Chris bushop reckons he can 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 3: make cars cheaper for us to help with the environment, 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 3: food price inflation. How much Uber might have to pay 9 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 3: drivers after a landmark Supreme Court ruling esbestos in your 10 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 3: kids play sand? Doesn't sound great, does it? Plus con 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 3: bete up the boss on what to do now the 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 3: buyout deal is off, Ryan Bridge. These poles that keep 13 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 3: showing laborhead a National a sign of well, how crap 14 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 3: the economy is really up. Until a few weeks ago, though, 15 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 3: I was sort of ignoring the poles because Labour didn't 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 3: have any policy, and I thought, well, this is a 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 3: protest vote. People are pissed at National for not fixing 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 3: the mess that Labour left behind. The voters aren't stupid. 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 3: Voters are never stupid, and they're voting for a no 20 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: policy party as a protest, not because they'd actually vote 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 3: for them. Now, Labour has some policies, albeit three, but 22 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 3: they include the contentious one, the capital gains tax, and 23 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 3: they will love how this has played for them so far, 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: because so far it actually hasn't been a terrible mess. 25 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: So now that Labor has policies confirming they are indeed 26 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: a party of more tax and more spend, the numbers should, 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: in theory be turning, but they're not. The latest IPSOS 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: poll shows voters trust Labor more on the economy and 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 3: cost of living than National. Basically everything except foreign affairs 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: and law and order, and foreign affairs is Winston Peters. 31 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: So not great for the coalition, We're not great for National. 32 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 3: I should say the economy should turn around, green shoots 33 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: next year, et cetera, et cetera. How many times have 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: we been told that? But people just aren't feeling it yet. 35 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 3: So National strategy for weight and hope till November next year, 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: which is likely when they're going to go to the polls, 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: is looking riskier by the day. As for the leadership question, 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: Jacinda didn't teach us much about leadership, but we did 39 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 3: learn something important from her, and that is you can 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: switch leaders really close to an election day and not 41 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: crash your vote. In fact, you can actually increase it. 42 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 3: So an eleventh hour switched to Stanford or bish or 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: whoever will remain a live option. I think right up 44 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: until D Day. 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge number text. 46 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: It's nine minutes after four on your Monday afternoon. If 47 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: you've got kids who play with colored sand, listen up. 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: Seven different magic sand products have now been recalled because 49 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 3: it turns out they might actually contain asbestos. The products 50 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: are Kmart, Blue, Pink and Green Magic Sand. Some schools 51 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 3: and eces have had to close classrooms and call in 52 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 3: asbestos specialists. Ian Kaplan is MB product safety spokesperson on 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: the line. Ian Good afternoon, Hi Rayan, So what is this? 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: How dangerous is this sand product? 55 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, everyone is working through this speed 56 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 4: to just work out actually what the kind of the 57 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 4: nature and the extent of the problem is in terms 58 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 4: of in terms of that sort of thing. We have 59 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 4: treated it and we are taking a really really across 60 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 4: government precautious approach because obviously this product finds itself in 61 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 4: schools and early learning centers and kids are involved. So 62 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 4: we're not hanging about. 63 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: So have you tested one, betch and it's come up 64 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: with a spistops or have you done multiple how many? 65 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: How many people? 66 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 4: So testing is continuing. There have been what what triggered 67 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 4: this initially was last week in fact, when there was 68 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: an independent test in Australia on another firm, EC with 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: their colored sand educational colors and the company has done 70 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 4: a voluntary product recall for those. Testing has happened here 71 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: for this kmart sand and again that's come up, so 72 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 4: we've responded to that, but we're continuing to get testing 73 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: in process. Others are testing and we're and the supply 74 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 4: players Kmar and EC the earlier one, are looking across 75 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 4: their supply line, so they're recalling the product voluntarily. They're 76 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 4: absolutely complying and looking at just where they put these 77 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 4: things out where these things have been sold. 78 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: If you have kids at home who play with the stuff, 79 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: should you be really worried about it or should you 80 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: be relaxed? 81 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 4: Of course, I'm a dad. If you've got kids at home, 82 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: I completely understand that any parents or caregivers will be concerned. 83 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 4: What I would say is if you are concerned, and 84 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 4: I'm saying don't panic makes people panic, I know, But 85 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 4: what I would say is the potential impact of a specials. 86 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 4: Exposure is a long term thing. People don't need to 87 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: take immediate steps to manage their health if there is 88 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 4: any concern. What I would encourage any way, Ryan, is 89 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 4: for people to go to the Health New Zealand website. 90 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 4: They've got a massive amount of really understandable information on 91 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 4: this situation. In particularly If they've. 92 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: Got that's all great, But if how likely is it 93 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: that if your kid's been playing with this, they have 94 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 3: been exposed to a spestos in a dangerous form, Well. 95 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 4: Again, we can't we can't actually give you the answer 96 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 4: to that. 97 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 3: Right So we just know that there is a little 98 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: bit of a spestos in the product in a testing 99 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: batch that's been done, but we don't know the concentration 100 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 3: on each right now. 101 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 4: Absolutely, so we're looking at the whole context. We're going 102 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: and look at looking as far as we can, so 103 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 4: we're going out on abundance of caution. I was going 104 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: to say, Ryan, is. 105 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 3: It fine enough that that's being ingested into the kid's system. 106 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: Does it matter if they eat it or is it 107 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 3: only if they inhale it into the lungs? 108 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 4: Where we're not in a position to talk about that 109 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: yet in terms of health risks. We're still looking at 110 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 4: what the nature of the problem is. What I will 111 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: say if you let me finish my sentence, is that 112 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 4: we want people to check the Health New Zealand website 113 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 4: for directions on what to do, how to bag this 114 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 4: stuff up. It's very very clear. If people are still concerned, 115 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: then phoning up Health sign or going to the GP 116 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 4: would be the ways forward. I also want to say 117 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 4: that if you're a place of work, which can include 118 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 4: a school but it might be other places as well, 119 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 4: work safe are the people to talk to there, and 120 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 4: that the councils are getting ready to receive disposable asbestos. 121 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: So the process and Health New Zealand advice is to 122 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: get rid of this stuff once you've bagged it up 123 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 4: in the proper way and put it out through there. 124 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: I do understand in the concerned a b. 125 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 4: No, this isn't this isn't this isn't a wastepin job, 126 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: this isn't a hoover job. So the Health New Zealand 127 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 4: site has got it all in there. But very broadly speaking, 128 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 4: if it's in the tub, double bag it, put it 129 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 4: out the way. If it's not in the tub and 130 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 4: lying around on the floor. The Health New Zealand site 131 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 4: will talk about ways in which you can clear it up. 132 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: If there is any uncertainty over that, then having to 133 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 4: call him expert maybe necessary. But get people to the 134 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 4: Health New Zealand site. 135 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: No one can throw it on the burn, double bag 136 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: it and then it's going to go somewhere. We'll look 137 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 3: on the Health News on a website for weir how 138 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: many houses have got this, how many products have been so, 139 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 3: how much is out there? 140 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we're we're still working through that rhyme. We're 141 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 4: still looking the companies a lot. I'm not going to 142 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: speculate and give you finite numbers because that's not responsible 143 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 4: and it doesn't actually reflect a correct answer. What the 144 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 4: supplies are doing at the moment is what they do 145 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 4: in a standard product safety recal, which is checking their inventories, 146 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 4: checking their stocks, checking what other supply lines these things 147 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 4: have got into. This is a prohibited substance and it's 148 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 4: on the retailers once they are disclosed, they've got it 149 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 4: to check just where it is that they have sold it. 150 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 4: We're obviously broadcasting this as far and as wide as possible, 151 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 4: and they've dealt the first available opportunity. 152 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: Ian, appreciate your time this afternoon. Ian kaplan from MB 153 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: time as fourteen after four by double begging and taking away. 154 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: Doesn't sound great, does it?

This is 156 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 3: from Colin Ryan Scott Robinson was a big mistake. We've 157 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: got to get rid of him. Blah blah. Lots of 158 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: texts like that coming in after the weekend. I spoke 159 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: to Mills Mollian about this this morning and he said, yeah, look, 160 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: it's not great, and you've got another year and then 161 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: you've got a World Cup and what point do you 162 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: just say, bugger it, we're pulling pin. Well, we're getting 163 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 3: close to that point, Mills said, not quite ready to 164 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: say it should happen now, but you kind of you've 165 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: got to make a decision, and you've got to make 166 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: a decision with enough time before the World Cup. We'll 167 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: talk to Jason Pines Sport.

Someone says, Ryan, why kids even 171 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 3: playing with colored sand? It's a question I asked this 172 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: afternoon too. Why aren't they just playing with normal sand? 173 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: Apparently you don't put it in sand pits. That's what 174 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 3: I thought was happening. Kids are putting this in sand 175 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: pits and then playing with it. Apparently it's more like 176 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: you put glue onto a piece of paper and then 177 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: you sprinkle some of the sand like you would with glitter. 178 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: It's modern glitter. Okay, that's what kids are doing with it, 179 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: and it's goot asbestos in it, so be careful. Four 180 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: eighteen Sport. 181 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: With TB multis fast, easy and more codes are eighteen 182 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: bit responsibly. 183 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 3: Jason pines with us, Hey, Jason, Hey, Ryan, So what 184 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 3: do you reckon? Raise what we're two year point now 185 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: of his coaching tenure. 186 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, as are the text you're getting. The ones I 187 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 5: got on Weekend Sport were very measured yesterday, as you 188 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 5: can probably imagine, in reaction to what happened at Twickenham. 189 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 5: You're right, two years and they're gonna they're not gonna 190 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 5: let him go. They're not gonna sack them unless they 191 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 5: were to lose to Wales. I think we might have 192 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 5: a different conversation if they lost to Wales. But I 193 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 5: think we all need to accept that that Scott Robinson 194 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 5: has taken your Blackston and to the next World Cup. 195 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 5: But I think what we all need to see and 196 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 5: what should be asked if Robertson is what is the 197 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 5: plan to get us there in good shape? Because I 198 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 5: just don't feel as though there's been enough movement or 199 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 5: any improvement really from the team that he took charge 200 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 5: of at the start of twenty twenty four. And it's 201 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 5: hard to feel confident about the next Rugby World Cup 202 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,479 Speaker 5: off the backdrop of not just yesterday, but losses to Argentina, 203 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 5: to South Africa and other sort of inconsistent performances, even 204 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 5: when the All Blacks have won test matches. So look, 205 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 5: the rugby public, I think is right to want to 206 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 5: know what the plan is, and yeah, he's got a 207 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 5: couple of years to sort out exactly what that is 208 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 5: and I guess sell it to us. 209 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 3: Well and hopefully it'll turn itself around. Now Silver Ferns England, 210 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 3: so the one now in the series? Can they finish 211 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: it off with a wind? Do we think you think so, 212 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 3: wouldn't you? 213 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 6: Yeah? 214 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 3: The crazy that this is. 215 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 5: The scoorelines were identical in the first two tests, sixty 216 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 5: one to fifty eight to New Zealand in the first 217 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 5: one sixty one fifty eight to England and the second, 218 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 5: So it demonstrates how close these two are the rankings 219 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 5: for what they're worth. New Zealand a second in the world, 220 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 5: England a fourth. But we're playing in England, so I 221 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 5: guess the home advantage brings it back a little bit. 222 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 3: It feels to me as though. 223 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 5: This is the end of a very long and exhausting 224 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 5: off court year for the Silver Ferns. It would be nice, 225 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 5: wouldn't it to think that they could finish it on 226 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 5: the court with a victory. So what's that Thursday morning 227 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 5: up in Manchester. Let's side they can finish on a 228 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 5: high and going to Commonwealth Games year with a bitter momentum. 229 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 3: It's funny because we've got the All Blacks and they 230 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: have one bad Test and everyone's like, oh, sack the coach. 231 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 3: And then in netball the coach situation obviously quite fluid, 232 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 3: and yet they've been doing quite well all things considered. Odd, 233 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: isn't it? Yeah? It does the coach really matter? Hey, 234 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: appreciate your time. Jason Pine from News Talks b Sport, 235 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 3: it is four twenty and this was from the weekend. 236 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 3: You might have seen this. Hayden Wild had an absolute 237 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 3: shocker and it wasn't really his fault. This was in 238 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 3: Dubai at the triathlon. 239 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 7: Help going on. 240 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 8: Or not? 241 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 3: It was chaos and confusion. He ended up doing an 242 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 3: extra lap, completed an extra eight k's on the bike, 243 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 3: and finished eighth. And he'd been doing really well like 244 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 3: he's been on the in terms of his recent races. 245 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 3: He's been either one, two or three. I think actually 246 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 3: he's been winning them all until this one and he 247 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: comes eighth. Not his fault. They had no lap counters 248 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 3: and so it's up to each individual racer to keep across, 249 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 3: which I thought, well, they are professional athletes, you know, 250 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 3: they should be able to count. He made a joke 251 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: about that, Hayden Wild. But even so, I do a 252 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 3: bit of swimming in the pool, and it's so easy 253 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 3: if you're trying to swim and count how many laps 254 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 3: you're doing, it's actually becomes very difficult after a while, 255 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: and you forget and you focus on you one, two, three, breathing, 256 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: and then you forget what lap you're on. So I 257 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: can only imagine for an athlete who was running at 258 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: you know, five times to pace the rest of us 259 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: would how confusing that might become and your brain might 260 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 3: start to fatigue as your body does all that stuff 261 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: get a lap counter not hard as it do bike. 262 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: The headline and the hard questions. It's the mic Hosking 263 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: Breakfast to. 264 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: Say, for beef, it goes back to what do we know? 265 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 9: So it goes back to before the fifteen percent was 266 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 9: put on, So for us it will be the equivalent 267 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 9: of than the most favored nation status, which is very low. 268 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 9: It's less than one percent, so it really means a 269 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 9: very level playing field with every other beef and porter 270 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 9: in the world are the same teriff rate that Australia faces. 271 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 9: The only difference there is from memory, Brazil faced about 272 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 9: a forty percent tariff, so you know we are more 273 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 9: competitive than them. 274 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 2: When does it start? 275 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 9: My understanding is it started already on the moment that 276 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 9: the announcement was made, just a day or two ago. 277 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: Back tomorrow at six am, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 278 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 3: a Vida News Talk ZEDB. 279 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: Digging deeper into the day's headlines. 280 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Bridge on hither duels Ellen Dree with one 281 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: New Zealand coverage like no one else News Talk ZBB. 282 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 3: Four twenty five.

She's come out and said, I think 288 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 3: you could should consider now actually canceling any further actions 289 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 3: for our carbon auction. And the unit price value is 290 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: free falling worth sixty percent of what it was just 291 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 3: two weeks ago. So does the government step in and 292 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 3: a hold to all of this? Last Nicola Willis that's 293 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: later in the show after six tonight at Postcab.

The scheme is 300 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 7: ultimately pretty out of whack. With reality. So some hybrid vehicles, 301 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 7: not all, but some hybrid vehicle actually attract chargers rather 302 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 7: than credits. 303 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll talk to Chris Specially about it.

I took 344 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 3: off over the English Channel. Frankie has been spotted on 345 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 3: an island and northern France. Zoos staff say, seems pretty 346 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 3: happy there in the world, so we're not going to 347 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 3: try and bring her back. 348 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of mind 349 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 350 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 3: Oli Peterson with us this afternoon six PR Live, perth Oi. 351 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Yet a Ryan. Fifteen thousand knives seized by 352 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: Victoria police across the year. That's a hell of a lot. 353 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 11: What are we talking Well, if you put it in 354 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 11: this context, that's almost fifty knives and machetes taken off 355 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 11: Victorian streets every single day. Ryan, So fourteen thousand, eight 356 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 11: hundred and eight weapons were taken off streets in Victoria 357 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 11: last year. Now it's fifteen thousand this year. There's obviously 358 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 11: been a big targeted push in Victoria with these machette 359 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 11: bins that have been put around the state to collect 360 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 11: machetes which have been banned from sailing Victoria. But they've 361 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 11: got a huge crime problem. It's very well documented, particularly 362 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 11: in some of the Melbourne suburbs, and lots of people 363 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 11: having their cars stolen, their homes broken into. 364 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 3: It's just not a good advertisement to the rest of. 365 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 11: The world that Victoria has got such a issue with crime. 366 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 11: But how's that almost fifty taken off the streets every. 367 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: Day, So hell of a lot. Now the coalition we've 368 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 3: just been talking about, they've been arguing about, you know, 369 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 3: netzera of it. Now they're doing a MC Yeah, that's 370 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 3: what they want to do. 371 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 11: So obviously they've got the decide they're not going to 372 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 11: have a net zero policy. They want to talk about 373 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 11: instead kitchen table economics. Ryan, I like that term. But 374 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 11: basically the opposition is now going to try and prosecute 375 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 11: the governments and say that the reason that energy prices 376 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 11: are going up because we're going for net zero, the 377 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 11: reason that businesses are going broken this country is because 378 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 11: of net zero, and the reason that we don't have 379 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 11: manufacturing here in Australia is because of net zero. That's 380 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 11: the new argument that the opposition is going to try 381 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 11: and prosecute. Difficulty is that they don't have too much 382 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 11: credibility at the moment because as you mentioned, there in 383 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 11: the world wise, those opinion polls for Susan Lee diabolical. 384 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 11: There are some reports around today that Angus Taylor and 385 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 11: and or Andrew Hasty affirming to replace Susan Lee. I 386 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 11: don't think that's going to happen anytime soon, to be 387 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 11: perfectly frank, she's only been in the job since a 388 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 11: June of this year, and yes it is killing season 389 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 11: in the last week of federal Parliament. But why do 390 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 11: it now? We're like, we're a good two and a 391 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 11: half years away from an election. I know that the 392 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 11: coalition looks like it's steering into the abyss. Maybe forever 393 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 11: and ever are men, but it's just not the time. 394 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 11: You just wouldn't be making a change at the moment. 395 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 11: So I don't think that will eventuate. Having said that, 396 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 11: they say by Christmas they'll come out with a new 397 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 11: policy about immigration, saying that this is obviously hurting Australian 398 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 11: families and it's a major issue in Australia because labor 399 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 11: will let anybody into this country. So whether they can 400 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 11: start trying to once again get a hold of the 401 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 11: narrative and get a hold of the political debate, that 402 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 11: is to be seen. Because they are floundering. 403 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 3: Finally, what's going on with your pedestrian crossings? Onlie? 404 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 12: Well, this is interesting. 405 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 11: Have you got AI in New Zealand or that hasn't come? 406 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 3: Sorry? Ryan, We've got the internet. We've got the internet 407 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 3: dial up. Yeah, we get Coronation Street about ten years 408 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 3: after it's eared in the UK. Probably the same with 409 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: Home and Away actually, but yes we do have AI. 410 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 11: All right, good because there's nothing more and I'm sure 411 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 11: plenty of Kiwis would love catching the ferry from Circular 412 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 11: keat of Manly Wharf and when you get off the 413 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 11: wharf and you're trying to cross the road to get 414 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 11: over to the corso that is probably the jaywalk capital 415 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 11: of Australia because you just go right, You just I 416 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 11: can't need to cross the road. 417 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 4: I need to get to the beach. 418 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 3: I need to get to Manly Beach is one of 419 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: the best places in the world. 420 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 11: But what they've done now with these set of traffic 421 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 11: lights is they put in thermal cameras and artificial intelligence 422 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 11: and they've reduced jaywalking by thirty four percent. I mean, surprise, surprise, 423 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 11: Like you have little senses in the roads. When it 424 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 11: goes on, there's a car here. We need to go 425 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 11: from red to green to let you go all of 426 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 11: a sudden, they're saying, how many pedestrians there are, So 427 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 11: they're giving pedestrians a greater opportunity. 428 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 3: To cross the road. 429 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 11: Now, there's a big push at the moment on this 430 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 11: country to reduce what is the suburban speed limit or 431 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 11: a speed limit around here, for example, which is fifty 432 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 11: k's now and downder thirty. 433 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 12: They're saying this could be it. 434 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 11: We could roll out thermal cameras and AI to every 435 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 11: intersection in Australia and would help obviously also push down 436 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 11: our growing death toll at the moment, which is relating 437 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 11: to pedestrian death. 438 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 3: Seriroon.

He up until a few 450 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 3: minutes ago, didn't want the files released and said this 451 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 3: about poor old Marjorie Taylor Green. 452 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 13: On Saturday, President Trump blasted his one time staunch maga 453 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 13: ally representative Marjorie Taylor Green, calling her Marjorie Trader Green 454 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 13: any true social post, one day after referring to her 455 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 13: as a ranting lunatic in another. 456 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 3: Anyway, So that Trump's now done a truth social post 457 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 3: in the last couple of minutes, in which he has 458 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: said House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files 459 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 3: because we have nothing to hide. So, after all, why 460 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 3: drag this anyway? The votes have next week, and well, 461 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 3: if Trump gets his wish, we will all know what's 462 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 3: in this twenty one thousand pages apparently of documents to 463 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 3: sift through, and this dead pedophile who's dominating news cycles 464 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 3: long after he's left this left the earth. That will 465 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: continue next week and we'll get a whole bunch more 466 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 3: documents released apparently eighteen to five Barry Soper next. 467 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: Politics with Centrics Credit check your customers and get payments 468 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: certainty to. 469 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 3: Five Barries sober here Verry, Good afternoon, good afternoon, right, 470 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 3: good to see. So the clean car standard thing is 471 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 3: getting the boot or getting drastically reduced. 472 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 14: What is getting drastically reduced in the short term over 473 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 14: the next two years, and then they're having a review 474 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 14: in that time. But in the meantime it'll be reduced dramatically, 475 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 14: so it means that a lot of money will be 476 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 14: saved in credits and importers of cars. And this is 477 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 14: what it's all about really. The law was introduced in 478 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 14: twenty three with the aim of encouraging New Zealanders to 479 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 14: buy more fuel efficient cars and reduce emissions. Well, the 480 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 14: transportment is to Chris Bishop. He says the charges aren't 481 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 14: working other than driving the price up, so he's wasting 482 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 14: no time, I've got to say, and making the changes. 483 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 7: It has estimated these changes will avoid two hundred and 484 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 7: sixty four million dollars in net charges that could have 485 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 7: been passed on to New Zealand consumers through high vehicle prices. 486 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 7: And if there's one number to remember, that is the 487 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 7: number that if we don't act, there will be two 488 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 7: hundred and sixty four million dollars in net charges that 489 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 7: could have and likely will be passed on to New 490 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 7: Zealanders through higher vehicle prices. So the changes we are 491 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 7: announcing today will be law by the end of the 492 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 7: week and that will provide certainty to importers and ultimately 493 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 7: to New Zealand consumers. 494 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 3: I'm making all right, Well, we'll ask Chris Bishop about that. 495 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: He's on the show. We'll ask more about that then. Now, IPSOS, 496 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 3: the latest poll is not great for Nationalism. 497 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 14: No, it's terrible actually when you consider that the same 498 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 14: sort of pole was the cost of living remains the 499 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 14: most serious issue facing the public. But when they did 500 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 14: a similar poll when National came to power last time, 501 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 14: in fact, the figures were reversed. That of the twenty 502 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 14: top issues, National claim the fifteen top, whereas Labor were 503 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 14: claimed could claim not even five with the coalition partners. 504 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 14: Now the figures have been reversed, so the coalition government 505 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 14: has only claimed fifteen, well, in fact, five of the 506 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 14: top places that they can be relied on. So I 507 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 14: think Chris, certainly, Chris Luxon was you know, he'll be 508 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 14: very worried about this law and order and foreign affairs. 509 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 14: They are the only two that National score above. 510 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: One of the Labor is Winston Well, I'm going to 511 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 3: say that righteous. 512 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 14: And the climate change. Of course, the Green claim on 513 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 14: that is she's facing Mali, the Marketing Party, the other fifteen. 514 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 3: Barry, what does this mean? Because you've been doing this 515 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 3: a lot longer than I have. But from my perspective, 516 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 3: I was thinking, well, the Poles don't with the polls 517 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 3: that we're putting Labor ahead. It's a protest vote the 518 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 3: economy's cramp, but Labor didn't have any policies, so that 519 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 3: therefore it was a protest vote. Now that Labor has 520 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 3: some policies and there's still the Poles aren't changing, what 521 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 3: does it tell us? 522 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 14: Well, I think, you know, my view has always been 523 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 14: in all of this that you know, it takes so 524 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 14: long to turn an economy around the way it was left, 525 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 14: and when National and the coalition partners took over that 526 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 14: it's you know, next year, I think we'll see a 527 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 14: better year and maybe these figures will right themselves in 528 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 14: terms of what National wants. But I've got to say 529 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 14: the polls should worry National, but the Prime Minister, he's 530 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 14: playing it tough. 531 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 15: I'm focused on making sure we're trying to fix this economy. 532 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 15: There's no doubt about it. We inherited a pretty tough situation, 533 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 15: thirty five year recession, big COVID hangover, a difficult training environment. 534 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 15: But we My job is to fix it and so 535 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 15: you know that is what we and our team are doing. 536 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 15: There's so many poles each and every week I'll spend 537 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 15: more time commenting on poles and extrant fix this country. 538 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 14: And there's a lot of truth in that. They're very ambitious. 539 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 14: Chris Bishop was standing alongside and on the stage this afternoon. 540 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 14: I've got to say though he wasn't looking too worried. 541 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 3: The thing is like if you ask people about Labour's 542 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 3: record costs on inflation, you know, or their record on education, Well, 543 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 3: how can you? I don't know, no. 544 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 14: Sense, I can't fathom it myself. I mean, people have 545 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 14: short memories, it seems, you know when you look at 546 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 14: Chippy and congratulations Chiffy for becoming engaged today, not necessarily 547 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 14: in politics but to his partner. But you know he 548 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 14: he was the minister at the center Idurn government and. 549 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 3: Right the Greens are going to provoke mining contracts and 550 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 3: they're just letting us all know now before the actual 551 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 3: contracts are signed and done and dusted. 552 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 14: And yeah, we're go into this too much. But the 553 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 14: thing is that it makes it more difficult for Labor 554 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 14: again if this is going to be their bottom line, 555 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 14: and Madame Davidson it sounds as though she's pretty determined 556 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 14: on it that it was. Of course the government, the 557 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 14: Labor Party changed the ail and gas exploration thing as 558 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 14: soon as they came into power. Whinston Peters was part 559 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 14: of that government, so too was Shane Jones, the mining 560 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 14: minister who you remember still on stage with his hand 561 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 14: over his face, not liking what was happening. But what 562 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 14: they're seending is a message to the international community, and 563 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 14: there are a couple of big internationals involved off the 564 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 14: Taranaki coast at the moment, saying that if you enter 565 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 14: into a contract with this government, we're not going honor it. 566 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 14: But that's only the Greens. But it just makes that 567 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 14: bit harder for the Labor Party when you consider the 568 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 14: Greens will be a coalition partners, so will the Maldi Party. 569 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 3: Yes, they will need them or New Zealand. First Yeah, well, 570 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 3: well I don't think I did not count that discount 571 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 3: until he says he won't do it, and he's only 572 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 3: said he won't do it with Chippy. Yeah, that's yet. 573 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 3: Now very quickly, our Dona is going to appear on 574 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 3: the Graham Norton Show. 575 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 14: Well, it's sort of like a public service announcement, isn't 576 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 14: it really? That she gets on all the shows. And 577 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 14: of course when she was on the Stephen Colbeer Show, 578 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 14: I think you might have been in New York at 579 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 14: that time traveling as a journalist. 580 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 3: No, I wasn't there then, Well I was there. 581 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 14: But look, it comes as no surprise that she's on 582 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 14: the Graham Norton shows, that it's promoting her autobiographical documentary 583 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 14: or film they've made of her. I mean, this woman 584 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 14: is a legend in her own lifetime. 585 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 3: But overseas, overseas in this country she's not seeing in 586 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 3: it's playing her documentary live this afternoon. International. 587 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 14: Yeah, it's unbelievable, you know, but she's living overseas. She's 588 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 14: a good international citizen and they love her. 589 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 3: Verry Soper with Politics. It's nine to five on news Talk. 590 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 3: SEBB News Talk said, it is six minutes away from 591 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 3: five o'clock. We'll get to Chris Bishop on the changes 592 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 3: to the clean car standards. We'll hopefully make cars cheaper 593 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 3: for all of us. If we're buying new it should 594 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 3: be New War second hand too. We'll ask Chris Bishop 595 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 3: the details after five. Now remember that time that the 596 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 3: wrong winner was read out that the Oscars and it 597 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 3: was an absolute shambles. Well it's happened again. Slightly different 598 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 3: level of awards though, I have to say. Friday night, 599 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six winner of the Senior South Australian of 600 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 3: the Year was announced. Here's how it went down. 601 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 5: The twenty twenty six Senior South Australian of the Year 602 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 5: for South Australia. 603 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 2: Is Malcolm Benoy. 604 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: Congratulations Malcolm, well done. Malcolm is so far so good. 605 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 3: Then this happened. The judges are conferring for a second. 606 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 3: It's just like the Oscars. 607 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 16: It is a little bit like the Oscars. A Senior 608 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 16: Australian of the Year is in fact James. 609 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 3: It is James, James Curry. 610 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: James Curry. Just hold ready to hold for a second. 611 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 3: Is it Malcolm? Is it James? The suspense so intense, 612 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 3: And then it actually gets worse than the Oscars because 613 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 3: it turns out the announcers that actually got it right 614 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 3: the first time round had to announce the original winner again. 615 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 16: All right, we'll moving along as we hear this. Now 616 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 16: apparently it's our notes that are incorrect, and we will 617 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 16: let's scrub the last five minutes. 618 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 14: I start all of again. 619 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 2: Let's open the. 620 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 16: Card again and announce that the twenty twenty six Senior 621 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 16: Australian of the Year for South Australia is Mac Bennoy. 622 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 3: Senior Awards brought to you by Alzheimer's. I think now 623 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 3: I had represented an awards one but it was one 624 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 3: of my first times i'd done one of those awards 625 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 3: nights and it was for Beauty Awards and I was 626 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 3: giving out. It was sponsored by Colegate I can remember that, 627 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 3: and Art and Matilda. It was Matilda who'd won. Oh 628 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 3: I actually do you know what? I can't remember who won? 629 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,479 Speaker 3: I know anyway, what I did was announce you have 630 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 3: cards and front of you, and I announced the winner 631 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 3: city with five awards. First award Matilda should have won. 632 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 3: I accidentally announced the second winner. So then you've screwed 633 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 3: the pooch two ways from Sunday, haven't you, Because not 634 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 3: only have you let the cat out of the bag 635 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 3: about the second winner, but you've also screwed Matilda. So 636 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 3: it was a complete shambles. Anyway, they didn't ask me 637 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 3: back to the Beauty Awards, and that is for sure. 638 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 3: You're on News Talks zed BA.

The government promising imported new 648 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 3: and used vehicle is going to get cheaper. They're cutting 649 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 3: charges relating to the clean car standards by almost eighty percent. 650 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 3: Now you remember these standards they brought into encourage importers 651 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 3: to bring in evs and cleanic cars. Turns up we're 652 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 3: not actually buying them, Chris Bishops, the Transport Minister. Good evening, 653 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,239 Speaker 3: Good evening, So can you give us you're doing this 654 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 3: quickly and urgently. What's the quick fixed four? 655 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 7: Well, the standard gets tighter on the first of January 656 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 7: twenty twenty six, So unless we act, there will be 657 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 7: you know, potentially one hundreds, if not thousands of dollars 658 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 7: added to the cost of new and imported cars. The 659 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 7: Clean Car Standard started in twenty twenty three. It's a 660 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 7: previous government thing. We changed it in twenty twenty four 661 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 7: to bring it into lone with Australia, to essentially soften 662 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 7: it a bit, make it easier for people to comply with. 663 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 7: But unfortunately, over the last eighteen months or so, the 664 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 7: bottom's falling out of the EV market and the people 665 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 7: who are actually doing the imports actually can't get the 666 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 7: supply of evs and hybrids such that the scheme is 667 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 7: going to fail. So basically, unless we act, there's about 668 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 7: two hundred and sixty four million dollars worth of penalties 669 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 7: that are currently sitting on the box of car importers 670 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 7: that will likely be passed along to consumers through higher prices. 671 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 7: So we need to act and we're going to do 672 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 7: that quickly and it'll be done by the end of 673 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 7: the year. 674 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 3: This week, are you wiping those penalties? 675 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 7: What we're doing is reducing the gets technical but we 676 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 7: are reducing the the per gram of CO two charge. 677 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 7: So look, basically, The way it works is if you 678 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 7: bring in a gas guzzler, you've got to offset it 679 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 7: with an EV, right, and if you bring in a 680 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 7: gas guzzler, you pay a penalty, and if you bring 681 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 7: in an EV you get a credit, and it's meant 682 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 7: to balance out over time. But what's happened is that 683 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 7: it hasn't worked out like that because people aren't bringing 684 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 7: enough evs and people aren't buying them. And also the 685 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 7: importers can't get the supply of the evs because you've 686 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 7: got supply constraints coming out of Japan. So you've got 687 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 7: all of these importers who are sitting there with all 688 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 7: of these penalties that will end up being passed on 689 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 7: to consumers, in some cases by thousands of dollars per 690 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 7: car for quite common car brands. 691 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 3: So we're going to. 692 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 7: Reduce the charge of CO two for new vehicles and 693 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 7: for used vehicles. We're going to extend the credits held 694 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 7: by importers through the December twenty twenty eight and review 695 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:38,479 Speaker 7: of the scheme. 696 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 3: Okay, I understand that, but if you what about penalties 697 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 3: they've already incurred for bringing in gas guzzlers that are 698 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 3: sitting on their books what happens to that. 699 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 7: Well, the advice we've received is that over time, over 700 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 7: the next two years or so, the reduction in the 701 00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 7: price program of CO two will allow people. 702 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 3: To be made whole over the next couple of years. 703 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 3: So six twenty seven, okay, So they would just sit 704 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 3: and deficit until it balances itself out with more evs 705 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 3: coming on stream. 706 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 7: That's the plan, and you've got the credits don't expire 707 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 7: till thirty one December twenty twenty eight. This is supported 708 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 7: by the both new and the used car industry. They 709 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 7: We've been working with them over the last few weeks 710 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 7: months to get it right. 711 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 3: So what does this mean? Does this mean we don't 712 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 3: care about the environment? You know, screw climate change? 713 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 7: Doesn't mean that, It just means like I mean, look, 714 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 7: every country in the OECD, except for Russia, has a 715 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 7: clean vehicle standard of some type, right, and actually the 716 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 7: car industry supports a clean vehicle standard. The issue is 717 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 7: just actually getting the details right. And the last guy's 718 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 7: labor's scheme was a disaster. If you think the numbers 719 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 7: look bad, now imagine what it would be if they 720 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 7: were still happening. We made some changes, but we're making 721 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 7: some further changes very quickly. The take home point for 722 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 7: people listening is that they're no longer going to be 723 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 7: slugged with potentially thousands of dollars of extra charges just 724 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 7: for buying a car next year. 725 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 3: All right, well, what's a car a name of Carr 726 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 3: and how much will I save? 727 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 9: Oh? 728 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 7: Well, for example, Toyota hi as for example, the maximum 729 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 7: potential savings on that one of fifteen hundred bucks Toyota 730 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 7: High Lucks one thousand bucks too out a red four 731 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 7: two undred and sixty bucks for a new Celtos for 732 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 7: a three thoy six hundred Yeah for a new one. 733 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, yeah, good to know. Chris Bishop, transportman 734 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 3: is appreciate your time. It's five eleven frame Bridge. Food 735 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 3: price is up four point seven percent in the year 736 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 3: of October. Milk up thirteen and a half percent, four 737 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 3: hundred four dollars seventy eight a liter, Cheese up thirty percent, 738 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 3: eggs up eighteen and a half percent, almost ten bucks 739 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 3: a dozen Now instant coffee was up twenty five percent, 740 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 3: But that's discussing anyways. Who cares? Brad Olson, infa Metric's 741 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 3: principal economists, wasn't me Hey, Brad, good afternoon. So surprise 742 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 3: is still going up. 743 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 12: Yeah, life is still pretty expensive. That the good news 744 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 12: is as we head into summer, you're seeing some areas 745 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 12: of relief, the likes of fruit and vegetables becoming a 746 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 12: bit cheaper as we get into that better growing season. 747 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 12: But look, as you're thinking of, you know, Christmas sort 748 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 12: of lunch or dinner, I don't think you're going to 749 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 12: be wanting to put the likes of mince paddies or 750 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 12: steak on the barbie or ething, given that those have increased. 751 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 12: In fact, a couple of months ago, right, we were 752 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 12: talking a lot about butter. Mince now the new butter 753 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 12: in a sense, given that though that's increased, I think 754 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 12: it's now twenty three bucks of kilo for that. So 755 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 12: your staples are still really expensive. They continue to go up, 756 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 12: So still pretty challenging for a lot of household. 757 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 3: How are you saying go vegan? 758 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 12: No, I'm saying maybe shop around, because while the likes 759 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 12: of beef and lamb and even fish has increased, the 760 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 12: likes of pork and chicken hasn't shifted all that much, 761 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 12: so that there's a little bit of option on the table. 762 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 12: The one that worries me though, that we don't talk 763 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 12: about a lot, is the fact that electricity price inflation 764 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,919 Speaker 12: is currently running it its fastest since nineteen eighty nine. 765 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 12: Like that stuff's really starting to hit households and you 766 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 12: can't avoid that cost. 767 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 3: Right, So what does this do to the overall inflation number. 768 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 3: Before the end of the year, we were going to 769 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 3: hit three percent over three percent, Well, we're there at 770 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:57,760 Speaker 3: the moment. 771 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 12: We expect things to come down, but that's more Yes, 772 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 12: you've got the likes of your food price inflation that's 773 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 12: still running hot, electricity and similar as well. The challenge 774 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 12: that I think I'm finding when you look at the 775 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 12: headline numbers, the price of like a couch or your 776 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 12: fridge or a phone or similar are coming down. That's good, 777 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 12: but how many of those are we buying each week? 778 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 12: It's the really essential stuff that you're paying very very frequently, 779 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 12: your electricity, your food and similar that's continuing to hit. 780 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 12: So although headline inflation might be in a better place 781 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 12: going forward, the cost of living challenge for households doing 782 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 12: it day by day is still going to be tough bred. 783 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 3: Thank you, Brad Olson in for Metrics thirteen after five. 784 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 3: Now I'll take you to Kindala in Wellington. And the 785 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 3: reason I say Kandala is because it's the renuw earer 786 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 3: of Wellington. It's the nice area, it's the flash area. 787 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 3: It's on the hill and the hoity torty people live 788 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 3: there and they're complaining because that's what hoity torchy people do, complain, 789 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 3: and they're complaining about planes. So a couple of years 790 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 3: ago the flight path was changed. This is for Wellington 791 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 3: Airport for planes that are taking off and heading north. 792 00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 3: Flight flight path gets changed. Planes were going over Newlands, 793 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 3: which is like, oh, I don't know, I'm loathed to 794 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 3: make a comparison actually at this point, but Newland's not 795 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 3: as nice Candala quite nice. So flight plan gets changed 796 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 3: for safety reasons, not actually really sure why. But now 797 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,800 Speaker 3: there are thirty eight planes of a morning taking off 798 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 3: six am. The first one eighty decibels. Is there's one 799 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 3: particular woman who was interviewed says from six am, I've 800 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 3: got thirty eight planes taking off daily and it's eighty 801 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 3: decibels even with air plugs in bed. I'm woken up. 802 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 3: So what do we think, Shut up Candala or dump 803 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 3: it on Newlands? How do we feel I presumably there 804 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 3: is a specific reason that this has happened. It's a 805 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 3: safety reason, and you can't sort of unfart as it were. 806 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,240 Speaker 3: But it's just always nice to hear people complaining, isn't it. 807 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,760 Speaker 3: Fourteen after five news talks, Bill look at the Uber 808 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 3: case out of the Supreme Court next.

First Union will now progress with 834 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 3: collective bargaining on behalf of the drivers and need to 835 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 3: rose and traders with US workers. First Union Deputy Secretary 836 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 3: Anita Good evening, Hi, Ryan, So what rights do they 837 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 3: now have? 838 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 6: So they have the same rights that any other employee 839 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 6: has in New Zealand, I mean the big ones that 840 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 6: you know most people would think of a minimum wage, 841 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 6: annual leave, you know, other types of leaves sickly can 842 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 6: we save a contributions. A big one for Uber drivers 843 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 6: is they now have rights around you know, job protection, 844 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 6: so Uber shouldn't be able to just dismiss them at 845 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 6: the drop of the hat without going through any due process. 846 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 6: So it's a really important one for them. 847 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 3: So for these four employees, obviously significant ruling. But what 848 00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 3: about You've got about one thousand members who are drive 849 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 3: and ubers. Have I got that right? 850 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right? 851 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 3: So what about them? What happens now to their situation? 852 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 6: So we've already lodged with the Employment Relations Authority claims 853 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 6: on behalf of all of our current members, and we'll 854 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 6: continue to lodge as new drivers join, basically saying that 855 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 6: we think the company owes the money for everything that 856 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 6: they should have received already if the company was properly 857 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 6: recognizing them as employees the whole way along. So the 858 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 6: Authority has been waiting for the Supreme Court's decision before 859 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 6: they started any work on these claims. But now that 860 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 6: we've got that, they'll launch into a process to calculate 861 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 6: exactly what it is that Uber owes those people. So 862 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 6: that's a really important process we'll go through. And then 863 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 6: obviously we're also looking to collect a fleet bagain with Uber, 864 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 6: and this is really the future focused part of it. 865 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 6: We sort of like look back and think, Okay, you 866 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 6: know they're owed a certain amount of money, let's let's 867 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 6: fix that up. But what about the system going forwards? 868 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 6: Clearly it's not been working for people go through the 869 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 6: collective bargaining process. We really want to improve the Erber 870 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 6: system for all drivers in New Zealand. 871 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 3: And these to how much are we talking here total 872 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 3: for these workers? Hundreds of millions potentially, I mean potentially. 873 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 6: It's really hard to say at this point because it's 874 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 6: totally contingent on how much driving they've done. So the 875 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 6: more driving a driver has done, the longer they've been 876 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 6: engaged with Uber, the more likely they are to be 877 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 6: old a more significant amount of money and then lack waves. 878 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 6: With drivers who've only just started or who drives part time, 879 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 6: they're going to be olde less. But yes, we're looking 880 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 6: at a very very large bills ober. 881 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 3: What happens if you are an Uber driver and you 882 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 3: want to take it you don't want to work today? 883 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 3: Does that mean, you know, can you just do you 884 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 3: have apply for leave if you're if you're an employee, 885 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 3: you'd have to right. 886 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,319 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean at the moment, you don't have to 887 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 6: do that if you're driving for Uber. But what we've 888 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 6: done is that the reality is is that you if 889 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,479 Speaker 6: you want to make any money, all driving for Uber, 890 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 6: and what you tend to do is you fall in 891 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,959 Speaker 6: line and drive the hours that they want you to drive. 892 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 6: So it's no coincidence that most drivers who do it 893 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 6: full time end up working like, for example, Friday night, 894 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,439 Speaker 6: Saturday night and rush hour. 895 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 3: But that's when people want to drive the hours. 896 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 6: Those aren't the hours date, but those aren't the hours 897 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 6: that they want to work. 898 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 3: If you don't drive an Uber, I'm sorry, I need 899 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,760 Speaker 3: to don't drive an Uber. Those are the hours people 900 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 3: want the cars. 901 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 6: I mean the thing I'm not saying nobody should be 902 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 6: driving those hours. And absolutely that's when the work is. 903 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 6: That's when the work needs to be done. That's when 904 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 6: people need to drive. But there's nothing to say that 905 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 6: people shouldn't be earning minimum wage to do that work, right, 906 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 6: that's it's just not right, the right thing to do. 907 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 6: A crap ton of money in our country. They can 908 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 6: surely get there. 909 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 3: Is no drivers, there's no doubt about that. But what's 910 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 3: your message to people who use Uber? Because there this 911 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 3: will put their prices up right? 912 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 6: Well, not necessarily because Uber has been operating this model 913 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 6: all over the world, and there's been a whole bunch 914 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 6: of different you know, attacks on it and approaches to it, 915 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,319 Speaker 6: and they have threatened that everywhere they've gone. As that said, 916 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 6: you know, any kind of challenge to our business model 917 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 6: will put prices up and we might pull out of 918 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 6: the country and so on and so forth. But more 919 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 6: often than you've actually just seen them continue to operate 920 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 6: the way that they've always operated. So and like we said, 921 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 6: there's a whole heap of money going to this company 922 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 6: at the moment. At the moment, it's about priorities, right, 923 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 6: they can choose to put the money where it should 924 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 6: be going, which is in the pockets of their drivers 925 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 6: and people who are actually bringing the money in with 926 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 6: their services. 927 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,320 Speaker 3: Nita, appreciate your time. Nita roseentraded with us from first 928 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 3: Union time is five twenty three. What about D D 929 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 3: and bolts is this Texter? Yeah? I agree. The Uber 930 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 3: drivers can switch between I mean, if a working relationship, 931 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 3: if you're an employee, it's like a marriage, and if 932 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 3: you're a contractor, it's like you're still in the dating pool, 933 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. You can go and go 934 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 3: on as many dates with as many different people as 935 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 3: you like. No one's going to care once you're married. 936 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 3: That's a problem. Same thing with a employee verse contract 937 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 3: of relationship. And the Uber drivers have been free to 938 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 3: go and flip between the dds and the bolts, and 939 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 3: they was it alla for a while there. That was 940 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,359 Speaker 3: one of the So can you really call them employees? Well, 941 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 3: the courts say yeah you can. Five twenty three News TALKSB. 942 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,240 Speaker 1: The name you trust to get the answers you need, 943 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: it's Ryan Bridge on either duplessy Ellen Drive with one 944 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: New Zealand coverage like no one else. 945 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 3: News TALKSB five twenty six. Couple of things from this 946 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 3: morning's poll on the capital gains tax from the Herald. Basically, 947 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 3: we're evenly split, which is a bit of a win 948 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,319 Speaker 3: for labor because it's not a disaster for them in 949 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 3: the sense that there's no great revolution against a capital 950 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 3: gains tax brewing out there. But the results are interesting. 951 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 3: The details of the results are interesting. So more Aucklanders 952 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 3: hate the capital gains tax than the rest of the country. 953 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 3: Forty five percent of Jaffer's oppose it, only thirty two 954 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 3: percent supported. Now this is important because Auckland holds the 955 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 3: keys to the kingdom electorally. Labour found that out in 956 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 3: their stunning defeat at the polls two years ago. You'll remember, 957 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 3: so if you're national, that's where you focus your anti 958 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 3: capital gains tax campaign. Also interesting and the herald peace 959 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 3: on the pom What makes this point this morning? In 960 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 3: areas where people are doing well, where house prices haven't caved, 961 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 3: there's more support for it. In areas feeling poor because 962 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 3: their house price has fallen through the fore like Auckland, 963 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,839 Speaker 3: they don't like it. So basically you have squeezed middle 964 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 3: voters telling you they feel too poor to support another tax, 965 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 3: and so you end up with this fight between people 966 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 3: who like the sound of an idea in a poll 967 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 3: and people who feel it will threaten their chance of 968 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,240 Speaker 3: growing wealth or saving full retirement and like it although 969 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 3: that property is a vehicle that people have been using 970 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 3: to do that. Then you've got to ask yourself, will 971 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,480 Speaker 3: the tax do what it says on the label? Will 972 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 3: it pay for millions of extra doctors' visits as we've 973 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,439 Speaker 3: been promised? Where will these doctors magically appear from? Does 974 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 3: this party have a good track record with delivering on promises, 975 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 3: particularly if they tell you how much, but not really 976 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,839 Speaker 3: detail on how you could look at this poll and 977 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 3: you could think, well, this is a win for the 978 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 3: capital gains and it is sort of, but there's plenty 979 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 3: of fodder for an anti capital gains tax campaign which 980 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 3: is no doubt being workshopped by some ad agency in 981 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 3: Grayland for the National Party as we speak, Ryan five 982 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 3: twenty eight, it's good to have your company now. The 983 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,320 Speaker 3: airport and Wellington and Kendala. If you missed the story earlier, 984 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,839 Speaker 3: it's the fancy suburban Wellington. They're complaining about the noise. Ryan. 985 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 3: You can't buy a house and near an airport and 986 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 3: then complain about the planes going overhead. That's the problem. 987 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 3: It's not near the airport. And initially when they bought 988 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 3: their houses, it wasn't going overhead. You're on news talks here, big. 989 00:49:43,520 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 17: News and then the panel. 990 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in 991 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: your car on your drive home, Ryan Bridge, on either 992 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 1: dupericy Ellen drive with one New Zealand and of power 993 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 1: of satellite mobile news talks, they'd be. 994 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 18: It's hard to see twenty. 995 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 3: Four away from sexy on news talks, they'd be it's 996 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 3: great to have your company on a Monday evening, Convita 997 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 3: in a world of trouble, a world of pain, and 998 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,920 Speaker 3: that takeover bid well not happening is that the shareholders 999 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 3: voted it down. Fifty four point twenty nine percent of 1000 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,320 Speaker 3: shareholders voted for it and seventy five percent was required. 1001 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,279 Speaker 3: So even though you've got more than half the shareholders 1002 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 3: wanting to do the deal, you need a supermajority, what 1003 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,880 Speaker 3: we would call them politics. A supermajority didn't happen. So 1004 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,240 Speaker 3: what happens now for Convita? Will speak to the chief executive, 1005 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 3: Carl Grayden. He's on the show after six this. 1006 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 2: Evening, Ryan Bridge. 1007 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 3: More than two hundred schools have reaffirmed their commitment to 1008 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,320 Speaker 3: the Treaty of White Tangy, the Tidity or White Tangy. 1009 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 3: This is after the government removed the requirement for school 1010 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 3: boards to uphold it. Christopher and spoke about it with 1011 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 3: Hosking on ZRE'DB this morning. It's just the. 1012 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 15: Wrong conversation to be having. That's what parents should be 1013 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 15: pushing those boards damn hard on because I'm assuming then 1014 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 15: they've got outstanding academic achievement, outstanding attendance records. 1015 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 3: That is what they have to be focused on. Now. 1016 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 3: Kate Kettle is the Queen's High School board chair. They've 1017 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 3: reaffirmed their commitment, joins me. Now, Kate, good evening. 1018 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 19: How are you Ryan? 1019 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 3: Very well? Thank you Kate. What is that reaffirming your 1020 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 3: commitment to the treaty? What does that change for a student? 1021 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 19: What does it change for a student? Well, it doesn't 1022 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 19: actually change a lot, because for a long time now, 1023 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:44,799 Speaker 19: schools have been building and weaving into treaty and all 1024 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 19: the principles of divers inclosure that entails into our curriculum 1025 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 19: and our way of being at our schools. 1026 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 3: But the ministry sets the curriculum though, oh. 1027 00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 19: The minister, yes they do. 1028 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 3: So what are you changing? What are you changing? 1029 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 20: Well, we're not. 1030 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 19: Actually, My point is we're not actually changing anything. We're 1031 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,479 Speaker 19: just continuing on with the focus that we've been asked 1032 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 19: to do in the last few years, which, yeah. 1033 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 3: Honoring the Treaty, but not actually doing anything, just honoring, 1034 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 3: just saying you're honor it, but not changing anything. Is 1035 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:21,560 Speaker 3: that right? 1036 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 19: Well, the point being that we when we're honoring it, 1037 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 19: we are weaving that into our strategies that schools are 1038 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 19: supposed to do. It's not just about necessarily offering classes 1039 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 19: in today or having Copper Harker groups. It's about offering 1040 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 19: a teaching our education users, our people of tomorrow about 1041 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 19: how to have a worldview that's our understanding of different cultures, so. 1042 00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,800 Speaker 3: Not just Maori culture Indian. 1043 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 2: Well. 1044 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 19: The thing is that when you are given the perspective 1045 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 19: of any culture that is different from yours, or any 1046 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 19: different worldview, it teaches you the skills of having an 1047 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 19: open mind, of being able to appreciate how other people 1048 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,799 Speaker 19: look at things. You can become more understanding, more responsive. 1049 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 3: Okay, this is all good stuff. I totally appreciate that, 1050 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 3: and we need that in our schools because students need 1051 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:30,400 Speaker 3: to be well rounded. But how does you reaffirming a 1052 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 3: commitment to a to honor a treaty that you do 1053 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 3: not do anything practical with. How has that been I 1054 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 3: just don't understand. Can you not do that without honoring 1055 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 3: the treaty and reaffirming your commitment to it. 1056 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 19: I think the point is that we're at and to 1057 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 19: tell focus fully on academic outcomes and attendance is not 1058 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,719 Speaker 19: providing our students with a holistic approach to education. It's 1059 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:09,279 Speaker 19: not empowering every type of luna. We are actually actively 1060 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 19: in the decisions our schools make, for example, and setting 1061 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 19: our values, which sets our strategic goals, which underpins how 1062 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 19: our schools approach the curriculum. That's the way in which 1063 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 19: we honor to TVT and the principles that follow from there. 1064 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 3: Okay, just curious your school. What's your attendance record and 1065 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 3: your achievement record? 1066 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 19: Bike, They are definitely on par with other schools around 1067 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 19: our region. 1068 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 2: National. 1069 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 19: Yeah, we're proud of our results. 1070 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 3: What are the results? 1071 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 19: Off the top of my head, I don't know. That 1072 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 19: is something that we monitor from board meeting to board meeting, 1073 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,439 Speaker 19: and I don't have those to hand. 1074 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 3: I'm afraid, Kate, appreciate your time. Kate Kettle, who's the 1075 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 3: Queen's High School board chair, reaffirming their commitment to the 1076 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 3: Treaty nine team to six the huddle. 1077 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 1: With New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, a name you can 1078 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,240 Speaker 1: trust locally and globally. 1079 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,000 Speaker 3: Joining me this evening, Josie Beganni's CEO at Child Fund 1080 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 3: Josie Good Evening, Hello, good to see you, and Thomas 1081 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 3: Scrimmer's here from the Maximums to Thomas Good evening today. 1082 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,799 Speaker 3: Ryan thoughts on that, Josie, Well, I don't. 1083 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 21: Think it's really changing much. It's just removing it as 1084 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 21: a mandatory obligation for school board of trustees to reflect 1085 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,919 Speaker 21: their honoring of the treaty and so they can still 1086 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 21: do it as these schools are. So I don't know 1087 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 21: that it's that big an issue. I do think for 1088 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 21: the government there's a two things. There's a feeling that 1089 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 21: they're picking cultural fights they probably don't need to have, 1090 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 21: yes agreed, and it's partly that you know, it gets votes, 1091 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 21: that's right. But I think I'm thinking of Jim Boldery, 1092 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 21: actually the late Jim Boulder. He's saying to me just 1093 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,000 Speaker 21: a few weeks before he died, you know, why why 1094 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 21: are they cutting you know, Terio mar Why do they 1095 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 21: have to do that? This is a National Party former 1096 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 21: Prime minister who brought in the treaty settlement process. So 1097 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 21: I do think u Zialad just don't want a culture 1098 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 21: war on the left. 1099 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:05,920 Speaker 1: Or the right. 1100 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 3: No, I agree, So I think they should just let 1101 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:07,880 Speaker 3: it go. 1102 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,240 Speaker 21: But the other thing is, you know, there isn't teachers 1103 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 21: need to I think probably stop being quite so militant 1104 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,800 Speaker 21: as they are I'm picking a fight with the government 1105 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 21: every single ye every time, and they're just going to 1106 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:19,360 Speaker 21: turn people. 1107 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 12: Off all that. 1108 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 3: Thomas. Let's talk about the capital gains tax. So we 1109 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 3: had this poll today and it said basically, we're a 1110 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 3: bobb each way or even Stevens. Thirty nine percent I 1111 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,600 Speaker 3: think agree with it. This is Labour's plan. Thirty nine 1112 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,800 Speaker 3: percent oppose it. But it wasn't a disaster like it 1113 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,759 Speaker 3: should be a disaster for Labor. They should go, oh, 1114 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 3: capital gains tax. Labor's texting, Oh, we're running away, but 1115 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 3: people aren't running away. Yeah for sure. 1116 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,879 Speaker 22: I mean if I was a Labor political strategist, I'd 1117 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,120 Speaker 22: be feeling really good about that result. Like you say, 1118 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 22: sort of fairly mixed bag in terms of public opinion, 1119 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,359 Speaker 22: which for a new tax, is a pretty good thing 1120 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 22: and I think also pretty smart on their part to 1121 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 22: launch it so far out. I think it's hard to 1122 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,640 Speaker 22: sustain animosity to any policy of over such a long 1123 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,400 Speaker 22: period of time, so the new Zitald public will probably 1124 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,200 Speaker 22: get used to it. And the other thing Labor did 1125 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 22: was exclude the family home, which I think from at 1126 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,800 Speaker 22: a policy level doesn't make sense, but politically it really 1127 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 22: does because it kind of dilutes some of the animosity. 1128 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 22: The only really mistake they made, I think is not 1129 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 22: accounting for inflation, and the reason that they don't want 1130 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,640 Speaker 22: to is that they want more revenue from it. But 1131 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 22: it means you could still sell your house for a 1132 00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 22: loss and be taxed on your loss, which is probably 1133 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:30,919 Speaker 22: not ideal. 1134 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 3: Certainly not, Josie, what's your take on it? Because we've 1135 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,960 Speaker 3: had poles out, we've had the ipsoce thing today, and 1136 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 3: when I go to parties, my friends, my lefty friends say, oh, 1137 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 3: this is great. 1138 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 21: Do you have some lefty friends? 1139 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:42,040 Speaker 23: Right? 1140 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 3: Most of my friends are big, giant lefties, big lovies, 1141 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 3: and they say, all, this is great because the other 1142 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 3: side's getting screwed at the moment, you know, and they 1143 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 3: love it. But then my friends on the right they say, 1144 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 3: please please tell us this is not going the way 1145 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 3: we think it's. The poles tell us it's going. What 1146 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 3: do you think? 1147 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 21: Well, the polls is of all over the place, aren't they. 1148 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 21: I mean that latest poll well, I mean that government 1149 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 21: rating was about three point nine out of ten. 1150 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 4: That's really low. 1151 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:10,880 Speaker 21: I mean, if I got a rating like that as 1152 00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,800 Speaker 21: a CEO of a charity, I'd be out in my ear. 1153 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 21: Having said that, it said, I think one of the 1154 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,640 Speaker 21: IPSIS polls was, oh, this is the worst worst ranking 1155 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 21: for a government since twenty seventeen, which actually isn't that bad. 1156 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 21: I remember twenty seventeen, and I do think I think 1157 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 21: Labor have to be careful sonment. The government's got a problem. 1158 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 21: I don't think people understand what national is for, what 1159 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 21: the coalition government is for. It's growth, but they don't 1160 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 21: see that cascading into their own incomes or their own 1161 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 21: job opportunities, or cost of living, all of that stuff. 1162 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,000 Speaker 21: So they're just not seeing it. And that's a problem 1163 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,800 Speaker 21: for the government ring And the problem for labor is 1164 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,760 Speaker 21: they this is good for them, That CGT polling is 1165 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 21: really good for them, because I would have expected it 1166 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,080 Speaker 21: to be much worse. If you ask people, do you 1167 00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 21: like attacks like CGT, of course I's in the same 1168 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 21: So it tells me that there's actually quite a lot 1169 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 21: of support out there. 1170 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 3: Something shift out. 1171 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 21: But Labour has to be careful Ryan that they don't 1172 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,560 Speaker 21: do a Peter Dutton in Australia, where he was leading 1173 00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 21: in the polls for two years because it was an 1174 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 21: anti government vote. Really in the polls and then suddenly, 1175 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 21: you know, the coalition in Australia and the Liberal Party 1176 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 21: lost dramatically in Albanesi and Labor will voted back in. 1177 00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 21: So Labour have to be careful they don't read this 1178 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 21: as one hundred percent vote for them. It's also a 1179 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 21: vote against the government. 1180 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 3: Don't take it for granted. Josie Bigani, Thomas Scrimser on 1181 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 3: The Huddle back in a second, News talksb. 1182 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 2: The Huddle with. 1183 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 1: New Zealand Southeby's International Realty the only truly global brand. 1184 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 3: Twelve to six. Josie Beganney and Thomas Scrimger on The 1185 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:50,240 Speaker 3: Huddle tonight. Thomas the Uber case. So the Supreme Court 1186 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 3: has sort of upheld the appeals fallen over this is 1187 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 3: whether an Uber employee or an Uber driver is an 1188 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,680 Speaker 3: employee or or a contractor. They are going to be 1189 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 3: these four at least considered employees and that will mean well, 1190 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,960 Speaker 3: probably have big implications for the workers. Although the government's 1191 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 3: trying to legislate in this area. 1192 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 22: Your thoughts, Yeah, I think there's two issues here really. 1193 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 22: I mean that the first is whether the judges of 1194 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 22: the Supreme Court have correctly interpreted the law as it stands, 1195 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 22: and I don't really have a view either way on that. 1196 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 22: But I think at the more fundamental level is an 1197 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 22: uber driver and employee, I just can't really see how 1198 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,479 Speaker 22: they are. I mean, they choose what jobs they take, 1199 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 22: they are under no obligation to keep accepting jobs, they 1200 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 22: can knock off when they want, they can work for 1201 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 22: a competitor. All of these things are really classical. What 1202 01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 22: is an independent contractor? If Uber drivers are employees not contractors, 1203 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 22: I actually don't know what an independent contractor even is. 1204 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 22: So I think it's probably fair enough that the government 1205 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,480 Speaker 22: is looking to legislate in this case to bring clarity 1206 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 22: because clearly the courts have seen that under the law 1207 01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,720 Speaker 22: as they read it, they are employees. But I just 1208 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,080 Speaker 22: don't see how that's a sustainable interpretation. They quite clearly 1209 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 22: are contractors in my view. 1210 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't fit my deffinitely what I think of 1211 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 3: when I think of an employee, Josie. 1212 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 6: So I think there's a difference. 1213 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,240 Speaker 21: I think there's a difference between a self employed person. 1214 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 21: So I've been self employed before. When I'm self employed, yep, 1215 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 21: I set my own hours, I pay for my own holidays. 1216 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 21: If I'm sick I don't work and I don't get paid, 1217 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 21: but I can negotiate my rate, and I can negotiate 1218 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 21: my conditions. I think the difference with things like Uber 1219 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 21: drivers is they can't negotiate their. 1220 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,200 Speaker 3: Their rates, their price takers. 1221 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 21: No, so that they are in many ways like employees. 1222 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 21: They have to work, you know, they have to work 1223 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 21: to a certain rate, they have to work according to 1224 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:44,919 Speaker 21: the conditions that Uber set. 1225 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 3: Okay, so that's a bit different, Josie. When I signed, 1226 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,080 Speaker 3: because I've worked as a contractor, it's self employed, a 1227 01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:55,280 Speaker 3: contractor and an employee. When I'm a contractor, these guys, 1228 01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 3: the bosses here, make me sign all these things that 1229 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:00,960 Speaker 3: say I won't go and work for anyone else, you know, 1230 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 3: like I'm exclusive to them, whereas these Uber drivers can 1231 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 3: run around with DEDI and Bolton whoever the hell else 1232 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 3: they like. 1233 01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 21: So I think, I and you're right, this legislation coming 1234 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:11,840 Speaker 21: up on this, but I think it's about not so 1235 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 21: much saying a contractor is an employee, but that a 1236 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,400 Speaker 21: contractor has the rights of workers, certain rights that certain 1237 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,560 Speaker 21: workers that most workers have. Anyway, so you could negotiate 1238 01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 21: something like the ability to get legal advice before you 1239 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 21: sign a contract or the you know, could make that mandatory. 1240 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,000 Speaker 21: It could be things like some minimum standards around you 1241 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 21: won't work fifteen hours ago. 1242 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, rather than I do think it. 1243 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 21: Needs it does need addressing. It's not as simple as 1244 01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,400 Speaker 21: to say one is a contractor one's employee. It's more complicated. 1245 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 3: Thomas Kandala residents and Wellington are really upset about the 1246 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,200 Speaker 3: planes flying over their houses. And they used to fly 1247 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 3: over Newtown and Candala's much nice and Dalada Darling is 1248 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 3: how they say in Wellington. Got any sympathy for them? 1249 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 22: Oh, I sympathize and so far as I think it's 1250 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 22: probably not that nice to have a plane flying over 1251 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 22: your head at all hours of the day, and they 1252 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 22: previously didn't. But I don't know what their redress they 1253 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,960 Speaker 22: want to have is that the move was because of 1254 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 22: safety reasons. This is a better flight path. Previously different 1255 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 22: residents had to deal with planes. They live in the 1256 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 22: broad vicinity of an airport and planes need to land. 1257 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 22: To complain about this is to say I think other 1258 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 22: people should experience this thing. 1259 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 3: I don't like. 1260 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,160 Speaker 22: I don't want to experience it myself. I mean, I 1261 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,600 Speaker 22: live in west Auckland, I have a police helicopter over 1262 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 22: my house every other night of the week. 1263 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 21: Plus stop committing so much crime, and then that's. 1264 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 22: Not so much me as my dearly beloved neighbors who 1265 01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 22: seem to be attracting the attention of the police helicopter. 1266 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:45,440 Speaker 22: But what is the redress here that it gets moved 1267 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 22: to other residents. If we have an airport in a city, 1268 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,880 Speaker 22: the planes have to land. I just don't see what 1269 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 22: they're asking for. 1270 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 21: Yeah, that's absolutely right. If you have an airport in 1271 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 21: a city, you're going to have planes flying over the city. 1272 01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 21: And I'm sick of people with nice lives and lovely houses. Great, 1273 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 21: I have a nice life in a lovely house, but 1274 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 21: constantly complaining. I wanted to say that they want the 1275 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 21: poor people to feel and hear the noise and not 1276 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 21: live in a house and not have intensification, and for 1277 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,920 Speaker 21: goodness sake, tough enough. But I have actually got a 1278 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 21: solution to this, that they should put the airport. I'm 1279 01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 21: very happy for the airport to move to Karpati, where 1280 01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,520 Speaker 21: I live, and then they can, you know, move it there, 1281 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 21: and then they won't have any planes. 1282 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,439 Speaker 3: It'll be wycnized problem.

Now. That is up from forty 1293 01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,360 Speaker 3: eight point three percent in September, which means that we 1294 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 3: are going back We are going backwards more slowly, but 1295 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 3: we are still going backwards. You need a number over 1296 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,360 Speaker 3: fifty to show expansion. We are not quite there. It's 1297 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 3: been twenty straight months of contraction for the services sector. 1298 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 3: We had manufacturing out on Friday, of course, and that's 1299 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 3: back and positive, which is all good news.

Minister, good evening, good evening, Good 1319 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 3: to have you on the show. Let's start with this 1320 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,919 Speaker 3: polling around the capital gains tax. What do you think 1321 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 3: does it look like you'll in the IPSOS polling, it 1322 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:37,800 Speaker 3: looks like you've lost. 1323 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 20: The room well on the capital gains tax. You can 1324 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 20: see that already significant numbers of people oppose that tax, 1325 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 20: and I tell you what, between now an election day, 1326 01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,480 Speaker 20: we will have a lot more opportunities to point out 1327 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 20: the significant negative effects that will have on groups of 1328 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 20: voters in the economy. So I expect the numbers and 1329 01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:00,200 Speaker 20: support will continue to fall. 1330 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 3: But the numbers and support are the same as the 1331 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 3: ones apposed, aren't they. 1332 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 20: There's also a big undecided group in the middle run, 1333 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,440 Speaker 20: and those are the people that we will be speaking 1334 01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,120 Speaker 20: to between now and the election. And I also think 1335 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 20: some of the people who may at this stage be 1336 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 20: saying they support it haven't yet recognized the impact it 1337 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 20: could have on them, their family, their business, their employer. 1338 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,480 Speaker 20: And so we have a job between now and the 1339 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,800 Speaker 20: election to make sure everyone understands what labour are threatening 1340 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:27,440 Speaker 20: to do. 1341 01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 3: Are you convincing though? Do you think you're convincing, because 1342 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 3: I think. 1343 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,880 Speaker 20: It's pretty convincing that labor have a track record, which 1344 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,360 Speaker 20: is they waste a heck of a load of money, 1345 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:39,640 Speaker 20: then they run out of money, so they come after 1346 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,040 Speaker 20: your money, and whenever they say they're going to do 1347 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 20: a little tax, they end up doing a big tax. 1348 01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 3: This makes sense. 1349 01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,160 Speaker 20: Everyone understands insure well it an additional tax, isn't good 1350 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,840 Speaker 20: for any But this is the problem. 1351 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 3: You have been saying this for two years now. Do 1352 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:56,040 Speaker 3: people actually think that or are I When you look 1353 01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,120 Speaker 3: at the EPSOCE poll, you're no longer the most trusted 1354 01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 3: party on the economy, You're no longer the most trusted 1355 01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 3: party on the cost of living, You're no longer the 1356 01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,000 Speaker 3: most trusted party on most issues. 1357 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,440 Speaker 20: Well, I think in terms of that IPSOS pole, it 1358 01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 20: is at a point in time where I think many 1359 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,720 Speaker 20: of us, me and the government are included, want to 1360 01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 20: see the economy performing better. It's at one point in time. 1361 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,360 Speaker 20: It's one pole between now an election day. There are 1362 01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:24,080 Speaker 20: twelve months to go. I'm confident the economy will be 1363 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 20: performing a lot better over the next few months. And 1364 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,280 Speaker 20: when New zealand Is are faced with the basic question, 1365 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 20: who do you trust to strengthen the economy going forward? 1366 01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 20: The people who got us into the mess with all 1367 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 20: of the extra debt and inflation and the rapidly rising 1368 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,080 Speaker 20: interest rates, or the people have had to do the 1369 01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 20: hard yards of digging us out of that, who have 1370 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:48,200 Speaker 20: actually delivered stable inflation, dropped interest rates and a growing economy. 1371 01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 20: I think they will choose national. 1372 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:53,200 Speaker 3: Thanks for letting us know the elections in November much appreciated, 1373 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,880 Speaker 3: Minister A year or so from now know you said 1374 01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,600 Speaker 3: twelve months minister, So I am listen to that, but 1375 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 3: you know. 1376 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,240 Speaker 20: You know it's not my promise to make though it's 1377 01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:03,800 Speaker 20: the Prime Minister. 1378 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,000 Speaker 3: Oh, I know, you don't have to.

When did you 1390 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:49,959 Speaker 3: find out? 1391 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:56,400 Speaker 20: Well, I was briefed that there was the conduct complaint 1392 01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:00,000 Speaker 20: going on, and around December I was informed by Andrew 1393 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 20: Costa that he was being interviewed as part of that investigation. 1394 01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,800 Speaker 20: And it has always been my position and other Minister's 1395 01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 20: position that that investigation needed to be conducted thoroughly and fairly, 1396 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 20: and that no one should be leaping to any conclusions 1397 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,479 Speaker 20: about it until it had conducted its process. 1398 01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 3: So you were saying, Minister, you weren't told by your 1399 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,960 Speaker 3: colleague Mark Mitchell anything to do with this until December. 1400 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,680 Speaker 20: No, what I'm saying is that Andrew Costa informed me 1401 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,160 Speaker 20: in December that he was being interviewed as part process. 1402 01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:35,720 Speaker 20: I had, I asked. 1403 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,719 Speaker 3: When you found out? Right? So when did you find out? 1404 01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 23: Well? 1405 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:43,720 Speaker 20: I you recall at that time was the Public Services 1406 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,320 Speaker 20: Minister and so as part of that, of course the 1407 01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 20: mix skimming appointment had been put on hold, and so 1408 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:55,160 Speaker 20: I've been informed of the IPCA investigations in that capacity. 1409 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 3: Right, And yet so why did you, I mean, why 1410 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 3: did we let this opointment proceed? 1411 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 4: Which appointment of Costa? 1412 01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,280 Speaker 20: Well, as I said to you, he was appointed in 1413 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:13,040 Speaker 20: September and the complaint wasn't made to the IPCA until October. 1414 01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's contracted the start till November eleven. So 1415 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 3: you could have canned before. 1416 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,680 Speaker 20: We couldn't have, but ran we couldn't have prejudged what 1417 01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 20: the outcome of that investigation would be that would not 1418 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,759 Speaker 20: have been grass, that would have been mutual. 1419 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 3: So you knew there was something going on, but you 1420 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 3: couldn't You were powerless to do anything about it. Was that? 1421 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 3: Were you a bit worried? 1422 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 20: I certainly didn't know the conclusions that the report has made. 1423 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,599 Speaker 20: In particular, I didn't know that information had been withheld 1424 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 20: from the Public Service Commission about the nature of mix 1425 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:48,160 Speaker 20: Skimming's previous relationships. I didn't know that proper investigation had 1426 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,639 Speaker 20: not occurred into complaints that had been made. I didn't 1427 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:55,240 Speaker 20: know that attempts were made to rush that investigation and 1428 01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 20: indeed our the IPCA to conclude its findings quickly. None 1429 01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 20: of that was known to me. 1430 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 3: Now that you know it, do you trust them. 1431 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:07,439 Speaker 20: Now that I know it? I am concerned. As I've said, 1432 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 20: I was shocked and appalled when I read the conclusions 1433 01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,840 Speaker 20: of that report. And having read that report, I rang 1434 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,640 Speaker 20: the Public Service Commissioner to convey my views about its findings. 1435 01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 3: This UBER decision, the government's going to be legislating in 1436 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 3: this area anyway? Does that sort of because there's a 1437 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,320 Speaker 3: thousand UBER members who are union members who aren't part 1438 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 3: of this case, there's only four members part of this 1439 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 3: particular case, but it could have wider implications for all 1440 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,599 Speaker 3: unionized uber drivers. Would you stop that from happening? 1441 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 20: Well, we knew that there had been some certainty about 1442 01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,080 Speaker 20: this area of the law, which is why the government 1443 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,800 Speaker 20: had moved to provide more clarity so that everyone would 1444 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:49,200 Speaker 20: know where they stood going forward. The courts obviously have 1445 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,559 Speaker 20: made their decision, which we need to respect. I haven't 1446 01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 20: read the full judgment yet, so I can't give you 1447 01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:57,439 Speaker 20: an interpretation of its full impact. But in general, the 1448 01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:02,400 Speaker 20: government is very reluctant to retrospectively legislate on these matters. 1449 01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,840 Speaker 20: So our position would be about the arrangements going forward. 1450 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:10,799 Speaker 3: Carbon price, carbon market. The price of carbon units about 1451 01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,320 Speaker 3: sixty percent of what it was two weeks ago, even 1452 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,000 Speaker 3: before the government announced a bunch of changes, you know, 1453 01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,320 Speaker 3: decoupling all that sort of stuff. Is this market credible? 1454 01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you've got people coming out now saying basically, 1455 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 3: just cancel it. 1456 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,599 Speaker 20: Well, we are committed to the emissions trading system, and 1457 01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:30,440 Speaker 20: from our perspective, aligning the ets with our domestic targets 1458 01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 20: makes the most sense and is consistent with the law 1459 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,360 Speaker 20: which binds us on our mission reduction plans and actually 1460 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,360 Speaker 20: our decisions are in that nature are working.

This is thirteen weeks 1512 01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:24,840 Speaker 25: odd number on a to the second. In November they 1513 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 25: sales there were six hundred and seventy four million. That 1514 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,719 Speaker 25: was on the zero point nine percent on the previous 1515 01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,680 Speaker 25: corresponding perier. And if we strip out the number of 1516 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:34,720 Speaker 25: stores are open and the number of different days, it 1517 01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,719 Speaker 25: was pretty much flat plus zero point one. So pretty 1518 01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:41,680 Speaker 25: tough sales environment is continuing for the warehouse. The red 1519 01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,960 Speaker 25: seed margins down a little bit, obviously very competitive out there. 1520 01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,920 Speaker 25: They did announce a costs reset program. They're aiming to 1521 01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,800 Speaker 25: reduce their cost they're doing business to below thirty one 1522 01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:55,559 Speaker 25: percent of sales, down from thirty two point two. But 1523 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 25: you know, the market was a bit weirre about it. 1524 01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 25: Sheep rice that we have ship plosed down the zero 1525 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,760 Speaker 25: point six pers to seventy nine, seventy nine and a 1526 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:03,600 Speaker 25: half ashes there on. 1527 01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,960 Speaker 3: Now the PSI is still well. The warehouse might have 1528 01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,639 Speaker 3: groceries to sell soon. We'll have to wait and see 1529 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,360 Speaker 3: about that. Hey, the ps I number we got today, 1530 01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,519 Speaker 3: so we've got manufacturing on Friday, that's now positive territory great, 1531 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,400 Speaker 3: but the PSI is still not a bit better, but 1532 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 3: still contracting. 1533 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 25: That's right. So performance of Services index, it measures monthly 1534 01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 25: the survey of the services industry. It's really indicator on activity. 1535 01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,000 Speaker 25: If it's above fifty, it means it's expanding this below 1536 01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:30,839 Speaker 25: to debts contracting. 1537 01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 3: It ca it increased on. 1538 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,040 Speaker 25: The octave of month, that went up to forty eight 1539 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,839 Speaker 25: point seven, up zero point four, so up, but still 1540 01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,120 Speaker 25: because it's below fifty, it's still indicates that sector is 1541 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 25: still in tough times. It's still contracting. And you're right, 1542 01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 25: if we combine the services index with that more positive 1543 01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:52,439 Speaker 25: manufacturing index last week, we're starting to get to the 1544 01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:56,880 Speaker 25: point wherend where we're getting some positive indicators. The combo 1545 01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,280 Speaker 25: of the two suggests we get economic growth doune to 1546 01:17:59,320 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 25: come through. 1547 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,720 Speaker 3: Right, We're looking very busy week for market.

So we've 1551 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,320 Speaker 25: gone into this week pretty nervous markets for pretty weak 1552 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,640 Speaker 25: last week.

That's the first thing we 1649 01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,439 Speaker 26: need to do. And the board is very clear that 1650 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,760 Speaker 26: they've now got to work with urgency, with both our 1651 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:36,760 Speaker 26: lenders and advisors to deliver a plan big so as 1652 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,120 Speaker 26: it expects, they have been thinking about this for quite 1653 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:43,120 Speaker 26: some time as a contingency, quite a thoughtful board, and 1654 01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,679 Speaker 26: now the time is to act as a leadership team 1655 01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,479 Speaker 26: to deliver on the results, and the board is entirely 1656 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:50,760 Speaker 26: focused on the recapitalization. 1657 01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:52,960 Speaker 3: You don't sound too worried about this. Is there a 1658 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:54,320 Speaker 3: risk the company's going to fall over? 1659 01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:00,840 Speaker 26: I think that there is always collaboration to be had 1660 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,839 Speaker 26: with our lending partners. We will be requiring equity going forwards, 1661 01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 26: and I think that as a result of that, we 1662 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:15,200 Speaker 26: need to be always thinking about the future scenarios. We 1663 01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:18,080 Speaker 26: have a great brand, we have a great shareholder base, 1664 01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:21,720 Speaker 26: and at the end of the day, we need to 1665 01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,720 Speaker 26: continue to deliver on the promise. And the good thing 1666 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,439 Speaker 26: is in the last few months we have begun to 1667 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:31,880 Speaker 26: deliver against the potential of the brand and deliver what 1668 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:32,880 Speaker 26: we said we were going to do. 1669 01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:35,120 Speaker 3: Yes, that's the priority, No question about the brand. The 1670 01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 3: brand is really strong. How's that recapitalization going to work? 1671 01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:39,160 Speaker 3: Do you think? 1672 01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:44,240 Speaker 26: Well, I think it's a little bit early to actually 1673 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:48,479 Speaker 26: talk about that with any confidence. We're working alongside our 1674 01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:52,439 Speaker 26: landing partners. We're working alongside the board to ensure that 1675 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:55,719 Speaker 26: all options continue to be explored. They have been working 1676 01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,920 Speaker 26: on this and quite quite some time as a contingency. 1677 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,600 Speaker 26: We'll be able to put it back to the instex 1678 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 26: and to your listeners as soon as we have the 1679 01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 26: clarity on that. But so there is a lot of 1680 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:08,400 Speaker 26: work going on behind the scenes. 1681 01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 3: What options are you talking about, Curent, Well, we will 1682 01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 3: need to work alongside our lending partners. 1683 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,400 Speaker 26: We will need to go back out to market and 1684 01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:23,400 Speaker 26: potentially work on a recapitalization plan. And with that recapitalization 1685 01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 26: comes a whole series of options which i have not 1686 01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:28,640 Speaker 26: yet been fully explored. So we'll be working with our 1687 01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:32,679 Speaker 26: advisors and with our lenders to ensure that the brand 1688 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:33,519 Speaker 26: is able to thrive. 1689 01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:38,280 Speaker 3: Why is there an oversupply or a supply issue with 1690 01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:39,160 Speaker 3: Honey at the moment? 1691 01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:49,519 Speaker 26: The post COVID situation really hit the industry quite hard. 1692 01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 26: We had an oversupply of honey coming out of the 1693 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,760 Speaker 26: apiaries across the entire country. We had a surge in 1694 01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 26: high numbers which have since reduced significantly. 1695 01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:00,880 Speaker 17: And as the. 1696 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:08,439 Speaker 26: Global market was looking for natural solutions to boost the community, 1697 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,680 Speaker 26: they look to Monica Honey and that drove confidence that 1698 01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:16,320 Speaker 26: that would continue on That growth sold right at the 1699 01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:19,920 Speaker 26: time as people were investing in additional hives so now 1700 01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,799 Speaker 26: that we're seeing the high numbers reduce and our sales 1701 01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:27,759 Speaker 26: rates increase, we're actually confident that that is no longer 1702 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:29,840 Speaker 26: going to be the case. It will work through this 1703 01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 26: glut of honey we've had in the past, but it's 1704 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:38,360 Speaker 26: still overhanging us and I think it will take a 1705 01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:40,840 Speaker 26: few months for it to continue to flow through the system. 1706 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,000 Speaker 3: And Conveter will be around for a long time yet. 1707 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:44,439 Speaker 6: Well. 1708 01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:48,719 Speaker 26: Conveter is the number one brand globally in Monica Haney. 1709 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:54,080 Speaker 26: We have the best distribution network globally. We have trusted 1710 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 26: partners around the world, we have some great aparies, and 1711 01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:01,800 Speaker 26: we're highly innovative with science based So when you're in 1712 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,919 Speaker 26: our position, it is our brand that has the reputation, 1713 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:07,720 Speaker 26: and that's what we're going to continue to invest in. 1714 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:09,559 Speaker 26: And we love to be here for a very long time. 1715 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:11,759 Speaker 26: We've been here for fifty years and look to continue 1716 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:12,599 Speaker 26: to be here for other. 1717 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,960 Speaker 3: Fifty All right, Carl, Carl, to appreciate your time tonight, 1718 01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 3: Carl Graydon, who's convinced our chief executive it is twenty 1719 01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 3: to seven. It's quite crazy if you think about how 1720 01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:25,400 Speaker 3: little attention that we have to pay to illegal migration 1721 01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:27,479 Speaker 3: in this country when you compare us to the rest 1722 01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,160 Speaker 3: of the world. You know, everyone talks about the tyranny 1723 01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,559 Speaker 3: of distance. Well, such a bad thing. In the UK, 1724 01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:35,479 Speaker 3: Starmer and Labor are going hard on this. I'll have 1725 01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:37,000 Speaker 3: more on that in a second. In fact, we'll speak 1726 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,960 Speaker 3: to Gavin Graney, a UK correspondent, about that shortly. But 1727 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,479 Speaker 3: farage is basically pushing them further to the right. Look 1728 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,320 Speaker 3: at America, look at most of Europe. Elbow in Australia 1729 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,040 Speaker 3: and it's parties on left and right who are getting 1730 01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:51,439 Speaker 3: hard on illegal migration, which tells you there's an actual problem, 1731 01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 3: not just a perception of a problem. Look at Chili 1732 01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:59,040 Speaker 3: of all places. You know, Trump says South America is 1733 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,240 Speaker 3: the root of all of them migration problems. Well, even 1734 01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:04,080 Speaker 3: in South America, Chile is having problems. They're voting for 1735 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,320 Speaker 3: a new president at the moment. What's the big issue there? 1736 01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:09,160 Speaker 3: The one that's got everyone worried and agitated? Gang crime? 1737 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 3: Who do they blame illegal migrants from Venezuela. So it 1738 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,200 Speaker 3: doesn't matter where you go in the world, except apparently 1739 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 3: in New Zealand and the South Pacific, illegal migration is 1740 01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:22,400 Speaker 3: the issue Number one or number two next to economy 1741 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:26,800 Speaker 3: or behind economy for voters front of mind and think 1742 01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:31,519 Speaker 3: about that.

We have a system that is out 1750 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:58,120 Speaker 27: of control, it's unfair and it's putting huge pressure on communities. 1751 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 3: She's making a big announcement tonight our time, Devin Gray 1752 01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 3: with details next. 1753 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,680 Speaker 2: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1754 01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:10,040 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Ryan Bridge and May's motor vehicle insurance. 1755 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 1: Your futures in good hands, us talks, it'd be. 1756 01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,840 Speaker 3: It is sixteen minutes away from seven Given Gray are 1757 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:19,680 Speaker 3: UK correspondent with us this evening, Gavin, good evening, Good 1758 01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:20,120 Speaker 3: morning to you. 1759 01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:20,720 Speaker 6: Hi. 1760 01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,160 Speaker 3: Now you've got a bigger, big announcement coming from the 1761 01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:25,000 Speaker 3: Home Secretary. 1762 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,280 Speaker 23: Yeah, and do you know what this has been so 1763 01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:29,200 Speaker 23: widely leaked? 1764 01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 2: Ryan? 1765 01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:31,880 Speaker 23: As I'm beginning to think we've seen the whole thing already, 1766 01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,920 Speaker 23: but yeah, we're waiting now from the Home Secretary the 1767 01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:39,720 Speaker 23: latest details of a plan to make asylum seekers are 1768 01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 23: a much sort of stricter system of how they're managed 1769 01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,960 Speaker 23: here in the UK. We're now finding out that the 1770 01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,559 Speaker 23: Home Secretary plans to impose what are being called Trump 1771 01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:52,799 Speaker 23: style visa bans on three African countries. In our words, 1772 01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:56,960 Speaker 23: if Angola, Namibia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo do 1773 01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:00,280 Speaker 23: not start to take back illegal migrants from the UK 1774 01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:04,639 Speaker 23: who are being deported, then they will face sanctions blocking 1775 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:09,760 Speaker 23: their tourists, VIPs and business people from traveling to Britain. Now, 1776 01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:11,840 Speaker 23: in the past, this is something that Donald Trump has 1777 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:15,679 Speaker 23: done in order to force countries to accept illegals from 1778 01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:18,240 Speaker 23: those countries, and the UK and the past has just gone, 1779 01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 23: oh well you're not accepting them back where you should 1780 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:23,760 Speaker 23: accept them back. Ah, well, there's still he is sort 1781 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:25,840 Speaker 23: of thing. So now this is a sign that this 1782 01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,880 Speaker 23: announcement that we're expecting a little later today is going 1783 01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:31,200 Speaker 23: to be much much more far reaching than we thought. 1784 01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:34,080 Speaker 23: We now hear that people will have to be an 1785 01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,720 Speaker 23: asylum seeker for twenty years before they granted asylum it 1786 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:41,519 Speaker 23: currently stands a permanent residency. Rather, it currently stands at 1787 01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:44,080 Speaker 23: five years. And this is all part of this government 1788 01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,600 Speaker 23: showing that it is tough on illegal migration and it 1789 01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,960 Speaker 23: is doing something about it. They are absolutely on the 1790 01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 23: floor in the opinion polls and no doubt now it 1791 01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 23: looks like asylum is going to be one of the 1792 01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,800 Speaker 23: big features in the opinion polls for any future election. 1793 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,600 Speaker 3: Kevin House and Sea, can you look saying all of 1794 01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:04,720 Speaker 3: this when you've just you know, for the last I 1795 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:06,880 Speaker 3: saw it and the stam a few weeks they're beshing 1796 01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,840 Speaker 3: faraj Is are racist for raising the issue and here 1797 01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:13,200 Speaker 3: they are banning, yes, you know, restrictions on Angola. 1798 01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,040 Speaker 23: Yeah, and here they are doing exactly the sorts of 1799 01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,800 Speaker 23: things he was saying that we should be doing. It's 1800 01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,280 Speaker 23: very very odd, but I think it shows the political 1801 01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:24,479 Speaker 23: fever that we're in at the moment on this topic. 1802 01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:29,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely now. Sarah Ferguson former you know Duchess Head a 1803 01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:33,240 Speaker 3: children's book and scandal comes along, book gets delayed. What's 1804 01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:35,200 Speaker 3: happening now, Well, it. 1805 01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:38,080 Speaker 23: Looks like it's been withdrawn from sale all together. At 1806 01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 23: the moment that we're still waiting actually to hear from 1807 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:44,080 Speaker 23: the publisher, who's not responded to any requests for comment. 1808 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:48,599 Speaker 23: So Sarah Ferguson's new book called Flora and Fern Kindness 1809 01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,080 Speaker 23: along the Way, initially due to be published on the 1810 01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:54,200 Speaker 23: ninth of October, then it was put back and Amazon 1811 01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,919 Speaker 23: said it would be available from the twentieth of November, 1812 01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,600 Speaker 23: so a couple of days time. But it's now no 1813 01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 23: longer listed on the website at all, and there are 1814 01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:06,640 Speaker 23: no plans as yet. It was said to reinstate a 1815 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,200 Speaker 23: new deadline for it to be released, as I said, 1816 01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 23: the publisher, New Frontier Publishing, not responding to requests for comment. 1817 01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:15,960 Speaker 23: Sixty six year old Sarah Ferguson, who of course lost 1818 01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,200 Speaker 23: her title as Duchess when her ex husband Andrew mount 1819 01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:22,080 Speaker 23: Batman Windsor relinquished his use of the Duke of York 1820 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:25,880 Speaker 23: title and now sort of stands with a career that 1821 01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:28,519 Speaker 23: has done quite well in children's books, but sort of 1822 01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:31,400 Speaker 23: now stands on a precipice. Will she ever be able 1823 01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:34,599 Speaker 23: to publish again or are the publishers Are the book 1824 01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:37,920 Speaker 23: world people just saying no, you'r tainted goods, We won't 1825 01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,439 Speaker 23: have you at all? Either way, it's been a nice 1826 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:42,640 Speaker 23: earner for her in the past, and one wonders how 1827 01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:44,280 Speaker 23: she's going to make that up in future. 1828 01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:47,080 Speaker 3: That's interesting. I was as you were talking, thinking, why 1829 01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,880 Speaker 3: would anyone buy a children's book from Fugi. You know, 1830 01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:51,920 Speaker 3: of all the role models for your children, is that 1831 01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,120 Speaker 3: we you'd point your finger. I don't know, but you 1832 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:55,840 Speaker 3: sind she's done them before and they've sold. 1833 01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:57,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they have. 1834 01:32:57,720 --> 01:32:59,920 Speaker 23: But that was, of course before all this scandal broken, 1835 01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:02,080 Speaker 23: and of course, you know, being tainted with that, it 1836 01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:04,120 Speaker 23: may make a big impact on her career. 1837 01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,640 Speaker 3: Budgie The Little Helicopter, I'm told is one of her 1838 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:12,200 Speaker 3: books that yes, yes, all right. Germany's coalition government agreed 1839 01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:14,280 Speaker 3: to a new military service plan. This is to boost 1840 01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:15,080 Speaker 3: troop numbers. 1841 01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:20,719 Speaker 23: After wrangling, yeah, a huge amount of talk and wrangling 1842 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,519 Speaker 23: about this, and of course it comes with sensitivity that 1843 01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:27,000 Speaker 23: Germany should have such a strong army after the World 1844 01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:30,120 Speaker 23: Wars of the last century. Nevertheless, it's finally got the 1845 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:32,200 Speaker 23: go ahead. Now the current number of troops is one 1846 01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:36,519 Speaker 23: hundred and eighty two thousand. It wants to start military service, 1847 01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:40,280 Speaker 23: so the sudden forcing of young men it's focusing on 1848 01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,040 Speaker 23: at the moment to join the army for a short 1849 01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:47,679 Speaker 23: period of time as a conscription type thing, and eventually 1850 01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:52,559 Speaker 23: it could possibly be an army of roughly almost half 1851 01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:55,760 Speaker 23: a million. That's using two hundred thousand reservists, but they 1852 01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:57,800 Speaker 23: want to get the regular army up to somewhere over 1853 01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:00,639 Speaker 23: two hundred and sixty thousand over the next ten years, 1854 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,040 Speaker 23: so they're doing it in stages. 1855 01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:03,200 Speaker 1: At the moment. 1856 01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:05,960 Speaker 23: The new military service plan will make it compulsory for 1857 01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 23: all eighteen year old men to fill out a questionnaire 1858 01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:12,360 Speaker 23: on their suitability to serve, but then from twenty twenty 1859 01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:16,160 Speaker 23: seven to undergo medical screening and then in the future 1860 01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:20,240 Speaker 23: to effectively force those people to join. Slightly different rules 1861 01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:23,639 Speaker 23: for young women at the moment, but it's certainly a focus. 1862 01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,559 Speaker 23: From next year, all eighteen year old men and women 1863 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:29,840 Speaker 23: going to be sent a questionnaire and willingness asked about 1864 01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:32,439 Speaker 23: their willingness to join the armed forces, and it will 1865 01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:36,920 Speaker 23: be compulsory for men and voluntary for women. Yeah, big, 1866 01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:41,559 Speaker 23: big questions about German's defense operation with it being such 1867 01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:44,560 Speaker 23: a low payer into NATO in the past, something that 1868 01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:46,479 Speaker 23: has really caught Donald Trump's eye. 1869 01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:50,280 Speaker 3: And aire interesting. Thanks so much, Kevin Gavin gray Are 1870 01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:53,760 Speaker 3: UK correspondent. It's ten minutes away from seven. How hard 1871 01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,200 Speaker 3: would it be to write a children's book anyway? It would? 1872 01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:57,920 Speaker 3: It not be the easiest thing in the world. I mean, 1873 01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:01,280 Speaker 3: maybe being all judgment to no idea what I'm talking about. 1874 01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,400 Speaker 3: To be fair, I don't read a huge number of 1875 01:35:03,479 --> 01:35:06,519 Speaker 3: children's books unless I'm visiting my niece and nephew and 1876 01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:08,000 Speaker 3: you've got to do bedtime duties. 1877 01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:11,120 Speaker 28: But apart from that, that one by the Duchess of Sussex, 1878 01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:13,120 Speaker 28: the what is it the park Bench or something that 1879 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,600 Speaker 28: she wrote that got some very very nasty reviews with me, 1880 01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:18,640 Speaker 28: that's so clearly it's not like, yeah, not everybody. 1881 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:18,640 Speaker 18: Can do it. 1882 01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:21,479 Speaker 3: But were the reviews from children or were they from adults? 1883 01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:24,439 Speaker 28: That they may have been from adults, Yeah, Like. 1884 01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:26,240 Speaker 3: I mean you could couldn't you just sit ak it 1885 01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:28,320 Speaker 3: in front of the phone book and they'd be entertained? 1886 01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:29,080 Speaker 20: No? 1887 01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:31,400 Speaker 3: I mean if you okay, if you put the phone 1888 01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:34,760 Speaker 3: book with pictures, would they not be entertained? And isn't 1889 01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:36,760 Speaker 3: it about how when you're reading a story to a cat, 1890 01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,280 Speaker 3: it's about how you do your voice to keep them entertained. 1891 01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:43,320 Speaker 3: You could read the back of a you know, pick 1892 01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:45,080 Speaker 3: and mixed jar. I don't know. You could read the 1893 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,839 Speaker 3: back of a jam jar and they'd be entertained, wouldn't 1894 01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:49,320 Speaker 3: They aren't kids easy. 1895 01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:55,200 Speaker 1: Nine to seven it's the Heather Topsy Allen Drive Full 1896 01:35:55,280 --> 01:36:00,439 Speaker 1: Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by Newstalk ZBI News Talk. 1897 01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,000 Speaker 3: Said b it's six minutes away from seven I mentioned earlier, 1898 01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,839 Speaker 3: and it's just a personal view. I think the warehouse 1899 01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:08,320 Speaker 3: is going to get into supermarkets. I just think it 1900 01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:11,840 Speaker 3: makes sense once you get rid of the stranglehold the 1901 01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,280 Speaker 3: dropoly has on those contracts with the suppliers. Once you 1902 01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:18,360 Speaker 3: start dealing with that with legislation, you open the field up. 1903 01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,960 Speaker 3: They've got the buildings. Well, it's a no brainer in 1904 01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:24,040 Speaker 3: my mind. But anyway, we'll smait and see what happens. 1905 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,200 Speaker 3: This text to says Ryan. Here's why that New Zealand 1906 01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:30,040 Speaker 3: business and the Warehouse others like them won't enter the 1907 01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,840 Speaker 3: grocery market even if they wanted to. They don't have 1908 01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,439 Speaker 3: the right shelves and they don't have the money to 1909 01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:38,240 Speaker 3: buy them. Also, they can't handle the stock turnover. I 1910 01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 3: know this. I've worked in the industry for a very 1911 01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:43,200 Speaker 3: long time. Surely shelves can't be the issue. How much? 1912 01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:47,320 Speaker 3: How expensive is a shelf? You know, how really how 1913 01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:50,080 Speaker 3: expensive that is? Big al? I don't understand are there 1914 01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 3: special types? I don't understand texture, your logic. They look 1915 01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:57,200 Speaker 3: cheap to me. They look like you could push them 1916 01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:00,439 Speaker 3: if there's nothing in them and they'll fall over. How expensive? 1917 01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,720 Speaker 28: Co hang on, what about those fancy ones that you 1918 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:04,840 Speaker 28: get in the produce section where the shelf has like 1919 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,200 Speaker 28: you know, it keeps all the lettuce and stuff cold. 1920 01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,400 Speaker 28: You know that's not just a shelf like. 1921 01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,519 Speaker 3: A refrigeration unit. Yeah, yeah, it's all yeah. I mean 1922 01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:16,080 Speaker 3: that's electricity probably upfront cost bit of electricity. But you know, 1923 01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:17,080 Speaker 3: if you're selling enough. 1924 01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:18,479 Speaker 28: And you need lots of them, right like if you're 1925 01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:21,840 Speaker 28: going to put out in maybe waven she isn't the issue. 1926 01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:26,200 Speaker 3: If our problem is shelving and the reason we don't 1927 01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:30,160 Speaker 3: have supermarkets is because the shelves are too expensive, that 1928 01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:32,080 Speaker 3: doesn't make sense. Would be a very New Zealand thing 1929 01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:34,200 Speaker 3: there would be all right, hey, what are we going 1930 01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:34,479 Speaker 3: out to. 1931 01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:38,120 Speaker 28: Ends homes by Deftones to play us out tonight?
