1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Digging through the spin spins to find the real story. 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: Or it's Ryan Bridge on Heather Dupice Ellen Drive with 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: One New Zealand let's get connected and news talks. 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: That'd be good. 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 3: Afternoon, It is four oh seven. Great to have your 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 3: company the OCA as expected, A cut is coming, but 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 3: more and sooner on the way. We're across that. This 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 3: afternoon we're live with Wayne Brown is having another crack 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 3: in Auckland's. Plus the ends at our boss Mark Robinson 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 3: on the Ineos battle. It's a game of chicken for him. 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 3: Also this afternoon we'll look at why are more older 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 3: people dying on our roads bridge? So the Reserve Bank 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 3: has done exactly what the pundit said they would do 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 3: and dropped fifty points. What's more, they have said they'll 15 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 3: go lower and faster with the cuts than they told 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 3: us they would last time. This is darts a dependent 17 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: of course, but they should cut another fifty points by midyear. 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 3: Then by the end of the year we should get 19 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: to three percent, so basically another seventy five points to 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: go yet then when you're looking basically at a far 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 3: more neutral rate at that point, by Christmas, a far 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: more neutral interest rate where it's neither driving nor starving 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 3: the economy of oxygen. And that is good if you're 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 3: a homeowner with a tuckapunicized mortgage on your house. But 25 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 3: the word from all in his body's done at the 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: Central Bank today was don't expect longer term mortgage rates 27 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 3: to come down too much more. That's your two to 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: five year rates. Why because they're driven largely by offshore 29 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: borrowing conditions, which basically aren't that great right now for 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 3: a bunch of reasons. So yes, this is good. We're 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: coming down the slope further. But you can't help but 32 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 3: feel a little pissed off, a little peeved, I should 33 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 3: say that we had to climb so high and so 34 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: fast in the first place. You look at the Australians yesterday. 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: Sure their ocr is higher than ours at the moment, 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: but they have kept it lower and didn't go as 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: early as we did. We hiked like Hillary Everest and 38 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: we're heading for growth of what half a percent this 39 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: year the Aussies two percent. Make no mistake, it was 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: the same lot standing down there in Wellington today crowing 41 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: about dropping rates, telling us the economies on the men 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 3: that through the punches that we are feeling right now, 43 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: and when you look across the Tasman you can feel 44 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: the gut punch. The bigger problem for us, of course, 45 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: is not just that we're looking across the Tasman. It's 46 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: that we're packing up and moving there as well. Here 47 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: is hoping that today's cut and the more to come 48 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 3: that they've signaled will help stop the exodus. Ryan Bridge, 49 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,119 Speaker 3: nine after four here on News TALKSB. It could soon 50 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 3: be in chery news. It could soon be cheaper and 51 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: easier to repair your faulty or broken goods. That's if 52 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 3: an amendment to the Consumer Guarantees and Act becomes law. 53 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: The Right to Repair Amendment Bill has its first reading 54 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: in Parliament today and would require manufacturers to make repair 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 3: parts and information more available to consumers. Dr Paul Smith 56 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: is from the Right to Repair altierro A coalition and 57 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: he's with me this afternoon. Paul good A. 58 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 4: Good good day, Ryan. How are you doing? 59 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 5: Yeah? 60 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: Good, thank you. What's the current loophole that means manufacturers 61 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: don't have to repair their products here? 62 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, now that's a great one. If I paraphrase it, 63 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: it is you have to provide repair facilities and repair 64 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: tools and parts. Unless you say you don't, And basically 65 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: that means you should tell consumers upfrunt that repair for 66 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: a particular product is not available, But in practice that 67 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 4: means it can be buried away on a website somewhere 68 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 4: in some terms and conditions, or as we find in practice, 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 4: actually it's never really policed. So a lot of them 70 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: just don't bother. 71 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: Aren't things so cheap in Techi these days anyway that 72 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: you I mean, you wouldn't want to repair them. It's 73 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: so much cheaper to just buy a new thing. 74 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's one of the problems that we're trying 75 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 4: to fix with this. Partly, what we've found is a 76 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: lot of people want to repair, but they struggle because 77 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 4: repair is just so difficult and so expensive, and it's 78 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 4: got to the point where, yeah, buying something new in 79 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 4: a lot of cases is cheaper than even getting somebody 80 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 4: to look at the product to assess whether it's repairable. 81 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 4: And that's partly because products aren't repaarable at the moment, 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 4: a lot of them, and they've been designed to make 83 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 4: it quite difficult to repair, to force everybody into buy 84 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: a new stuff. 85 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's because they're cheaply made because what you're 86 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: proposing would make stuff more expensive, wouldn't that because if 87 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: it was able to be repaired, it would be more 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: costly to make. Plus you have to factor in the 89 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 3: cost of repairs. Don't we just want cheaper stuff. 90 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 4: Well, one of the problems we've got is one of 91 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 4: the things that won't make it more expensive is we've 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: had this Great Consumer Guarantees Act since nineteen ninety three, 93 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 4: and as part of that, manufacturers have to support their 94 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 4: products beyond their nominal short usually one year warranty. 95 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: No no, I get that, but the fact that they 96 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 3: have to factor in the cost of repairing stuff would 97 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: make the initial upfront cost more expensive. 98 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: A lot of the things that we're talking about as 99 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: being repairable are not changes to the product themselves, and 100 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 4: that's sort of like a real long term game is 101 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: to try and make things more reparable in the first place. 102 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 4: But it's things like what happens when you break the 103 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 4: jug of your blender and you can't get that jug, 104 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 4: and that's not something that you need to change the 105 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 4: product for. That's just making that part available for you, 106 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 4: or seals on a coffee machine, something like that. 107 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 3: Okay, interesting, I would love to know what people think 108 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: about this one. Dr Paul Smith, thank you very much 109 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 3: for your time. Great to have you on the show. 110 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: The Doctor Paul Smith is from the Right to Repair 111 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 3: Altre coalition.

This bill that's going before the House. 113 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 3: It's a member's bill. Obviously, we'd love to know your thoughts. 114 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: What have you had recently break on you that you've 115 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: actually wanted repaired? I mean the fridge. I've had the 116 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 3: fridge repaired recently. But in terms of you know, little 117 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: gadgets and things, everything's so cheap that you just don't 118 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: you just go out and buy a new one, don't you. 119 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 3: Nine two ninety two is the number text thirteen after 120 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: four Darci here was sport. 121 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: Next, it's the Heather to Bussy allan Drive full show 122 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk ZEBB. 123 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: Quarter past four. News Talk said the Ryan to repair 124 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 3: a fifteen dollar kettle from Kmart would cost way more 125 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 3: than the purchase price. This is Green Party stupidity, says Steve. 126 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 3: I think that this is the bill that they're currently 127 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: debating and were they're going to debate today in Parliament 128 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 3: to force manufacturers to repair stuff that breaks. 129 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 6: I could like getting that through Apple. 130 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there's two different Well, there's two different kettles 131 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: of fish here. One is the expensive products that you 132 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 3: actually want to be replaced or repaired, I should say, 133 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 3: And then there's the cheaper products that it's probably just 134 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: cheaper to go and buy a new one sixteen and 135 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 3: after four Darci's here, Hey, Darcy, Oh it's the land 136 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 3: ill man.

Although there's those people that go around 144 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: now and raid all of the op shops and all 145 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 3: of those estate sales for their very expensive boutique second 146 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: hand stores. 147 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 7: You need to go to the middle of the country 148 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 7: and they don't have that rubbishcale. 149 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: Probably right, black Caps are playing Pakistan.

I wonder why, if that's why they've 176 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 3: gone that side of the well. 177 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 7: Soldier Field is where the unbelievable actually happened and the 178 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 7: All Blacks got rolled by Ireland back in the day. 179 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 6: When was that twenty seventeen. 180 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 7: Twenty six is a while ago, now, that's how long. 181 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 7: So New Zealand rugby plainly they want to get a footprint. 182 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 7: They want traction in the United States of America. World 183 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 7: Cups coming up there in a handful of years, so 184 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 7: they need make events to go to their paymasters and 185 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 7: say we'd like to put on the game here.

You can't do it online and 226 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 3: manually order them yourself. So a lot of people will 227 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: have sympathy for this Bill. I think just gone twenty 228 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 3: two minutes after four. Trump had a press conference today 229 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: and I had to listening to it just because I 230 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 3: find them sort of entertaining. Anyways, talking about Ukraine, obviously 231 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 3: you've had Rubio and Lavrov over in Saudi Arabia having 232 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 3: a chat. Trump reckons the whole thing, the whole war 233 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: in Ukraine, would never have happened if he was president. 234 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 3: And I hear that. 235 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 10: You know they're upset about not having a seat, Well, 236 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 10: they've had a seat for three years and a long 237 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 10: time before that. This could have been settled very easily, 238 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 10: just a half a half baked negotiator could have settled 239 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 10: this years ago without either without the loss of much land, 240 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 10: very little land, without the loss of any lives, and 241 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 10: without the loss of cities that are just laying on 242 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 10: their sides. You have those magnificent golden domes that are shattered, 243 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 10: will never be replaced. You can't replace them. 244 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 3: He also said he used to warn Putin not to 245 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 3: go into Ukraine. 246 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 10: This is something that should have never happened, would have 247 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 10: never happened. And I used to discuss it with Putin. 248 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 10: President Putin. I know, we'll talk about Ukraine. And it 249 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 10: was the apple of his eye, I will tell you that. 250 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 10: But he never there was never a chance of him 251 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 10: going in. And they told him you better. 252 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 2: Not go in, don't go in, don't go in. 253 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 6: And he understood that. 254 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: And Biden comes in and he goes in. And of 255 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 3: course Trump says that that he also said in this 256 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: press conference, and you will see this headline in all 257 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: of the news today, across the splashed across the news 258 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: that Trump blamed Ukraine for starting the war. Now he 259 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 3: did as a throwaway comment, I think during this press 260 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: conference say that. I don't think it was the main 261 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: thrust of what he was getting at. Today. Anyway, lots 262 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 3: to update you on when it comes to Ukraine. So 263 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 3: miss yesterday we're talking about Starma, So he comes out, 264 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 3: you know, Captain Planet, saving Captain Planet. He comes out 265 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 3: and says, I will send troops in there and save 266 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 3: the day. Now, the UK is a NATO country, right, 267 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 3: and Russia has spoken about not wanting NATO troops or 268 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 3: NATO peacekeepers at the border because you'll need something down 269 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 3: the middle to separate these two borring sites. So Income 270 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: starma to save the day and say we'll send British 271 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 3: troops in there to do that job. But so Lavrov, 272 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: who's been over in Saudi Arabia, he's come out and 273 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: slapped him down and said, yet any appearance of armed 274 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 3: forces under any flag, doesn't matter which flag they're carrying, 275 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: completely unacceptable. So he's kind of put a line in 276 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: the sand there. But you would have to say there, 277 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 3: there's got to be some sort of DMZ, doesn't there. 278 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 3: I mean, who's going to trust Russia next to an 279 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 3: open door nobody, And you've got to I mean, you're 280 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: going to have some kind of troops in there. I 281 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 3: would have thought. Anyway, we're going to talk about that. 282 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 3: We've got world wires coming up in just a few 283 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 3: moments after the news, so there's lots more to come 284 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 3: here on News Talk, said B. Also an interesting development 285 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 3: on minerals to do with Ukraine, which I'll get to 286 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 3: a little later on. You know, this is approximately twelve 287 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: trillion US trillion dollars worth of minerals sitting right now 288 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 3: under Ukraine. How much of what Putin is doing is 289 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 3: to try and get at those minerals? And could the 290 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 3: minerals actually help to end the war, because that's certainly 291 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 3: what Lindsay Graham is talking about. You know, giving Trump 292 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: a reason to to bac Ukraine twelve trillion dollars sounds 293 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: like a pretty good reason to me. Twenty six minutes 294 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 3: after four, News Talk the Bay. 295 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 11: I can hear your southern draw thousand miles away, changing gold. 296 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 12: You're a pink pony girl. 297 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 11: You don't have the curb, mama, just. 298 00:14:38,920 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 12: Hom sage in lines.

Well, they've had a seat for three years, 330 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 10: and a long time before that. This could have been 331 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 10: settled very easily. Just a half a half beggd negotiator 332 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 10: could have settled this years ago to Gaza. 333 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 3: Hamas has announced some hostages will be released this weekend. 334 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 3: On Saturday, the twenty second of February, the remaining six 335 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 3: living Israeli captives who were due to be released and 336 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 3: the first phase of the agreement will be released.

Then we have the OCI bad news. They've 344 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 3: updated again. It's track, so NASA says, the chances of 345 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: a collision in December twenty thirty two, it's now gone 346 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 3: from one point nine percent to two point six percent. 347 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 3: Remember it was one, then it doubled, Now it's almost 348 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: doubled again. Astronomers say that since the rock is so 349 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 3: far away, at the moment, we can expect to see 350 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 3: that number change quite frequently, so we shouldn't apparently shouldn't 351 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: panic just yet. 352 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends an eye insurance peace of mind 353 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business love to. 354 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 3: Talk of a meeting between Trump and Poutin. Dan Mitchison 355 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: is a US correspondent. Dan, Good afternoon, Hey, good afternoon, Ryan. 356 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 3: How soon could we see this? 357 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 2: Oh? 358 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: I don't know. 359 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 15: I think this is going to be a long time 360 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 15: in coming. I mean, you know, as you heard Donald Trump, 361 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 15: well you know, mister Trump said that this could have 362 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 15: been solved a long time ago. But it's a good start, 363 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 15: I guess. I mean, there's three main goals here that 364 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 15: want to restore staffing at the embassy's Washington and Russia. 365 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 15: According to both countries, they want to create this high 366 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 15: level team to support Ukraine peace talks, and they want 367 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 15: to explore closer relationships, and I guess more economic tize 368 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 15: going on. But here's the thing. I mean, no officials 369 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 15: from Ukraine were present at that meeting. So how awkward 370 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 15: is it to have two countries talking about your own 371 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 15: future and your own fate and you don't have a 372 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 15: seat at the table. 373 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a little lift out, but there 374 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: is still time. I mean they can include a presumably 375 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 3: later on down the track, once things are a bit 376 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 3: more firmed up. 377 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would, I would. 378 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 15: I would hope so at this point in time, but 379 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 15: right now, as we know that the relationship between mister 380 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 15: Trump and Ukraine is not the best like it was 381 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 15: with former President Biden, so it'll be interesting to see. 382 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 15: And again right now, Trump thinks that there should have 383 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 15: been concessions to Russia before the invasion happened almost three 384 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 15: years ago. 385 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 3: Speaking of Trump, hey and Elon Musk have just done 386 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 3: a joint interview on folks, what's happened then? 387 00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 15: Well, you know, there's a lot of the stuff that 388 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 15: we knew about already, this bromance going on between the two. 389 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 15: But one of the interesting points that they brought up 390 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 15: during the interview that seemed to surprise Donald Trump was 391 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 15: Elon Musk said that he was going to endorse President 392 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 15: Trump even before that attempt on his life in Pennsylvania, 393 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 15: but he said once that happened, that kind of sped 394 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 15: up his decision a little bit. And Trump kind of 395 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 15: turned to Musk and said, well, I didn't know that 396 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 15: was kind of it, and then Musk said, I was 397 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 15: going to do it anyway, but it's kind of interesting 398 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 15: to watch these two go back and forth. And I mean, 399 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 15: this was supposed to focus on the first one hundred 400 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 15: days of President Trump's administration, and Musk kind of goes 401 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 15: off on this tangent talking about Trump dearrangement syndrome, and 402 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 15: he says he didn't realize it was a real thing 403 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 15: until he was at a friend's dinner party a couple 404 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 15: of months before the election, and he said, people look 405 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 15: like they got I think he said, shot with the 406 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 15: dart in the neck and it was like they were 407 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 15: on meth and rabies right now. And he said he 408 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 15: really was surprised about how adamant people were against voting 409 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 15: for for the president at the time. 410 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 3: Goodness may AFC and we love a bit of KFC 411 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 3: here in New Zealand. Is it going to turn into TFC? 412 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 15: Well, it's interesting because first they took the Kentucky out 413 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 15: of KFC, and now they're taking the KFC out of Kentucky, 414 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 15: so they're moving it to Texas to foster They're saying 415 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 15: this collaboration among brands and employees, I don't That sounds 416 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 15: like somebody in the PR Department just wrote that up. 417 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 15: But basically they're also telling all the remote employees they've 418 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 15: got to get back to where the work happens. And 419 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 15: what's interesting, though, is that this is becoming more common, 420 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 15: not just with KFC, but with companies moving out of 421 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 15: states like California and into Texas where they had better 422 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 15: tax breaks and the cost of living is less and 423 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 15: the cost of doing business is last. And it's also 424 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 15: been a problem for a lot of overseas companies. They've 425 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 15: been looking to move to states like California or Washington 426 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 15: or Oregon. Texas has just become very an inviting place 427 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 15: to do business. So you not only have these businesses 428 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 15: that are moving, but a lot of people that are 429 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 15: moving to to that part of the US over here. 430 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 15: But it'll be interesting to see. And you're right about 431 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 15: KFC being popular in New Zealand. I think they're the 432 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 15: second most popular fast food restaurant behind McDonald's, so not 433 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 15: just in New Zealand but in the world. 434 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Dan, thank you very much for that. Dan 435 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 3: Mitchinson is our US correspondency. Tax breaks do apparently attract 436 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 3: multinationals and corporations. It is nineteen minutes away from five 437 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 3: News Talk. 438 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: Sb Ryan Bridge. 439 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 3: So Wayne Brown is announcing. He's just announcing as we speak, 440 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 3: actually that he's going to run for mayor again in Auckland. 441 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 3: And there's a story I just had to bring you 442 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 3: out of Brazil today. There's a man by the name 443 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 3: of Jose Aparigio de Silba, and he was running for 444 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: the mirror of a local district in Brazil up for reelection, 445 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 3: wasn't doing very well in the polls, quite concerned about 446 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 3: being turfed out of office. Right, so on the eve 447 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: of the early election, this was last October, terrible news. 448 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 3: He was seriously hurt by some bad guys with AK 449 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 3: forty sevens who attacked his motorkate this mayor day before 450 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: the election. Shock horror newspaper headlines. You can turns out 451 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 3: he hired the hit men, He hired phony hitmen, staged 452 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 3: a fake assassination and hoped that it would engender a 453 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 3: public sympathy and would win him the election. Again. Well, 454 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 3: he has lost the election anyway, there was not much 455 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 3: sympathy for him. He's now before the courts and the 456 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 3: shoulder injury he got apparently you know in the process 457 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: they weren't meant to shoot him, but in the process 458 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 3: they accidentally shot him. So he's got a bullet wound 459 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 3: in his shoulder for his troubles. Eighteen minutes away from five. 460 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: Politics with Centrics Crey to check your customers and get 461 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: payment Certainty. 462 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: News talks'd b quarter to five. Barries Soper, senior political 463 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 3: correspondent with US. Hey, Barry, good afternoon. Right, so we've 464 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: had the Oca Adrian Ores come out. He's done a 465 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 3: press conference, which he have to admit he likes doing, 466 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 3: doesn't he. 467 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 6: Well now he does, although he seemed to quite enjoy 468 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 6: it when he engineered the depression in the first exactly. 469 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 3: I think he just likes a press conference, period, that's right. 470 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 3: But anyway, the dancing in the aisles at Parliament, well you're. 471 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 6: Certainly dancing from the government side, and on a rare occasion, 472 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 6: both act and nationalist singing from the same hymn that 473 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 6: they're both praising the efforts of the government collectively for 474 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 6: where we are at at the moment. So it had 475 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 6: to come down though it was inevitable that you know, 476 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 6: inflation was clearly under control. The squeeze the economy had 477 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 6: been squeezed so hard by Adrian Oren. When you look 478 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 6: at you know, the years twenty twenty three, twenty four, 479 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 6: I mean it ranged between I think it was four 480 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 6: point seven five and five point five and only started 481 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 6: coming down on October last year. So it's been a 482 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 6: long hard grind, mainly for the mortgage interest holders. And 483 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 6: a lot of people ask me about the OCR what 484 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 6: does it mean three point seven five, Well, that's the 485 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 6: rate that the banks can horrow money at and the 486 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 6: margin that the bank set is above that for your 487 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 6: mortgage and interest rates. So you know, it'll be interesting 488 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 6: to see if those margins are reduced or stay the same, 489 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 6: and what real effect that it will have on our 490 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 6: interest rates. 491 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting today listening to that press conference, them 492 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 3: saying basically, your longer term rates, so anything two to 493 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 3: five years, don't expect much of men, because most of 494 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 3: that is influenced by your bank swap rates and your 495 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 3: international money markets rather than the OCR. So, but your 496 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 3: floating rates will certainly go up and down. Hey, John Tommaheaty, 497 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 3: he came out this morning. 498 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 6: Wellllarm whole John Tama Harry is speaking to somebody. He 499 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 6: essentially agreed that some photocopf copying had taken place at 500 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 6: the muddy at the center of all this, and his candidate, 501 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 6: of course won the election, who was the chief executive 502 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 6: of the MRA. But it's interesting Tamma Herry has been 503 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 6: proached approached by News z'd be on many occasions for 504 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 6: an interview, but the calls go unanswered. But the phone 505 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 6: was unswered from Radio New Zealand this morning and he 506 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 6: seemed to suggest the whole thing was a Pakiha conspiracy. 507 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 16: I think it's in the interest of all pakia that 508 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 16: they want it sort of out right because the only 509 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 16: people that get investigated constantly, and there's not one rule 510 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 16: for law in this country by long shot, from suppresion 511 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 16: orders all the way through, because we suffer a significant 512 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 16: microscope have done since I that school have done today 513 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 16: plays out in different ways. So we will continue to 514 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 16: participate in the democratic process, whether people like it or not. 515 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 16: And where we're are growing forced politically in this country, 516 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 16: that will continue whether people like. 517 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 17: It or not. 518 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 6: Hang on though, wasn't the Maori party that called the 519 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 6: policeman to investigate in the first place. If John's listening, 520 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 6: you can't have it both ways. 521 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 3: And Also it was a Mary and Penny Hennade who 522 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: said that they were ripped off. 523 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, I'll tell you what the interesting question 524 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 6: at the end of all of this, if electoral wrong 525 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 6: doing is found by the police against the Maori Party 526 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 6: and they vehemently decided to deny that done anything wrong, 527 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 6: the whole balance of Parliament has been decided on the 528 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 6: seats like the one that they won. As a result, 529 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 6: some would say of the vote being jacked up. Now 530 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 6: where does that leave Parliament. 531 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 3: And where does and obviously there's a police investigation going 532 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 3: on all that Privacy commission, and then also the question 533 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 3: for the Electoral Commission, I mean, why did they let 534 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 3: a booth go in first place? 535 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 6: Exactly? 536 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: You know, because it's their job, like in legislation, it's 537 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 3: their job to run a friend fair election and to separate. 538 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 6: It from what our bested interests. 539 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 3: Now the Mexicans stand off, as Shane Jones once eloquently 540 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 3: put it, between the Greens and New Zealand, first is 541 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 3: continuing to. 542 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 6: Yes, it is. And it came down to a bit 543 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 6: of a history lesson. I mean, Mendis March was born 544 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 6: in Mexico. His father is Mexican his mother was Key 545 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 6: Where in Key when he came to New Zealand with 546 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 6: his mother. The question that led to the debate today 547 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 6: was to the Immigration Minister, and it started all the 548 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 6: kafuffle that led to the history lesson does she think 549 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 6: it's fair to deport people who have been born in troa, 550 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 6: separating them from communities and their families. It was the 551 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 6: use of a tro that infuriated Winston Betters and his 552 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 6: sidekick Shane Jones. 553 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 18: Here the are that is, someone who applied to come 554 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 18: to a country called New Zealand as immigrant in two 555 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 18: thousand and six allowed this House to change the country's 556 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 18: name without the mandate the approval of raferend of people. 557 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 18: A person asking the questions an elected member of this 558 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 18: House go to the treaty. 559 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 19: New Zealand is translor rated as New Tidny Pember Reeves 560 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 19: popularized the word altero. 561 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 20: Would you also be willing to consider whether it is 562 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 20: appropriate for any member of this House to openly question 563 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 20: the legitimacy of the presence of another member in order 564 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 20: to make a political point. Okay, think about that. 565 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 21: I do think that is worth while considering those comments 566 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 21: actually reflect outside of the Chambers off this place into 567 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 21: a broader communities. This incentivating people that may have been 568 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 21: born overseas from participating in our democracy. 569 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 19: So can you also contemplate the appropriateness of recent immigrants 570 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 19: telling maldi is what the name of our country should be? 571 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 3: Goodness? 572 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 6: It was Pember Reeves, of course, he wrote the book, 573 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 6: and he was a politician at the turn of the 574 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 6: nineteenth century in New Zealand, and he wrote the book 575 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 6: The Land of the Long White Cloud, which is where 576 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 6: at Roll came from. And Shane Jones being moldy himself, 577 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 6: Winston Peter's being Maori himself. They are right, this is 578 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 6: not a Maori word. It's a word that was taken 579 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 6: by a European politician and popularized. 580 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 2: Does it. 581 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 3: I think he's running into a bit of a problem. 582 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 3: We probably not electorally for him, but continuing to go 583 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 3: down the foreign born route. And Winston, oh, you. 584 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 6: Know that that needling, needling and needling. It's just it's 585 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 6: pure political theater and they love it. 586 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 3: They do. I thank you, We right.

I think, you know, hearing from 661 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 24: the Governor at his press conference this afternoon, he was 662 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 24: pretty chipper about things. You know, inflation is at two 663 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 24: point two percent, it's pretty close to that midpoint, and 664 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 24: a lot of the expectations that the Reserve Bank had 665 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 24: for how the economy was going to play out is 666 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 24: broadly coming true. Those inflationary pressures have come back. The 667 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 24: economy still in a tough position at the moment, and 668 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 24: interest rates setting still restrictive, and so the Reserve Bank 669 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 24: wants to remove those restrictions more over time. Long story short, 670 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 24: this announcement was broadly or very much as expected, the 671 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,479 Speaker 24: right move to cut, the right sort of forecast now 672 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 24: with effectively the Reserve Bank pricing in what the markets 673 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 24: have been thinking as well, and so very much a 674 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 24: sensible decision coming out from the Reserve Bank today. 675 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 3: They were also saying today, don't get your hopes up. 676 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,479 Speaker 3: If you're looking for cuts to your longer term rates, 677 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 3: your two to five year rates, don't be expecting much 678 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 3: of a change. No, that's right, and even you've just 679 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,240 Speaker 3: noted it around, you know, the focus from the retail 680 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 3: banks has been at the shorter end, looking at the 681 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 3: floating rates, and some of those sort of shorter term 682 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 3: numbers are the longer term rates have actually on a 683 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 3: global stage, they've been pushing a bit higher because of 684 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 3: what's coming out of the US and the US economy, 685 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 3: and so probably not as much of a shift there, 686 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 3: I think for households as well, though a lot of 687 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 3: them are sure they might be looking for a few 688 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 3: more cuts coming through in the system, But for a 689 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 3: lot of households, they're just looking forward to refixing on 690 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 3: to what is already a lower interest rate now than 691 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 3: what they might have been on previously as the year 692 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:10,959 Speaker 3: rolls through. 693 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 24: And so there's I think about half of the mortgage 694 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 24: book that reprices and has to or could refix in 695 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 24: the next sort of half a year or so, so 696 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 24: a lot of that activity coming through. I think what 697 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 24: the reserve banker is signaling is, look, they've had a 698 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 24: direction that they were moving in. They're a bit more 699 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 24: confident about doing that a bit quicker. I do worry 700 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 24: a little bit that maybe they're a little bit too 701 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 24: optimistic on continuing with that stronger tone. I worry you 702 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 24: maybe there's a bit more risk on, a bit more 703 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 24: pressure towards the second half of this year. Not enough 704 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 24: to deviate from where they are, but just you know, 705 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 24: maybe a little bit more caution will be warranted. But 706 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 24: that's for another day. The Reserve bankers said, look, they 707 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 24: are continuing to cut. That will come through. It might 708 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 24: not come through as much for each and every household, 709 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 24: but it's very much there and they've got options going forward. 710 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, as they kept saying today that it depends on 711 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 3: the data, doesn't it. So you can almost change your mind, Brad, 712 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 3: Thank you for that, Brad Olson informential, It's principal economist 713 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 3: John News talks here. But it's ten up to five Bridge, 714 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 3: the world's worst kept secret auklid Mere. Wayne Brown wants 715 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 3: three more years from you our super city, Thank you 716 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 3: very much.

So there you go. 722 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 3: No, not talking about the interview, I'm talking about the job. Ah. 723 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 8: Well, it's like the curious you get has good, it's 724 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 8: good in part. No, I think I'm there you go 725 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 8: again because I want to. I've made a lot of 726 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 8: progress and delivered most of what I promised, but I'd 727 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 8: want to another three years. All that be locked in. 728 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 8: It won't be unusual to stop wasting money. It'll be 729 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 8: the way that they properly behave. It won't be unusual 730 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 8: for at to listen to the public and stop doing 731 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 8: dumb stuff. You know, it'll be rocked in that we 732 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 8: expect to deliver the last rate rises in the country, 733 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 8: expect to do deliver value for everything. Those things are 734 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 8: still novel and they could be relessed. I want those 735 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 8: to be the normal ongoing behavior we will behave. Like 736 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 8: we're looking after the money as it was ours. There's 737 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 8: something or other I've been wigging. I'm trying to get 738 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 8: the staff to spend the ways if it was their, 739 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 8: not just it's somebody else's. 740 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 3: Jeez, you're on message. This evening, Mayne, it's good to 741 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 3: have you. I've been watching your videos on social media 742 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 3: and you've been down in the city looking at the 743 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 3: you know, the cone town that the cone apocalypse has 744 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 3: taken over. How frustrating is it that you're the mayor 745 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 3: of Auckland and you've got basically no say and all 746 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 3: of the stuff happening. 747 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 8: Well, at the end of last year, I got a 748 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 8: unanimous support from the council, which is pretty hard. Yet 749 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 8: I've got to tell you to change take back control 750 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 8: of CCOs, which was one of my five policies that 751 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 8: took in the one longest to get underway with the 752 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 8: at It does require that government to change some legislation 753 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 8: and I've agreed to do that. There's about three pieces 754 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 8: of legislation that need them to change, and the frustrating 755 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 8: part of the government doesn't move as quickly as I do. 756 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 8: But they're going to have to speed up. I mean, 757 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 8: the visa changes have to be that requires a change. 758 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 8: The midnight levy requires a bit of legislation. But none 759 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 8: of the legislation of the master in the government do cost 760 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 8: them any money, so I can't say I have got 761 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 8: no money. Just get on with the job and a 762 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 8: strong mayor is in a better position to do that. 763 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 8: So I need to come back with a big, strong result. 764 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 3: What about Desley? What's happening with Desley? 765 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 8: Well, she's my deputy miror and she's she will continue 766 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 8: to be part of the team until she decides not 767 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 8: to be part of the team. And I think she's 768 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 8: she's still continuing as part of the team and that's good. 769 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 3: Oh, that's good. So she'll continue on and then you'd 770 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 3: be happy to have her back next time as a deputy. 771 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 8: Well, the next time, you don't do that until you 772 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 8: see who it gets in. Some people retired, some new 773 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,439 Speaker 8: people will come. I didn't make a decision until well 774 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 8: after I won the last election. I had to meet 775 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 8: them all in Pine at what they want to do 776 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 8: and who's happy to do what I want to do. 777 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 3: So, but you'll definitely stay on to the end of 778 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 3: this term as your deputy. 779 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 8: Well is what she said. You say she's happy to 780 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 8: work on with me, and then there'll be where it 781 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 8: sits at the moment. 782 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 3: Oh that's good. And she's not running against you. 783 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 8: This stage, not that I know. I mean, if she 784 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 8: did do that, that might require a reconsideration. But he 785 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 8: stays here, we're working as a team and that's what 786 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 8: I expected to happen. 787 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 3: All right, Wayne, thanks very much for coming on tonight. 788 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 3: Wayne Brown, who wants to be the mayor of Auckland 789 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 3: one more time and it sounds like Desley. If you 790 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 3: try and go for that, you might just lose your 791 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 3: deputy job before the elections. Thirteen after five sixteen after 792 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 3: five new data on road safety programs. Road fatalities are 793 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 3: at a historic twenty five year low, which is the 794 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 3: good news. Since the year two thousand, they're down thirty 795 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 3: six percent the number of deaths on our roads. Now 796 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 3: the number of youth road fatalities down by fifty five percent. 797 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 3: That's even better news. But for the first time it 798 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 3: is older New Zealanders who have the highest fatality rate 799 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 3: on our roads. Maria Lovelock is the general manager for 800 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 3: New Zealand at Road Safety Education. She's with us him. 801 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 25: Maria, Yeah, Hi, Ryan. 802 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 3: What age are we talking here? 803 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 26: So with what we're talking talking about the older age group, 804 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 26: So that's sort of yeah, So that was sort of 805 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 26: looking at it some combines that's across Australia and New 806 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 26: Zealand and so that was a very targeted at eighty 807 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 26: five percent. We noticed there was a real trend where 808 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 26: with the licensed drivers in that age group, and obviously 809 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 26: as you get older you have to go through a 810 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 26: lot more testing from seventy five, but the ones that 811 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 26: still have their license, they definitely there was a spike 812 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 26: there that we found quite interesting. You know, according to 813 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 26: the population drivers, so they might it's not so obviously 814 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 26: you look at the overalls road staffs, so seventy you know, 815 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 26: when you're looking at the New Zealand of sort of 816 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 26: older drivers, which you know they count perhaps say ten 817 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 26: percent of the total from seventy six to one hundred, 818 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,479 Speaker 26: but then you sort of beg into by license older 819 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 26: and that it's a really spiked. 820 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 3: Right do you know why? I mean, is it is 821 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,280 Speaker 3: it that you've got a lot of older people behind 822 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 3: the world maybe having a medical event and crashing because 823 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 3: of that, or is it that they're having accidents for 824 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 3: other reasons. 825 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 26: It's probably a range of all those regions, So I mean, 826 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 26: this is why you get that sort of testing. And 827 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 26: at the older age group. You know, some seventy five, 828 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,280 Speaker 26: you know, your cognitions, things start happening in your eyesight, 829 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 26: gets poorer, your reactions times aren't necessarily as quick as 830 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 26: when you're younger. But also your ability to survive a 831 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 26: crash is not as great either, so your your body isn't, 832 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 26: as you know, able to bounce back so to speak, 833 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 26: when you're when you're in a crash. So you know 834 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 26: that's why they sort of coming through. 835 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 3: Do we do anything you mentioned that you've been comparing 836 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 3: with Australia, Do we do anything differently to them when 837 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 3: it comes to older drivers. 838 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 26: To older drivers. I was just talking to my colleague 839 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 26: and Australia about this. Actually we caught the interview and 840 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 26: it seems very similar. It's the same sort of thing 841 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 26: where you do in cognition tests and maybe going on 842 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 26: and doing a driver since we've driver training. So so 843 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 26: in New Zealand you go and get your medical but 844 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 26: then you'll benefit. The doctor thinks, oh, maybe you'll have 845 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 26: to go and do it and basit your refit you 846 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,240 Speaker 26: driver license and test again and so and that happens 847 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 26: sort of every two years from once you tune eighty, 848 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 26: not that you have to set your test again, but 849 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,439 Speaker 26: you have to go and get checked. And I think 850 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 26: it's similar. I haven't dig dug straight into exactly what 851 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 26: they do. But it is similar and it's a similar 852 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 26: trend that we're seeing across both country. 853 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 3: Interesting. Maria, thank you very much for that. Great to 854 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 3: have you on the show. Maria Lovelock, general manager and 855 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 3: z at Road Safety Education Brian bred It's gone nineteen 856 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 3: minutes after five. So Trump, we told you about this 857 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 3: the other week. Trump is ditching the paper straws and 858 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 3: the cardboard straws and saying bring back plastic. We've got 859 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 3: countries pulling out of the Paris Accord, left, right and center. 860 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 3: You've got in this country, you've got Winston and you've 861 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 3: got Seymour saying that we should do the same, basically 862 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 3: pull out of it, although they're both now talking about 863 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 3: different time frames for doing that. Now you might have 864 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 3: seen this in the news today. We've got KeyWe companies 865 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 3: pulling out of climate change schemes and initiatives. This is 866 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 3: New Zealand businesses, some quite big ones too, I might 867 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 3: add leaving, you have to say, leaving in a much 868 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 3: more quiet fashion, a much more quieter affair than when 869 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 3: they entered into these climate change in green initiatives. They're 870 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 3: almost doing an Irish goodbye. You know, they're ghosting them 871 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 3: so that nobody knows because it sounds good when you 872 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 3: join one and everyone goes, oh, plan, that's fantastic, but 873 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 3: leaving sh don't say anything anyway. So who is doing this? 874 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 3: This is the Science Based Targets Initiative, which does exactly 875 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 3: what it sounds like it does. We're talking here about 876 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 3: silver Fern Farms, although they are saying they're leaving because 877 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 3: ofroblems with measuring their emissions a whole bunch of other reasons. 878 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 3: But the other one that's interesting is Auckland Airport. Now 879 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 3: Auckland Airport is leaving this because they say ninety percent 880 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 3: of their emissions are surprise, surprise being an airport from 881 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 3: the planes that are sitting on their tarmac right and 882 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 3: they don't have responsibility for the emissions from those planes. 883 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 3: That's up to the airlines. And they say basically, until 884 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 3: the airlines can solve the problem of emissions out the 885 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 3: back of a plane from the jet fuel, then there's 886 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 3: not much they can do. Hands are tired, So the 887 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 3: question is, why did you sign a stupid thing in 888 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 3: the first place. Twenty one after five newstalksb. 889 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: On the iHeart app and in your car on your 890 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 1: drive home, it's Ryan Bridge on Heather duplicy allan drive 891 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: with one New Zealand. 892 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 2: Let's get connected. News talks'd be. 893 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 3: Five twenty four. Winston Peters continues to call out Riccardo 894 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 3: men Ende's march in the House, and there are many 895 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 3: good reasons to call out Riccardo Menenda's march in the House, 896 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, but continues to call him out 897 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,879 Speaker 3: using the fact that he was born in Mexico as 898 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 3: the basis to make an attack. And it's starting to 899 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 3: get on my nerves a little bit. So Winston Peters 900 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 3: asked why an immigrant like Ricardo Menindi's mart was allowed 901 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 3: to call New Zealand altered in the House. Menindis march 902 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,399 Speaker 3: said the Prime Minister should get involved in all of. 903 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 21: This again, what we have this language and behavior that 904 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 21: can translates to home outside. 905 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 3: Of his four doors. Winston Peters he reckons his comments 906 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 3: were totally okay. 907 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 18: He applied to a country whose ours is just called 908 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 18: New Zealand, and in this parliament has just changed the 909 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 18: company's name without the mandate the authority of referend zial people. 910 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 3: I think we can have this debate, a civil debate 911 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 3: about whether Alta should be the name of New Zealand, 912 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 3: or shouldn't be the name of New Zealand, or should 913 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,720 Speaker 3: be used in Parliament to refer to New Zealand without 914 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 3: going down the track and saying, hey, you're from Mexico. 915 00:46:59,080 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 3: You just got here. 916 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 27: Yeah. 917 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 3: I think it's a bit of a race to the bottom. 918 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 3: I think we can have a civilized debate without needing 919 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,439 Speaker 3: to point out where everybody was born. I mean, isn't 920 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,399 Speaker 3: that part of the problem in the first place. Isn't 921 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 3: that part of the problem that Winston is trying to address, 922 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 3: this obsession with who your fucker papa is or who 923 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 3: you know, who you were born to in New Zealand, 924 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,399 Speaker 3: whether you were born overseas or whether you were born here, 925 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 3: who your parents were, who your grandparents were. His point 926 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 3: is actually who cares right, So by constantly pointing out 927 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 3: where Riccardo Menendi's march was born, he's undermining his own 928 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 3: argument just a little bit, don't you think twenty six 929 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,240 Speaker 3: after five Ray and Bridge, great story about rocket Lab today? 930 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,479 Speaker 3: Did you read this? A rocket Lab ready to serve 931 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,959 Speaker 3: the Pentagon? Nothing really new because we know that they've 932 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 3: got a contract with the Pentagon and that's been in 933 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 3: place for about a year. But what they're going to 934 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 3: do now from Mahia is launch rockets that one of satellites. 935 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 3: I should say that one day might be used for 936 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,879 Speaker 3: military capabilities. The payload could have you know, it could 937 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 3: be used for spying, could be used for observing military operations, 938 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 3: et cetera. And the contention is, and there's lots of 939 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 3: people who've protested about this, we don't want that, we 940 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 3: don't like that, and I just think, so what you know. 941 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously it's not a great thing that wars happen, 942 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 3: but the fact is they do happen. And the fact 943 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 3: is that this type of equipment will be sent to space, 944 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 3: whether we deal or someone else does it. Surely we 945 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 3: should make the money. Nine two the numbers text twenty 946 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 3: seven minutes after five. Lots of people saying, Ryan, what 947 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 3: the hell is an Irish goodbye? 948 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 25: Hat? 949 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 3: Says, I'm irish is when you just suddenly disappear from 950 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 3: the party because you're a bit drunk.

There b This is a text from one 961 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,439 Speaker 3: of our listeners, Ryan on Wayne Brown. We had Wayne 962 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 3: Brown on the show earlier. He's gonna run for here again. Surprise, surprise. 963 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 3: What's actually changed AT is still clogging up the roads 964 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 3: with cones. It doesn't matter where you live in New Zealand, 965 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 3: you will know the story. It's a familiar one, clogging 966 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,760 Speaker 3: up the roads with cones and long term pointless cycle lanes. 967 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 3: He's talked a good game, but I haven't seen any 968 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 3: change AT is killing businesses one so about a time 969 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,360 Speaker 3: I completely agree with you. Do you know what's actually 970 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 3: quite bad about what Wayne didn't? I didn't have a 971 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 3: chance to ask him about it. But and because it's 972 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 3: also a bit of a personal gripe, because I'm stuck 973 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 3: in traffic every day with these building, these bloody cycle 974 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 3: lanes that no one's in, which frustrates, you know end. 975 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 3: But he's hand in control. This is the dearly done 976 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 3: with the government. Will hand control for cycle lanes, for 977 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 3: speed limits, for raised pedestrian crossings, and for changes to parking. 978 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 3: In other words, everything that makes you enraged in the world, 979 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 3: he's hand in control of that. From Auckland Transport to 980 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 3: local boards. Have you ever seen the people that sit 981 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 3: on local boards. They are insane, They look insane, they 982 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 3: sound insane, they are insane. It is an insane asylum 983 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,320 Speaker 3: at a local board meeting. So I just think the 984 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 3: whole plot. In fact, if I would prefer, I think 985 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 3: I would actually prefer Auckland Transport to be in charge 986 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 3: of cycle lanes than the local board. 987 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, The. 988 00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 3: All Blacks are looking to avenge one of their historic defeat. 989 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 3: The team will be playing a Test against Ireland at 990 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 3: Soldier Field in Chicago in November. You may recall at 991 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 3: the last time the All Blacks played Island at Solderfield 992 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen, things didn't go too well for US. 993 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 3: Ireland has been to the. 994 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 29: All Blacks the culmination of a historic week at Chicago, 995 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,319 Speaker 29: Ireland forty New Zealand twenty nine. 996 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 3: That was, of course the first time that Ireland ever 997 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 3: won a Test match against New Zealand, but they've gone 998 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 3: on to beat US four more times since then. Not 999 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 3: that we need reminding.

So look, we're 1017 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,760 Speaker 9: really excited. We're going to build a huge week around 1018 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 9: the match. You know, lots of different sectors and industries 1019 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,800 Speaker 9: and fans from different parts of the world engauging already, 1020 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 9: so we're looking forward to it. 1021 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,800 Speaker 3: You need to get Trump involved, like they did a 1022 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 3: Daytona that was a master stroke. 1023 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 16: Yeah. 1024 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 30: I mean we're obviously influencers are becoming a big part 1025 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,719 Speaker 30: of sport, you know, in different leagues and teams and 1026 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,799 Speaker 30: athletes around the world. So I don't know whatever to 1027 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,239 Speaker 30: think about that, but certainly last year we had Jason 1028 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 30: Maamara on board with. 1029 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 9: Different ideas coming into this game. So, yeah, what's up. 1030 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 3: While we've got you? Are you do you reckon? You 1031 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:51,359 Speaker 3: can get any money out of any of us? 1032 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,120 Speaker 9: Hey, we're going to add at the moment, you know we're. 1033 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,319 Speaker 3: Are you're still talking to each other. 1034 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 9: Yeah, we're going to some stage, you know, look to 1035 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 9: begin steps to work through it and all the rest 1036 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 9: of it.

But look, we'll be very constructive and respectful 1038 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:15,280 Speaker 9: in the process. 1039 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 3: Would you try and settle, ideally settle out of court? 1040 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 3: I mean, you don't want to have to go to 1041 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:19,760 Speaker 3: court there. 1042 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:26,200 Speaker 9: Well, look, we'll just see how the ongoing interaction he received, 1043 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:27,760 Speaker 9: you know, is he open? 1044 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 25: Oh? 1045 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 9: I think both organizations, like I say, are in contact 1046 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 9: and we'll just carry on working front. 1047 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,320 Speaker 3: Have you found a new sponsor yet? 1048 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 9: Look, these things don't happen overnight that we're really fortunate, 1049 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:46,720 Speaker 9: you know, obviously in regular contact constantly with our listing 1050 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 9: partners and prospects, and so certainly, you know, the feedback 1051 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 9: we've had from all our existing partners around and domestically 1052 00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 9: is hugely supportive around the value and the sort of 1053 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 9: behaviors we bring to these these partnerships. 1054 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 3: So one of them might step up potentially, Well, you know, 1055 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:10,279 Speaker 3: we just to keep talking to people. 1056 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:15,839 Speaker 9: Certainly there's new these new prospects.

I 1131 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 5: listen to them because we have a Reserve Bank governor 1132 00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 5: who doesn't appear to know how to iron a shirt 1133 00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 5: and refuses to wear a tie and not take his 1134 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:02,720 Speaker 5: job seriously. 1135 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 2: No, look, it's terrible to say that. 1136 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:06,520 Speaker 3: Oh, it's good. 1137 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 5: Interest rates are going to come down further and faster. 1138 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 3: No, the projected growth. 1139 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 5: Compared to the same update, you know, the same document 1140 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,600 Speaker 5: they produce in November, is worse. 1141 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,440 Speaker 2: We're going backwards. 1142 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 5: Things are not good in the economy, and I mean, 1143 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,920 Speaker 5: ultimately we're all on economic growth, you know, that's what 1144 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,840 Speaker 5: makes me zeal and prosperous. That gives us the ability 1145 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 5: to pay for good public services, the ability to have 1146 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:41,480 Speaker 5: good standards of living. And we've gott every indicator for 1147 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 5: you know, for the last year, every update, it's getting 1148 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 5: worse than we thought it would be. 1149 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,840 Speaker 29: Hellie, I wonder where the cost of living plays a 1150 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 29: part in that too. I am not an economist, and 1151 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 29: as someone who's just living day to day of finding 1152 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 29: things extremely expensive. Yes, of course mortgage interest rates dropping 1153 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,000 Speaker 29: is going to help as far as have money for 1154 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:09,160 Speaker 29: people to spend, but as far as making life easier 1155 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 29: and reducing the cost of living, the food prices, we're 1156 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 29: still being ripped off by those. We've got premiums for insurance. 1157 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 29: Insurance is turning into a nice to have and it 1158 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 29: can't be. We've got rates that are out of control. 1159 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,280 Speaker 29: I mean, you can't just fix it by lowering mortgage 1160 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 29: interest rates, and I think that those other things are 1161 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 29: being left to get out of control and that's what's 1162 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 29: making life really hard for people. 1163 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point actually, because Jordan we don't 1164 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 3: have disinflation, so you know, inflation pushes all the prices up, 1165 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 3: and sure some people's wages have increased alongside that, but 1166 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 3: for most people that's not the case. For many people, 1167 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 3: that's not the case. And it's not like prices have 1168 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 3: actually gone down. I mean they go up and they 1169 00:59:55,920 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 3: stay there and they just don't increase at the same rate. Right, Yeah, 1170 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 3: that's all of that's true. 1171 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 5: But I mean the even when we go get back, 1172 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 5: when we focus to get back to growth, it's only 1173 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 5: growth per capita or GDP per capita that matters. And 1174 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 5: on that measure, we are in the longest recession or 1175 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,800 Speaker 5: quarter you know, you know, quarter to quarter to quarter 1176 01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:23,360 Speaker 5: to quarter on a per person basis, the longest since 1177 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 5: records began. You know, we're in you know, we've got 1178 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 5: real problems. And I would argue that the government simply 1179 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 5: is not acting with the urgency. Ali Rightney mentions local government, 1180 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 5: you know, the big outlier in the stat sense of 1181 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 5: data on inflation is the cost of local government and 1182 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 5: you know, Simmy and Brown was doing some great work there. 1183 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 5: We've now got, you know, the minister that's just lumped 1184 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 5: us with larger climate taxes. You know, actually though the 1185 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 5: climate tax is going up later this year with under 1186 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 5: the ets. 1187 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 3: So you're saying that government they need to move work 1188 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 3: a lot harder. Jordan Williams, tax Payer Jones, red PR. 1189 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,520 Speaker 3: We're back in a second with more from the Huddle. 1190 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty Elevate the 1191 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,000 Speaker 1: marketing of your home. 1192 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 3: Jordan Williams from the Taxpayer's Union and Ellie Jones from 1193 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 3: red PR on the Huddle tonight. The Right to Repair, 1194 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 3: So there's a member's bill before Parliament that's going to 1195 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 3: be read today and MPs will get to vote on 1196 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,800 Speaker 3: whether they think it should happens. It would force the 1197 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 3: manufacturers to repair stuff. Ellie, I just wonder how much 1198 01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 3: stuff is repairable. I mean you think exactly yeah in 1199 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 3: my camp? 1200 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 29: Yeah, no, Look, I completely agree. I don't think you 1201 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 29: can force companies to do a repair. I think the 1202 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 29: Consumer Guarantees Act is pretty clear as far as the 1203 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 29: life of an object or thing is and I think 1204 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 29: that that works pretty well when people know how it 1205 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 29: works and they call people out on it, and I 1206 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 29: do that regularly. I return the vacuum cleaner yesterday. How 1207 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,760 Speaker 29: long should something last? You know, let's have that discussion. 1208 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,360 Speaker 29: If it's cheap, is it a fair expectation that it 1209 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 29: won't last? And it's just tough if it breaks? I 1210 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,960 Speaker 29: think it's admirable this kind of idea. I don't think 1211 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,840 Speaker 29: it will work. We have places in christ Church where 1212 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:09,080 Speaker 29: you take things to get them repaired. There's one Enrichmond 1213 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 29: near me called Repair Revolution. I've had a handbag repaired 1214 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 29: and and a lamp repaired. Yeah, I don't think it's 1215 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,320 Speaker 29: feasible to be able to make something like that work. 1216 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 29: Not everything can be repaired. Let's time make things last 1217 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 29: as long as they can. But you know, are people 1218 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,240 Speaker 29: are going to have the time or the wherewithal to 1219 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 29: actually get something repaired or just take it to the dump. 1220 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 29: I think it'll be the latter. 1221 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:30,920 Speaker 3: What happened to your vacuum cleaner? 1222 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,920 Speaker 29: It stopped sucking, which is quite important for a vacuum cleaner. 1223 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 29: And when I took it back Ryan, I was told 1224 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 29: that I hadn't cleaned the filters, and I felt I 1225 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,680 Speaker 29: felt quite put out by that someone was questioning my 1226 01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 29: parenting ability of a vacuum cleaner. And so but anyway, 1227 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 29: they were very good customers, always right, So thumbs up 1228 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 29: to Bristol. 1229 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 3: They fixed it and you went home with the repair. 1230 01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 29: No, because I'd already bought another one and they couldn't 1231 01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 29: fix it. So they gave me my money back. So 1232 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 29: I did say that Consumer Guarantees Act allows me to 1233 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 29: do this, and they agree. 1234 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 3: And how long ago did you buy it? 1235 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 29: October twenty fifth of October? 1236 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,040 Speaker 3: Ah, okay, so that's fair enough. Jordan went, have you 1237 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 3: taken anything back to the store lately? 1238 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 5: No, But I sort of to have something similar to 1239 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,640 Speaker 5: this and that a few years ago I brought something 1240 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 5: called a car thing off Spotify, which is like a 1241 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:23,160 Speaker 5: controller for you, sort of remote controller for Spotify. And 1242 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 5: then just before Christmas they up and said, oh, we're 1243 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,280 Speaker 5: no longer supporting that anymore, and just like pulled the 1244 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 5: software support for it. So this thing that costs like 1245 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 5: one hundred yuears no longer words thought, was that rageous 1246 01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:37,040 Speaker 5: in terms. 1247 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 11: Of the right to repair? 1248 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 5: A lot of this sort of goes back to this, 1249 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 5: is it a movement for consumer movement in the US 1250 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 5: when John Deer started making all these stuff proprietary so 1251 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 5: that Joe Farmer couldn't go and fix it. It's it's like, 1252 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 5: I mean, bumper stick of policy. Really God, but realistically 1253 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 5: Apple going to change the design of their iPhone to 1254 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 5: make the battery replaceable or being able to the consumer 1255 01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,920 Speaker 5: be able to do it. I think in a world 1256 01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 5: of electronics where stuff is frankly, you know, a lot 1257 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,800 Speaker 5: more proprietary in the like I think Allie's you know, 1258 01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 5: this conversation has shown it. It's a strong consumer guarantees 1259 01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:17,160 Speaker 5: act things are fit for purpose. That's more important than 1260 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 5: the ability to sort of you know, to tinker with 1261 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 5: tinker with with with your John Dare or whatever. 1262 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, or you're so many texts coming in today 1263 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,880 Speaker 3: about water blasters. Apparently water a lot of water blasters 1264 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,240 Speaker 3: breaking around New Zealand and they will charge you half 1265 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,840 Speaker 3: the cost of the brand new water blast. Crisis crisis. 1266 01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 3: Everyone's going to have filthy homes just to fix. 1267 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 5: But a water blaster would be fun to fix. 1268 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:43,280 Speaker 17: You know. 1269 01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 5: There's some things that look, I can't push a pen 1270 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,920 Speaker 5: round for a living. So my summer was like you know, 1271 01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 5: at the at my wife's of the family batch. You 1272 01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:56,800 Speaker 5: know that I broke the ride on. 1273 01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 2: I don't know anything about ride ons. 1274 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,480 Speaker 5: I'm terrible that sort of thing. But what probably took 1275 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 5: someone with any skill half an hour took me two 1276 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:05,959 Speaker 5: days and. 1277 01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 32: I loved it. 1278 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 3: It was so satisfying. 1279 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,800 Speaker 29: You're exceptional, though, Jordan, No, you're definitely exceptional. There are 1280 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 29: many people who would take take a look at something 1281 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 29: like that and either not even give it a go, 1282 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 29: or give it a go for ten minutes and then 1283 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 29: lose interest in That would be me. So that's the 1284 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,320 Speaker 29: other thing. It's going to end up in landfill or 1285 01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 29: be sold cheap as is, whereas I don't think people 1286 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,480 Speaker 29: are going to you know, if you've got something in law, 1287 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:28,960 Speaker 29: I don't think it's going to make any difference. 1288 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 3: Allie Jones, thank you very much from Red pr and 1289 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 3: Jordan Williams from the Taxpayers Union. And what have we 1290 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,240 Speaker 3: learned from that discussion where we've learned that whoever Jordan 1291 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 3: is married to has parents have a batch that's big 1292 01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 3: enough to have its own right on lawnmower. It's six 1293 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:46,640 Speaker 3: minutes away from six. 1294 01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duplessy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1295 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:55,320 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio powered by News TALKSB News Talks. 1296 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 3: There be four away from six lots of texts on 1297 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 3: the issue of hearing your goods. I like this from 1298 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 3: a cobbler in christ Church, which is a shoe repairer. 1299 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:09,200 Speaker 3: Sorry in Hamilton, forgive me, Hi, Ryan, We are flat 1300 01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 3: out at the moment. But there is a difference between 1301 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,480 Speaker 3: a decent leather shoe and a km up warehouse shoe. 1302 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 3: The cheaper ones are more expensive to resole. That means 1303 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 3: they are really worth fixing. But if you buy something 1304 01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 3: decent to start with, it is actually quite economical to 1305 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,440 Speaker 3: repair it. You don't throw your car out because you 1306 01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:28,000 Speaker 3: need new tires. 1307 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 8: Do you. 1308 01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:30,680 Speaker 3: I suppose it's not, but I mean, it just depends 1309 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,360 Speaker 3: how much you've got to spend up front on a 1310 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 3: pair of shoes.

That's 1327 01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 3: all I head here on the Business Hour right now. 1328 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,919 Speaker 3: Fetcher Building is in the red again, a company today 1329 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,280 Speaker 3: announcing it made one hundred and thirty four million dollar 1330 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,600 Speaker 3: net loss after tacks for the half year two December. 1331 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 3: That's down one hundred from one hundred and twenty million 1332 01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 3: dollars last year. It's the tough result for the entire 1333 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 3: business with the clients basically across all of the different 1334 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:55,000 Speaker 3: business units. Andrew reading as fletch A's chief executive Andrew. 1335 01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:57,160 Speaker 25: Hello, Hello, it's nice to meet you're own. 1336 01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,040 Speaker 3: Nice to talk to you too. So you're not selling 1337 01:07:59,160 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 3: enough stuff. 1338 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 25: Basically, it's a bit difficult too when the market isn't 1339 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 25: there to buy it. 1340 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 3: Do you know, do you think the market has bottomed out? 1341 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:10,400 Speaker 9: Look? 1342 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 25: I mean that's a question on everybody's lips. And we 1343 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,559 Speaker 25: hear some people saying there are green shoots. We're a 1344 01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,880 Speaker 25: bit more nervous about that. There are some businesses that 1345 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 25: are seeing early signs of recovery and others aren't seeing 1346 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 25: much change in volumes at all. And remember I'm thinking 1347 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 25: about both Australia and New Zealand when I say that. 1348 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 25: So with some of the interest rate cuts around October 1349 01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 25: last year, we did see a small pickup in our 1350 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 25: residential and development business, about a seventeen percent increasing sales 1351 01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:46,639 Speaker 25: in September to December period versus the July and August. 1352 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 25: But it's not boom times yet. And I think what 1353 01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,599 Speaker 25: people forget is that even if you start dropping interest rates, 1354 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 25: there's a period between in thinking about a house and 1355 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 25: it getting built, and that period anywhere between six and 1356 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:01,960 Speaker 25: nine months sort of thing. 1357 01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,799 Speaker 3: We've just had Adrian or announce say another fifty basis 1358 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,920 Speaker 3: point cut to the ici. He's talking about another fifty 1359 01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 3: by midyear. Getting down to three by the end of 1360 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 3: the year. That'll obviously be good news to your ears. 1361 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:14,600 Speaker 3: Welcome news for you. 1362 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 25: I assume it has just brought a smile to my face. 1363 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 25: I will have to admit. I think what we have 1364 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,080 Speaker 25: to remember is that it will take time to feed through. 1365 01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 25: But it does underline that it's not a case of 1366 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 25: when the market change, sorry if the market changes, but 1367 01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,760 Speaker 25: when it changes. So I have no doubts in my 1368 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:35,800 Speaker 25: mind that at some stage or other we will start 1369 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,920 Speaker 25: to see demand taking off of a lot of what 1370 01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,040 Speaker 25: we're doing at the moment. In the cost out exercise, 1371 01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 25: we've been carrying it out. It's the right size of 1372 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 25: our business and get it prepared and ready for any 1373 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,639 Speaker 25: uplift in the market that might happen. 1374 01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been cutting costs and you're actually a head 1375 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 3: of schedule. What have you been cutting? 1376 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 25: So we've got ninety one million out for the half year, 1377 01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 25: sixty million of which is in overheads and thirty million 1378 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,920 Speaker 25: is in cogs. So the cogs is the sort of 1379 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 25: variable cost that you might have in supplying product. The 1380 01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 25: overhead has been a whole variety of activities, including some 1381 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:21,640 Speaker 25: heads out, some facilities being shuttle mothboard. So it's a 1382 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 25: whole range of activities. 1383 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 3: Obviously you're going to wait for the market to pick 1384 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 3: up again, but you can't just sit on your hands 1385 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,160 Speaker 3: while you do that. So I note that you're going 1386 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,760 Speaker 3: to review the business parts of the business, including Placemakers. 1387 01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:33,400 Speaker 3: Why placemakers and what are you planning? 1388 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 25: I think that that was taken slightly out of context. 1389 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 25: Placemakers is one of our leading businesses. But what we're 1390 01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 25: doing there is historically the number of branches that were 1391 01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:50,200 Speaker 25: managed by JV partners has been reduced, and what we're 1392 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,200 Speaker 25: going to do now is actually increase the number of 1393 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 25: JV partners that we have, especially in the rural branches. 1394 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,439 Speaker 25: And we find that if you have somebody who is 1395 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 25: a skin in the game aim, then they pay absolute 1396 01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 25: attention to the branch's profit loss account and they give 1397 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 25: excellent customer service. So we're just going to tweak the 1398 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 25: model rather than review it. 1399 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 3: Right, So having someone local actually makes a big difference to. 1400 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 25: A business, huge difference. 1401 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting, Andrew, thank you very much for that. Really 1402 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:19,439 Speaker 3: appreciate your time. 1403 01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,080 Speaker 25: No problem is all likes to talk to you. 1404 01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,719 Speaker 3: That's Andrew reading Chief executive at Fletcher Building with us tonight. 1405 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:29,040 Speaker 3: They're just announced today.

She's with US tonight. Hi Jane, 1447 01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 3: Hi Ryan. Now, I saw your question and I thought, 1448 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,960 Speaker 3: great question to the Reserve Bank today at the press 1449 01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,759 Speaker 3: about the longer term rates, your two to five years, 1450 01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:39,240 Speaker 3: what can we expect to see there? 1451 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:45,720 Speaker 32: That's right, Assistant Governor Karen Silk basically tempered people's expectations 1452 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:49,240 Speaker 32: around those longer term rates coming down. She made the 1453 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:53,519 Speaker 32: point that, yes, the OCI has a more direct impact 1454 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,400 Speaker 32: on floating rates and on shorter term rates, but when 1455 01:13:56,479 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 32: it comes to those two, three, four five year mortgage rates, 1456 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:05,240 Speaker 32: those are affected by a range of international factors that 1457 01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:08,640 Speaker 32: are beyond the Reserve banks control. So the thing is 1458 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,680 Speaker 32: is that at the moment, some of those factors are 1459 01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,719 Speaker 32: putting quite a bit of upward pressure on interest rates. 1460 01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,719 Speaker 32: So if you are floating or fixing for a short term, 1461 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,200 Speaker 32: those rates will keep coming down a bit. But if 1462 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,679 Speaker 32: you're looking to fix longer term, we might not see 1463 01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 32: mortgage rates come down too much. Now, some of those 1464 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 32: factors that are pushing up those rates are the fact 1465 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,639 Speaker 32: that investors around the world are worried about Donald Trump's 1466 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 32: policies being inflationary, so Federal Reserve interest rate that the 1467 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 32: Federal Reserve not cutting rates as quickly also worried about 1468 01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:49,240 Speaker 32: geopolitical risks and worried about the US, the finances in 1469 01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:53,479 Speaker 32: the US and the government's fiscal deficit. So those factors 1470 01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 32: are making it more expensive for banks to borrow, and 1471 01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:01,240 Speaker 32: that does affect people looking to fixing more for longer term. 1472 01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,479 Speaker 3: We're getting punched in the head twice, isn't it. You know, Well, 1473 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 3: finally we get some relief, but oh no, actually we've 1474 01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,320 Speaker 3: got trumps. So those longer term rates aren't going to 1475 01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 3: be as attractive as we would have hoped. 1476 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,400 Speaker 32: I know, it's it's really it's really one thing after 1477 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 32: the next. And yeah, and you know, the Reserve Bank 1478 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 32: did share a bit of data on that. They said 1479 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 32: that currently the average interest rate that banks receive on 1480 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,400 Speaker 32: all the mortgages is about six point two percent. By December, 1481 01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,719 Speaker 32: they reckon it'll only get to five point seven percent. 1482 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:35,280 Speaker 32: So while, you know, while we'll start to feel those 1483 01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 32: lower interest rates quite soon, the overall impact is not 1484 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,559 Speaker 32: going to be big. Like, if the average interest rate 1485 01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:43,960 Speaker 32: that banks are receiving is only five point seven percent 1486 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 32: by December, you know that shows that the rates will 1487 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,320 Speaker 32: you know, stay stay wee bit elevated five point seven 1488 01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 32: percent is the level that it was at in late 1489 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 32: twenty twenty three. 1490 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 3: Wow, that is a really interesting stat Were you surprised 1491 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 3: the rbn Z still very firm on seventy five basis 1492 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 3: point cuts this year? 1493 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:10,040 Speaker 32: Yeah, that it was a little bit more dubbish than 1494 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:14,160 Speaker 32: it was in November. I think that the bank is 1495 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 32: worried about the effect that tariffs and some of this 1496 01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:22,160 Speaker 32: sture of political instability will have on GDP growth. It 1497 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:25,240 Speaker 32: didn't interestingly take a view on the impact tariffs would 1498 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 32: have on inflation. That was something I was looking out for, 1499 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,360 Speaker 32: but it said that we don't really know and there 1500 01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,680 Speaker 32: are quite a few moving parts there. Something else that 1501 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,920 Speaker 32: people will be interested in is it's doesn't think house 1502 01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,960 Speaker 32: price growth will recover too much. So it actually thinks 1503 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:42,719 Speaker 32: house prices annually will will keep falling at the start 1504 01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:46,479 Speaker 32: of this year and then sort of return to single 1505 01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:50,120 Speaker 32: digit growth. So it doesn't believe that lower interest rates 1506 01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,760 Speaker 32: will see house prices take off anywhere close to the 1507 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:54,559 Speaker 32: way they took off during the pandemic. 1508 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:56,600 Speaker 3: Interesting stuff. Jan I think he was always to know 1509 01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:58,439 Speaker 3: showining with us and he's on the hero of Baldy 1510 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,120 Speaker 3: from Business editor who has all the good numbers nineteen 1511 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:02,960 Speaker 3: minutes after six here on news Talks here b. It's 1512 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:05,920 Speaker 3: interesting they also talked about in the in the report 1513 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,400 Speaker 3: that they put out today about you know, with a 1514 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:12,200 Speaker 3: lower inflash are sure a lower exchange rate, stuff is 1515 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:16,680 Speaker 3: obviously more expensive for US overseas. It's great for our exporters, 1516 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,639 Speaker 3: but it makes our inputs more expensive, and so there 1517 01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,760 Speaker 3: is a risk of petrol prices started to go up 1518 01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 3: as they're expected to. Plus you add your exchange rate, 1519 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,439 Speaker 3: and there's a risk of importing inflation. So there's all 1520 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 3: these things that they have to balance up. I'm not 1521 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:31,559 Speaker 3: saying it's an easy job. I think anyone's ever said 1522 01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 3: it's an easy job. But when they get it wrong, 1523 01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:35,920 Speaker 3: we reserve the right to come down on them like 1524 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:37,799 Speaker 3: a ton of brick. Storme you because it's very bloody 1525 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 3: expensive to have a mortgage, thank you very much. Twenty 1526 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,000 Speaker 3: after six.

Hey, Remy Hi, Ryan, 1531 01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:02,760 Speaker 3: how's it going. You have a really good Thank you, 1532 01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:04,760 Speaker 3: thanks for being on the show with us. How did 1533 01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,080 Speaker 3: the market three? Obviously a lot to digesterday We've had 1534 01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,280 Speaker 3: company results, but we're the main thing, of course, was 1535 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,320 Speaker 3: the RBNZ. How did the market react? 1536 01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,719 Speaker 31: Yeah, so today's Reserve Bank meeting that was the first 1537 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,719 Speaker 31: since November last year, given we've had the summer holiday 1538 01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 31: and the fifty basis point cut today was largely expected 1539 01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,400 Speaker 31: and almost fully priced in. So what was actually more 1540 01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:30,280 Speaker 31: interest was the rbn zaid forward track. So this was 1541 01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,240 Speaker 31: revised down little, implying that the rate cuts will come 1542 01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:36,879 Speaker 31: in slightly quicker than what was previously expected by the RBNZ. 1543 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 31: So their track is now forecasting two twenty five basis 1544 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,960 Speaker 31: point cuts by July this year and a cache erate 1545 01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,040 Speaker 31: of around three point one percent by the end of 1546 01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 31: the year, which is down from three point five to 1547 01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:52,200 Speaker 31: five percent previously. Now that's actually a lot more closely 1548 01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,160 Speaker 31: aligned to what the market had already been pricing in 1549 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:58,439 Speaker 31: going into the meeting. So because of that, the market 1550 01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,679 Speaker 31: reaction was pretty subdue and there was really no major 1551 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 31: or unexpected moves to call out. Now the next meeting 1552 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,200 Speaker 31: is on the ninth of April and another twenty five 1553 01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:12,400 Speaker 31: basis point cut is essentially fully priced by the market, 1554 01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 31: but what actually happens will depend on the data and 1555 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,719 Speaker 31: what unfolds between now and then. 1556 01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,800 Speaker 3: Remy. If we think about what's happening in the US, 1557 01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,759 Speaker 3: obviously there's a lot of uncertainty there to what extent 1558 01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,439 Speaker 3: that influenced the Reserve Bank's decision today. 1559 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,719 Speaker 31: Yeah, that's a good question. So the US Federal Reserve 1560 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,879 Speaker 31: is currently on pores with its interest rate easing cycle, 1561 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:38,559 Speaker 31: and this was something that the RBNSI did discuss, as 1562 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 31: the market is now pricing in less cuts in the 1563 01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,280 Speaker 31: US than back at the time of their meeting in November, 1564 01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 31: and this has implications for the currency. We've already seen 1565 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,479 Speaker 31: the New Zealand dollar quite a bit weaker against the 1566 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:54,280 Speaker 31: US since November. There's also quite a lot of uncertainty 1567 01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:59,200 Speaker 31: around the US tariffs, and the RBNS also discussed these risks. Now, 1568 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 31: the impact of T restrictions really remains quite uncertain, but 1569 01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,200 Speaker 31: it might be something that needs to be factored into 1570 01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:09,160 Speaker 31: future monetary policy responses. Now, these things can take a 1571 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:10,960 Speaker 31: bit of time to play out, and we'll see the 1572 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,559 Speaker 31: z RB and z respond accordingly, we. 1573 01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,040 Speaker 3: Also had the Reserve Bank of Australia use today. How 1574 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,759 Speaker 3: does this contrast with what's happening here in New Zealand. 1575 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,760 Speaker 31: Yes, so yesterday the RBA finally cut its policy rate, 1576 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,920 Speaker 31: but only by twenty five basis points to four point 1577 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:33,439 Speaker 31: one percent. Now, this was its first cut to this cycle. Now, 1578 01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 31: as we know in New Zealand, we've already been cutting 1579 01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 31: since August last year and from a much higher peak 1580 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:41,840 Speaker 31: cash rate of five point five percent, And the tone 1581 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,280 Speaker 31: of the RBA implied that there could be a slower 1582 01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:47,200 Speaker 31: pace of rate cuts from here than what the market 1583 01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:50,679 Speaker 31: was pricing, which obviously compares to a slightly faster pace 1584 01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:54,880 Speaker 31: now expected by the rbn Z in New Zealand. Another 1585 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,120 Speaker 31: key difference is that in Australia the labor market remains 1586 01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:03,560 Speaker 31: much tighter, and THERB actually revised down its peak unemployment 1587 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,640 Speaker 31: forecast of four point two percent, which compares to the 1588 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:11,440 Speaker 31: expectation of five point two percent peak unemployment in New Zealand. 1589 01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,360 Speaker 31: So I think based on the current data, it's fair 1590 01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 31: to say that we could see some continued divergence between 1591 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 31: the easing cycle in New Zealand and Australia. But again, 1592 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 31: this remains started dependent. 1593 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:24,519 Speaker 3: Certainly sounds like it, Remy, thank you very much for 1594 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:26,680 Speaker 3: that. That's Remy Morgan from Milford. 1595 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,880 Speaker 2: Asset Management, Bryan Bridge. 1596 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,800 Speaker 3: Twenty six minutes halfter six here on News Talk ZMB. 1597 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,640 Speaker 3: So you would have heard yesterday this possible sighting of 1598 01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,400 Speaker 3: Tom Phillips and his kids, and how many of these 1599 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,080 Speaker 3: have we had? And you think, oh goodness, they might 1600 01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,639 Speaker 3: finally get him. By the way, why has no one 1601 01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 3: in New Zealand done a documentary on this? Endlessly fascinating 1602 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,240 Speaker 3: Someone needs to go out and find them, and in 1603 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,320 Speaker 3: fact there's a British film crew coming over. 1604 01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,120 Speaker 13: I feel like that might be the hard right, and 1605 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,800 Speaker 13: that might be that the documentarians are all struggling with. 1606 01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,240 Speaker 3: No but it's a mystery, right. This is how many 1607 01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 3: podcasts are out there based on Miss Trees. No one 1608 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:04,120 Speaker 3: ever solves the thing, right, it's the fascination with the mystery, right. 1609 01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:05,560 Speaker 13: All right, say you don't need to find them, You 1610 01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 13: don't need. 1611 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:07,920 Speaker 3: To find them. You just need to interview the town, 1612 01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 3: get the mayor on, go to the cops, you know 1613 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,479 Speaker 3: what I mean, talk to the dairy owner, all of 1614 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,320 Speaker 3: that stuff. But anyway, a British film crew is coming 1615 01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:17,760 Speaker 3: to it anyway, I'm getting distracted. So the update is 1616 01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,800 Speaker 3: they haven't found them. It wasn't them. Police have said 1617 01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:22,720 Speaker 3: that there was a group cited on State Highway for 1618 01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,400 Speaker 3: around eight thirty am on Sunday, the sixteenth of February, 1619 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 3: who were potentially Tom Phillips and his kids. They said 1620 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,400 Speaker 3: they were not received a number of calls from people 1621 01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:32,640 Speaker 3: in the area a person who was part of the 1622 01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:36,519 Speaker 3: group in question, which has since been confirmed it wasn't 1623 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:38,840 Speaker 3: Tom Phillips and his stry children. So there you go. 1624 01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,679 Speaker 3: Someone going to a doco twenty seven up to six. 1625 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,439 Speaker 2: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1626 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:50,760 Speaker 1: The business hour with Ryan Bridge and Mayor's Insurance and investments, 1627 01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:52,960 Speaker 1: grow your wealth, protect your future. 1628 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 2: News dogs that'd be. 1629 01:22:55,160 --> 01:23:04,400 Speaker 11: The mass baby, just me and a drug like a 1630 01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:05,719 Speaker 11: califon King. 1631 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:09,559 Speaker 2: We've been breaking you know, twenty far. 1632 01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 3: And away from the seven. You're on news Talk ZMB tonight. 1633 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,719 Speaker 3: It's great to have your company now. Dennis has text 1634 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,320 Speaker 3: us And for those who are outside Auckland, you won't 1635 01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:21,240 Speaker 3: necessarily get this advert that's on the radio at the moment, 1636 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,280 Speaker 3: but here if you are in the city of Sales, 1637 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:27,320 Speaker 3: you'll hear Wayne Brown placing ads all the way through 1638 01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 3: news Talk ZDB to say I'm running for Maria of 1639 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 3: Auckland and you should vote for me. And he's done 1640 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:34,920 Speaker 3: this to time it with his press conference, which was today, 1641 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:38,120 Speaker 3: which is quite a shrewd thing to do. And Dennis says, Ryan, 1642 01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,439 Speaker 3: do we have to listen to Wayne Brown adverts from 1643 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:44,559 Speaker 3: now all the way until the October election? No, says Dennis, 1644 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 3: I would think not. I think they're slightly expensive things 1645 01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 3: to purchase. I don't imagine he'll be doing all the 1646 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 3: way till October. However, I think it's a smart thing 1647 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:56,639 Speaker 3: to do because if you'll notice this, no matter where 1648 01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,080 Speaker 3: you live in New Zealand, you will notice that the 1649 01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 3: he who will the poll wins the election. So what 1650 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:04,800 Speaker 3: Wayne Brown is doing is getting out ahead of all 1651 01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,880 Speaker 3: of the competition. Who are they anyway getting out ahead 1652 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,599 Speaker 3: of all the competitions, cementing his name as the one 1653 01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,960 Speaker 3: you vote for early on. Then the polsters come in 1654 01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 3: they say who you're going to vote for? People go, well, 1655 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,400 Speaker 3: there's only one name in town, it's Wayne Brown, and boom, 1656 01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 3: he wins the election, which I think, and it's an 1657 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,720 Speaker 3: easy prediction to make that he will. Twenty four away 1658 01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:29,839 Speaker 3: from seven, Fonterra is advancing its plans for selling off Anchor, 1659 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,080 Speaker 3: Mainland and its other consumer brands. The co op hasn't 1660 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,639 Speaker 3: quite decided whether to sell the brands to another business 1661 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:38,680 Speaker 3: and a trade sale yet, or whether it'll list them 1662 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,240 Speaker 3: in an IPO. But if there is an IPO, Fonterra 1663 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 3: has already chosen a name for the new business, which 1664 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:47,040 Speaker 3: would be Mainland Group, and it's already lined up a 1665 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 3: potential CEO and CFO. Oliver Amanda is the CEO of 1666 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:54,599 Speaker 3: the Shareholders Association. He's with me tonight, Hi, Oliver, got it, Ryan, 1667 01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:56,639 Speaker 3: What do you reckon it'll be? Do you reckon trade 1668 01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 3: sale or IPO? 1669 01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 17: Well, certainly this is a New Zealand with institutional or 1670 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:07,559 Speaker 17: individual investors would really welcome a sale by IPO onto 1671 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:10,479 Speaker 17: the ins and X. And really, given that the fact 1672 01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,720 Speaker 17: that the brands are so well known, that is real, 1673 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:16,479 Speaker 17: we're real shot in the arm for the inside X. 1674 01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:19,559 Speaker 17: But also because it's so well known, it would probably 1675 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,040 Speaker 17: create a lot of value for Fonterra as well. 1676 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:26,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned the brands are very well known. They're 1677 01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,400 Speaker 3: also not just sold here, right, they're sold all over 1678 01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,559 Speaker 3: the world. So for if you're talking about investors coming 1679 01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:34,280 Speaker 3: at it from a sheer market point of view, that's 1680 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 3: got to be attractive. And yeah, absolutely right. 1681 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,439 Speaker 17: So certainly from an investor viewpoint is the fact that 1682 01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 17: the brands are well known here that recognize the strong 1683 01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:44,880 Speaker 17: domestic cash flows here with the New Zealand or at 1684 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:48,320 Speaker 17: least we're assuming there are. But also there's that opportunity 1685 01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,680 Speaker 17: for growth from an international market, and I think from 1686 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 17: a New Zealand Inc. Perspective, from from a broader New 1687 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,400 Speaker 17: Zealand perspective. That's why it's almost really important that actually 1688 01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 17: that this does become an IPO on the insidets owned 1689 01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:05,519 Speaker 17: by New Zealand investors, because then you've got Fonterra strategy 1690 01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,000 Speaker 17: playing out and I've talked about that being before, about 1691 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:13,600 Speaker 17: being very manufacturing focused wholesale or supply chain business, and 1692 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 17: then you get that real long term value that's that's 1693 01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:17,960 Speaker 17: brought about by investment in brands. 1694 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,560 Speaker 3: I suppose you would say that's been when the shareholders Association, 1695 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:23,639 Speaker 3: I mean, you. 1696 01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 17: Could argue that, but I think this also comes down 1697 01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 17: to where the best value is for Voluntierra. And look, 1698 01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,799 Speaker 17: I think individual investors and institutional New Zealand based investors 1699 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,720 Speaker 17: would would probably pay a premium to get hold of 1700 01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 17: a really high performing asset compared to what a private 1701 01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,760 Speaker 17: equity or a trade trade sale for the sorts of 1702 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:41,959 Speaker 17: returns that they'd be looking. 1703 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 3: For and which it could also mean that it goes 1704 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,559 Speaker 3: offshore as well, right the ownership, which would be not 1705 01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:47,280 Speaker 3: great for us. 1706 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 17: And that's absolutely right. So from New Zealand think perspective, 1707 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 17: as I said, I mean, this is really about trying 1708 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,639 Speaker 17: to preserve as much value as we can in New Zealand. 1709 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 17: So Fonterra strategy is all about trying to really sweat 1710 01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:02,360 Speaker 17: that manufacturing supply chain process. That's great for them. But 1711 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 17: then from a New Zealand perspective, let's try to preserve 1712 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,000 Speaker 17: that long term value in the brands and mainland group 1713 01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:07,759 Speaker 17: as it's proposed. 1714 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,080 Speaker 2: Actually that would do. 1715 01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,200 Speaker 17: That, That would preserve value for investors and create longer 1716 01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:13,720 Speaker 17: term value for New Zealand inc. 1717 01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,720 Speaker 3: Oliver, what do we know about the potential CEO and 1718 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,720 Speaker 3: CFO and is it unusual before they've even decided how 1719 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:21,560 Speaker 3: they'll sell it or whether they'll do an IPO to 1720 01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 3: sort of sound some. 1721 01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:27,200 Speaker 17: Out I don't think it's particularly unusual. I mean, what 1722 01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,280 Speaker 17: you've got here is a leadership to the emergence of 1723 01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:32,639 Speaker 17: a leadership team. If you're trying to promote an IPO 1724 01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:36,559 Speaker 17: into the market, actually getting getting that leadership team introduced 1725 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 17: to potential investors is actually a really good idea and 1726 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,559 Speaker 17: certain that the blend that you have here, you know, 1727 01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:47,280 Speaker 17: a long term volunteer employee, someone who is someone who 1728 01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,800 Speaker 17: the business has grown themselves into having the right capability 1729 01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,479 Speaker 17: that's needed for that business, and then also bringing in 1730 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,639 Speaker 17: the right blend of external experience and that can provide 1731 01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,880 Speaker 17: a fresh perspective and that's what's proposed And Paul Victor, 1732 01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 17: so no, look, I don't think it's particularly unusual. I 1733 01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:05,720 Speaker 17: think it's good for the market. It's good for the 1734 01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 17: company to go out and introduce the people who become 1735 01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:12,120 Speaker 17: really important to investors as this business comes on to 1736 01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:12,919 Speaker 17: the stock exchange. 1737 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Oliver, thank you very much for that. Great 1738 01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 3: to have you on the show. Oliver. Amanda the New 1739 01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:20,120 Speaker 3: Zealand shareholders Association's CEO. Just for the record, it's Renee 1740 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:23,760 Speaker 3: Didonka who is the CEO elect for Mainland Group. And 1741 01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:27,560 Speaker 3: Paul Victor has been named by Fonterra as the CFO 1742 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,960 Speaker 3: elect for Mainland Group. You're on News Talk CB. It 1743 01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,519 Speaker 3: is twenty away from seven. We've still got to get 1744 01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:35,360 Speaker 3: to London, Gavin Gray standing. 1745 01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,760 Speaker 2: By encroaching the numbers and getting the results. 1746 01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Bridge with the Business Hour and MAS Insurance 1747 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:43,000 Speaker 1: and Investments. 1748 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,680 Speaker 2: Grew your wealth, Protect your future the Newstalks EDB. 1749 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 3: Seventeen to seven on News Talks EDB. So good text 1750 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,559 Speaker 3: here actually from one of our listeners. The shareholders have 1751 01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:55,720 Speaker 3: not even voted on any of this yet. This is 1752 01:28:55,760 --> 01:29:00,120 Speaker 3: the potential IPO of what they would like to call 1753 01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:04,480 Speaker 3: Mainland Group. This is Fonterra selling off its consumer businesses. 1754 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:06,559 Speaker 3: They'll either do it by a trade sale or they'll 1755 01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:09,000 Speaker 3: either do it by an IPO. This we just had 1756 01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 3: an interview with the Shareholders Association. This listener pointing out 1757 01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 3: the shareholders have not even voted on any of this, 1758 01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,240 Speaker 3: and I doubt whether the shareholders would vote yes to 1759 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:19,920 Speaker 3: an IPO. It's a good point they have not voted 1760 01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 3: on it yet. All that's happened is that Fonterra has 1761 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 3: put out a basically a message to the markets and 1762 01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:29,280 Speaker 3: to the media to say, hey, we're looking at one 1763 01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,040 Speaker 3: of these two options. We're not quite sure which one 1764 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:35,240 Speaker 3: will do yet. Over in the States, and Zelensky has 1765 01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:37,080 Speaker 3: been trying to do this for a very long time, 1766 01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:40,799 Speaker 3: with both with Biden and but now particularly with Trump, 1767 01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:45,679 Speaker 3: get him interested in backing Ukraine and keeping Russia at bay. 1768 01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:49,800 Speaker 3: And Lindsey Graham, who's obviously a Republican over in the 1769 01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:53,720 Speaker 3: United States and a good friend of Trump's, he has 1770 01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,759 Speaker 3: been trying to use a specific tool to get Trump's 1771 01:29:56,760 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 3: attention when it comes to Ukraine, and that tool is money, 1772 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,639 Speaker 3: two things Trump loves very much. So there's a report 1773 01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:07,519 Speaker 3: from Politico in which it and actually Lindsay Graham has 1774 01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,040 Speaker 3: gone on record in the last couple of days to 1775 01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:13,839 Speaker 3: talk about this. Ukraine is sitting on US ten trillion 1776 01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:18,080 Speaker 3: dollars plus of minerals. Now I can tell you what 1777 01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:23,280 Speaker 3: type of minerals. Twenty two of the fifty materials that 1778 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:26,080 Speaker 3: the US has identified as critical. You know how we 1779 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:29,000 Speaker 3: have a critical minerals list, Well, the US has one two. 1780 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,720 Speaker 3: There are fifty materials on it, and twenty two are 1781 01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,559 Speaker 3: sitting under Ukraine right now, worth close to twelve billion 1782 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:40,360 Speaker 3: US dollars. It's a lot of money. We're talking graphite, lithium, titanium, uranium, 1783 01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:46,160 Speaker 3: things I can't pronounce anyway, Lindsey Graham really wants Trump 1784 01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 3: to focus on that when he's thinking about the security 1785 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:49,839 Speaker 3: of Ukraine. 1786 01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:52,760 Speaker 34: Have a listen so you can talk about democracy. And 1787 01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:56,800 Speaker 34: people love talking about democracy here, which is this great 1788 01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:59,120 Speaker 34: to talk about democracy. But where were you in twenty 1789 01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:03,759 Speaker 34: fourteen and they actually needed you. So Trump now sees 1790 01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,560 Speaker 34: Ukraine differently. 1791 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:07,160 Speaker 3: Because of the rarest stuff. 1792 01:31:07,320 --> 01:31:09,200 Speaker 15: Oh I got I said. 1793 01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:11,000 Speaker 28: Playing over. 1794 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:16,200 Speaker 34: These people are sitting on literally a gold mine. 1795 01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:19,920 Speaker 3: So he's just saying, look, you you support them, you 1796 01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:24,240 Speaker 3: back them and secure them, and you can sign a 1797 01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:26,240 Speaker 3: deal and get some of the they want fifty percent 1798 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,840 Speaker 3: of the mineral wealth of Ukraine. And the thing is, 1799 01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:34,080 Speaker 3: it's sort of it makes sense, right if you are 1800 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:36,759 Speaker 3: Russia and you're sitting on the you know, the border 1801 01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,840 Speaker 3: between you, You've decided to draw a line wherever it is 1802 01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:43,880 Speaker 3: which for your ceasefire agreement, and the Americans have a 1803 01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 3: huge financial interest in the land across the border. Then 1804 01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:51,320 Speaker 3: you know, you're kind of walking on eggshells, aren't you. 1805 01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:54,000 Speaker 3: So there was method to the madness. There is logic there. 1806 01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:57,280 Speaker 3: It's just gone fourteen minutes away from seven News talk set. 1807 01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:01,520 Speaker 3: Bryan Vin Grays are UK correspond for more on Ukraine. 1808 01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:05,680 Speaker 3: The EU countries preparing a military aid package the hi 1809 01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:07,960 Speaker 3: Gevin Hi there ran. 1810 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,439 Speaker 27: Yes, those are the unconfirmed reports, not just then in 1811 01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:17,479 Speaker 27: military package, a huge military package roughly eleven billion New 1812 01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:22,640 Speaker 27: Zealand dollars billion, three EU diplomats being quoted saying the 1813 01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,639 Speaker 27: package would mark one of the blocks largest military aid 1814 01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:30,360 Speaker 27: deals since the full scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia. 1815 01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,679 Speaker 27: And it looks like EU ministers are going to meet 1816 01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:36,479 Speaker 27: potentially next week in Brussels, but unclear whether this deal 1817 01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:39,400 Speaker 27: will be approved as a whole or even just backed 1818 01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:42,840 Speaker 27: by a coalition of willing countries. I'm afraid that emergency 1819 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:48,240 Speaker 27: summit that the EU leaders held hastily panics about why 1820 01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:53,839 Speaker 27: they hadn't been involved to that initial Russia US meeting 1821 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:57,679 Speaker 27: in the Middle East, well, I'm afraid it didn't yield 1822 01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:00,600 Speaker 27: very much. But perhaps it did you and something that 1823 01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:02,720 Speaker 27: we didn't find out at the time, which is this 1824 01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:07,360 Speaker 27: gathering too effectively put together this massive military package. But 1825 01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:11,280 Speaker 27: again not confirmed yet, but the divergence of used by 1826 01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,839 Speaker 27: European leaders playing for all to see with Germany's Chancellor 1827 01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,479 Speaker 27: all Our Schultz saying the discussion about troops on the 1828 01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:21,360 Speaker 27: ground was completely premature and saying he was slightly irritated 1829 01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:22,040 Speaker 27: by the whole thing. 1830 01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:25,200 Speaker 3: Oh really, in referring to Starmer's check. 1831 01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,720 Speaker 27: Yeah, and referring to the fact that France as well 1832 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:32,360 Speaker 27: seems to be veering in a more hawkish, bullish line 1833 01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:33,759 Speaker 27: than the rest of the EU. 1834 01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 3: Well, of course all the Schultz has got problems back. 1835 01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:38,960 Speaker 3: They're going to the polls and the days, aren't they. 1836 01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:41,160 Speaker 3: So it's a bit hard to find out, I suppose 1837 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:44,639 Speaker 3: what is exactly what they're thinking in a cohesive way. 1838 01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:45,679 Speaker 3: How's the pope going? 1839 01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:51,040 Speaker 27: Given Yeah, we now learned that the Pope has pneumonia 1840 01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:56,160 Speaker 27: in both lungs, which is really extremely serious. So at 1841 01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:59,360 Speaker 27: the moment we do know that all the events that 1842 01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:01,280 Speaker 27: were planned and all the things that the Pope was 1843 01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:04,320 Speaker 27: due to attend for the end of this week and 1844 01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:08,280 Speaker 27: indeed into the weekend and over the weekend, that has 1845 01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:12,240 Speaker 27: all been canceled. Others have been lined up to take 1846 01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:16,000 Speaker 27: his spot, as it were, and to fulfill those engagements. 1847 01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:19,639 Speaker 27: But yeah, extremely serious for the Pope. The eighty eight 1848 01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:23,640 Speaker 27: yard Pontiff as well known as having problems with his 1849 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,519 Speaker 27: lungs and of poor health. But this is I think 1850 01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 27: the most serious update that we've had since he went 1851 01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:30,679 Speaker 27: to hospital back on Friday. 1852 01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:33,759 Speaker 3: Hopefully he's all right. I'm sure there are many people 1853 01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:36,759 Speaker 3: around the world praying for him. A teeny tiny house 1854 01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,479 Speaker 3: is just a we have them here at teeny tiny 1855 01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:41,840 Speaker 3: homes we call them in Cornwall. How much are they 1856 01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 3: asking for this tiny home? 1857 01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:47,720 Speaker 27: Well, an unbelievable some of money.

It's down in Cornwall, which is down in 1859 01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:53,160 Speaker 27: the extreme southwest of England, and it's a small house. 1860 01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:56,439 Speaker 27: It's even called the Dolls House in porth leaven in Cornwall, 1861 01:34:56,640 --> 01:35:01,080 Speaker 27: and it was really built between two full sized detach houses. 1862 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:04,559 Speaker 27: It's basically in an alleyway and was built on it's 1863 01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:10,360 Speaker 27: one bedroom. It is only ninety centimeters wide in places 1864 01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:14,920 Speaker 27: and have a total square footage area on the first 1865 01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,200 Speaker 27: floor of fourteen point eight square meters that's one hundred 1866 01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:21,360 Speaker 27: and fifty nine square feet ground four slightly bigger one 1867 01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,519 Speaker 27: hundred and eighty square feet sixteen point seven square meters 1868 01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:28,840 Speaker 27: and it's up for sale for about five hundred and 1869 01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:33,360 Speaker 27: fifty thousand new Zealand dollars. It does have the most 1870 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:36,920 Speaker 27: amazing view, but there isn't much room to sit and 1871 01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,439 Speaker 27: admire it. You've got to tilt your seat into one 1872 01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:42,799 Speaker 27: particular position. But despite it coming up for sale, despite 1873 01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:46,080 Speaker 27: a very quirky design and shape, squeezed in this alleyway, 1874 01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:49,200 Speaker 27: as I mentioned, between two other buildings, it has the 1875 01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,400 Speaker 27: most outstanding views of the Lizard Peninsula out over the 1876 01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:57,799 Speaker 27: coast and unspoilt terrain. But yeah, whether you'd be prepared 1877 01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:00,479 Speaker 27: to give it that much money just as somewhere to 1878 01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:03,960 Speaker 27: live or maybe a getaway for the weekend, well, I 1879 01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:05,679 Speaker 27: know it seems an awful lot to. 1880 01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:09,080 Speaker 3: Me, certainly does Gavin for such a tiny, teeny tiny 1881 01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:12,240 Speaker 3: little bit of land as well.

It is ten away from 1883 01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,599 Speaker 3: seven on News Talk ZIBB coming up next. I don't 1884 01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:19,680 Speaker 3: want to bore you with the headline, so maybe I 1885 01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:23,000 Speaker 3: shouldn't say the headline. Just don't say the headline. I'll 1886 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 3: read it for you. The implications of global tariffs for 1887 01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:27,759 Speaker 3: the New Zealand economy. All right, that's from the Reserve 1888 01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,680 Speaker 3: Bank Monetary policy statement from today. I'll get to that 1889 01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:33,760 Speaker 3: next for you, because there's some interesting tidbits in there 1890 01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:36,080 Speaker 3: which I do think you will be interested in. We're 1891 01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:39,240 Speaker 3: also going to get to the song that will get 1892 01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:42,240 Speaker 3: us out this evening answer standing by with that, so 1893 01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:44,640 Speaker 3: perhaps actually to make it a little more light, we 1894 01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:48,160 Speaker 3: could sing the implications of global tariffs for the New 1895 01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,400 Speaker 3: Zealand economy. When we come back News Talk SIBB. 1896 01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Tuplicy Allan Drive Full Show podcast on 1897 01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:57,919 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talk ZEBB. 1898 01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:02,880 Speaker 3: Even on News Talk ZVB. So the Reserve Bank today 1899 01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:05,360 Speaker 3: and its monetary policy statement gave us a little update 1900 01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:09,400 Speaker 3: on the potential impact of tariffs for New Zealand and 1901 01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,360 Speaker 3: for our economy, but also for the world's economy. So 1902 01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:14,200 Speaker 3: this is, if Trump goes ahead with his tariffs, there 1903 01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:17,360 Speaker 3: will be a larger negative impact on economic growth and 1904 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,679 Speaker 3: more inflationary pressure in the country that imposes the tariffs. 1905 01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:23,160 Speaker 3: So that obviously makes sense, right because it's those consumers 1906 01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:26,160 Speaker 3: that end up paying it. Similarly, they say there will 1907 01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:28,479 Speaker 3: be a larger negative impact on economic growth in the 1908 01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:32,320 Speaker 3: tariff targeted country, So basically there will be an effect 1909 01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:35,479 Speaker 3: reduced economic growth in America, but there would also be 1910 01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,839 Speaker 3: reduced economic growth in Mexico or Canada or China for example. 1911 01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:42,040 Speaker 3: And what does that mean when you start talking about 1912 01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,799 Speaker 3: less growth in countries like that, It means global growth 1913 01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:49,680 Speaker 3: is down. It means more inflation in the US. And 1914 01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:51,600 Speaker 3: when there's inflation in the US, it's never good for 1915 01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:55,599 Speaker 3: the global economy. But what does that mean for US? Well, 1916 01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:57,679 Speaker 3: there's two ways that we can be affected by tariffs. 1917 01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:00,240 Speaker 3: One is directly, and at the moment it looks like 1918 01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:02,720 Speaker 3: I mean, we've had some steel and aluminium, but at 1919 01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:04,840 Speaker 3: the moment we're kind of hoping to get off scot free. 1920 01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,320 Speaker 3: Maybe maybe we'll get slapped with a general ten percent. 1921 01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:12,120 Speaker 3: But at China, all those other big players that will 1922 01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:14,679 Speaker 3: affect us, and that's according to the Reserve Bank, where 1923 01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:17,960 Speaker 3: we will be most affected as indirectly. So if China 1924 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:21,040 Speaker 3: gets hit, China gets weak, we sell a lot to China. 1925 01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:23,840 Speaker 3: That is bad for US. News talks B five Away 1926 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:25,639 Speaker 3: from seven and it's what are we going out. 1927 01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:28,559 Speaker 13: To Wildflower by Billy Eilish to play us out tonight? 1928 01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:31,639 Speaker 13: Billy Eilish is touring in Australia at the moment and 1929 01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:33,640 Speaker 13: you know, skipping us, But that's okay. We're over that, 1930 01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:36,720 Speaker 13: and some fans aren't terribly happy at how much the 1931 01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:40,000 Speaker 13: merch is costing. So this is all in Australian dollars, 1932 01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:42,639 Speaker 13: So add maybe like five to twenty dollars to these. 1933 01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:46,760 Speaker 13: But a blue canvas belt fifty bucks, a necklace one 1934 01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:50,439 Speaker 13: hundred and twenty bucks.

But I mean, 1939 01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:01,479 Speaker 13: you know you're gonna go through a few sets. 1940 01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:01,719 Speaker 15: Aren't you. 1941 01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 13: And then the most expensive one though a hoodie. A 1942 01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:07,000 Speaker 13: to a hoodie two hundred and twenty Australian dollars from 1943 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,360 Speaker 13: Billie Eilishes.
