It's hither 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: duplicy Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected. 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: You Stall said b. 4 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: Right, good afternoon, welcome to the show coming up today. 5 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: Yet another miller's closed pan pack has confirmed it shut 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: of the Napier pulp mill because of power prices. We're 7 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: gonna have a chat to them after five. Christ Church 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: Cathedral looks like it's gonna be mothboard. We'll talk to 9 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: a christ Church City councilor about that. And what actually 10 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: did happen to the attiti last night? Was it too windy? 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: Was it the wrong course that was put in? Hopefully 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: the crew lawyer will be able to fill us in. 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: Heather duplicy l on the christ Church Cathedral rebuild, I 14 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: actually think Nichola Willis has made the right call not 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 2: to give any more tax payer money to it. I 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: mean it's a tough call, right, It's gonna have consequences. 17 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: As they're saying, it looks like the cathedral might be 18 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: mothboard because they just cannot figure out at the stage 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: how else they're going to raise the money. But frankly, 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: I don't need you to you don't need me to 21 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: tell you this. The country can't afford to give them 22 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: another sixty million dollars, can it. We're living on our 23 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: credit card. We've already stumped up about twenty five million 24 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: bucks to help them out. And let's remember this is 25 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: a privately owned church. It's owned by the Anglicans. It's 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: not like we are helping to build something that belongs 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: to us. It belongs to the Anglicans. And they are 28 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: sitting on about two point nine billion dollars worth of 29 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: assets at last count, just in this country alone. Liquid 30 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: ad an asset if you want to pay for it now. 31 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: I don't want to appear to be callous about this 32 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: because I realize that this is a really important place 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: for christ Church and it will be disappointing to a 34 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: lot of Cantabrians. But christ Church has had a lot 35 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: of taxpayer assistance since the quake, you know, quite rightly, 36 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: quite rightly, but it's been a lot, and there has 37 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: got to be a limit to it. And I want 38 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: to compare it to what's happened to Wellington. For example, 39 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: Wellington actually suffered a lot more than people realized from 40 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: the twenty sixteen CAI Coda earthquake. I mean, I think 41 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: we've come to realize that the most likely explanation for 42 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: all of the pipes bursting in Wellington currently is because 43 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: of the quake that happened in twenty sixteen, and there 44 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: has been, as far as I can tell, no taxpayer 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: assistance for Wellington in dealing with what has happened as 46 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: a result of that quake. Now I realize it's not 47 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: a straight comparison. I mean, the christ Church quake of 48 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: twenty eleven was miles miles bigger and much more devastating 49 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: than the twenty sixteen Cai Coda quake, and so of 50 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: course Wellington would not be assisted to the level that 51 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: christ Church has been. But the point I'm trying to 52 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: make is that apart from some funding for privately held residences, 53 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: Wellington has not been helped. Christ Church has been helped 54 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: a lot. And maybe it's time for the Anglicans to 55 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: help now because it is their building after all. 56 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: Heller do for see Allen nine. 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: Two is the tex number. You're welcome to weigh in 58 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: on that, and we will get into it around about 59 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: five ten or thereabouts. Now new migrants are going to 60 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: have to pay a lot more to come here. From 61 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: October one, prices for new visas are set to skyrocket. 62 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: The price of a skilled residence visa is going to 63 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: rise more than two thousand dollars. It's about four thy 64 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: three hundred the moment, it's going to be six thousand, 65 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: five hundred. Work visas will cost about double the current price, 66 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: and applicants in the investor plus category will have to 67 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: pay about twenty seven and a half thousand dollars for 68 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: a visa, which is more than triple what they pay 69 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: at the moment. A Rooney Madingra is the chair of 70 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 2: the New Zealand Association for Migration and Investment and with 71 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: us now, hey here, is this going to put off 72 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: any migrants from coming here? 73 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: It possibly will. I mean what I say is that 74 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: we kin't use this. As you know, across all the categories, 75 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: we will see different effects across different categories of visas. 76 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: For example, if New Zealand keeps offering what we offer 77 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: for students studying master's courses here, I wouldn't expect that 78 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: we would see a drop in interest for that piece. 79 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: But for the other categories, say carpenters or tilers that 80 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: actually have no residence pathways. 81 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 4: Why would they even bother coming to New Zealand. 82 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: Okay, so for anybody who actually has the possibility of 83 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: becoming a resident and therefore becoming a citizen, this is 84 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: absolutely not going to put them off fair. 85 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: I mean at will. There's a lot of thinking that 86 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: needs to happen, and when employers that bring people into 87 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: the country, they will now have to budget for a 88 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: lot more. And one of the things that I quite 89 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: say blatantly is I understand that the government's trying to 90 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: align this with Australia, but the reality is we are 91 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 3: not Australia. Our economy is not the same and people 92 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: have different motivations to come here. 93 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 2: Is it a bad thing a rouma if we actually 94 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 2: have some migrants who are dissuaded from coming here, because 95 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: frankly we're running hot at the. 96 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 5: Moment on this, yeah, I think it is. 97 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 4: We have to be very careful. 98 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: It has a potential of really being detrimental to the 99 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: New Zealand immigration system and in how it supplements our workforce. 100 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 3: When we are increasing these fees, we have to give 101 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 3: people something in return. With the current situation with operationalizing 102 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: with immigration, New Zealand inconsistent decision making, the time it takes, 103 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 3: and then to increase the fees on top is a 104 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 3: disaster waiting to happen. 105 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: I mean, the argument the government's making at the moment 106 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 2: is that these fees will put us on power the 107 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: Aussies and the UK. Is that right? 108 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 3: It will? But I think what I say to that 109 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: is that we are not the UK and we are 110 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: not Australia. We cannot compare apples to apples. And if 111 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: we are going to put ourselves in that position, then 112 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of other factors that need 113 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 3: to be taken into account. We are I mean, can I. 114 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: Just say though, I mean, you're making it sound like 115 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: if we put the stuff in, nobody's going to want 116 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: to come here. The fact is we are a very 117 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: attractive destination. They will still wonder come in. 118 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: I mean, people obviously have motivations, and like I said, 119 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: if you look at a student visa, it doesn't matter 120 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: how much you increase the feest because they get so 121 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 3: much for doing a master's here, They're still going to 122 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 3: be ques outside of New Zealand. When you look at 123 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: other visa categories, like there's partners that have people here. 124 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 3: This is going to hit the pocket. And then you 125 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 3: have those employers that are bringing workers from overseas, they're 126 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: going to have to pay. 127 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: A lot more. 128 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 3: So if we are increasing the fees, we have to 129 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: get our immigration processing these visa consistently and in a 130 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: timely manner. 131 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 4: We have to give a better customer service. 132 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: Okay, if you're charging more, you have to make sure 133 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: that the service is improved. 134 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 4: Right, Well, you can't expect someone to aid four months 135 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 4: for a visa. 136 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 2: No, fair enough? What's the UK service? 137 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 6: Like? 138 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 4: I mean, the thing is that UK service. 139 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: I mean they've got fast priority qs and I don't 140 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: really operate in that space. But it's not apples to apples. 141 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: All I'm saying is the feesa is going to increase 142 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 3: from the first of October. Let's not give people more 143 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 3: incentives with a brilliant customer. 144 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: Service, even make it better than because. 145 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 3: Currently operationalization within immigration is a bit. 146 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 4: Of a mess and it has to be rectified. 147 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, a fair point. Hey a Runema, thank you very much. 148 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: I really appreciate you perspective. That's a Runeama Ingra, a 149 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: chair of the New Zealand Association for Migration and Investment. Now, 150 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: the reason that the government is doing this. I mean, 151 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: you could probably figure it out. Is because they are 152 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: saying the move freeze up five hundred and sixty three 153 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: million dollars over the next four years. Now what they 154 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: quite mean by freezer, I don't know what what's up 155 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: with that language. What that means is we get that money, 156 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: so we're going to be so we got I don't see. Frankly, 157 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: I'm all on board of this, an't you. I mean, 158 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: we have always been a migration destination, we always will be. 159 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: We may as well get some dollars from the people 160 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: coming in on their way, and why not here the 161 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: great show christ Church can pay for their own I'm 162 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: a taxpayer stuff the churches, et cetera. Listen, the C 163 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: two boys. Now, the C two boys did the canoeing 164 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: last night, but that's not actually the thing that we 165 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: were interested in, because we know that they're a bit 166 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: crappy at that. What we were interested in is how 167 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: did they compete in the K four, which is the 168 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: whole point of them trying to get in through this 169 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: back door way of doing the canoeing and stuff like that. 170 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: How do they go in the kayaking? They were in 171 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: the final they made it to the final. They came last. 172 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: Now that sounds bad, it's not bad. What it means 173 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: is that they are the eighth best K four crew 174 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: in the world, which actually is not a bad thing. 175 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: The sports boys, we're just telling me a minute ago. 176 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 2: It is an up and coming sport in New Zealand, 177 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 2: the K for we're not actually that good at it yet, 178 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: like we are on the improve with it. It is 179 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: the Marquis event if you're into kayaking, apparently it's the 180 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: most competitive one. So for us to be in the 181 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: top eight in the world in kayaking is actually in 182 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: K four is actually not a bad thing. And bear 183 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: in mind that the New Zealand Olympic Committee's criteria for 184 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: whether we send you to the Olympics or not is 185 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: can you be in the top sixteen. These boys are 186 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: in the top eight, so that absolutely earned their place 187 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: and justified going in the roundabout back way doing the canoeing. Anyway, 188 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: let's talk sport next with Jason Pine quarter past. 189 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's hither duper c 190 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: Allen Drive with one New Zealand one giant leaf for business. 191 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: U Storks be hither to be fair.

So we've got three medals last night? 198 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: How good? 199 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 7: Ah, very good watching the rowing, watching Lisa Carrington and 200 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 7: that K four because they they lagged behind the Germans, 201 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 7: they were leading the game for well, the Germans started 202 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 7: inching forward. You had a commentator's getting all excited about 203 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 7: the Germans and suddenly oomph, here we go again and 204 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 7: Karen go not on my watch here she leaned over 205 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 7: and said hold my beer and then charged. It was. 206 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 7: It was a magnificent race to watch. It really was outstanding. 207 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 7: I'm like the joy, the joy, and then so obviously 208 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 7: I passed out on the couch. I don't know what time, 209 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 7: it was some ridiculous hour and I wake up, bolt 210 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 7: upright at seven in the morning. I went, what are 211 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 7: my videos? Alessandrado the gold so yeah, starting and let's 212 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 7: not forget the Knacker as well with the bronze medal 213 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 7: for the Sailors. So it's not all bad. It was 214 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 7: a really entertaining night. 215 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: Why hasn't the all black scams sold out? 216 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 7: Because no one in Wellington has any money? 217 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 2: Do you reckon? That's what it is? 218 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 7: Well people ask me this and I'm always throwing up 219 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 7: theory our jobs. That was your theory. We're becoming alarmingly 220 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 7: too similar, Heather thing. 221 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: That's why they're calling me work at the moment. 222 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 7: Are they really why? I don't think you're that bad 223 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 7: or good? You wonder though, if if Wellington we know 224 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 7: in Wellington and Wellington Christmas is great because there's no 225 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 7: one there because everyone goes home because everyone works for 226 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 7: civil services, right and there's got my money, there's no jobs, 227 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 7: or they're just like how the Olympic consilement is a. 228 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 2: Reflection of how much we care about a game against 229 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: the RGS. 230 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 7: Possibly, Yeah, I think that in any disastrous situation, it's 231 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 7: not one trigger that causes the disaster. Yeah, it's a 232 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,599 Speaker 7: number of different situations, and one of them would be 233 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 7: the lack of money. One of them be the fact 234 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 7: that's Argentina. One of them was saying, was there be 235 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 7: any promotion around this game? Did anyone know because we've 236 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 7: been watching the Olympics. You go over there and stay 237 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 7: over there. 238 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: Well, this is a fair point, right, it's hardly there's 239 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: hardly been much of a build up to it. 240 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 7: I wouldn't think so. 241 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. I mean if you compare it, for example, 242 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: this is a straight comparison, compare it to the build 243 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: up to the English match that was massive. Yes, matches, 244 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: I should say. Okay, now do you think that when 245 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: Alex Paulson signed left the Phoenix and signed to go 246 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: to Bournemouth and we were all excited about it, that 247 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: he actually knew that he was going to be loaned 248 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: back into New Zealand to the Auckland club. 249 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 7: I didn't think he had a clue. Really, we've got 250 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 7: him on the show tonight. 251 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: If he didn't have a clue, then he must be gutted. 252 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 7: I'd suggest. But what I think is like, I'm no 253 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 7: football head. People know that, you know, I'm vague interest. 254 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 7: I talk a lot about it because Sports broadcaster. As 255 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 7: soon as I saw that, I'm like, well he's coming 256 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,239 Speaker 7: back here, an't it? So today to work. 257 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 2: And when you saw the signing happen. 258 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 7: We would going to Bournemouth under Bill Foley and this 259 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 7: part of the eland back playing for Auckland. Of course 260 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 7: he will. It didn't seem surprising to me when this 261 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 7: morning the news came out. I was actually fighting around 262 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 7: last night. Everyone's going, wow, get it. 263 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: In the first in his first season. 264 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 7: They wanted somebody up there in Auckland doing well for 265 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 7: their team. They wanted to create some wonderful gust goalie. 266 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 7: It's a great goalie. But the problem here is that 267 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 7: he thought foolishly, I might add, because you just it's 268 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 7: the whole Ockham's Raiser thing, you know, it's just like 269 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 7: the least very outcomes. They need a goalkeeper. You play 270 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 7: in the A League. The guy who owns you is 271 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 7: the same guy that owns the club that are. 272 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: I think you probably have Phoenix the feeling about it. 273 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 7: Well, we've got David Dome on the show to night 274 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 7: as well. I mus have talking to everybody about too, 275 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 7: because it's the casirous law that may be problematic, but 276 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 7: generally the A League want rid of that law because 277 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 7: they want to attract more high quality players to the 278 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 7: A League because the A League's going broke, so they 279 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 7: need more players. So I think that's a mere formality, 280 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 7: and David Dome was right to say, hey, can we 281 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 7: look at this police because there's a bit of a 282 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 7: law going on right now. But I look at Paulson. 283 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 7: He's thinking himself, well, I might maybe go to Bournemouth, 284 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 7: but I might end up playing in Europe or Amatic, 285 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 7: playing in Scotland. I'm not playing. And he was living 286 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 7: in this wonderful dream that I'm going. 287 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: To be that and then come and what No, Darcy, 288 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: he had to have known. That's too cruel to do 289 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: it to a young man like that. 290 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 7: He had known, right lights, big cities know this is 291 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 7: a figure. 292 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 2: This out for us tonight. We have to know whether 293 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: this whether he knew or. 294 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 7: I'll ask the punters to help me. Oh eight hundred 295 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 7: and eighty ten eighty the football fans out there, you 296 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 7: let me know what's. 297 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: Going Yeah, yeah, totally.

Let's 309 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: get connected and news talk as they'd be. 310 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 2: Hey, So the jury and the Polkinghorn murder trial have 311 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 2: visited the house in Remons where this all happened. Now 312 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: it's a multimillion dollar place. Well it would be because 313 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: it's in Rimawara, isn't it. It's two story. What the 314 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 2: jury did was they walked through the house, directed by 315 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: a police officer, but they weren't allowed to ask any 316 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: questions or anything like that was it appears to have 317 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: be done largely in silence from the jury. They entered 318 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: through the entrance way where Hannah Pauline Hannah's body was found. 319 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: They then turned left to go upstairs to the guest 320 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: bedroom in the en suite. Then they walked through to 321 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: the master bedroom on the right side of the house. 322 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: Then they went downstairs again, following the route that apparently 323 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: Polkinghorn had taken into the kitchen in the dining area 324 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: at least according to defense, they then went to the library, 325 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: sorry the laundry. They actually asked to go to the 326 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: laundry where damp sheets were found in the dryer during 327 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: the scene examination. And they were in the house for 328 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: around about half an hour doing this. And then after 329 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: the jury had gone through, the lawyers and the judge 330 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: and the judge's assistant went through, the media were not allowed. 331 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: How fascinating is that, I imagine? Yeah, I mean, putting it, 332 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: putting it all into perspective would be quite quite a 333 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: good thing to do. Listen, I need to keep you 334 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: up up to speed on what's going on with the 335 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 2: powers situations to stand by, and I will do that 336 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: very shortly. Heither, what do people think the outcome is 337 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: going to be when the criteria to get a job 338 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: with Kibi railers the ability to speak set or on 339 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: how much community volunteer work you do, rather than your 340 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: competence at being the captain of the ship. Jeez. I 341 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: mean it's like this everywhere now, isn't it. You could 342 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 2: get a job at Treasure, but you could get a 343 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: job at the Reserve Bank, just like if you have 344 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: an expertise in diversity, never mind actually being an economist. 345 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: This is how the place works at the moment. I've 346 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: got a counter argument coming through on the cathedral, loud 347 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: and clear, so stand by for that headline's. 348 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Next hard questions, strong opinion ever duper see Ellen drive 349 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: with one New Zealand let's get connected and news talks. 350 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 8: It be we. 351 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 9: Gathered colds the weatheriz still far. 352 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: Right. 353 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: Dan Minchenson is standing by out of the US plenty 354 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: to talk about there in politics and then of course 355 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 2: politics in New Zealand with Barry Soap very shortly now. 356 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: Earlier this week we got a text suggesting that we 357 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: haven't heard the end of the mill closures right because 358 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: of the power power prices and so far what we've 359 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: heard is that Winston is closing briefly for two weeks 360 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: two of its mills near Uhakuni, and og is closing 361 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: its Penrose mill, possibly permanently. That text said to us 362 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 2: check out some of the other ones as well. Mentioned. 363 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 2: Pan Pack in Hawk's Bay can now confirm yep, they 364 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: have stopped production. They stop production on Saturday. This is 365 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: their pulp mill. Pan Pack is quite big, right, and 366 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: they've got a bunch of stuff that they do other 367 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: than pulp as well, but all of what they do 368 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: accounts for about six percent of hawks Bay's gdpiece is massive. 369 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 2: Now the PULP will be a portion of that. It 370 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: will not be six percent entirely, but that's a big deal, right, 371 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: So that the text was right on that, and we're 372 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: going to talk to Tony Clifford, who is the CEO 373 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: at pan Pac. He'll be with us after five o'clock. 374 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 2: The text also said check out kin Leath as well. 375 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 2: That may be closed or closing. So we got in 376 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 2: touch with the OG and yep, Kinleith is also in trouble. 377 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 2: This text proved to be very very accurate. The CEO say, 378 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 2: isn't a statement you would expect us to look across 379 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: the whole company. For example, we are working on a 380 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 2: detailed improvement plan for Kinleath. So there you go. It's 381 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 2: much much bigger than just the three that we had 382 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 2: heard about. Somebody in authority said to me this morning. 383 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 2: They made a really good point. They said, in total, 384 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: what we are looking at right now is about a 385 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: thousand jobs in the regions, and that includes Penrose and Auckland, 386 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 2: about a thousand jobs under threat. Why is the media 387 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 2: not crying gigantic tears about a thousand people's jobs in 388 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 2: the regions when they cry gigantic tears about public sector 389 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: cuts in Wellington. I mean a thousand jobs in Wellington 390 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: apparently counts for a lot more than in the regions. 391 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 2: But anyway, we won't be beating up on the media 392 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: too much today because we've done a lot of that 393 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: haven't been recently. Twenty three away from five. 394 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: It's the World Wires on newstalks'd be. 395 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 2: Drive, It's showtime. Donald Trump and Karmala Harris have agreed 396 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 2: to debate each other three times in September. They're going 397 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: to start on the fourth of September on Fox. 398 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 7: So I think it's very important that we have them. 399 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 10: I hope she agrees to him September fourth, September tenth, 400 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 10: September twenty fifth, and I think they'll be very revealing. 401 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:13,239 Speaker 11: Now. 402 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: Kamla is obviously going to be hoping it goes a 403 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 2: little bit better for her than Joe Biden, and it 404 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 2: probably will. Noah Lyles, who's the Olympic champion over one 405 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: hundred meters, missed out on the gold medal in the 406 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 2: two hundred meters. Unfortunately, he did take home the bronze 407 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 2: because he collapsed on the track after the race had 408 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 2: to be carted off in a wheelchair by paramedics. Turns 409 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: out he had COVID. 410 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 12: USA Truck and Field have confirmed that he had tested 411 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 12: positive for COVID two days ago. He leaves pirates for 412 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 12: two medals, one in the one hundred that gold and 413 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 12: this bronze medal in the two hundred meters. But there 414 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 12: will be questions now over whether he should have run 415 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 12: that race today. I've been known for two days that 416 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 12: he's got COVID. People all us that, and USA Truck 417 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 12: and Field have said it was his. 418 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: Choice and he's still got bronze. How amazing is that? 419 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: And millennials, this one's for you. Well, you can now 420 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: stay in a life sized Polly Pocket House if you 421 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 2: want to. In celebration of the dolls thirty fifth anniversary, 422 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: Airbnb is offering guests the chance to book a one 423 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: night's stay in a life size replica of Pollypocket's compact home. 424 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: Guests can get ready at Polly's vanity. They've got the 425 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: press on nails for you've got the butterfly hair clips, 426 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: and there's also a retro fridge which is filled with snacks. 427 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: That every nineties kid. 428 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: Wanted, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 429 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 430 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: Dan Mitch's the US correspondents with US. Now, Hey, Dan, Hey, 431 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: what are the snacks that every nineties kid wanted? 432 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 13: Do you reckon? I don't know. I'm just glad I 433 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 13: didn't grow up in the nineties. 434 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 2: When did you grow the eighties? 435 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 14: Did you? 436 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 3: No? 437 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 13: No, No, I'll keep going back. 438 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you're really ong. 439 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 14: No. 440 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 2: I mean, surely, like what was it in the nineties 441 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: would have been like gob stoppers? 442 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 13: I honestly don't know. 443 00:19:59,359 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: Deterted. 444 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 13: Mine is grunge. That's the only thing I can think of. 445 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 2: I can't even think what the snacks were back then. Dan, Listen, 446 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. I mean, she's taken an eight point lead 447 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: over Donald Trump and new poll that's significant. She wins. 448 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 13: I mean, that's huge. 449 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 15: I think that's that's that's better than a margin of 450 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 15: error right now. And they showed that when you throw 451 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 15: in the third party candidate, that she's leading voters fifty 452 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 15: percent to Donald Trump's forty two percent. And that's huge 453 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 15: compared to what Joe Biden was trailing. Donald Trump, which 454 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 15: was something like forty one to forty four percent just 455 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 15: a couple of months ago. So I think that this 456 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 15: lead is a little bit of a honeymoon phase right now. 457 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 15: But the polls showed that this is still going to 458 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 15: be a close race. And you know, she's gaining momentum, 459 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 15: and not just with the public opinion. I mean, her 460 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 15: fundraising has been astronomical. 461 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: Donald Trump made the point that she doesn't want to 462 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: be interviewed by anybody. Now, why would that be. 463 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 15: I think she has a case of biden itis in 464 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 15: a way. I don't think she is the best person 465 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 15: to string sentences together sometimes in interviews, and we've seen. 466 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 13: That quite a bit. And she laughs. 467 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 15: She has a very nervous laugh. It's a great laugh, 468 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 15: but it just comes at inappropriate times. So I think 469 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 15: she's holding off. I think her handlers are holding off. 470 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 15: They're trying to ride this wave of positive press that 471 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 15: she's received so far. 472 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 13: And then we'll kind of see what happens in the 473 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 13: coming weeks. 474 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 15: But you're right, the press is a little frustrated right 475 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 15: now that they can't get some one on one. 476 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 11: Time with her. 477 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, look, she's obviously she's riding that 478 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: honeymoon wave, and that's a very smart thing to do. 479 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 2: But at some stage it will wane and she will 480 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 2: have to give interviews, won't she. 481 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 13: Well, she will because you have to find out where 482 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 13: she stands. 483 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: Are Is she any good at debates? 484 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 15: You know what, I can honestly say, I've never really 485 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 15: I can't remember the last time she had any debate 486 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 15: against anybody. I think it's going to be a little 487 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 15: bit more precise than when Donald Trump goes off on 488 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 15: his tangents. 489 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 13: But I think it's how Trump says things. 490 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 15: It always makes him look like he's come out on 491 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 15: top of a lot of his debates, even if what 492 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 15: he's seen is not factually correct. 493 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: Now, did you see the video of jd Vance going 494 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: to the airport on the tarmac and trying to sort 495 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 2: of get near Kamala Harris an Air Force two and 496 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: force her to talk to the media. 497 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 15: I thought it looked like a scene out of something 498 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 15: like Entourage, the TV show or something like that. 499 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: Dick when he does stuff like this, I. 500 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 15: Don't know why he was trying to do it, except 501 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 15: that it made for some good TV and it made 502 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 15: for a lot of funny memes. I mean, there was 503 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 15: no way he was going to get some one on 504 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 15: one time with Kamala Harris. Now, I think if this 505 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 15: had been twenty years ago, I think that would have 506 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 15: been a great move. I think it would have been 507 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 15: nice to have seen both those candidates shake hands and 508 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 15: wish each other the best of luck. 509 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 13: But stuff like that just doesn't happen these days. 510 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: Does it play well for him though, because I think 511 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 2: he looks like a bit of a clown, am I 512 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:45,719 Speaker 2: being idea? 513 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 13: No, No, I think you're right. 514 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 15: I think it just looks like something an amateur did 515 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 15: and trying to get some face time, and unfortunately the 516 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 15: media gave it to him. 517 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 2: Thank you. Hey, okay, so talk to me about why 518 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 2: we need to tell time on the Moon and what 519 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: the complications are. What's going on here, apparently. 520 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 15: The Moon because there's this there's less gravity on the 521 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 15: Moon th there's here on Earth. Things move a little 522 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 15: more quickly, just a microseconds every day compared with Earth. 523 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 15: So by getting this time system down that NASA wants 524 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 15: to do with international agencies around the world, they want 525 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 15: to establish what they're calling a Moon centric time reference system. 526 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 15: And you think, well, what big, I mean, that's like 527 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 15: when we moved clocks at whatever we do every four 528 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 15: years because of leap here, right, But this would provide 529 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 15: time keeping benchmarks for spacecraft and satellites that are up there, 530 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 15: and landings and data transfers, so a lot more things 531 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 15: than we kind of give it credit for. And I 532 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 15: think that's why they're trying to synchronize everything so everybody's 533 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 15: sort of on the same plane. 534 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 2: Hey, have you watched this video cam? The body can 535 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 2: off the. 536 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 15: Half and it was a lot more telling than I 537 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 15: was expecting to. You can see the officer being lifted 538 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 15: up by what you can see quite a few officers going. 539 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 15: I mean, it was like an episode of Cops almost, 540 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 15: As he's struggling to to hoist himself up and he 541 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 15: looks over the edge of the roof and he can 542 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 15: see the shooter. And then he gets back down on 543 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 15: the ground and he's warning fellow officers about what's going on. 544 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 15: And then seconds later you see the shooter open fire 545 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 15: at the former president's rally. In the next moment, you 546 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 15: see the gunman dead within seconds of his first shot. 547 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 15: And I think this is giving a lot of I 548 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 15: don't want to see evidence necessarily, but it's certainly opening 549 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 15: a lot of eyes to what happened during that time 550 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 15: and giving some credibility to why the Secret Service is 551 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 15: having to answer all. 552 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 13: These questions interesting about how that guy got up there 553 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 13: and what he did. 554 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 2: Thank you, Dan, I really appreciate it. Go and enjoy 555 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: your weekend. That's Dan Mitchinson, now US correspondent. Okay, here 556 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: are some nineties lollies and you will remember these, do 557 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 2: you remember? Nerds used to buy them. I don't know 558 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: if you still can get them, but you used to 559 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: buy them in a little box that was round about 560 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 2: the size of a packet of Sigies, maybe just slightly 561 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 2: smaller than a packet of Siggies, and it was divided 562 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 2: in half, the cawdbo box. You'd have these little like 563 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 2: sliding things on either side where you could open one 564 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 2: hole on one side and one hole on the other side, 565 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: and each half so the half of each box was 566 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 2: full of a different flavor of these little like tiny, 567 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 2: like little granular pieces of candy that were a little 568 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 2: bit sour and poppy, and they were called nerds. So 569 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: you'd have the orange ones on one side and the 570 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 2: pink ones on the other side. They were my favorites. 571 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: I think was the mixture of orange and pink. Bubble tape. 572 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: Do you remember that you used to get Hubba Bubba? 573 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: Remember Hubba Bubba was the chewing gum which had sort 574 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 2: of like a it would have two different flavors, would 575 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: be two different colors. It was really intense and full on, 576 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 2: very flexible for the blowing and stuff. And then you 577 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 2: could buy the Hubba Bubba bubble tape, which was basically 578 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 2: chewing gum in a in a in a tape form 579 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 2: like basically it looked like a like a builder's tape. Warheads. 580 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 2: Remember the warheads? Do you remember the warheads? Warheads were 581 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 2: little candies that came in there individually wrapped and they 582 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: had a little head on the front like there was 583 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 2: the picture, and they were sour. And that was the 584 00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: point was that it was like it was an intense 585 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 2: experience to be sucking on those lollies. So, yeah, you 586 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 2: go to the polypocket house to help yourself to a 587 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: whole bunch of this really delicious and nutritious snack time. 588 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: Barry Soaper's next fourteen away from five. 589 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: Politics was centrics credit check your customers and get payments certainty. 590 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 2: By senior political correspondence with US Now hy Berry, Good. 591 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 7: Afternoon, Heather. 592 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 16: Do you know you know when you were mentioning lollies 593 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 16: that you remembered as a kid.

They's sort of like like I don't really know 603 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: how you said like that. They weren't that big gay. 604 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: They were like the size of any little dollies. Yeah, Okay. 605 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: Did you see that the Maori party is boycotting the Herald? 606 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 16: Well, you know, a party that commands about one point 607 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 16: to three or one point five percent of the vote, 608 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 16: I would think would corner all the publicity than it 609 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,959 Speaker 16: can possibly do. But their Herald two days ago ran 610 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 16: a full front page advertisement from Hobson's pledge talking about 611 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 16: the foreshot on seabed. 612 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 7: Much of it is. 613 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 16: Being challenged at the moment in the courts. So the 614 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 16: Maldi party because they ran because the Herald ran. What 615 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 16: you'd say, in a democracy, you should be able to 616 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 16: run an add they've decided, no, we're going to turn 617 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 16: our backs on their herald. They've already done that with 618 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 16: News Talk zeb. Anyway, this party is going to end 619 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 16: up not being able to talk to anyone. 620 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, but doesn't matter because they are able to go 621 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 2: over the heads of all the media and talk to 622 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 2: social media and that's where their strength lies. 623 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 16: Well, they haven't got a lot of strength out there 624 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 16: in the electorate other than the Maldy seats. So if 625 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 16: they can maintain their presence in the Maldi seats, good luck. 626 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: And they're being reasonable as per usual, demanding a written 627 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: apology to in all publications and voice it on all 628 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 2: radio frequencies. As her. What are the politicians saying about 629 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: the energy crist Well, you know. 630 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 16: It's interesting that it was led by Shane Jones of 631 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 16: course this week Regional Development, him issuing a warning to 632 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 16: the electricity generators saying if they didn't sort it out, 633 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 16: then the government would step in and do so. Well, 634 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 16: I'm not quite sure what the government would do. But 635 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 16: Nikola willis she followed up, she said inquiries were being made. 636 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 16: Simmian Brown, Well, he says the electricity generators, he met 637 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 16: with them this week and he left us saying that 638 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 16: we need to have assurances that we're going to see 639 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 16: a competitive market. 640 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 17: Now. 641 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 16: Winston Peters went as he's wont to do a step further, 642 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 16: essentially accusing the generators of anti competitive behavior. I'm not 643 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 16: quite sure what they expect the generators to do other 644 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 16: than I guess cut their profit. So he said they're 645 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 16: profiteering on the backs of people that have to pay 646 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 16: their power bills. The end of this should result, and 647 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 16: it won't in Labor coming to the table and saying, look, 648 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 16: we banned gas exploration, oil exploration. We should allow the 649 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 16: government and support it in lifting that pan, because you know, 650 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 16: these are areas that New Zealand should be exploring for. 651 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 16: But it was interesting and I went back to have 652 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 16: a look at when that band was announced, and I 653 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 16: remember it was announced without any consultation with the sector itself. 654 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 16: Meghan Woods and Jason durn simply came out standing on 655 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 16: the stage with them at the time, and I've got 656 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 16: to say, in fairness, looking rather uncomfortable. There was Jasinda 657 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 16: Dern taking the microphone, Meghan Wood standing looking satisfied off 658 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 16: to the side, and James Sure on the other side, and. 659 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 7: In the back Joe with his. 660 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 2: Hand across his face. 661 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 16: He still got up there and still was part of 662 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 16: that announcement. 663 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 2: Barry, you are right. The smokers lollies were sweeter than anisey. 664 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: They were in fact a musk flavor according to a 665 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: lot of textures. And you will be pleased to know that, 666 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 2: according to this text they've still got them in their 667 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 2: car permanently. They stock them at the local countdown all Worths. 668 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 16: Oh goodness, I must go and buy some now. I 669 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 16: didn't think they are They still called smokers. 670 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: Big weekend ahead for Barry. Thank you, Barry, appreciate it. 671 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 2: We'll wrap the political week work was with you quarter 672 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 2: Pastics or thereabouts. Barry Soper, Senior political correspondent, putting the. 673 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: Tough questions to the newspeakers the mic asking breakfast, is. 674 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 10: Your minister Syme and Browns with us? 675 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 8: When will we know that? Alan Jee? 676 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 18: Well, we've got a piece of work underway at the 677 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 18: moment around there, but there's some pretty key decisions that 678 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 18: need to be made. 679 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 13: What about and I know what the. 680 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 10: Power companies will say, especially the gent Taylors. When Onslow 681 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 10: was on the scene, they didn't see the need to 682 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 10: invest in any more capacity. 683 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 13: Is that a fair argum or not? 684 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 18: Or there was an absolutely fair argument at the time, 685 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 18: but we've taken that off the table. We've made it 686 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 18: very clear that we're not going to be building a 687 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 18: big mess of Onslow. But at the same time, we 688 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 18: need to see these guys investing. 689 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 10: Why would they they're making money like this no tomorrow. 690 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 18: Well, ultimately that's why we also need to make it 691 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 18: easy for other people to enter the market too, and 692 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 18: that's what Fasstrack's all about. 693 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 10: Back Monday from six am the mic asking Breakfast with 694 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 10: the Rain drove of the last news talk ZB. 695 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 2: So it doesn't look like well, it seems that there 696 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 2: may be some dud medals out there, or maybe all 697 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: of the medals duds. We don't know, but there are 698 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,719 Speaker 2: some questions around the quality of the medals that are 699 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: being handed out at the Olympics at the moment. Because 700 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: there's a young one who's a skateboarder from American Niger, Houston, 701 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 2: and he got himself the bronze medal in skateboarding, and he, 702 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: I mean like literally got it days ago, and he's 703 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: put up a picture on social media and the thing 704 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 2: looks like it was made in like nineteen seventy nine. 705 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: It's all chipped and degraded, and it genuinely does not 706 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: look like a brand new medal. So there are questions 707 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 2: around what on earth is going on here because there 708 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: are some rules around actually the men content and stuff 709 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 2: within the metals. Anyway, Ian Ferguson is going to be 710 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 2: with us in twenty minutes time. We'll see how his 711 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: medals are holding up all these years later. But also 712 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 2: what I really want to know from him is whether 713 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 2: he thinks the K four boys have actually earned their 714 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 2: spot like I do. He's more of an expert than me, 715 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 2: so that's why we got him and not just me 716 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 2: ranting on for three minutes about it. Here is the 717 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 2: argument for why the Anglicans should not have to pay 718 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: for the christ Church Cathedral rebuild, sent me by Stephen Heather. 719 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 2: The Anglicans wanted to replace the cathedral with something else, 720 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: but the government and the public force them to rebuild 721 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 2: the old cathedral. So that's fair, right. That's a bit 722 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: rough to be like Okay, they don't want it, and 723 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 2: then we're like, well halfway through it and we're like, okay, 724 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 2: maybe you've got to pay the sixty eighty five million 725 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: whatever it is. However, it shouldn't be us either, just 726 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 2: because it shouldn't be there. It shouldn't be us the taxpayer, 727 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: so somebody else is going to have to find the 728 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 2: money somewhere. Anyway, we'll have a chat to christ Church 729 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 2: City councilor tim scandret about it very shortly. But next up, 730 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 2: let's talk to pan Pack and find out what the 731 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: hell is going on with their mills as well. Now, 732 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 2: News Talks EB. 733 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 734 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: get the answers by the backs and give the analysis. 735 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: Heather Do to thee Alum Drive with One New Zealand 736 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: let's get connected a news talk as z B. 737 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 2: Afternoon. Will the issues with the country's power keep on coming? 738 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 2: Another mill is shuttered. This time it's Pan Packs pulp 739 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 2: mill near Napier, which has stopped production until power prices 740 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 2: fall again. It says the energy crisis has become so 741 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: bad now, but it's actually cheaper to stop working rather 742 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: than produce at a loss. Pan PAC's managing director is 743 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 2: Tony Clifford. 744 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: Hay Tony, Hello, Heather, how long do. 745 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 2: You expect you'll have to keep this production on Holt for? 746 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 19: Oh, that's a very good question, you know. I just 747 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,959 Speaker 19: want to emphasize it with pm PEP. We've still got 748 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 19: our forestry and lumber business running at one hundred percent, 749 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 19: but it's the energy intensive side of our business. So 750 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 19: it's making mechanical pulp that we've had to halt since Saturday. 751 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 19: Power prices went through the roof on Saturday, and we 752 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 19: just cannot generate profit when prices are as they are. 753 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 19: But how long, I've said to my staff there's a 754 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 19: couple of things that had to happen. Either it has 755 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 19: to rain a lot in the South Island in the 756 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 19: hydroc catchment areas, or we have to have the commercial 757 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 19: operation of the Tihara plant in Toppol come online, where 758 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 19: we have a power purchasing agreement with that company and 759 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 19: currently they are experiencing problems. And so yeah, we're at 760 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 19: the moment one hundred feet exposed to the also electricity market. 761 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 2: What do you reckon? What's your outlook? I mean, Winston's 762 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 2: talking about being downing tools for two weeks. Are you 763 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 2: guys looking at a similar kind of. 764 00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 19: Period, It's at least two weeks. You know, we expecting 765 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 19: Tahar potentially can't come online until October, and you know 766 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 19: maybe in that time two months, yes, and then we're 767 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 19: talking here. The point I may deal with ministers in 768 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 19: our meeting on Wednesday that this is just not a 769 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 19: pen pack issue. This is all energy intensive and particularly 770 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 19: energy intensive trade exposed businesses, because there's absolutely no hope 771 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 19: that we can pass on escalating power prices through to 772 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 19: our customer, our international customer. We're competing against supplies from 773 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 19: all around the world and they just are not exposed 774 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 19: to these type of electricity prices. So the other message 775 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 19: I'm really trying to get people get through is that 776 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 19: this is not just a one year event. You know, 777 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 19: low hydro situations do happen every seven to ten years, 778 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 19: but we've been experiencing escalating electricity prices at the wholesale 779 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 19: level since twenty eighteen. And what we've got now is 780 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 19: a shortage of gas and a shortage of water, and 781 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 19: you know, recently shortage of wind and some and those 782 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 19: things that will come together to just give exceptionally high 783 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 19: spot prices, and yeah, so what we believe it is solvable. 784 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 19: This is as it said to people, this is not 785 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 19: a This is not like a transmission tower falling over 786 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 19: or someone digging up a gas line. Those are hard 787 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 19: engineering problems that have to be fixed. This is a 788 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 19: market design issue. The way the market works is that 789 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 19: the half hour spot price is set by the peak 790 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 19: supply price in any one half hour, and the assumption 791 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 19: for the market design has been that there is gas 792 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 19: and coal available for firming other options under normal conditions, 793 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 19: and that that gas supply has just been gradually getting 794 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 19: less and less, and that's been putting the price of 795 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 19: electricity up more and more. And you know, we've got 796 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 19: a probably you know that one of the solutions that 797 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 19: could be done temporarily is breaking that connection between the 798 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 19: cost of gas and the cost of electricity because there 799 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 19: is no ongoing shortage of electricity while it is an 800 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 19: ongoing shortage of gas. 801 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 2: All right, listen, Tony, is there any possibility that you 802 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 2: may in fact shut down some of your production permanently? 803 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 19: I would, I would hope not. That's not on my radar. 804 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 4: We believe do you believe that the. 805 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 2: Gent tailors are price gouging or profitearing. 806 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 19: I don't beat up on the generators. The generators are 807 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 19: operating their business under the set of rules that are 808 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 19: given to them, and that's to maximize this year holding 809 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 19: for their for their maximizing profit for their yearholders. To 810 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 19: the best of my knowledge, in the last ten years, 811 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 19: has only been one generator who've got a bit of 812 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 19: a slap on the risk for not for wasting water 813 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 19: when it could have been going into generation. But for 814 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 19: the most part that hasn't been able to be proven. Again, 815 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,959 Speaker 19: you know, the market design doesn't encourage lots of general 816 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 19: to be brought onto the market, that it does encourage 817 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 19: a degree of scarcity, and that that again that has 818 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 19: to be reviewed. And the other problem is, you know 819 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 19: everyone knows that gestation period to build a power station 820 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 19: in New Zealand is measured in years, not months. And 821 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 19: so you know, we're not going to fix this problem overnight. 822 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 19: It's the short term solution. I believe we have to 823 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 19: break this connection between the gas price and electricity price. 824 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 19: The long term solution is, you know, we need more generation. 825 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally listen, Tony. Thank you very much for your 826 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 2: time and best of luck dealing with this it's Tony Clifford, 827 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 2: pan PAC's managing. 828 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: Director Heather do for see Ellen. 829 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 2: So it looks like the christ Church Cathedral will be mothballed. 830 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 2: The government's decided it's not going to give the rebuild 831 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 2: any more money. They wanted another sixty million bucks from 832 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 2: the government. This means that they do not have enough 833 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 2: money to keep going with the rebuild. Christ Church City 834 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 2: councilor Tim Scandret is with us now, hate Tim, thank 835 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: you have you? Yeah, very well, thank you. See the 836 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 2: Council's put money on hold as well. 837 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 14: Laye, Well, we've we agreed some time ago to give 838 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 14: ten million, so we did three and now we've got seven. 839 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 14: And so they have fulfilled all the obligations under that agreement. 840 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 14: And so that's that's as far as we'll even agreed, 841 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 14: as far as I'm aware. 842 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 2: Okay, what's the fix? I mean, they've got to find 843 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 2: eighty five million bucks. Where they going to get it from? 844 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 14: Well, if you kind of go bagger into the Church 845 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 14: of England. It's a global organization, isn't it. Yeah, I 846 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 14: know that, you know in society now we live in 847 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 14: it now. But I think it took sixty years to 848 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 14: build it. In the first place, so you know, they 849 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 14: might have the time up their sleeve. 850 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 2: I agree with you. But they didn't want to have 851 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 2: to rebuild this thing in the first place, right they 852 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 2: were forced to do. 853 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 14: It, Yeah, exactly, And yeah that was totally in their 854 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 14: kind of fear. And you know, they were unhappy about that. 855 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,240 Speaker 14: But then you could argue that half of them weren't. 856 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 14: But maybe that that half that weren't unhappy about rebuilding 857 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 14: it should put their hands in their pockets and find 858 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 14: a bit more. 859 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 2: I mean, it seems to me they're gonna have to 860 00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 2: crowdfund this one. Put up a give a little page 861 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: or something. 862 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 14: Well, yeah, good luck. 863 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 2: I mean, could they actually sell something to fund it? 864 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 2: I mean, if they didn't really want to have to 865 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 2: rebuild it, could they just sell it? 866 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 14: Well, they've got property around the place, and you know, 867 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 14: maybe there's a deal deer, and if they came to 868 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 14: us with some options, if it's in the best interest 869 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 14: of the rate pass, maybe there could be a deal 870 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 14: deal with some of the areas I've got. But that's 871 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 14: you know that that hasn't happened yet. I think they 872 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 14: just really found out that the government said no. So 873 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 14: I'm sure that they're having a few discussions around the 874 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 14: table the. 875 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 2: Senate, Tim, thank you very much, really appreciated. Tim Scandret, 876 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 2: who is a christ You City councilor yeah, maybe that 877 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 2: metal was dropped in the seane probably listen and by 878 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 2: the way, we are going to talk to Ian Ferguson 879 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 2: about that. Next more bad news on the electricity. So 880 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 2: this is going to hit you potentially. This is where 881 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 2: it starts getting a bit curly for us. There's one 882 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 2: thing to be talking about meals shutting down and ask going, ah, 883 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 2: it's other people's jobs, don't care? What about when it's 884 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 2: coming at Yeah, we're being warned about possible power cuts 885 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 2: in the spring. Transpower right now is starting to prepare 886 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 2: what they call an official conservation campaign, so you know, 887 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 2: little South Africa styles a little bit, you know, you know, 888 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 2: stop using the electricity at hard times. It says, without action, 889 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 2: there would be an unacceptably high risk of both energy 890 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 2: shortages and capacity shortfall, which just basically means power cuts 891 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 2: during peak times. The risk that they've identified is that 892 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 2: at the moment we are running the hell out of 893 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,959 Speaker 2: our gas and coal turbines. They are running so hard 894 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 2: right now, and because they're running so hard it means 895 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 2: that we're at increased risk of a piece of equipment failing. 896 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 2: And if a piece of equipment fails, we're in trouble. 897 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 2: Quarter past, the global business stage is calling.

Back to 923 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 2: the nineteen seventies, we go nineteen past five. Now, apparently 924 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 2: the medals at this year's Olympics aren't that flash because 925 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 2: a skateboarder from the US has criticized the quality of 926 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 2: his bronze metal.

That's not on, is it? If 932 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 2: you go and win yourself a bronze that should stay 933 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 2: in good nick for years? 934 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 4: No, I just heard about this. 935 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 6: Mine, mine's forty years old my ones, and they're all 936 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 6: just exactly the same as the day they made, but 937 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 6: you know they are made differently. They've solid silver gold 938 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 6: plated with a decent coating of gold on them. Yeah, 939 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 6: so that's yeah, it's terrible. And it was I was 940 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 6: looking at them thinking that they look fantastic with a 941 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 6: bit of the Eiffel Tower on there. But now I'm 942 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 6: starting to wonder where they get that bit of metal 943 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 6: off the Eiffel Tar that they didn't undo the bolts 944 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 6: at the bottom, did they. 945 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:48,839 Speaker 20: Tower? 946 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 2: Do you reckon? We exported some of the Northland boys 947 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 2: to help them out with the medals. Yeah, I mean, 948 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 2: you know what is possible as well as he did 949 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 2: say that he wore it over the weekend and his 950 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 2: mates wore it over the weekend. And young people nowadays 951 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 2: can party quite hard. A they might have partied the 952 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 2: bronze off. 953 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah they possibly did. 954 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 6: Don't know what alcohol they're spilling all over it. 955 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 2: It's even just the whole judging by what's going on 956 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 2: with the hockey team. Hey, I have a question for you. 957 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 2: Do you think that the K four boys have redeemed 958 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 2: themselves and proved that in fact, the C two stunt 959 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 2: was worth it. 960 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, I do actually, because it wasn't the stunt it was. 961 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 6: It was you know, it was to us it seemed 962 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 6: like it and it was very, very embarrassing. But they 963 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 6: they obviously knew they had a you know, they were 964 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 6: a good team, which they show finally showed in the end, 965 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 6: but they wanted to get there, and yeah, it's it 966 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 6: was the wrong way to do it. I got it, mate, 967 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 6: But now that it's done, I think we just forget 968 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 6: it and go right. We've got a good team coming 969 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 6: on because they're all young, and yeah, they've got to 970 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 6: put up without a embarrassing race they had to do 971 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 6: and let them go and go on from there. 972 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: You know. 973 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 6: It's a matter of getting them interested in the Olympics 974 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,399 Speaker 6: and getting that drive from them. And yeah, I think 975 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,879 Speaker 6: this has taught them a lesson and they'll they'll come 976 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 6: out strong before it. 977 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, and I totally agree with you.

This is 980 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 2: the fourth fourth one that Bank ban because he hasn't 981 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 2: been doing a little bit for a while. All of 982 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 2: a sudden he's doing four animals, fourth in four days. 983 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 2: It's already been licked though, isn't it? Because he did 984 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 2: a wolf howling towards the sky and didn't think it through, 985 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 2: did he. He did it on a satellite dish on 986 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 2: top of a building in southeast London and within hours 987 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 2: someone nicked the satellite dish and I am I am 988 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 2: not joking. There are photographs online of the guy knicking 989 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 2: the dish, like literally you can go and look at 990 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 2: the guy and knicking the Banksy, which is like I 991 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 2: would have nicked it too, because that would be very 992 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 2: very expensive. Now he's got he's onto something very valuable. 993 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 2: He's gone to an extreme length. He's got himself a 994 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 2: balaclav It looks like properly like a thief. So anyway, 995 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 2: god on him, Banksy next time. Make sure it is 996 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 2: like properly bolted down, like just part of the part 997 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 2: of the building, maybe not even bolted down. Four twenty three. 998 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's hither duper clan 999 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand let's get connected and used dogs. 1000 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 2: That'd be either if you've ever owned a French car. 1001 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 2: You'll understand what's wrong with those medals. That is fair, 1002 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 2: That is fair. My brother owns a French car right now. 1003 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,759 Speaker 2: And because jeep is now run by the French, and 1004 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 2: let's just say it's not the old quality of the jeep. 1005 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 2: Is it just falling apart? Twenty five past five now 1006 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 2: Palastal City Council has just done me a mass of favor. 1007 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 2: They won't think that, but they have. They've voted to 1008 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 2: keep the Maori ward, but then they've called in the 1009 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 2: lawyers to find out what will happen if they just 1010 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 2: ignore the law and don't hold the referendum on it. 1011 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 2: And obviously it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure 1012 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 2: out why they've done this, right, you can probably safely 1013 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 2: assume it's because they want the Maori ward. But they 1014 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 2: know that if they take it to a referendum, the 1015 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 2: people of Parmeston North may well vote against it and 1016 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 2: then the council will have to give up their Maori ward. 1017 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 2: So no referendum they want. Right, they're wasting their money 1018 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 2: on the lawyers obviously because it's the law, and the 1019 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 2: law says they have to go to a referendum and 1020 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 2: give the people a say, And what's going to happen 1021 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 2: here is the lawyers are just going to take their 1022 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 2: money and say, nah, you got to do the referendums anyway. 1023 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 2: Good like wasting the people's money. But by doing this, 1024 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 2: Palmeston North has done me a mass of favor because 1025 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 2: they've proved the point that I have been trying to 1026 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 2: make for ages, which is that this debate is actually 1027 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 2: about democracy. If the people of Parmeston North want a 1028 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 2: Maori Maori ward, then let them vote for it. But 1029 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,399 Speaker 2: if the people of Parmeston North don't want a Marori woard, 1030 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 2: then the war then the council cannot and should not 1031 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 2: force it on them by denying them the right to 1032 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 2: vote on it. Right, most local body voters don't seem 1033 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 2: to want this, just judging by past votes on it. 1034 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 2: They seem to throw it out every single time. And 1035 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,400 Speaker 2: my problem, and look to be fair, it's not just 1036 00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 2: my problem, plenty of other people's problem as well. Is 1037 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 2: Nanaimahuta took that referendum say away from local body voters. 1038 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 2: She explicitly removed the right to actually say no in 1039 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 2: a referendum. She took the democracy away. She forced on 1040 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 2: people something that they may not want, and, judging by history, 1041 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,240 Speaker 2: something they probably don't want because apparently democracy just doesn't 1042 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 2: work for her anymore. So thank you to Parmeston or 1043 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 2: City Council for so transparently trying to circumvent that democracy 1044 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,320 Speaker 2: and the law, because they have just become the example 1045 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 2: of exactly the thing that we said was wrong with 1046 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 2: Nanaia's marty Ward system. 1047 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 13: So thank you, Heather duper cl Okay, So the. 1048 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:42,720 Speaker 2: Situation with the art tete, I'm still if Kiwi Railer's listening, 1049 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,320 Speaker 2: I'm just still nothing in the mbox yep, still waiting. 1050 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 2: Have been waiting for a little while, so we'll just 1051 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 2: keep waiting. 1052 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 14: I have been. 1053 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 2: Someone has reached out to tell us to try to 1054 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 2: explain a little bit of what sime and Brown said 1055 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 2: last night.

But 1116 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 21: I mean, are you in Wellington? 1117 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 17: I'm not in Wellington, but looking at see looking at 1118 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 17: the met Service for yesterday, it looks like gusts of 1119 00:51:55,120 --> 00:52:00,400 Speaker 17: up to seventy two kph about three pm Yesterday's. 1120 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: Where is that? 1121 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 20: Kelburn? 1122 00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 2: I believe Kelburn okay, because we've had like, honestly, Troy yesterday, 1123 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 2: we had texts from everybody, including speaking to a city council. 1124 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 2: He was like, no, there's no wind out there, eight 1125 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 2: miles per hour like nothing. It was still the harbor 1126 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,799 Speaker 2: was glassy. Where does Surely if there's a wind that's 1127 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,439 Speaker 2: big enough, like a gust that's big enough to push 1128 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 2: a ship into a drawbridge, it's got to be a 1129 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 2: biggish one. 1130 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: Doesn't it. 1131 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, I mean again, that's that's the fact that 1132 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 21: we're investigating. I would just say, you know, a vessel 1133 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 21: of that size, if it does get hit by a 1134 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 21: by wind, you know, alongside broadside, that the effect of 1135 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 21: that will be increased significantly. 1136 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,359 Speaker 4: Okay's with a sail. 1137 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 21: But I'd just also like to point out, you know, 1138 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 21: it's a relief that no one was injured. I understand 1139 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:59,239 Speaker 21: the passengers were able to leave the vessel about an 1140 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 21: hour after the event, So it's that's a great relation 1141 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 21: to everyone involved that it wasn't as bad as perhaps 1142 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 21: it may have otherwise have been. 1143 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 2: So Troy, how are the crew feeling about this, because, yeah, 1144 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 2: their reputations don't don't feel awesome at the moment. 1145 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,319 Speaker 21: Yeah, And you know, obviously we're acting for the crew, 1146 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 21: so their their interests are first and foremost in our minds. 1147 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 21: There are concerns speaking with the crew, there are concerns 1148 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,279 Speaker 21: just generally about how how things have gone over the 1149 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 21: last couple of months. 1150 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 14: I mean, it's you know, I. 1151 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 21: Will allow you to to draw whatever inferences you like 1152 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 21: from that, but we're just advocate for the interests of 1153 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 21: the crew. 1154 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 2: Was the same crew who were on board when they 1155 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:49,359 Speaker 2: drove it into the beach. 1156 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 21: I'm still getting getting a full crew list there, but 1157 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 21: I believe not. 1158 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 2: Oh so the guy that you spoke to about this 1159 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,320 Speaker 2: incident was on it last time, I don't believe. 1160 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:03,440 Speaker 8: So. 1161 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank god, Although on the that's on on 1162 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 2: the bad side, it does mean that we have lots 1163 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 2: of crew who are doing this rather. 1164 00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:11,520 Speaker 13: Than just a few. 1165 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 21: Well, as I said, the investigations ongoing, so it's it's 1166 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 21: a little soon for us to jump to conclusions as 1167 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 21: to crewe involvement in the event. But hopefully, you know, 1168 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,239 Speaker 21: as the investigation got carries on and more facts come 1169 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 21: to light, we'll. 1170 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:30,920 Speaker 13: Get into the bottleroy. 1171 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 2: Obviously crew were involved, right, the boat was under manual steering, right. 1172 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 4: That that is true. 1173 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:39,839 Speaker 21: You know, obviously at that point there was a hand 1174 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 21: steering issue. 1175 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,279 Speaker 2: So it's an entirely scenario that whoever was holding on 1176 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,400 Speaker 2: to it, he was steering, just drove it into the drawbadge. 1177 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 21: Again, it's too too soon to come to that conclusion, 1178 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 21: but I suspect that there are a number of external 1179 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 21: factors of player as well, like which. 1180 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:06,200 Speaker 2: Don't say wind, what else weather? Oh, stop it, okay, Troy, 1181 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,359 Speaker 2: that breeze all right, Troy, thank you very much, Troy 1182 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,959 Speaker 2: stayed maritime lawyer. There wasn't any wind, but we thought 1183 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 2: there was because it's Wellington, right, so we bought that 1184 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 2: for a minute. Eighteen away from six. 1185 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: The Friday sports Huddle with New Zealand Southeast International Realty, 1186 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,840 Speaker 1: exceptional marketing for every property. 1187 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 21: And there it is Michael Wilkinson Erica Dawson crossed the line. 1188 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 1: It's another medal. 1189 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,439 Speaker 17: The New Zealand's off mar Saint at Paris twenty twenty four. 1190 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 1: The black boat keeping its nose in front of Germany. 1191 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 16: They can see the finish line. 1192 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,360 Speaker 2: It is gold for New Zealand. 1193 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 5: Gold at Lease Andrews intense insightsive invincible. 1194 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 16: Max Brown and Grant Clancy. They have finished last. 1195 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 10: They were so far behind the action I lost its 1196 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 10: complete side of. 1197 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 2: Them on the sports title. That's this even who got 1198 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 2: Nicky steyras sports journalists and Jim k sports journalists as well? 1199 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 2: How are you two, Nikki? Do you reckon? The canoe 1200 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 2: boys have redeemed themselves because they actually didn't do too 1201 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 2: badly in the kayaking. 1202 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,200 Speaker 11: Well, look, I'm a fat believer and you play by 1203 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 11: the roles, and they played by the rules, So you know, 1204 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 11: I think that if anyone complains about it, then they 1205 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 11: need to go back and say to you know, the 1206 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:32,759 Speaker 11: canoe organizing body, well, don't allow these loopholes. I think 1207 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 11: what they did was they did vindicate themselves. I mean, yes, 1208 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,319 Speaker 11: they got last in the final, but they made an 1209 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 11: a final and what they were two seconds of the pace, 1210 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,400 Speaker 11: So I think they did vindicate themselves. But I can 1211 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 11: sort of understand why people are a little bit upset 1212 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 11: about it, particularly since they obviously targeted that cape or 1213 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,800 Speaker 11: group and you know, I k one guy and this 1214 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,240 Speaker 11: is out who potentially could have gone to the Olympics 1215 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,879 Speaker 11: and done well. So yeah, that's a tricky one. 1216 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:00,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, m what do you reckon of that? 1217 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 20: No, it doesn't sit very well for me. I don't 1218 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,359 Speaker 20: think it's really TV way. If if there's such a thing, 1219 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,920 Speaker 20: you know, it's up there with Eric the Eel, it 1220 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 20: is the eagle. I think they I think they embarrassed. 1221 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,960 Speaker 4: Themselves on these two examples. 1222 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 2: You know, these two examples that you've cited are people 1223 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 2: who are actually doing crappily as they chosen one. 1224 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 20: Right, actually did Okay, look I don't blame the athlete. 1225 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 20: I blame Canoe New Zealand. I think they deliberately exploited 1226 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 20: the loophole on the Rulls to get an extra boat 1227 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 20: to the Olympics. And it just doesn't sit very well either. 1228 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:46,440 Speaker 20: He came out, you know, opinion, I'm giving it, I'm right, 1229 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 20: or you're right. I'm just giving back. 1230 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 2: We're loving your opinion. But then we're laughing at your opinion. 1231 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,280 Speaker 20: But that's okay, laugh at my opinion too, because I 1232 00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:53,959 Speaker 20: laughed at yours. 1233 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 11: I'll go I'll go live in Australia because that's how 1234 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 11: the Australians would do it. 1235 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 20: That's right, an underarm to New Zealander. I don't think 1236 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 20: that's the way that we shim sport. 1237 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,600 Speaker 2: This is why we need to harden up. I mean, 1238 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 2: we're always talking about how we play fair and stuff 1239 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,120 Speaker 2: and we don't sledge and all that kind of nonsense. 1240 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 2: But you've got to do what it takes to win. 1241 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 2: And if that's what it takes, they do it. 1242 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 20: Are very different things. I think you're conflating two things 1243 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 20: to come up with one. Okay, to an organization that 1244 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 20: a national body who deliberately set out to. 1245 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:32,920 Speaker 14: Exploit a loophole and the rules. 1246 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 20: I think when you're when you're doing whatever, you play 1247 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,800 Speaker 20: as hard as you can to win. Absolutely, But I 1248 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,439 Speaker 20: don't think it's a good look for a national body 1249 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 20: to do what they did. 1250 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 2: Okay, alrighty, hey listen Nikki on how we're going to 1251 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,960 Speaker 2: perceive these Olympics. Right, They've had quite a few problems. 1252 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 2: You've got the model metals degrading. You've got the overcrowded village, 1253 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 2: the lack of air conditioning, the food poisoning making the 1254 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 2: people swim and pooh rivers. Are we going to look 1255 00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:57,960 Speaker 2: back at this and go there was a shambles or 1256 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 2: are they all just a shambles and we forget about 1257 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 2: that over time? 1258 00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 11: Look, I think they're all the shambles. I think you've 1259 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 11: got to remember you've got, you know, over ten thousand athletes. 1260 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,440 Speaker 11: They're all crammed in a village, a lot of them 1261 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 11: where it's basically a scientific Petrie dish. You know you're 1262 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,280 Speaker 11: going to catch things, you're going to get food poisoning, 1263 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,240 Speaker 11: and you're putting out sixty thousand meals each day. What 1264 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 11: I do have a problem with is won the medals, 1265 00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:28,400 Speaker 11: because that is your everlasting treasure from something you worked 1266 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 11: incredibly hard for, and I think it's not acceptable that 1267 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 11: they are deteriorating. And the other thing is the saying, well, 1268 00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 11: you know, it's been illegal to simon that thing for 1269 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 11: over one hundred years, so it was never really a 1270 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,520 Speaker 11: good look to let them in there. Of course, we 1271 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 11: know why they did it, because you know, it's all 1272 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,440 Speaker 11: about optics and you want them, you know, you want 1273 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 11: to be showing powers to the world, and that was 1274 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 11: the way to do that. Unfortunately they did it at 1275 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 11: the peril of the athletes, which I don't really agree with. 1276 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 11: But on the whole, I don't think we will look 1277 00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 11: back at it as the shambles. 1278 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, I want your take on it. We'll get 1279 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:02,920 Speaker 2: it very shortly fourteen away from six. 1280 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,800 Speaker 1: The Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty, 1281 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Unparalleled Reach and Results. 1282 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 2: Back with the Huddle, Jim Kay's and Nicky Styrus, Right, Jim, 1283 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,920 Speaker 2: what do you reckon? Are these Olympics particularly as shambles 1284 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 2: or just the standard level of shambles? 1285 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think you're a standard level. I did agree 1286 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 20: with most of what Nicky said there, you know, like, yeah, 1287 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 20: the river saying it is disgusting and I wouldn't want 1288 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,960 Speaker 20: to swimming it and it looked revolting as they every 1289 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 20: time they dived in. But you know, people get sick 1290 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 20: when there's ten thousand of them, and people complain about beds. 1291 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 20: We all complain about a bed when you go to 1292 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 20: hotel room in general. Though, I've really enjoyed it. I've 1293 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 20: you know, watching it on Telly, the smallest port on Sky. 1294 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 20: It's just been it's been awesome, I think, and you know, 1295 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 20: wonderful to see the Kiwi athletes and I think a 1296 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 20: city like Paris on display like that, you know, when 1297 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 20: you have the trifle and they're cycling down the chans 1298 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,880 Speaker 20: of these and you think wow, you know, and through 1299 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:59,240 Speaker 20: the entrance and these sorts of things. I think it's fantastic. 1300 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 20: I still all believe four cities should host the Olympics 1301 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 20: on a rotational basis and then we just get on 1302 01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 20: with it, you know, keep it to just for cities, 1303 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 20: and then you don't have all some of the some 1304 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,320 Speaker 20: of these problems that disappear because they'd have the infrastructure, 1305 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:16,400 Speaker 20: that have the knowledge, they'd have all those sorts of things. 1306 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 20: So that's what I'd love to see. Imagine if it 1307 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 20: was Paris and Athens and pick to other places would 1308 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 20: be awesome. 1309 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a bad idea, is it, Nikki, 1310 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 2: Because then you wouldn't have to relearn all the lessons 1311 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 2: every single link in time. 1312 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1313 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 11: The only problem with that is the cough to run 1314 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,640 Speaker 11: it or the amount of money that you actually gained 1315 01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 11: from it. So you might find that some of the 1316 01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 11: politics might get. 1317 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 21: Involved in that and that decision and be like, but 1318 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 21: it do it? 1319 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 4: We want the tourists, you know. 1320 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 11: So yeah, that might be a little bit simplistic, but 1321 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 11: I do and cre what a spectacle that would be. 1322 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Now, Jim, have you got to the bottom 1323 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 2: of yourself of whether this Algerian boxer should be boxing 1324 01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 2: against women or not? 1325 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 20: She's a woman, Yeah, but she's apparently well yeah, but 1326 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,600 Speaker 20: so I've done a lot of reading on it today. 1327 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 20: She's a woman, she was born a girl, grub to 1328 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,680 Speaker 20: be a woman. Yes, she's got some different genetics. But 1329 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,280 Speaker 20: if we look at athletics, and if you if you 1330 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 20: look at athletics in a really simple way, lots of 1331 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 20: people have different genetics. There are tall basketballers, there are 1332 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:18,320 Speaker 20: fast sprinters. 1333 01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 2: There that's true. 1334 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:24,000 Speaker 20: That's true, but she has a genetic difference. 1335 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,920 Speaker 2: In your reading gym. Have you got to the bottom 1336 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 2: of weather an X and a Y chromosome for a 1337 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,920 Speaker 2: woman therefore makes her intersex. 1338 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 20: Look I think doesn't. 1339 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:37,880 Speaker 2: Nikki doesn't because that's what. 1340 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:38,640 Speaker 20: I thought it was. 1341 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 2: Nik is that what's up here. 1342 01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 20: Transit. 1343 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 2: But the IOC can be well, that's two different things. 1344 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 2: IOC can shut up on that. In the minut I 1345 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:47,400 Speaker 2: want to hear what Nick is? 1346 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:47,920 Speaker 13: You know? 1347 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:48,120 Speaker 21: What? 1348 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:49,120 Speaker 3: Do you know? What I know? 1349 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,720 Speaker 11: I strip it back even further than that, because basically 1350 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,400 Speaker 11: it's not about these boxes. What it's about is the 1351 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 11: fact that there's not enough facts around it, and it's 1352 01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 11: not enough transfer, and there's not enough information, and there's 1353 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 11: not enough clear definitive rule. If that was all clear 1354 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 11: and transparent, then you wouldn't be in this mess. The 1355 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 11: reason that the problem is is because they don't have 1356 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 11: the same test, they don't have the same organization deciding 1357 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 11: watch tests. They're not publishing those tests. So therefore, you know, 1358 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 11: there's a whole lot of great area that no one 1359 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,560 Speaker 11: knows what's going on. I feel sorry for the boxes 1360 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,439 Speaker 11: because one minute they're told they can't the next minute 1361 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 11: they're in and then you find out some Russian dude 1362 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 11: is in charge of the boxing and that's why they 1363 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,040 Speaker 11: got eliminated there. And what they need to do is 1364 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 11: set out a clear set of rules that's transparent to everybody, 1365 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 11: and everything is published, so then everybody knows where they stand. 1366 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 2: Okay, right, I think we've got to the bottom of it. 1367 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 2: Maybe guys, both of you, thank you so much, go 1368 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 2: and enjoy the all Blacks this weekend, enjoy the last 1369 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,920 Speaker 2: of the Olympics. I really appreciate your time, Nicky Styrus 1370 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 2: and Jim k sports journalists, and I'm gonna just let's 1371 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 2: get back to this because I think Nicky's just touched 1372 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 2: on something really important there seven away from six on your. 1373 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,920 Speaker 1: Smart speaker, iHeart app and in your car on your 1374 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,240 Speaker 1: drive home Heather Duplic Allen drive with one New Zealand 1375 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 1: one giant leap for business used talk as that. 1376 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 2: Be Okay, what's the time? Five away from six? So 1377 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,000 Speaker 2: I think Nicky was onto something here. Okay, if you 1378 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:21,840 Speaker 2: read about this there is well, let's cut to the chase. Okay. 1379 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 2: So DSD is like a syndrome, a sex difference like 1380 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,560 Speaker 2: some people have some sex differences. Okay, so if you 1381 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 2: have an X and Y chromosome and you're not a man, 1382 01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 2: what you could also be is an intersex person. Now intersex, 1383 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 2: like that's what we back in the old days would 1384 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,760 Speaker 2: have used the term hermaphrodite for, but you don't use 1385 01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:44,760 Speaker 2: it anymore. And it's the I in lgbtqia. Plus that's 1386 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,800 Speaker 2: intersex right there. So X Y chromosome means intersex. What 1387 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,360 Speaker 2: that means is the if this is true and we 1388 01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 2: don't know, this is just what the boxing boys say. 1389 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 2: If she does have an X and Y chromosome, she 1390 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 2: is not transgender because she's not a man pretending to 1391 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,880 Speaker 2: be a woman. She's also not a man, but she's 1392 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:07,440 Speaker 2: also not strictly a woman. She is intersex identifying as 1393 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,800 Speaker 2: a woman. Now then we raise the question of okay, 1394 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 2: what should the rules around this be. How do we 1395 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 2: feel like this is caster Semenya all over again? Right, 1396 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,560 Speaker 2: because castera Semenya is apparently intersex, So now we get 1397 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:25,280 Speaker 2: we raise the question should intersex people compete against women 1398 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:30,320 Speaker 2: or should they compete against men? So there's a question 1399 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 2: that the IOC may need to deal with in all 1400 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 2: the sporting bodies. But now strip back even further. The 1401 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 2: test that apparently says that she's got an X and 1402 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,720 Speaker 2: Y chromosome is coming from a bunch of dodgy guys 1403 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 2: who have links to the Kremlin. So hmm, are we 1404 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 2: sure about that? So did the IOC, goes No, we 1405 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 2: don't believe that test. But did they do their own test? 1406 01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,160 Speaker 2: No they didn't. So, as Nikki says, we're operating in 1407 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 2: a gray zone of only having this allegation but the 1408 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,600 Speaker 2: IOC not disproving the allegation. Maybe she does have X 1409 01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,960 Speaker 2: Y chromosomes. Maybe the IOC does its own test one 1410 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:02,680 Speaker 2: day and finds that, in fact, she's got double X 1411 01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 2: and shares a woman and all of this was just 1412 01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 2: a storm in a teacup. And then and then quite 1413 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,080 Speaker 2: apart from that, what are the rules around testing? Who 1414 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 2: do they test? Should the IOC test like this? All 1415 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,200 Speaker 2: this is really a bureaucratic bungle going on right here. 1416 01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,440 Speaker 5: But the IO a lot more to it than just 1417 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:18,479 Speaker 5: punching people in the face. 1418 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 2: I wish it was just punching people in the face, 1419 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,520 Speaker 2: because that would be simple. The IOC is not covering 1420 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,800 Speaker 2: itself in glory here because they're just going la la 1421 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 2: la la la la la la la. We don't want 1422 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 2: to have to deal with it. And the IBA is 1423 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,240 Speaker 2: not covering itself in glory because they're mates with Putin 1424 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,800 Speaker 2: and nobody likes that. Wayne Brown's with us next NEWSTALGSB. 1425 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,080 Speaker 1: What's up, what's down?

AT 1436 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 2: was made independent from the council years ago to try 1437 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 2: to take the politics out of transport, but now the 1438 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 2: public just loads the agency, possibly even more. Let's talk 1439 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,680 Speaker 2: to Wayne Brain, Wayne Brown High, Wayne, Yeah, how'd the 1440 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:26,800 Speaker 2: boss of AT take this? 1441 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 21: The chairs not a bit grumpy with me, but he'll 1442 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 21: lean deliver that. Why is the chair grumpy, Well, it's 1443 01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 21: us asking that. I think they feel that I'm kind 1444 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 21: of attacking them, but I'm not. Really. What I'm doing 1445 01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 21: is defending Auckland. Yeah, I'm here for the right players 1446 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,400 Speaker 21: of Auckland, then to fix Orckland. That's what drives me. 1447 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,640 Speaker 2: Yeh, Look is this simple? I mean, is this just 1448 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 2: a case of you just need your counsel to agree 1449 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 2: at comes back under the politician's control or is it 1450 01:07:58,600 --> 01:07:59,480 Speaker 2: more complicated than that? 1451 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,439 Speaker 21: Well, even just getting my councils agree with talk about 1452 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 21: of work. But they've all agreed that the CEOs. I 1453 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 21: did see amongst the five things I stood for, stop 1454 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,120 Speaker 21: wasting money. But number two is get back control of 1455 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 21: the CEOs because the only control we have is selecting 1456 01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,160 Speaker 21: board numbers and I'm only twenties of the votes for 1457 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 21: that and that just isn't enough control at all. And 1458 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 21: I'm sick of being blamed for things I don't control. 1459 01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:27,720 Speaker 21: And it's not just at of course that the mean 1460 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 21: there's been a few embarrassments from Iquy Perucu, and from 1461 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,720 Speaker 21: Tara Taki, and from not so much from all we've 1462 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 21: solved water care, and we've got ports of work into 1463 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 21: stop being and not for profit and actually make some money. 1464 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 21: So those ones are kind of solved, but the other 1465 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,559 Speaker 21: two needs something or other. We can as a council 1466 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:50,640 Speaker 21: get back more control of a of Ekey, Pernuga and 1467 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 21: Tartaki than we have and so get going with that anyhow, 1468 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,560 Speaker 21: And the chairs of those ones are not opposed to 1469 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 21: at has had a twelve years of complete independence, to 1470 01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:07,640 Speaker 21: the point of just almost we're a nuisance rather than 1471 01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 21: the owner and listening, but not as much as I'd like. 1472 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 21: But they were set up by Rodney id and Stephen Jewish, 1473 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 21: who wanted to say that they didn't like the idea 1474 01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,759 Speaker 21: of elected officials having any to do with making policies 1475 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 21: about transport. The public think that we're in charge and 1476 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 21: expect that we're in charge. And you know, I've built roads, 1477 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 21: owned roads, bought roads, and sold roads, and designed roads, 1478 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,519 Speaker 21: so I know a lot about it. Now I'm annoyed 1479 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,880 Speaker 21: to find that the board don't know as much about 1480 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 21: that sort of stuff, you know. 1481 01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I can't blame Stephen Joyce and those guys 1482 01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 2: for going down this path, because you would think that 1483 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 2: the experts would actually be half decent to their jobs. 1484 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 2: And this has been the surprise of this experiment. Isn't 1485 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 2: it that the experts are so bad at the job. 1486 01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 21: It doesn't surprise me at all. They swallowed that school 1487 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,880 Speaker 21: aid from the institutive directors are having nice boards of 1488 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 21: balanced racial and gender neutrality and all its stuff, and 1489 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 21: most event them being accounts and lawyers. Somehow they helps. 1490 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,720 Speaker 21: I had to step in to fix Vector because they 1491 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,360 Speaker 21: did that transper, because they did that Aughan Hospital. Because 1492 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 21: they did that. It doesn't work. You need to have 1493 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,799 Speaker 21: people who understand the business first and foremost. 1494 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:26,280 Speaker 2: Now I mean, do you reckon though it will necessarily 1495 01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,880 Speaker 2: improve things, because for example, if you were comparing ourselves 1496 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,439 Speaker 2: with Wellington, by ourselves, I mean Auckland. In Wellington, the 1497 01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:37,120 Speaker 2: transport there is controlled by the politicians, is still pretty rubbish. 1498 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,839 Speaker 21: I shouldn't be compared to Willing because mayor of Wellington 1499 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 21: is the mayor of a suburb of Wellington, and there 1500 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:51,000 Speaker 21: are several mayors in Wellington, and there's regional councils and 1501 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,800 Speaker 21: there's all sorts of shambles. Auckland is completely different. Is 1502 01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:00,639 Speaker 21: it's a regional government really and I'm restoring the manner 1503 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,480 Speaker 21: of the mayoralties that was lost by the two predecessors. 1504 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 2: No, not fear enough. I didn't get to the bottom 1505 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,679 Speaker 2: of it. So is it a simple decision for counsel 1506 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 2: to make rebringing Auckland transport back under your control? Or 1507 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:12,840 Speaker 2: do you need the government's help? 1508 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 21: Oh? I need the government's help with this. And do 1509 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 21: they have to legislate, Yes, but that's not an an 1510 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 21: awful amount. They're going to have to legislate for quite 1511 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:22,840 Speaker 21: a lot of things that we've got untangled. 1512 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,720 Speaker 2: You've had a fight with Simeon Brown. Is he going 1513 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 2: to want to help you? 1514 01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:28,640 Speaker 21: Well, I've had a fight with sim so I mean 1515 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 21: I get I'm pretty good. Where did you think we 1516 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:30,599 Speaker 21: had a fight? 1517 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,639 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, come on the way you've been having 1518 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 2: fights about about the bus linker of all kinds of stuff. 1519 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 21: None at all. Simeon and I work very well together. 1520 01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,679 Speaker 21: That's a beat up from the press. 1521 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,719 Speaker 2: Did you not pack a tantrum about losing the regional fuel. 1522 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,080 Speaker 21: Tax I didn't pack a tantrum. I simply pointed out 1523 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,599 Speaker 21: that that's their right to do that, but it leaves 1524 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,639 Speaker 21: a sort of money to do things. 1525 01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:54,320 Speaker 2: So we'll just do this, okay, So I'll take you 1526 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,080 Speaker 2: at your words. So Simeon's going to help you on 1527 01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:56,479 Speaker 2: this one. 1528 01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 21: I'm sure you will. You know, absolutely, he's very much 1529 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,720 Speaker 21: in support of this. I'm sure. The other thing is 1530 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 21: that Auckland changed the government. You know, if Aukland had 1531 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 21: voted like the rest of New Zealand, we have a 1532 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,320 Speaker 21: Lober government. But Auckland didn't. Auckland voted for National and 1533 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,880 Speaker 21: so they've got to keep looking after aucan we looked 1534 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,800 Speaker 21: after them. That's a good relationship. I've got a good relationships. 1535 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 21: I mean, I've got a very good relationship with Bishop 1536 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:24,960 Speaker 21: and with the Prime Minister. So no, no, they're on here. 1537 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:25,760 Speaker 21: We're going to fight. 1538 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,479 Speaker 2: Good luck of being able to do this. I think 1539 01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:30,679 Speaker 2: we'll want to see you when score some points against 1540 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 2: Auckland Transport. That's Wayne Brown, Auckland's mayor. Barrysope is going 1541 01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:36,960 Speaker 2: to be Thus shortly we'll cover off the week that 1542 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:42,680 Speaker 2: was contrary facts, alternative facts on the wind yesterday when 1543 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,080 Speaker 2: the inter Islander was coming into birth here that I 1544 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,719 Speaker 2: was driving a double decker bus on the Wellington Motorway 1545 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,280 Speaker 2: past the Ferry terminal yesterday around two to three, it 1546 01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:55,080 Speaker 2: was very gusty and coming more north than usual.

We've got to get through politics of the 1557 01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 2: week though, So Barry Soper, senior political cook, let me 1558 01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 2: try this in so wrapping the political week that was 1559 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 2: our senior political correspondent, Barry Sober. Welcome back, Barry, Hello again. 1560 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,360 Speaker 2: Have that Barry. This energy crisis is really quite serious. 1561 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:39,880 Speaker 2: I can't see any way that we're going to get 1562 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,559 Speaker 2: out of this in a in a quick way. 1563 01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:41,880 Speaker 1: No. 1564 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:46,760 Speaker 16: Unfortunately, you know, you've got hundreds of people waiting to 1565 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,519 Speaker 16: see if they're going to have a job. But next week, 1566 01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:54,880 Speaker 16: maybe it really is a big issue. And the politicians, 1567 01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 16: even though they make a lot of noise, they do 1568 01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 16: have a lot of power when it comes to Gen 1569 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:05,679 Speaker 16: Tayler's in this country. I mean there's the electricity retailers essentially, 1570 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,760 Speaker 16: and Simmy and Brown had the four big ones into 1571 01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:13,000 Speaker 16: his office this week talk to them about it. Nikola 1572 01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:17,559 Speaker 16: Willis has made very disparaging remarks about the Gen Taylor's 1573 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,240 Speaker 16: in this country. Shane Jones and Winston Peters have gone 1574 01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,760 Speaker 16: even further. Winston Peters says their profitearing well. The fact 1575 01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:29,439 Speaker 16: is that the major Gen Taylor's in this country government, 1576 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,439 Speaker 16: the majority a government owned so well well, the government 1577 01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:37,120 Speaker 16: can talk to them with much more authority than it 1578 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 16: could talk to, for example, to the banks. 1579 01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 2: M Barry, you will never have a majority shareholder going 1580 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 2: to them and saying. 1581 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 16: Prices can you make? 1582 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,519 Speaker 2: Can you imagine what that would do to the like? 1583 01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 2: Imagine what that would do to the forty nine percent 1584 01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,519 Speaker 2: of investors, the minority investors like me and you and 1585 01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,640 Speaker 2: everybody else who's got shares. It's too risky that. 1586 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 16: The alternative here there is that you know, you've got 1587 01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,960 Speaker 16: the lights going out around the country, people paying massive 1588 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 16: power bills, and many many people losing their jobs. That's 1589 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 16: the alternative, and sometimes you have to take a hit 1590 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,920 Speaker 16: it's not to justify risk. 1591 01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,599 Speaker 2: That the investment risk that you would create as a government, 1592 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,599 Speaker 2: you basically turn us into a crazy third world banana republic. 1593 01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:27,000 Speaker 7: Well we're going to become that if we. 1594 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 2: We have got regulatory mechanisms available to the government to 1595 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,439 Speaker 2: actually deal with this in a proper way. That's the 1596 01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,000 Speaker 2: first thing. The second thing is, do not get sucked 1597 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 2: berry into believing the gent tailors. Yes, do not get 1598 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 2: sucked into believing the gent tailors are the biggest problem 1599 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 2: with the energy crisis. It is asking them to drop 1600 01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:47,759 Speaker 2: their prices. 1601 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:48,960 Speaker 1: Is only the weather. 1602 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,000 Speaker 16: The weather is a major issue. 1603 01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,759 Speaker 2: And shortage of gas is the problem. 1604 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:53,880 Speaker 7: Well, yes, I know. 1605 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 16: I mean if you want to talk politically, of course, it. 1606 01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 2: Is not politically literally that is the problem. 1607 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,920 Speaker 16: Hang on, it's politically as well, because when you look 1608 01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:06,560 Speaker 16: at the politics of this, you say, well, no, hang on, 1609 01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:10,000 Speaker 16: it was the Labor One of the first actions of 1610 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 16: the Labor led government was to stop oil and gas 1611 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,040 Speaker 16: exploration in this country. Now, what they have to do, 1612 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,480 Speaker 16: the Labor Party, that is, is, if we're talking politics, 1613 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,599 Speaker 16: come to the table and say that, look, we will 1614 01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:30,479 Speaker 16: they need to negotiate that and say right, we're prepared 1615 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:35,160 Speaker 16: to allow oil and gas exploration again in this country. 1616 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,679 Speaker 16: And what that does is send an indication to anyone 1617 01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,799 Speaker 16: that may be holding back from investing here again. 1618 01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:43,719 Speaker 13: Go ahead. 1619 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:45,600 Speaker 2: Guess all I'm trying to say to you is that 1620 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,760 Speaker 2: Nicola Willis and Shane Jones and all of these guys 1621 01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 2: and Winston can go as hard as they like on 1622 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,560 Speaker 2: the gent tailors, but they will only be moving the 1623 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 2: dial a little bit when you need more gas in 1624 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:54,840 Speaker 2: the camps. 1625 01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 16: I'm talking about simply his power. They have more power 1626 01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,760 Speaker 16: than they have over there tricity gent tailors than they do, 1627 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 16: for example, over the Bank Party, well over the banks, 1628 01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,400 Speaker 16: and they've certainly got no power Labour Party. 1629 01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:09,720 Speaker 2: Nobody's got any power over the Labor Party otherwise would 1630 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,800 Speaker 2: sort them out. Hey, So John Key, we start the 1631 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,040 Speaker 2: week with John Key telling us all to turn down 1632 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 2: the temperature on the race relations, and then we have 1633 01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:20,040 Speaker 2: one of the wildest weeks in race relations in a while. 1634 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:20,800 Speaker 2: That didn't work, did it. 1635 01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,160 Speaker 16: It didn't work at all. It was quite the opposite. 1636 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:27,840 Speaker 16: And you've got to say it wasn't necessarily the government's fault. 1637 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:33,200 Speaker 16: It was those in Parliament. Although you could point the 1638 01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:36,720 Speaker 16: finger as you have done Philly Squeally at Paul Goldsmith, 1639 01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:41,880 Speaker 16: the Minister of Arts and Culture, for changing Maori signage 1640 01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 16: in a letter that you sent to an Australian minister. 1641 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 2: That's small. The Maori Party are worse. 1642 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,479 Speaker 16: Well okay, no, no, absolutely, well, I'm just starting with 1643 01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:54,679 Speaker 16: that you're building out. It's the minor transgression, the major one, 1644 01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:59,719 Speaker 16: and I'm absolutely astounded that the so called mainstream media 1645 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:04,280 Speaker 16: haven't really touched on it. And that's Debbie Nawa Packer's 1646 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,960 Speaker 16: speech to Parliament and the General Debate this week. It 1647 01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,400 Speaker 16: was nothing short of disgraceful in my view, and the 1648 01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,519 Speaker 16: words she used and in fact what she did really 1649 01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 16: was called Winston Peters a psychopath. She said the government 1650 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:24,160 Speaker 16: is being led by a Macavelian, which were led to 1651 01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 16: assume that's Chris Hepkins by us Luxeon's well cap fits, Yeah, 1652 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:38,040 Speaker 16: well Chris Luxon and then the psychopath Winston Peters, and 1653 01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:39,679 Speaker 16: then a narcissist. 1654 01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:42,080 Speaker 7: What's his name? 1655 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:46,920 Speaker 2: When he's the narcissist? 1656 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 1: Well, and. 1657 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 13: Well don't you think don't you. 1658 01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:54,320 Speaker 16: Go down that track as well? 1659 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:55,360 Speaker 1: Now? 1660 01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 16: But you've gone down a track that you shouldn't really 1661 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:01,160 Speaker 16: be going down because it's the the way she delivered it, 1662 01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 16: and saying that there was something big that she's not 1663 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 16: telling us about is on the way. Well, whether it's 1664 01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,560 Speaker 16: arm again or not, we're not quite sure, but I 1665 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 16: guarantee it'll be something like the Foreshore and c Beard issue, 1666 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 16: and that of course is being fought in the courts 1667 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:20,080 Speaker 16: at the moment, and that could again rare a taggly head. 1668 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 16: But I'll tell you what, the last Foreshore and Seabe debate, 1669 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,599 Speaker 16: when legislation was passed under the Clerk government, was never 1670 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 16: as nasty and vociferous as what's being said. 1671 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 7: At the moment. 1672 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:34,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably fair. Hey, Barry, thank you very much. 1673 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,920 Speaker 2: I appreciated very so for senior political correspondent rapping the 1674 01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 2: political week.

It's Heather 1677 01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,240 Speaker 1: due for see Ellen with the business hours. Thanks to 1678 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:53,720 Speaker 1: my HR, the HR platform for SME on us talksb. 1679 01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 2: Right, here's you dot for six twenty five. By the way, 1680 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,840 Speaker 2: here's your darling Tanner and update. Her husband's been in 1681 01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 2: court today, so completely unrelated to everything else. Spatter geez, 1682 01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,920 Speaker 2: when it goes badly a it's like when it rains 1683 01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:10,479 Speaker 2: at pause. So Christian is in court today because he 1684 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,040 Speaker 2: hasn't paid four three hundred and eighty five dollars worth 1685 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:18,280 Speaker 2: of parking fines. Now, just stop and appreciate how much 1686 01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,000 Speaker 2: that is in parking fines. I mean, what's the worst 1687 01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 2: you get in parking fines at the moment? It's like 1688 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 2: forty bucks? 1689 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:24,840 Speaker 3: Do you get more than that? 1690 01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:27,880 Speaker 2: Do you get sixty bucks? Do you get eighty bucks? 1691 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,519 Speaker 2: I don't know as a hell of a lot of 1692 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,559 Speaker 2: whatever to add up to four three hundred and eighty 1693 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,160 Speaker 2: five dollars worth of parking fines. You didn't just forget 1694 01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,880 Speaker 2: one bill, did you, mate, you forgot multiple You just 1695 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:39,800 Speaker 2: didn't pay them, did you? And you let them rack 1696 01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,320 Speaker 2: up anyway. So he went in today and he tried 1697 01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,519 Speaker 2: to defend himself in the Auckland District Court. He said 1698 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,040 Speaker 2: he doesn't understand why he should be held liable for 1699 01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:51,040 Speaker 2: the parking fines because in fact, it was often sometimes 1700 01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:53,880 Speaker 2: employees of his who were using the vehicles who were 1701 01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:55,680 Speaker 2: racking up the parking fines in the first place. Of 1702 01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 2: why should he have Well, because he's the boss of 1703 01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 2: the company, I suppose, so he said it couldn't pay 1704 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,360 Speaker 2: the fines, so as a result, he was ordered to 1705 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:05,640 Speaker 2: do eighty hours worth of community service. Afterwards, obviously the 1706 01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:07,519 Speaker 2: Heralds caught up with him and he spilled the tea. 1707 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,519 Speaker 2: He said he's very good at riding a bike, but 1708 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,000 Speaker 2: not so good at defending himself in court, which I 1709 01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,080 Speaker 2: think what he means is he ended up having to 1710 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:16,840 Speaker 2: do the community service, so it can't have been very 1711 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:20,720 Speaker 2: good at defending himself. He said he's approaching bankruptcy, which 1712 01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:22,479 Speaker 2: I suppose is the reason why he can't pay the 1713 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,120 Speaker 2: parking fines, and to that I have some sympathy for him. 1714 01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,639 Speaker 2: That would be awful. Also, he has broken up with Darlene. 1715 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,680 Speaker 2: He says the situation that they find themselves in has 1716 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:36,560 Speaker 2: romantically made it impossible we still have dinner now. That 1717 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 2: to me is surprising, because just the other day, what 1718 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:39,719 Speaker 2: was Darlene saying? 1719 01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,760 Speaker 8: I am married to my husband for better or for worse? 1720 01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 1: Was she? Though? Had they? 1721 01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:50,919 Speaker 2: How long ago did she say that? Laura the producer, 1722 01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:54,000 Speaker 2: it was two weeks ago, because I was here. It 1723 01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,160 Speaker 2: was before I went on my other holiday, my second holiday, 1724 01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,240 Speaker 2: so two weeks ago she was saying out loud to 1725 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:00,240 Speaker 2: the cameras. 1726 01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 21: I am married to my husband for better or for. 1727 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,000 Speaker 2: And then two weeks later he's like, no, we're broken up. 1728 01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:07,840 Speaker 2: So anyway, that's interesting, isn't it. 1729 01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 22: Headline's next, whether it's macro micro or just plain economics, 1730 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,960 Speaker 22: it's all on the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, Allen 1731 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 22: and my HR, the HR platform for SME used talks 1732 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:24,160 Speaker 22: it'd be. 1733 01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:38,280 Speaker 23: Nice, well me, you can seek in about ten minutes time. 1734 01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,799 Speaker 2: I might have been a little unfair on Christian hoff Nielsen, 1735 01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:46,880 Speaker 2: the estranged husband of Darlene Tarnica's. It might not have 1736 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,439 Speaker 2: been that he racked up four four hundred dollars worth 1737 01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 2: of parking fines. Well, they did say parking finds, right, 1738 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,439 Speaker 2: so I'm assuming it's parking finds. However, there is always 1739 01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:59,639 Speaker 2: the outside possibility that these do include bus lane finds, 1740 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 2: which can also be incurred for parking in a bus lane. 1741 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,400 Speaker 2: And where the shop is located on the corner of 1742 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 2: Kaiber Pass and Broadway in Newmarket, there is a bus lane, 1743 01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,240 Speaker 2: so in which case, what I'm trying to say is 1744 01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:12,840 Speaker 2: it might not have just been a series of eighty 1745 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,400 Speaker 2: dollar finds that he was racking up. But in fact, 1746 01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,600 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty dollar finds makes it easier to 1747 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:20,120 Speaker 2: get to four thy four hundred, doesn't it. And that's 1748 01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 2: where it ends, because then obviously you're still not paying 1749 01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:24,519 Speaker 2: your fines, mate. And that's the problem here, isn't it. 1750 01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 4: Now. 1751 01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,160 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's going on in South Africa. This 1752 01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,120 Speaker 2: is the controversy in South Africa at the moment. It's 1753 01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:33,600 Speaker 2: about a South African beauty pageant contestant. She's had to 1754 01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,519 Speaker 2: withdraw from the competition because her mum has been accused 1755 01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,080 Speaker 2: of identity theft, which means and the reason she's therefore 1756 01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,200 Speaker 2: had to withdraw from the competition is if the mum 1757 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 2: has nicked identity theft, the mum is originally from Mozambique, 1758 01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,439 Speaker 2: father's from somewhere like Nigeria. If the mum has in 1759 01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,120 Speaker 2: fact nick the identity of a South African woman, what 1760 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,200 Speaker 2: that means is that the mother is not a South 1761 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,439 Speaker 2: African citizen. Therefore, she the contestant, is also not a 1762 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,040 Speaker 2: South African citizen and therefore not eligible to compete in 1763 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 2: in this pageant. This has gripped South Africa for weeks. 1764 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:09,160 Speaker 2: The politicians and the celebrities and the talk shows have 1765 01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:10,800 Speaker 2: been all into it, and it got to the point 1766 01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:13,759 Speaker 2: where eventually the pageant, which is due to be held tomorrow, 1767 01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:16,960 Speaker 2: had to eventually just cracked and got in touch with 1768 01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:20,040 Speaker 2: the Home Affairs Ministry and asked the Home Affairs Ministry 1769 01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,840 Speaker 2: to investigate, and it did, and it said this week 1770 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:24,800 Speaker 2: that the mother, yes, may in fact have stolen the 1771 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,040 Speaker 2: South African woman's identity, and so as the result, the 1772 01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,040 Speaker 2: contestant then the next day pulled out and it's all over. 1773 01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 2: What happened they reckon this is the Home Affairs Ministry 1774 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:36,120 Speaker 2: is that the mum did in fact nick another woman's identity, 1775 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,600 Speaker 2: and it is possible that that woman may not have 1776 01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:41,120 Speaker 2: realized up to the point where she went to register 1777 01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:45,439 Speaker 2: her own child's birth and could not register it because 1778 01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,320 Speaker 2: her identity had been nicked by somebody else. Not the 1779 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,040 Speaker 2: contestant's fault. They're keen to stress. But she was a 1780 01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 2: baby at the time. But nevertheless she is now bearing 1781 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 2: the well, she's paying for it, isn't she. And by 1782 01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,920 Speaker 2: the way, she's hot, so she might have won the 1783 01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:04,160 Speaker 2: thing two A seven forgiven. Peter Lewis Asia Business correspondent 1784 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 2: with US now Peter. 1785 01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:06,679 Speaker 8: Hi Loya. 1786 01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,439 Speaker 2: Forgiven you were just talking to Laura. We will forgive 1787 01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:10,720 Speaker 2: you for that. 1788 01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:11,400 Speaker 6: I was. 1789 01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:13,719 Speaker 8: My brain is a bit scrambled this morning. 1790 01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 2: That's all right, after a week that you've been through 1791 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,000 Speaker 2: having a look at the stocks, the Japanese stocks and 1792 01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,000 Speaker 2: stuff like that, how are things looking there now? After 1793 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 2: all of that volatility? 1794 01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:25,680 Speaker 8: They've calmed down a bit. I mean, there were extraordinary 1795 01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:27,800 Speaker 8: volatility at the beginning of the week. The NIK two 1796 01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 8: two five, the main index in Japan, plunged twelve percent 1797 01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,400 Speaker 8: over twelve percent in just the day, and then the 1798 01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 8: following day rebounded ten percent, which sort of begs the question, 1799 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:43,479 Speaker 8: what change between Friday and Monday to cause a twelve 1800 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:46,639 Speaker 8: percent four and then what changed between Monday and Tuesday 1801 01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:49,640 Speaker 8: to cause in to rebound again by ten percent? And 1802 01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,519 Speaker 8: no one has really got a very good answer to that, 1803 01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:56,240 Speaker 8: because there certainly hasn't been anything drastic changing in the economy. 1804 01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:01,080 Speaker 8: What has changed in Japan is that interest rates are 1805 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,280 Speaker 8: starting to go up. The Bank of Japan now has 1806 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 8: twice this year raised interest rates, and you have to 1807 01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,120 Speaker 8: bear in mind that for two decades, interest rates in 1808 01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:13,840 Speaker 8: Japan have been either negative or zero, so it is 1809 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,640 Speaker 8: although it's a small change, they're now a quarter of 1810 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:19,560 Speaker 8: a percent between global terms, is still very low. It 1811 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,040 Speaker 8: starts the move of a start upwards and what this 1812 01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 8: has done has caused an unwind in what is known 1813 01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:29,280 Speaker 8: as the yen carry trade. Now what happens is investors 1814 01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:32,120 Speaker 8: all over the world are able to borrow money in 1815 01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:35,679 Speaker 8: Japan at very very low rates, at zero or close 1816 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,720 Speaker 8: to zero, which they have done, and then they deposit 1817 01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:42,320 Speaker 8: those proceeds in areas where there's much higher interest rates, 1818 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,840 Speaker 8: like the US dollar where interest rates are five and 1819 01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:48,080 Speaker 8: a quarter percent, the New Zealand dollar, the Australian dollar 1820 01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,960 Speaker 8: where you can get a much higher rate of return, 1821 01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,639 Speaker 8: and then on top of that they go and use 1822 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,880 Speaker 8: those funds to buy other assets. So in the US 1823 01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,880 Speaker 8: it could be tech stocks, it could be bitcoin and 1824 01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:02,240 Speaker 8: so on. So what happens is now that is starting 1825 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:05,679 Speaker 8: to go in reverse as Japanese rates rise. It's caused 1826 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,719 Speaker 8: the big jump in the yen, which means that people 1827 01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 8: start to lose money when they have to convert their 1828 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,160 Speaker 8: dollars or their Aussie dollars back to yen because the 1829 01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,360 Speaker 8: exchange rate has moved against them. So just a very 1830 01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,559 Speaker 8: small change in interest rates has caused quite a big 1831 01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,880 Speaker 8: dislocation in both Japanese markets and other markets around the 1832 01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:27,760 Speaker 8: world as well. We've seen it in the US this 1833 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:31,400 Speaker 8: weekend and elsewhere. So it does beg the question what 1834 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 8: happens if interest rates go up even more? They're only 1835 01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:36,360 Speaker 8: a quarter of percent at the moment. If they go 1836 01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:38,960 Speaker 8: up even further from that, what is it going to 1837 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,639 Speaker 8: do twit to local equity markets? And this is where 1838 01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:45,559 Speaker 8: people are rather fearful of the unwinding of this trade 1839 01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,000 Speaker 8: which has been going on for two decades now. 1840 01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:49,920 Speaker 2: On that subject, what do you make of the apparent 1841 01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,280 Speaker 2: disagreement over it between the central bank governor and the 1842 01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 2: deputy governor. 1843 01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,800 Speaker 8: Well, this is quite extraordinary because the governor of the 1844 01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:02,840 Speaker 8: Banker Japan casa raise rates and staid very clearly just 1845 01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:06,240 Speaker 8: two weeks ago rates are going to go up more. Well, 1846 01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,720 Speaker 8: that caused this big fall in the market. So the 1847 01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,000 Speaker 8: other day the deputy governor of the Banker Japan said, no, no, 1848 01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:16,400 Speaker 8: we're not going to raise rates while markets are unstable. Now, 1849 01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:18,880 Speaker 8: this is quite extraordinary because it means in the space 1850 01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,120 Speaker 8: of just a few days, Japan has completely abandoned its 1851 01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:25,479 Speaker 8: monetary policy, which was to raise rates in order to 1852 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,160 Speaker 8: in effect save the markets. They don't want to raise 1853 01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:31,240 Speaker 8: rates where the markets are going down. Now, this is 1854 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 8: not what a central bank is supposed to do. A 1855 01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 8: central bank is supposed to focus on inflation and price 1856 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:42,439 Speaker 8: stability and to a certain extented economic stability. Its job 1857 01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:45,799 Speaker 8: is not to bail out investors in the stock market. 1858 01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,960 Speaker 8: And you certainly wouldn't hear the FED, for example, in 1859 01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 8: the US, say we're going to stop raising rates because 1860 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,040 Speaker 8: the market has started to go down. The only time 1861 01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,400 Speaker 8: you would ever consider such a thing is if there 1862 01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:01,920 Speaker 8: was real financial instability, which hasn't happened to a date 1863 01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:05,720 Speaker 8: in Japan. So this is quite an extraordinary, first of all, 1864 01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,439 Speaker 8: difference of opinion between the governor and the deputy governor, 1865 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:12,040 Speaker 8: but also quite an extraordinary intervention by the Bank of 1866 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,760 Speaker 8: Japan after just one of the fact has been two 1867 01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,640 Speaker 8: days of market volacility. 1868 01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:20,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, very good point. Hey, I'm fascinated by how far 1869 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,120 Speaker 2: back to Waltz's connection to China goes, just given how 1870 01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,240 Speaker 2: anti China the US government is at the moment. 1871 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,719 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, he's had a long connection with China, 1872 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:32,240 Speaker 8: going back to nineteen eighty nine. He was a teacher 1873 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 8: in China for a year in southern China, he taught 1874 01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:39,919 Speaker 8: American history and English of the school in Guandong Province, 1875 01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,160 Speaker 8: and he speaks very fondly of it. He gave an 1876 01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:46,240 Speaker 8: interview not long after he did that where he talks 1877 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,080 Speaker 8: very much about how much he enjoyed his experience there. 1878 01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,840 Speaker 8: He thought the Chinese people were wonderful. He said he 1879 01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:56,720 Speaker 8: was treated exceptionally well. He wasn't very complimentary about the 1880 01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,320 Speaker 8: Chinese governments. He said, there will be so many good 1881 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,080 Speaker 8: opportunities for Chinese people if they had proper leadership. He 1882 01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,360 Speaker 8: said there would be no limits on what they could 1883 01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:10,160 Speaker 8: accomplish if they had a good leadership. And even after that, 1884 01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,280 Speaker 8: after his year there, he had a business which every 1885 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:18,320 Speaker 8: year took high school students from America to China every summer, 1886 01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:22,640 Speaker 8: and he did that until two thousand and three. And 1887 01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:25,080 Speaker 8: an interesting fact about it is that he chose to 1888 01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:29,439 Speaker 8: marry his wife on June the fourth, nineteen ninety four, 1889 01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:33,640 Speaker 8: or June the fourth was the day is the anniversary 1890 01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,599 Speaker 8: of the crackdown on Tier Element Square, and he said 1891 01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:38,640 Speaker 8: he wanted to marry his wife on to have a 1892 01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:43,040 Speaker 8: date that he would always remember. So although he likes 1893 01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:45,519 Speaker 8: very much China, and he likes very much Chinese people. 1894 01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:48,719 Speaker 8: He has been a very big critic of the Chinese 1895 01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:51,760 Speaker 8: governments with their human rights record. He's met people like 1896 01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:56,640 Speaker 8: the Dalai Lama, Hong Kong devocracy activist Joshua Wong. He 1897 01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:59,760 Speaker 8: also met who is now in jail. And he's on 1898 01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:04,000 Speaker 8: several American committees which are looking into sort of the 1899 01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:07,840 Speaker 8: activities of China, and he has been a supporter of 1900 01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,400 Speaker 8: some of the sanctions because of what he says and 1901 01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:15,120 Speaker 8: what these American committees saying are breaches of human rights 1902 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:15,639 Speaker 8: in China. 1903 01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,759 Speaker 2: He's fascinating. Hey, thank you very much, Peter really appreciated. 1904 01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,400 Speaker 2: Peter Lewis talk to you next week.

What was this 1927 01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:25,000 Speaker 2: chet planning to do? 1928 01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:28,439 Speaker 24: Yeah, a lot more severe than I think people have 1929 01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:31,519 Speaker 24: originally envisaged. So he's a nineteen year old he's been 1930 01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:34,920 Speaker 24: arrested on planning to kill a large crowd of people 1931 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:39,040 Speaker 24: in a suicide attack at the Taylor Swift concert in Vienna. 1932 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:43,320 Speaker 24: The teenager have previously pledged allegiance to the Islamic State 1933 01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,439 Speaker 24: group and confessed that the quote intended to carry out 1934 01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:50,559 Speaker 24: an attack using explosives and knives. Taylor Swift has three 1935 01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:54,160 Speaker 24: shows at the Ernst Tapple Stadium in Austria. They're all 1936 01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:57,160 Speaker 24: sold out, but they've all now been canceled. That means 1937 01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:01,000 Speaker 24: one hundred and ninety five thousand people have been disappointed. 1938 01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:06,560 Speaker 24: The nineteen year old man, the main suspect, had stolen chemicals, 1939 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:11,240 Speaker 24: apparently from his former workplace. One newspaper, citing that he 1940 01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:14,760 Speaker 24: used to work as a metal processing company, intermits his 1941 01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 24: hometown and that he'd made progress in building a bomb. 1942 01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:18,439 Speaker 3: Now. 1943 01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:21,360 Speaker 24: The interesting thing about this, of course is Taylor Swift's 1944 01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:25,080 Speaker 24: concerts are a massive tour, the Eras Tour, and this 1945 01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:28,839 Speaker 24: is the European leg, and she arrives in Wembley Stadium 1946 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:32,000 Speaker 24: in London next week, and of course security for that 1947 01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:33,679 Speaker 24: will have to be extremely tight. 1948 01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:37,759 Speaker 2: Hey, So Elon Musks he deleted that fake Telegraph article. 1949 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:43,800 Speaker 24: Yes, so a fake story, a fake article and a 1950 01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,639 Speaker 24: fake banner to it. All of that was something which 1951 01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:52,520 Speaker 24: appeared on the website or on x and was reposted 1952 01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:53,719 Speaker 24: by Elon Musk. 1953 01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:54,280 Speaker 4: What was it? 1954 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:58,839 Speaker 24: Well, it promoted a conspiracy theory about the British building 1955 01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:03,240 Speaker 24: detainment amps in the South Atlantic for rioters in the 1956 01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:08,280 Speaker 24: recent disturbances those South Atlantic islands the Falkland Islands off Argentina, 1957 01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:11,559 Speaker 24: of course British territory. But this image that was posted 1958 01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 24: by Elon Musk looked very much like it had come 1959 01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:17,839 Speaker 24: from the Daily Telegraph website. The Daily Telegraph said. 1960 01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:18,160 Speaker 8: No, it's not. 1961 01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,840 Speaker 24: The story has nothing to do with them, and indeed 1962 01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:24,559 Speaker 24: it's not true. It was first copied. It was originally 1963 01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:26,680 Speaker 24: put online, then copied by the co leader of the 1964 01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,760 Speaker 24: far right Britain First Party, and that's where we believe 1965 01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:32,599 Speaker 24: Elon must picked it up. He's since taken it down, 1966 01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:37,519 Speaker 24: but not Heather before one point seven million people had 1967 01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,960 Speaker 24: looked at it is. So that shows the power of 1968 01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 24: social media and it's something this government is desperately trying 1969 01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:45,640 Speaker 24: to work out how to tackle in light of how 1970 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:47,559 Speaker 24: social media was used in these routes. 1971 01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,519 Speaker 2: Listen, Kevin, I'm not entirely surprised that the two most 1972 01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:53,720 Speaker 2: expensive studies in the world, Sullivan Aaron Switzerland, are you. 1973 01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,479 Speaker 24: No, I'm not, And having been there recently for dinner 1974 01:34:57,840 --> 01:34:59,880 Speaker 24: and thinking it would cost me, ah, I don't know, 1975 01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:03,320 Speaker 24: sixty seventy dollars, and then being given a bill that 1976 01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:06,960 Speaker 24: was something like double or triple. That father for some 1977 01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:10,320 Speaker 24: really pretty ordinary stuff was quite amazing. So this is 1978 01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:12,840 Speaker 24: a list of the top ten most expensive cities in 1979 01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:15,320 Speaker 24: the world. In fact, it goes on some two hundred 1980 01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:19,439 Speaker 24: and eighteen cities were measured. Geneva and Zurich take the 1981 01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 24: top two slots, and New York is third. And all 1982 01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 24: these different factors which include cost of living as in rent, 1983 01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:31,920 Speaker 24: the going out for a meal, going out for a drink, transport, 1984 01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,840 Speaker 24: calast et cetera, are all compared to New York, so 1985 01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:38,599 Speaker 24: Geneva and Zurich are more expensive. New York comes in next. 1986 01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:41,240 Speaker 24: Then we get a whole list of different cities. Reck 1987 01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 24: Kivik in Iceland comes in six. You have to look 1988 01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:48,639 Speaker 24: down to thirteenth for London. The top Australian city Canberra, 1989 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:52,840 Speaker 24: he comes in twelfth. But in New Zealand Wellington twenty ninth, 1990 01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:57,760 Speaker 24: Auckland forty third and christ Church sixty seventh, so some 1991 01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:03,679 Speaker 24: interest in comparisons there and the cheapest fourteen cities India 1992 01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:05,559 Speaker 24: and Pakistan have twelve of them. 1993 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:08,240 Speaker 2: Interesting. Hey, thank you very much, Gavin, really appreciate it, 1994 01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:11,720 Speaker 2: and enjoy your weekend. Gavin Gray UK correspondent, Man, I'm 1995 01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,800 Speaker 2: surprised that Singapore isn't on like the top ten, because 1996 01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 2: you know, I went to Singapore last week and we 1997 01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:19,000 Speaker 2: will discuss this at some stage. It was a wild, 1998 01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:21,880 Speaker 2: wild thing to do at like two weeks notice to 1999 01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:24,240 Speaker 2: my boss, who was very gracious about it. Blah blah whatever, 2000 01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:26,240 Speaker 2: ill explain it at some stage. It was craziness that 2001 01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,479 Speaker 2: came over me. But but so I went with a 2002 01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,920 Speaker 2: friend of mine and we were staying at a really 2003 01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:34,200 Speaker 2: cool little hotel in Chinatown, and so we went. We 2004 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,880 Speaker 2: had and put hotel on the rooms, breakfast on the room. 2005 01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:39,599 Speaker 2: So we went downstairs and said, oh, I have breakfast 2006 01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:42,200 Speaker 2: at the hotel, went downstairs, paid sixty bucks for a breakfast. 2007 01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:46,360 Speaker 2: We're like, might have to have breakfast now elsewhere, won't 2008 01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:50,360 Speaker 2: we because that's a little bit expensive. And then Singapore's 2009 01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,960 Speaker 2: notorious for being really expensive. And then obviously you have 2010 01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:55,200 Speaker 2: to go to Raffles Bar. Yeah, we had Raffles hotel. 2011 01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:56,800 Speaker 2: You have to go to Long Bar all yourself a 2012 01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:03,679 Speaker 2: Singapore sling, one Singapore sling fifty dollars fifty New Zealand 2013 01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:06,560 Speaker 2: dollars for a cocktail. Your answers looking at me, like, 2014 01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:08,920 Speaker 2: what are you doing with your life? Would you do 2015 01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:10,679 Speaker 2: it once? Don't yet they don't do it again. 2016 01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:12,760 Speaker 5: You can get a cocktail with four different kinds of 2017 01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:16,559 Speaker 5: rum and absinthe in it in Auckland for like almost half. 2018 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:17,880 Speaker 5: They just over half that. 2019 01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:20,280 Speaker 2: I was shocked and I'm tight. 2020 01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:22,240 Speaker 5: So so better have been good? 2021 01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:22,800 Speaker 20: Was it good? 2022 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,080 Speaker 2: It was awesome? Like you only needed one and you 2023 01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:27,880 Speaker 2: were like you only needed one and you were not 2024 01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:29,720 Speaker 2: walking at a straight line. So it did the job 2025 01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:31,439 Speaker 2: for fifty bucks. I'll tell you what. Singapore is not 2026 01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:33,160 Speaker 2: the city for me. So I like my things to 2027 01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:34,719 Speaker 2: be cheap seven away from seven. 2028 01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:38,960 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro, micro or just plain economics. It's all 2029 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:42,679 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy Allen and my HR, 2030 01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:46,160 Speaker 1: the HR platform for SME used talkb. 2031 01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:48,599 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've got an I've got another Singapore story 2032 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,320 Speaker 2: for you. So before I went to Singapore, I was 2033 01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:53,439 Speaker 2: desperate and I was talking about it non stop to 2034 01:37:53,479 --> 01:37:55,640 Speaker 2: the guys here at work, desperate to go to this 2035 01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,439 Speaker 2: place called Hawker Chan, which is like a really cheap 2036 01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,559 Speaker 2: kind of like food cart type vibe place that managed 2037 01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:04,200 Speaker 2: to get a Michelin star back in twenty sixteen. It 2038 01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,400 Speaker 2: was really controversial that they gave a Micheline Star to 2039 01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:08,600 Speaker 2: this place, but then it lost the Michelin Star. And 2040 01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:10,880 Speaker 2: let me tell you, I know why they lost the 2041 01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:14,080 Speaker 2: Michelin Star because the trapes were made across town to 2042 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:15,960 Speaker 2: go to this place. Actually not that far was also 2043 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:17,479 Speaker 2: in China Town, so it was just around the block. 2044 01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:20,360 Speaker 2: But anyway, went there and it was basically the McDonald's 2045 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,559 Speaker 2: of Singapore. And you go in and they're like Michelin Star, 2046 01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:25,840 Speaker 2: like hawk Chain in the place that won the Michelin Star, yay. 2047 01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:28,120 Speaker 2: And you go in and it's like you're going into 2048 01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:33,360 Speaker 2: the crappiest Asian food joint you've ever been to, and 2049 01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:34,760 Speaker 2: you order. I was like, what shall I have? And 2050 01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,760 Speaker 2: they were like, order the tourist dish, so we did. 2051 01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 2: And tourist dish is basically like a bunch of kind 2052 01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:42,120 Speaker 2: of like bits of meat and some bock choi on 2053 01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:46,400 Speaker 2: the side and then some Singapore noodles. And why on 2054 01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 2: earth the Micheline people ever thought that that deserved a 2055 01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:51,400 Speaker 2: Michelin star. That wasn't even do you know what? You 2056 01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:53,519 Speaker 2: go to Ponzabi Food caught order some food up there 2057 01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:54,840 Speaker 2: is better than what we had. I don't know why 2058 01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:56,680 Speaker 2: it got a Michelin star, but good thing they took 2059 01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:59,400 Speaker 2: it away. So anyway, that was the biggest disappointment. Singapore 2060 01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:01,479 Speaker 2: Sling though I fight out of Singaple Sling before I 2061 01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:03,320 Speaker 2: gone to that that place, it would have been fine. 2062 01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:05,360 Speaker 5: And I'll tell you what I'm getting about. Hungry now 2063 01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:07,880 Speaker 5: talking about this, So let's talk about Michael Boublay.
