They don't 68 00:02:49,333 --> 00:02:51,813 Speaker 3: take anything lying down. I think they retire at what 69 00:02:51,933 --> 00:02:55,373 Speaker 3: forty five? You know when they did tried to change 70 00:02:55,373 --> 00:02:57,053 Speaker 3: it at sixty two? I did look it up. But 71 00:02:57,093 --> 00:02:59,013 Speaker 3: when they did try to change it, what did they do. 72 00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:00,572 Speaker 3: They got all the rubbish trucks out and started to 73 00:03:00,653 --> 00:03:01,493 Speaker 3: dumping the rubbish. 74 00:03:01,532 --> 00:03:05,093 Speaker 2: They burnt cars exactly well, they are a country of revolution, 75 00:03:05,173 --> 00:03:07,972 Speaker 2: aren't they. Yeah, you know so, so they're always open 76 00:03:08,053 --> 00:03:11,493 Speaker 2: to getting out of the streets. Whip the guillotine out. 77 00:03:11,653 --> 00:03:12,172 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. 78 00:03:12,333 --> 00:03:16,653 Speaker 3: Right on to today's show after three o'clock, The Scourge 79 00:03:16,733 --> 00:03:17,612 Speaker 3: of Selfies. 80 00:03:18,373 --> 00:03:24,012 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. So shocking stats, shocking stats on selfie 81 00:03:24,013 --> 00:03:27,413 Speaker 2: deaths across the world since it became a thing to 82 00:03:27,453 --> 00:03:32,972 Speaker 2: take selfees. Four hundred and eighty fatalities since twenty twenty four. 83 00:03:33,013 --> 00:03:34,933 Speaker 2: And this is the ultimate selfie. When you take a 84 00:03:35,013 --> 00:03:39,013 Speaker 2: really risky selfie, Grand Canyon causes a lot of injuries. 85 00:03:39,053 --> 00:03:41,933 Speaker 2: So that's just fat fatalities. Four hundred and eighty fatalities, 86 00:03:42,293 --> 00:03:47,533 Speaker 2: So many more injuries from taking selfees. And look, that 87 00:03:48,053 --> 00:03:51,172 Speaker 2: is pretty pretty shocked. That's between two thousand and eight 88 00:03:51,293 --> 00:03:55,373 Speaker 2: and twenty twenty one. But I think that the taking 89 00:03:55,413 --> 00:04:00,613 Speaker 2: of selfees is destroying. It may not be killing you, 90 00:04:00,693 --> 00:04:02,653 Speaker 2: but it's destroying little parts of your life. 91 00:04:02,693 --> 00:04:03,493 Speaker 3: It's gone too far. 92 00:04:04,173 --> 00:04:06,453 Speaker 2: I mean. One of the most classic situations you can 93 00:04:06,493 --> 00:04:08,293 Speaker 2: ever see is someone that will go to the louver 94 00:04:08,613 --> 00:04:10,773 Speaker 2: and they'll literally stand in front of the Mona Lisa 95 00:04:10,773 --> 00:04:13,453 Speaker 2: and take a picture of themselves with them in the background. Yeah, 96 00:04:13,693 --> 00:04:16,453 Speaker 2: just look at it. But I just want to talk 97 00:04:16,453 --> 00:04:22,053 Speaker 2: about the idea of stopping taking pictures, not turning social 98 00:04:22,373 --> 00:04:26,453 Speaker 2: occasions into photoshoots. You must, everyone's got someone in their 99 00:04:26,493 --> 00:04:30,413 Speaker 2: life who is so addicted to taking selfies and pictures 100 00:04:30,453 --> 00:04:33,773 Speaker 2: of everything that's going on in their phones that there's 101 00:04:33,813 --> 00:04:36,893 Speaker 2: never any enjoyment of the actual moment you're at it, 102 00:04:36,973 --> 00:04:39,293 Speaker 2: You're out for dinner, and it just turns into a 103 00:04:39,293 --> 00:04:42,453 Speaker 2: photo shoot. You're being positioned around, you're getting stirred up. 104 00:04:42,933 --> 00:04:45,653 Speaker 2: Sit down, you take over the air, move that round 105 00:04:45,733 --> 00:04:47,253 Speaker 2: so it looks great. So we can pretend to every 106 00:04:47,293 --> 00:04:49,013 Speaker 2: on social media that we're having the best time. 107 00:04:48,893 --> 00:04:51,173 Speaker 3: Ever taking the photos of the food. You know, there's 108 00:04:51,213 --> 00:04:55,413 Speaker 3: restaurants dedicated to those selfie shots of the food. It's crazy. 109 00:04:55,493 --> 00:04:57,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, So we want to talk about that. Are we 110 00:04:57,773 --> 00:04:59,893 Speaker 2: taking too many selfies? Are we not living in the 111 00:04:59,933 --> 00:05:02,573 Speaker 2: moment enough? Do you have someone in your life that's 112 00:05:02,733 --> 00:05:07,333 Speaker 2: ruining your good times with their taking their selfies? And also, 113 00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,933 Speaker 2: if you've ever all onto your death taking a photo 114 00:05:09,973 --> 00:05:11,253 Speaker 2: of yourself, would like to hear from you as well. 115 00:05:11,333 --> 00:05:13,733 Speaker 3: Yep, nine two ninety two is the number there after 116 00:05:13,733 --> 00:05:15,653 Speaker 3: two o'clock. What do we actually want out of our 117 00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,413 Speaker 3: Air Force is it's on the back of the decommissioning, 118 00:05:18,453 --> 00:05:23,573 Speaker 3: the retirement of our C one thirty eight Hercules transport aircraft, 119 00:05:23,653 --> 00:05:27,253 Speaker 3: and that's very sad for a lot of aircraft lovers 120 00:05:27,293 --> 00:05:28,053 Speaker 3: out there. 121 00:05:28,573 --> 00:05:33,413 Speaker 2: Very very very cool planes. The Sea one thirty Hercules, 122 00:05:33,973 --> 00:05:37,973 Speaker 2: Oh my god, one hundred thousand takeoffs and landings over there, 123 00:05:38,013 --> 00:05:40,773 Speaker 2: sixty years in the Air Force. They're incredible. They've done 124 00:05:40,813 --> 00:05:43,093 Speaker 2: amazing things around the around the world since that. We 125 00:05:43,213 --> 00:05:46,213 Speaker 2: got them in the sixties, started off doing stuff in Vietnam. 126 00:05:46,853 --> 00:05:49,653 Speaker 2: But we're replacing them with a very cool aircraft as well, 127 00:05:49,693 --> 00:05:52,373 Speaker 2: and in Hercules. I've been on the latest Hercules, the 128 00:05:52,653 --> 00:05:57,293 Speaker 2: replacement Hercules, and they're very cool too. Yeah, they're very 129 00:05:57,293 --> 00:06:02,213 Speaker 2: cool to the C one thirty thirty Hercules, but they're 130 00:06:02,213 --> 00:06:04,533 Speaker 2: not really combat ready. 131 00:06:04,573 --> 00:06:06,693 Speaker 3: They're kind of transport machines, right, I mean, it's in 132 00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:07,893 Speaker 3: the still in the name, isn't it. 133 00:06:07,933 --> 00:06:12,733 Speaker 2: The trans bought reconnaissance safety. They do a lot of stuff. 134 00:06:12,733 --> 00:06:16,093 Speaker 2: They're incredibly versatile plane. And you know, people, you know, 135 00:06:16,413 --> 00:06:18,133 Speaker 2: I think people in New Zealand understand how big the 136 00:06:18,173 --> 00:06:20,573 Speaker 2: Hercules is around the world. I mean there's whole Hercules, 137 00:06:20,653 --> 00:06:22,373 Speaker 2: parts of the American Air Force and a lot of 138 00:06:22,373 --> 00:06:24,813 Speaker 2: our a lot of our pilots will go over there 139 00:06:24,853 --> 00:06:28,733 Speaker 2: and fly in the American Air Force along with the 140 00:06:28,773 --> 00:06:32,013 Speaker 2: American Air Force with the Hercules. So they're very, very 141 00:06:32,173 --> 00:06:36,573 Speaker 2: very useful planes and are still being used all across 142 00:06:36,573 --> 00:06:41,053 Speaker 2: the world, but we have no combat capabilities at all 143 00:06:41,053 --> 00:06:41,453 Speaker 2: in the air. 144 00:06:41,533 --> 00:06:42,773 Speaker 3: You're not going to see them in a scene of 145 00:06:42,773 --> 00:06:45,213 Speaker 3: Apocalypse now with Flight of the Valkyries coming, don't it 146 00:06:45,293 --> 00:06:48,973 Speaker 3: and the Hercules coming in a I mean, the beautiful machines, 147 00:06:49,013 --> 00:06:52,733 Speaker 3: they're just not built for action, really. I mean it 148 00:06:52,213 --> 00:06:55,653 Speaker 3: was it was when we mothed mothboard the Skyhawks, and 149 00:06:55,813 --> 00:06:57,693 Speaker 3: originally we weren't going to mothboard them, right, they just 150 00:06:57,773 --> 00:06:59,653 Speaker 3: got put into storage and figure out what we're going 151 00:06:59,693 --> 00:07:03,213 Speaker 3: to do. But then it became abundantly clear that our 152 00:07:03,293 --> 00:07:08,213 Speaker 3: air force was being hobbled somewhat, that it was not 153 00:07:08,373 --> 00:07:10,093 Speaker 3: going to be the air force that we used to have, 154 00:07:10,253 --> 00:07:12,893 Speaker 3: as in that we had some sort of fighting capability. 155 00:07:13,093 --> 00:07:16,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, even though it was I don't know was it 156 00:07:16,333 --> 00:07:18,093 Speaker 2: a fighting capability for sure? I mean, it was getting 157 00:07:18,093 --> 00:07:22,493 Speaker 2: too expensive obviously to keep them, arguably to keep them. 158 00:07:22,773 --> 00:07:26,133 Speaker 2: But we do need something, don't we. So what should 159 00:07:26,133 --> 00:07:27,413 Speaker 2: we do with their air force? How do you feel? 160 00:07:27,493 --> 00:07:29,813 Speaker 2: How do you feel as a New Zealander in a 161 00:07:29,853 --> 00:07:34,613 Speaker 2: country that has no air defense? Really? Yeah, you know, 162 00:07:34,733 --> 00:07:36,813 Speaker 2: in any kind of real way, do we need to 163 00:07:36,853 --> 00:07:40,213 Speaker 2: just get the drone ranger in and just buy a 164 00:07:40,213 --> 00:07:42,733 Speaker 2: whole lot of drones protect us. That's what we need 165 00:07:42,773 --> 00:07:42,933 Speaker 2: to do. 166 00:07:43,013 --> 00:07:44,853 Speaker 3: That's going to be a hot topic after two o'clock, 167 00:07:44,853 --> 00:07:48,893 Speaker 3: but right now, let's have a chat about online learning days. 168 00:07:48,933 --> 00:07:52,333 Speaker 3: This is on the back of Waitaki Girls School up 169 00:07:52,333 --> 00:07:55,093 Speaker 3: here in Auckland, so as we know, it's a bit 170 00:07:55,093 --> 00:07:57,893 Speaker 3: of a strange week this week with Waitangi Day on tomorrow, 171 00:07:57,933 --> 00:08:01,013 Speaker 3: which is a public holiday for most people. Then you've 172 00:08:01,013 --> 00:08:03,573 Speaker 3: got the Friday, which is a should be a normal 173 00:08:03,613 --> 00:08:06,253 Speaker 3: school day slash workday, and then you've got the weekend. 174 00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:08,933 Speaker 3: But what a lot of schools are doing is some 175 00:08:09,013 --> 00:08:11,333 Speaker 3: of them are having teacher only days and in the 176 00:08:11,333 --> 00:08:15,013 Speaker 3: case of why Tuckety girls are having an online learning day. 177 00:08:15,293 --> 00:08:16,813 Speaker 3: And that's what we want to focus on. 178 00:08:16,853 --> 00:08:17,053 Speaker 4: Man. 179 00:08:17,293 --> 00:08:20,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there is any any such thing 180 00:08:20,093 --> 00:08:22,213 Speaker 2: as an online working day, that is an online doing 181 00:08:22,213 --> 00:08:25,973 Speaker 2: nothing day, as I don't think zoom calls are a 182 00:08:26,013 --> 00:08:29,493 Speaker 2: functional way to have a meeting or to teach kids, 183 00:08:29,613 --> 00:08:31,293 Speaker 2: and I don't think it's a good way to learn. 184 00:08:31,333 --> 00:08:33,733 Speaker 2: I think we should agree to never ever return to 185 00:08:33,773 --> 00:08:36,693 Speaker 2: online learning no matter what happens. School is about socialization. 186 00:08:37,293 --> 00:08:39,293 Speaker 2: It's not just learning. It's about learning to how you 187 00:08:39,333 --> 00:08:43,573 Speaker 2: live and deal with other people. So, I mean, whatever 188 00:08:43,612 --> 00:08:47,093 Speaker 2: reason with Late Girls High School is doing this, that's 189 00:08:47,173 --> 00:08:49,093 Speaker 2: up to the end. But let's just be honest. That's 190 00:08:49,093 --> 00:08:51,813 Speaker 2: not an online learning down Friday. That's a nothing day, 191 00:08:52,173 --> 00:08:55,053 Speaker 2: that is adding nothing to the education of those people. 192 00:08:55,213 --> 00:08:57,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's almost just a bit of a 193 00:08:57,732 --> 00:09:00,773 Speaker 3: hangover from when we know there were good reasons why 194 00:09:00,852 --> 00:09:03,612 Speaker 3: we needed online learning. If it was lockdown or kids 195 00:09:03,732 --> 00:09:06,813 Speaker 3: physically couldn't go to school, we get it. That was 196 00:09:06,973 --> 00:09:09,652 Speaker 3: you know, the ends just of the mean situation then. 197 00:09:09,732 --> 00:09:12,453 Speaker 3: But now that we're out of that, I agree online 198 00:09:12,533 --> 00:09:14,213 Speaker 3: learning there's not a hell of a lot of learning 199 00:09:14,533 --> 00:09:16,053 Speaker 3: going on when you're online. 200 00:09:16,093 --> 00:09:18,132 Speaker 2: And one hundred and eighteen eighty, let's extend this out 201 00:09:18,173 --> 00:09:22,333 Speaker 2: to just zoom call video call meetings in general. Nothing 202 00:09:22,372 --> 00:09:24,892 Speaker 2: good's happening on. Those people are just staring at themselves. 203 00:09:24,973 --> 00:09:26,533 Speaker 2: I know what, I'm on a zoom call and look, 204 00:09:26,533 --> 00:09:30,973 Speaker 2: maybe I'm a narcissist potentially, But when I'm on a 205 00:09:31,012 --> 00:09:34,372 Speaker 2: zoom call, I'm just staring at my own, my own image, going, well, 206 00:09:34,372 --> 00:09:36,293 Speaker 2: that's weird how I react to things? Do I really 207 00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:37,293 Speaker 2: hold my face like that? 208 00:09:37,612 --> 00:09:39,693 Speaker 3: I think, if we've been honest, most people do that. 209 00:09:39,892 --> 00:09:42,413 Speaker 3: I don't think I'm that narcissistic, But it's more like 210 00:09:42,533 --> 00:09:45,653 Speaker 3: I'm self conscious. So am I looking like I'm interested 211 00:09:45,813 --> 00:09:47,693 Speaker 3: enough in what has been said? So then I'll look 212 00:09:47,693 --> 00:09:49,693 Speaker 3: at my face and say, am I smiling enough? Have 213 00:09:49,813 --> 00:09:51,413 Speaker 3: I got a bothered face going on? 214 00:09:51,533 --> 00:09:55,893 Speaker 2: Plus? This so boring that there is that any gain 215 00:09:56,453 --> 00:09:59,573 Speaker 2: is lost motive in anything that you gain and getting 216 00:09:59,612 --> 00:10:02,093 Speaker 2: some information is lost in your motivation to activate that. 217 00:10:02,732 --> 00:10:05,852 Speaker 2: So is it time to just admit that online and 218 00:10:05,933 --> 00:10:10,293 Speaker 2: video calling and video learning is such a low version 219 00:10:10,293 --> 00:10:13,453 Speaker 2: of the real thing, almost to been negligible. 220 00:10:13,612 --> 00:10:16,612 Speaker 3: Oh eight one hundred eighty ten eighty is. And I'm 221 00:10:16,612 --> 00:10:18,693 Speaker 3: going to call some great texts coming through on nine 222 00:10:18,732 --> 00:10:21,252 Speaker 3: to nine two. Let's get into it.

They'd be very good afternoon to you. We're 231 00:10:41,053 --> 00:10:45,252 Speaker 3: talking about some schools in New Zealand using Friday as 232 00:10:45,293 --> 00:10:48,093 Speaker 3: a teacher only day, or in some cases an online 233 00:10:48,173 --> 00:10:48,813 Speaker 3: learning day. 234 00:10:48,933 --> 00:10:51,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, and here's some pushback on that one. A joke, 235 00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:53,653 Speaker 2: says this textra on nine two nine two. Schools just 236 00:10:53,693 --> 00:10:56,292 Speaker 2: had six weeks off.

I will What does that teach 239 00:11:01,093 --> 00:11:04,173 Speaker 2: high school students? Just because those that can go to 240 00:11:04,213 --> 00:11:06,612 Speaker 2: the beach house, No one goes to school. And I 241 00:11:06,612 --> 00:11:09,053 Speaker 2: agree online learning was a joke during COVID for my 242 00:11:09,173 --> 00:11:12,133 Speaker 2: now ten year old grandson effectively missed years of education. 243 00:11:12,453 --> 00:11:15,253 Speaker 2: Teachers need to massively step up, according to that text 244 00:11:16,053 --> 00:11:18,213 Speaker 2: and another textra on nine two nine two. You guys 245 00:11:18,213 --> 00:11:20,573 Speaker 2: are winding me up with online and online learning. When 246 00:11:20,573 --> 00:11:22,493 Speaker 2: are you going to come into the twenty first century? 247 00:11:22,492 --> 00:11:24,612 Speaker 2: The whole world works online or a mix of online 248 00:11:24,653 --> 00:11:27,253 Speaker 2: and blended, that is, face to face, come into the 249 00:11:27,252 --> 00:11:30,973 Speaker 2: real world conversation. Yeah, I'm just saying I'm quite capable 250 00:11:30,973 --> 00:11:32,613 Speaker 2: of it. I've spent a lot of time and you know, 251 00:11:32,653 --> 00:11:34,373 Speaker 2: I do a bit of work with people out of 252 00:11:34,372 --> 00:11:37,053 Speaker 2: the States, so we have to zoom call across across 253 00:11:37,132 --> 00:11:39,893 Speaker 2: the waves. But I'm just saying it's a very very 254 00:11:40,093 --> 00:11:43,413 Speaker 2: lame version of a meeting, and very little gets done 255 00:11:43,413 --> 00:11:44,093 Speaker 2: on a zoom call. 256 00:11:44,293 --> 00:11:47,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a cold way to do business if you're 257 00:11:47,372 --> 00:11:50,493 Speaker 3: in the working environment, it is. There's there's it's a 258 00:11:50,573 --> 00:11:52,573 Speaker 3: fakeness about it, you know what I mean. And there's 259 00:11:52,612 --> 00:11:54,573 Speaker 3: a lot of stuff that you just can't get around it. 260 00:11:54,573 --> 00:11:57,132 Speaker 3: You've got to have that face to face interaction, those 261 00:11:57,293 --> 00:12:00,133 Speaker 3: little bits of body language that are natural conversation you 262 00:12:00,333 --> 00:12:01,893 Speaker 3: just don't get in a zoom It's also. 263 00:12:02,093 --> 00:12:05,533 Speaker 2: Boring and lame, and you don't create prop relationships with 264 00:12:05,573 --> 00:12:12,292 Speaker 2: your with your workmates, you know. So, And I was 265 00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:14,333 Speaker 2: saying in terms, but to move it back to school, 266 00:12:14,933 --> 00:12:18,013 Speaker 2: the socialization argument is a fallacy and holds no water 267 00:12:18,012 --> 00:12:21,012 Speaker 2: at all, saysys text, without giving an examples. Schools, as 268 00:12:21,053 --> 00:12:23,573 Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned, are as much about learning how 269 00:12:23,612 --> 00:12:26,333 Speaker 2: to deal with other people as they are about learning 270 00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:29,773 Speaker 2: and how you're going to operate in the real world. 271 00:12:30,012 --> 00:12:31,932 Speaker 2: So sitting at home online. And I know this is 272 00:12:32,012 --> 00:12:34,853 Speaker 2: just for one day with west Lake, but I'm just 273 00:12:34,852 --> 00:12:39,093 Speaker 2: saying it highlights to me that it's just a bad 274 00:12:39,132 --> 00:12:40,492 Speaker 2: way to learn online. 275 00:12:40,612 --> 00:12:43,853 Speaker 3: One parent of a student at Westlake Girls told The 276 00:12:43,933 --> 00:12:48,173 Speaker 3: Herald that they and other parents were incredibly annoyed at 277 00:12:48,173 --> 00:12:50,933 Speaker 3: the timing of online learning so soon after the start 278 00:12:50,933 --> 00:12:53,132 Speaker 3: of the school year in a matter wider effort to 279 00:12:53,132 --> 00:12:56,693 Speaker 3: get the kids back to the classroom learning. They said 280 00:12:57,093 --> 00:12:59,053 Speaker 3: they remained anonymous, but they said, they have only just 281 00:12:59,093 --> 00:13:00,573 Speaker 3: gone back to school. We are trying to get them 282 00:13:00,573 --> 00:13:03,333 Speaker 3: settled into some sort of routine. They've had a massive, 283 00:13:03,413 --> 00:13:07,013 Speaker 3: long summer break, and now we have an online learning 284 00:13:07,093 --> 00:13:10,292 Speaker 3: day for parents out there. Effectively, if it's an online 285 00:13:10,372 --> 00:13:13,573 Speaker 3: learning day and you genuinely want your kids sitting at 286 00:13:13,573 --> 00:13:15,852 Speaker 3: the computer doing what they've been told to do online, 287 00:13:16,173 --> 00:13:18,493 Speaker 3: then that makes you the teacher for that day, right, 288 00:13:18,973 --> 00:13:21,693 Speaker 3: So that's kind of stuffed up the parents' day that 289 00:13:21,773 --> 00:13:24,573 Speaker 3: now you have to monitor your child to try and 290 00:13:24,653 --> 00:13:26,372 Speaker 3: make sure that they're going to do all the work 291 00:13:26,372 --> 00:13:30,333 Speaker 3: that has been scheduled for them. 292 00:13:30,533 --> 00:13:35,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they have to fill uporn anyway. Basically, yeah, 293 00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:39,053 Speaker 2: mind you, mind you school. You know, it's high school 294 00:13:39,093 --> 00:13:40,333 Speaker 2: so they can be at home by themselves. 295 00:13:40,413 --> 00:13:44,093 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah that's true. Yeah, great text to you get. Guys. 296 00:13:44,173 --> 00:13:47,653 Speaker 3: Love this discussion. I am in university and you'd be 297 00:13:47,773 --> 00:13:50,852 Speaker 3: shocked at how much online learning we're expected to do 298 00:13:51,053 --> 00:13:54,333 Speaker 3: in university. We no longer need to turn up to campus, 299 00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:57,053 Speaker 3: and if we do, our lecturers are often not there. 300 00:13:57,132 --> 00:14:00,093 Speaker 3: We pay a lot of money to go to university, 301 00:14:00,413 --> 00:14:03,133 Speaker 3: and it blows my mind that most of our learning 302 00:14:03,213 --> 00:14:06,453 Speaker 3: is now done online. Love the show. 303 00:14:06,773 --> 00:14:09,973 Speaker 2: Yeah. I have loads of tea teams meetings. Find most 304 00:14:10,012 --> 00:14:12,653 Speaker 2: of them fine teams. Don't get me started on teams. 305 00:14:12,732 --> 00:14:15,053 Speaker 2: I also work from home, which suits me, but not 306 00:14:15,132 --> 00:14:17,653 Speaker 2: for everyone. A non productive meeting has nothing to do 307 00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:20,533 Speaker 2: with technology. I think there's a good point there that 308 00:14:21,173 --> 00:14:24,493 Speaker 2: you can have plenty We're plenty of cap We're plenty 309 00:14:24,493 --> 00:14:28,613 Speaker 2: capable of having unproductive face to face meetings, plenty capable 310 00:14:28,613 --> 00:14:32,693 Speaker 2: of doing that as well as unproductive zoom meetings. But people, 311 00:14:32,773 --> 00:14:36,133 Speaker 2: I don't know. It'd be interesting to see people. People 312 00:14:36,173 --> 00:14:38,052 Speaker 2: seem to be disagreeing with me. People seem to think 313 00:14:38,093 --> 00:14:41,493 Speaker 2: that zoom and online meetings are fantastic. 314 00:14:42,493 --> 00:14:45,733 Speaker 3: Well, look, if you are still in a business that 315 00:14:45,933 --> 00:14:47,733 Speaker 3: holds a lot of Zoom meetings. We'd love to hear 316 00:14:47,773 --> 00:14:50,173 Speaker 3: from you on oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty like 317 00:14:50,213 --> 00:14:54,333 Speaker 3: this Texter, Gooday, guys love the show. We do a 318 00:14:54,413 --> 00:14:57,813 Speaker 3: lot of zoom meetings as I work for a business 319 00:14:58,253 --> 00:15:02,893 Speaker 3: with employees in various parts of the country. I absolutely 320 00:15:02,933 --> 00:15:07,213 Speaker 3: adore it because we get a lot done within that 321 00:15:07,333 --> 00:15:11,413 Speaker 3: ten minutes, and I can leave the meeting whenever I 322 00:15:11,453 --> 00:15:13,333 Speaker 3: want if I think I've got the information I need. 323 00:15:13,373 --> 00:15:15,333 Speaker 3: That's a lot harder than your face to face. 324 00:15:15,453 --> 00:15:18,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well, you'll find that a lot of people 325 00:15:18,053 --> 00:15:20,013 Speaker 2: on zoom calls have turned off the camera and they're 326 00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:21,853 Speaker 2: just walking around with the ear button and doing other 327 00:15:21,893 --> 00:15:26,133 Speaker 2: things ironing, cleaning, eating, whatever. This text of Matt you 328 00:15:26,133 --> 00:15:28,493 Speaker 2: are very naive and what experience do you have on 329 00:15:28,613 --> 00:15:31,133 Speaker 2: home based teaching to make the claim that you do well? 330 00:15:31,213 --> 00:15:33,693 Speaker 2: Quite a lot actually, because I had sons that had tutors, 331 00:15:33,693 --> 00:15:35,893 Speaker 2: I had sons through COVID that were going through school, 332 00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:38,213 Speaker 2: and I thought that that was just a terrible way 333 00:15:38,213 --> 00:15:40,333 Speaker 2: for people of school, and I think that did heap 334 00:15:40,493 --> 00:15:44,333 Speaker 2: a whole lot of damage to kids' education. That learning 335 00:15:44,333 --> 00:15:47,333 Speaker 2: from home absolutely terrible. I thought it was. But also 336 00:15:47,413 --> 00:15:50,292 Speaker 2: I've noticed the difference when my kids had tutors that 337 00:15:50,653 --> 00:15:52,573 Speaker 2: when they went in to see the tutor face to face, 338 00:15:52,613 --> 00:15:55,573 Speaker 2: it was a far better learning experience for them than 339 00:15:55,773 --> 00:15:58,813 Speaker 2: dealing with the tutor on the zoom call. And that's 340 00:15:58,813 --> 00:16:00,853 Speaker 2: what they said as well, that's from their experience. So 341 00:16:00,933 --> 00:16:03,573 Speaker 2: that's the experience I've had. Okay, so I'm not very 342 00:16:03,693 --> 00:16:06,973 Speaker 2: naive al right then text to eating ending in one 343 00:16:06,973 --> 00:16:11,172 Speaker 2: to five?

If you're 346 00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:19,292 Speaker 3: a parent listening right now and you originally thought that 347 00:16:19,333 --> 00:16:22,213 Speaker 3: online learning was a load of crap and you've changed 348 00:16:22,213 --> 00:16:24,573 Speaker 3: your mind, love to hear from you. Generinally, what goes 349 00:16:24,613 --> 00:16:26,813 Speaker 3: on to make sure that your children are how accountable? 350 00:16:27,053 --> 00:16:30,053 Speaker 3: Is that better than just a teacher only day. There's 351 00:16:30,053 --> 00:16:32,893 Speaker 3: a lot of people who are saying that online learning 352 00:16:32,893 --> 00:16:34,933 Speaker 3: has come leaps and bounds in the last. 353 00:16:34,773 --> 00:16:35,373 Speaker 2: Couple of years. 354 00:16:35,573 --> 00:16:37,693 Speaker 3: Got to say, when I was at high school, if 355 00:16:37,733 --> 00:16:39,893 Speaker 3: I came home and said, Hey, I'm going to have 356 00:16:39,933 --> 00:16:43,053 Speaker 3: an online learning day, parents would have a laugh and say, absolutely, 357 00:16:43,053 --> 00:16:45,293 Speaker 3: you're not doing that. You were going back to school 358 00:16:45,733 --> 00:16:47,733 Speaker 3: and there's going to be no learning done if you've 359 00:16:47,773 --> 00:16:49,653 Speaker 3: got to do that over the internet. But clearly things 360 00:16:49,653 --> 00:16:51,733 Speaker 3: have changed, so love to hear from you. Nine two 361 00:16:51,853 --> 00:16:54,893 Speaker 3: ninety two is the text number.

They will still 371 00:17:18,813 --> 00:17:20,733 Speaker 8: carry debt, but of course we have to fund all 372 00:17:20,773 --> 00:17:22,933 Speaker 8: of that debt as tax pay I mean KO should 373 00:17:22,973 --> 00:17:26,893 Speaker 8: not be building massively expensive ornate departments with Juliete balconies 374 00:17:26,933 --> 00:17:27,853 Speaker 8: and all sorts of baldims. 375 00:17:28,093 --> 00:17:29,493 Speaker 5: Whereould the lords? 376 00:17:29,533 --> 00:17:31,173 Speaker 7: Where were the board that you've got rid of?

Were they under riding instructions or were they incompetent? 378 00:17:34,773 --> 00:17:35,733 Speaker 2: I mean all I can say is. 379 00:17:35,773 --> 00:17:36,533 Speaker 9: We change the board. 380 00:17:36,613 --> 00:17:39,293 Speaker 8: That was one of the first recommendations for the independent review. 381 00:17:39,413 --> 00:17:42,173 Speaker 7: Back tomorrow at six am, the Mike asking breakfast with 382 00:17:42,253 --> 00:17:44,693 Speaker 7: Mayley's real Estate Newstalk ZB. 383 00:17:44,933 --> 00:17:47,653 Speaker 3: Is it time to kack online learning? To touch on 384 00:17:47,733 --> 00:17:50,013 Speaker 3: the back of some schools with a New Zealand using 385 00:17:50,053 --> 00:17:52,013 Speaker 3: the Friday as an online learning day. 386 00:17:52,253 --> 00:17:56,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not specifically hassling Weskate west Lake Girls High School. 387 00:17:56,773 --> 00:17:59,773 Speaker 2: I'm just questioning the value of online learning in general. 388 00:18:00,373 --> 00:18:04,413 Speaker 2: That they're doing it on this Friday because they want 389 00:18:04,453 --> 00:18:07,733 Speaker 2: to test it out and test their systems for future emergencies. 390 00:18:08,373 --> 00:18:11,052 Speaker 2: Think any future emergency would should ever warrant learning from 391 00:18:11,093 --> 00:18:13,293 Speaker 2: home again, But I'm just questioning the value of it 392 00:18:13,333 --> 00:18:13,532 Speaker 2: at all. 393 00:18:13,613 --> 00:18:15,853 Speaker 3: That'd be better than meetings. They'd be better to take 394 00:18:15,973 --> 00:18:18,133 Speaker 3: their teacher only days. What you're saying, you may as 395 00:18:18,133 --> 00:18:18,773 Speaker 3: well be honest with it. 396 00:18:18,893 --> 00:18:22,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, this person texted before. Was that text saying essentially 397 00:18:22,213 --> 00:18:24,213 Speaker 2: that they are online meeting right now. I'm mute and 398 00:18:24,253 --> 00:18:26,693 Speaker 2: listening to this and texting us, So that's what's happening 399 00:18:26,693 --> 00:18:27,653 Speaker 2: on that online meeting. 400 00:18:27,813 --> 00:18:29,973 Speaker 3: Yep, well done that person. I'm going to say, Hayden, 401 00:18:30,013 --> 00:18:30,653 Speaker 3: how are you mate? 402 00:18:31,573 --> 00:18:31,733 Speaker 10: Yeah? 403 00:18:32,013 --> 00:18:33,693 Speaker 11: I hate as well as I actually agree. Yes, the 404 00:18:33,733 --> 00:18:36,453 Speaker 11: online learning is a waste of time. We're in a 405 00:18:36,653 --> 00:18:39,173 Speaker 11: situation where we have a child who's been forced to 406 00:18:39,213 --> 00:18:43,133 Speaker 11: go to correspond to school, and it's basically all online learning. 407 00:18:43,973 --> 00:18:46,373 Speaker 11: The big biggest problems they do not get to see 408 00:18:46,773 --> 00:18:50,013 Speaker 11: facial expressions. They are not good to see body, how 409 00:18:50,093 --> 00:18:52,813 Speaker 11: people react to things, or how they're active. Then, so 410 00:18:52,893 --> 00:18:57,493 Speaker 11: they miss out that whole dynamic of understanding people and emotions. 411 00:18:58,173 --> 00:19:02,893 Speaker 11: So the whole learning is pretty much based on the 412 00:19:02,973 --> 00:19:05,453 Speaker 11: parent have to do it, push it, rather than the kid. 413 00:19:07,133 --> 00:19:10,653 Speaker 2: Yeah that's why. Yeah, I mean that's my question. What 414 00:19:10,773 --> 00:19:14,613 Speaker 2: percentage do you think of school at high school? It 415 00:19:14,693 --> 00:19:16,493 Speaker 2: might change a little bit, but I think in terms 416 00:19:16,493 --> 00:19:19,973 Speaker 2: of primary and intermediate, I think a huge percentage of 417 00:19:20,053 --> 00:19:22,653 Speaker 2: it is learning to interact with other kids and other 418 00:19:22,733 --> 00:19:26,373 Speaker 2: adults as much as the actual learning part of it. 419 00:19:27,693 --> 00:19:27,973 Speaker 10: Totally. 420 00:19:28,093 --> 00:19:30,653 Speaker 11: I mean, the whole communication process is free fold is 421 00:19:30,693 --> 00:19:33,133 Speaker 11: you're probably aware, you know you've got the input, the process, 422 00:19:33,133 --> 00:19:37,173 Speaker 11: your output. You can't do process that you do not 423 00:19:37,373 --> 00:19:40,853 Speaker 11: have interact with people you know, you can't tell by 424 00:19:40,893 --> 00:19:44,253 Speaker 11: the tone reactions, you know, So they miss out in 425 00:19:44,413 --> 00:19:50,493 Speaker 11: all that learning of situation stuff because that's a key 426 00:19:50,573 --> 00:19:52,693 Speaker 11: part of special primary school. So I agreed with there, 427 00:19:52,933 --> 00:19:56,213 Speaker 11: but high school, so I've got a few kids. I've 428 00:19:56,253 --> 00:19:59,453 Speaker 11: had some go through normal high school and just before 429 00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:03,933 Speaker 11: going through correspondence, and it's seeing at a lower level 430 00:20:04,013 --> 00:20:05,213 Speaker 11: of education because of it. 431 00:20:06,173 --> 00:20:10,293 Speaker 3: M Yeah. I mean, look, I get that technology has 432 00:20:10,333 --> 00:20:12,773 Speaker 3: got a place in modern society, and if it can 433 00:20:12,813 --> 00:20:15,773 Speaker 3: be tapped into an advantage of in this case children, 434 00:20:16,013 --> 00:20:17,813 Speaker 3: I'm all for it. But I tend to agree with 435 00:20:17,893 --> 00:20:19,653 Speaker 3: what you're saying their hate and I think it goes 436 00:20:19,773 --> 00:20:23,853 Speaker 3: too far in the direction of utilizing technology to effectively 437 00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:28,973 Speaker 3: teach kids, where missing that human interaction is a massive 438 00:20:29,053 --> 00:20:31,173 Speaker 3: mistake and we're going to see the ramifications of that, 439 00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:34,693 Speaker 3: I think down the track. There's already been studies done 440 00:20:34,773 --> 00:20:38,773 Speaker 3: on the implications of what happened during COVID to children's 441 00:20:38,813 --> 00:20:41,373 Speaker 3: brains and development, and I think that's going to be 442 00:20:41,453 --> 00:20:44,253 Speaker 3: We're in for a rude awakening in about ten years time. 443 00:20:45,333 --> 00:20:48,773 Speaker 11: Well Oldest University now and it's interesting to hear who 444 00:20:48,853 --> 00:20:51,613 Speaker 11: feed that on what the students think of online learning, 445 00:20:52,173 --> 00:20:56,813 Speaker 11: and they're telling us that they've missed out on lots 446 00:20:57,453 --> 00:21:00,773 Speaker 11: because they've missed out on the learning, they didn't learn 447 00:21:00,813 --> 00:21:02,693 Speaker 11: at a high enough level. So a lot of them 448 00:21:02,773 --> 00:21:06,173 Speaker 11: struggled in the transition from high school to university. 449 00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:10,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think because I've got a son 450 00:21:10,453 --> 00:21:12,933 Speaker 2: that's going to university in this year, and I was 451 00:21:12,973 --> 00:21:15,213 Speaker 2: telling him that the most important part of university is 452 00:21:15,253 --> 00:21:17,853 Speaker 2: to go to the tutorials and so you make connections 453 00:21:17,893 --> 00:21:19,413 Speaker 2: with people and you might meet someone that you can 454 00:21:19,453 --> 00:21:22,853 Speaker 2: study with, you can go back and forth in real time. 455 00:21:23,093 --> 00:21:27,613 Speaker 2: They're actually meeting people going somewhere. The camaraderie of it 456 00:21:28,213 --> 00:21:30,733 Speaker 2: that I mean because as opposed to just sitting in 457 00:21:30,773 --> 00:21:33,093 Speaker 2: the back of a lecture watching Oh God for Bud, 458 00:21:33,173 --> 00:21:35,253 Speaker 2: sitting at home and who wants to pay?

Clearly it had a place 502 00:23:46,573 --> 00:23:48,613 Speaker 3: for a lot of schools during COVID when we're locked 503 00:23:48,653 --> 00:23:52,133 Speaker 3: down and kids couldn't physically go to school. Some schools, 504 00:23:52,213 --> 00:23:56,613 Speaker 3: when it comes to this Friday, are utilizing online learning again. Matt, 505 00:23:56,653 --> 00:23:58,053 Speaker 3: you made the point that you think it should be 506 00:23:58,093 --> 00:23:59,293 Speaker 3: absolutely kicked to touch. 507 00:23:59,533 --> 00:24:02,093 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not saying that because there would be practicalities 508 00:24:02,133 --> 00:24:05,053 Speaker 2: where you have to do it right. And there are times, 509 00:24:05,173 --> 00:24:06,493 Speaker 2: you know, as I was saying before, I do a 510 00:24:06,573 --> 00:24:09,093 Speaker 2: bit of business with the States and so I have 511 00:24:09,173 --> 00:24:11,613 Speaker 2: to zoom call with them you know, and for my book, 512 00:24:11,653 --> 00:24:14,133 Speaker 2: I did all the interviews with you know, professors and 513 00:24:14,133 --> 00:24:16,133 Speaker 2: stuff around the world on zoom call, so there's times 514 00:24:16,173 --> 00:24:18,493 Speaker 2: you do it. I'm just saying it's a very lame 515 00:24:18,693 --> 00:24:22,293 Speaker 2: version of the actual thing, and I think I don't 516 00:24:22,293 --> 00:24:24,613 Speaker 2: think it's a great way to teach kids. I think 517 00:24:24,813 --> 00:24:28,533 Speaker 2: we need to just acknowledge that it's a rubbish way 518 00:24:28,693 --> 00:24:31,213 Speaker 2: and so things have to be pretty freaking bad before 519 00:24:31,253 --> 00:24:31,653 Speaker 2: you go to that. 520 00:24:31,853 --> 00:24:34,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, nicely said under eighty ten eighty is the number 521 00:24:34,813 --> 00:24:37,293 Speaker 3: of call, Michael, how are you this afternoon? 522 00:24:38,613 --> 00:24:38,813 Speaker 10: Good? 523 00:24:38,893 --> 00:24:39,413 Speaker 5: Thanks jan. 524 00:24:39,853 --> 00:24:43,813 Speaker 13: I have previously beaten board chair for an organization called 525 00:24:43,973 --> 00:24:51,013 Speaker 13: NAT and SAD and that organization provides online learning across 526 00:24:51,453 --> 00:24:57,973 Speaker 13: New Zealand for NTA students who can't get their subjects 527 00:24:58,013 --> 00:25:01,173 Speaker 13: that they need. So I might have a student in 528 00:25:02,213 --> 00:25:06,173 Speaker 13: Recton who wants to do chemistry. There's no chemistry teacher, 529 00:25:06,733 --> 00:25:11,653 Speaker 13: so we offer course which wouldn't be able to be 530 00:25:11,733 --> 00:25:14,853 Speaker 13: done and those students wouldn't be able to follow their 531 00:25:14,893 --> 00:25:18,653 Speaker 13: career and get to university. And Matt, I have to 532 00:25:19,013 --> 00:25:21,613 Speaker 13: disagree with you, or at least agree when you say 533 00:25:22,093 --> 00:25:25,773 Speaker 13: that online learning is not for you. That's cool, but 534 00:25:25,893 --> 00:25:29,373 Speaker 13: there are plenty of students that have very specific needs 535 00:25:29,653 --> 00:25:32,373 Speaker 13: that online learning is the only option they've got. So 536 00:25:32,493 --> 00:25:37,373 Speaker 13: they may be someone who has no immune systems so 537 00:25:37,613 --> 00:25:41,773 Speaker 13: can't mix with other kids and so getting you know, 538 00:25:41,893 --> 00:25:45,493 Speaker 13: being able to get the learning that they need. They're 539 00:25:45,653 --> 00:25:49,213 Speaker 13: obviously wanting to be at home, as they say, they're 540 00:25:49,213 --> 00:25:51,973 Speaker 13: subject seifing stuff. And in fact, one of the things 541 00:25:52,173 --> 00:25:57,413 Speaker 13: in our schools that we don't take any enough opportunity, 542 00:25:57,613 --> 00:26:01,093 Speaker 13: and you've just talked about it, was where you interviewed 543 00:26:02,133 --> 00:26:05,893 Speaker 13: you're the people for your book news in Zoom. We 544 00:26:06,013 --> 00:26:08,333 Speaker 13: should have kids talking to people all around the world 545 00:26:10,773 --> 00:26:14,533 Speaker 13: online and opening up the classroom to the world. 546 00:26:16,173 --> 00:26:18,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there was an amazing opportunity for me 547 00:26:18,413 --> 00:26:20,293 Speaker 2: to do that without having to fly to one hundre 548 00:26:20,333 --> 00:26:21,773 Speaker 2: different places. I never would be able to do it. 549 00:26:21,853 --> 00:26:25,613 Speaker 2: So I totally agree that when there's no other way 550 00:26:25,733 --> 00:26:27,853 Speaker 2: in what you're talking about with in z seems like 551 00:26:27,973 --> 00:26:30,413 Speaker 2: a fantastic opportunity. If someone lives in a town, then 552 00:26:30,453 --> 00:26:33,053 Speaker 2: they can't. That's a difference between not being able to 553 00:26:33,133 --> 00:26:35,893 Speaker 2: do the subject or doing the subject. And maybe I've 554 00:26:35,893 --> 00:26:38,733 Speaker 2: been talking in a sort of hyperbolic fashion, but I 555 00:26:38,973 --> 00:26:42,453 Speaker 2: just believe in my experiencing my kids learning online and 556 00:26:42,573 --> 00:26:44,493 Speaker 2: other kids learning on a line that the face to 557 00:26:44,613 --> 00:26:49,773 Speaker 2: face is just so much better if it's a possibility. 558 00:26:49,933 --> 00:26:51,493 Speaker 2: Would you agree with that or do you think that 559 00:26:51,693 --> 00:26:53,413 Speaker 2: it's it's even between the two things. 560 00:26:54,533 --> 00:26:54,853 Speaker 11: It's not. 561 00:26:55,133 --> 00:26:57,853 Speaker 13: It's it's about sick and what's best for the students. 562 00:26:58,253 --> 00:27:02,813 Speaker 13: I know have one young lady who high school has 563 00:27:02,893 --> 00:27:07,613 Speaker 13: all sorts of aunty issues and has decided not to 564 00:27:07,773 --> 00:27:11,733 Speaker 13: learn in classrooms. So you talked about the social hards 565 00:27:11,733 --> 00:27:14,893 Speaker 13: of learning, which are important for some students, but there's 566 00:27:14,933 --> 00:27:19,053 Speaker 13: a whole group of students for whom learning and that's 567 00:27:19,093 --> 00:27:23,173 Speaker 13: the thing. So many kids the year year eleven, when 568 00:27:23,213 --> 00:27:25,613 Speaker 13: they hit sixteen, as soon as they can leave, and 569 00:27:25,733 --> 00:27:28,653 Speaker 13: we haven't tried any other ways other than in the 570 00:27:28,733 --> 00:27:32,093 Speaker 13: classroom with a whole lot of other kids. So it 571 00:27:32,173 --> 00:27:34,813 Speaker 13: doesn't work for every student, and we won't try enough 572 00:27:35,333 --> 00:27:38,773 Speaker 13: to put all the different ways of learning in front 573 00:27:38,813 --> 00:27:41,973 Speaker 13: of those those children. I know people are going to 574 00:27:42,013 --> 00:27:44,453 Speaker 13: bring up and say in my day, but we didn't 575 00:27:44,533 --> 00:27:48,333 Speaker 13: have the internet in those days. Now we do, so 576 00:27:48,453 --> 00:27:50,133 Speaker 13: we need to deploy it as best we can. 577 00:27:50,773 --> 00:27:53,053 Speaker 2: Now, Michael, when you say about the anxiety thing, and 578 00:27:53,093 --> 00:27:55,573 Speaker 2: look I don't know the specific cases you're talking about, 579 00:27:55,813 --> 00:27:59,613 Speaker 2: but in my experience, the more you hide from something 580 00:28:00,333 --> 00:28:03,253 Speaker 2: if you're anxious, and the more you you know, you 581 00:28:03,973 --> 00:28:07,413 Speaker 2: you close to yourself in your home, the anxiety grows. 582 00:28:07,493 --> 00:28:09,773 Speaker 2: I mean there's you know, if you look into it, 583 00:28:09,933 --> 00:28:13,013 Speaker 2: you know anxiety. It comes from the primitive parts of 584 00:28:13,013 --> 00:28:16,533 Speaker 2: your brain. They're mignlerance and such. And by not going 585 00:28:16,693 --> 00:28:19,733 Speaker 2: to school, that fear grows. But if you go to 586 00:28:19,853 --> 00:28:22,373 Speaker 2: school and you face other people and you socialize, then 587 00:28:22,413 --> 00:28:24,253 Speaker 2: you prove that that's not going to kill you by 588 00:28:24,333 --> 00:28:27,133 Speaker 2: doing it, so you go. So do you worry that 589 00:28:27,373 --> 00:28:29,613 Speaker 2: people that have a little bit of anxiety then go 590 00:28:29,773 --> 00:28:33,893 Speaker 2: to online learning and then that just accentuates the anxiety 591 00:28:34,853 --> 00:28:37,453 Speaker 2: over time because they're hiding from hiding from the thing 592 00:28:37,453 --> 00:28:39,453 Speaker 2: they're scared of, instead of facing the fears. 593 00:28:40,693 --> 00:28:43,093 Speaker 13: What worries me most is that we have so many 594 00:28:43,133 --> 00:28:45,973 Speaker 13: students leave at the handed as soon as they had 595 00:28:46,013 --> 00:28:49,533 Speaker 13: sixteen because we didn't work out what we needed. So 596 00:28:50,413 --> 00:28:53,613 Speaker 13: it's not necessarily about anxiety. There's all sorts of reasons 597 00:28:53,653 --> 00:28:56,933 Speaker 13: why they leave. And if we knew more and spent 598 00:28:57,053 --> 00:29:01,013 Speaker 13: more time working on what that was instead of telling 599 00:29:01,253 --> 00:29:05,453 Speaker 13: that their failure right through their career and education, maybe 600 00:29:05,533 --> 00:29:09,413 Speaker 13: they would stay and engage more with learning, to my 601 00:29:09,573 --> 00:29:15,293 Speaker 13: mind as the bigger challenge. So there are people who, yes, 602 00:29:15,373 --> 00:29:19,133 Speaker 13: we should try as best as possible, but an industrial 603 00:29:19,253 --> 00:29:21,693 Speaker 13: skill model which we have at the moment, which is 604 00:29:21,773 --> 00:29:24,773 Speaker 13: that one say spits all, is not a good method 605 00:29:24,813 --> 00:29:25,973 Speaker 13: of educating our kids. 606 00:29:26,693 --> 00:29:30,293 Speaker 2: Oh definitely. And as you as you say, like saying 607 00:29:30,333 --> 00:29:34,773 Speaker 2: the example of someone that has immune immunity problems or 608 00:29:34,813 --> 00:29:38,653 Speaker 2: immune deficiency, I'm not sure exactly you described it. Obviously, 609 00:29:38,973 --> 00:29:42,413 Speaker 2: what a fantastic thing if technology means that they can 610 00:29:42,493 --> 00:29:47,453 Speaker 2: still learn without risking their health. I agree, but I 611 00:29:47,653 --> 00:29:52,413 Speaker 2: just guess I see it as being sure a solution 612 00:29:52,533 --> 00:29:55,893 Speaker 2: that you can have in little points of specific specific things. 613 00:29:56,413 --> 00:30:00,133 Speaker 2: But my feeling is that the more we can get 614 00:30:00,213 --> 00:30:02,613 Speaker 2: kids together and the more we can get them interacting 615 00:30:02,653 --> 00:30:05,093 Speaker 2: with each other and interacting with teachers face to face, 616 00:30:05,933 --> 00:30:10,093 Speaker 2: the better. So that should be the absolute biggest push, 617 00:30:10,533 --> 00:30:13,413 Speaker 2: rather than leaning into what can be slightly convenient. And 618 00:30:13,533 --> 00:30:16,213 Speaker 2: that you go to a video call for convenience rather 619 00:30:16,333 --> 00:30:18,653 Speaker 2: than necessity. And I think what you're talking about more 620 00:30:18,773 --> 00:30:22,493 Speaker 2: is that the video calls the video teaching as a 621 00:30:22,573 --> 00:30:28,173 Speaker 2: tool of necessity and I wouldn't argue with that, Michael. 622 00:30:28,373 --> 00:30:32,293 Speaker 13: Good points, but again I'd come back to it's not 623 00:30:32,413 --> 00:30:36,173 Speaker 13: about one or other or in a rather boundary way. 624 00:30:36,653 --> 00:30:39,813 Speaker 13: It's about a design and learning for individual students. And 625 00:30:39,893 --> 00:30:42,373 Speaker 13: to be honest, we don't give our teachers enough time 626 00:30:42,453 --> 00:30:46,293 Speaker 13: and space. And you know, while we're saying that kids 627 00:30:46,373 --> 00:30:49,053 Speaker 13: need to do in our of reading, writing, and rithmetic 628 00:30:49,173 --> 00:30:52,093 Speaker 13: every day, there are kids for whom that's you know, 629 00:30:52,253 --> 00:30:53,973 Speaker 13: we really need to do that and get them into 630 00:30:54,013 --> 00:30:56,693 Speaker 13: the discipline of it. But there's others that are so 631 00:30:56,813 --> 00:30:59,933 Speaker 13: far ahead of that. And that's part of the issue 632 00:31:00,013 --> 00:31:01,773 Speaker 13: is that we take thirty kids, put them in a 633 00:31:01,813 --> 00:31:06,573 Speaker 13: classroom and assume that bottle thirty are at the level. 634 00:31:07,053 --> 00:31:09,373 Speaker 13: Some will be ahead and need it, some will be 635 00:31:09,493 --> 00:31:11,973 Speaker 13: behind and don't even get started, and the group in 636 00:31:12,053 --> 00:31:15,093 Speaker 13: the middle are what we target, and that's where we 637 00:31:15,213 --> 00:31:20,733 Speaker 13: need to you know, we an industrial skilled education is 638 00:31:21,173 --> 00:31:24,093 Speaker 13: what we've got at the moment, and our teachers do 639 00:31:24,253 --> 00:31:28,173 Speaker 13: a brilliant job of trying to work at that, and 640 00:31:29,013 --> 00:31:32,213 Speaker 13: we still don't hit the mark. So yeah, if you 641 00:31:32,253 --> 00:31:33,973 Speaker 13: want a good model, have a look at Fenland. 642 00:31:34,373 --> 00:31:36,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, you made some fear arguments. Michael just quickly before 643 00:31:36,773 --> 00:31:39,053 Speaker 3: you go, because I hear what you're saying, and there 644 00:31:39,253 --> 00:31:42,693 Speaker 3: are you know, use cases for kids who don't learn, 645 00:31:43,053 --> 00:31:46,053 Speaker 3: is you know, by being set in a classroom and 646 00:31:46,213 --> 00:31:48,413 Speaker 3: maybe they do have some social issues there that need 647 00:31:48,493 --> 00:31:50,493 Speaker 3: to be sorted out, and that's where online learning comes 648 00:31:50,533 --> 00:31:52,973 Speaker 3: into play. But you could probably see when you get 649 00:31:53,333 --> 00:31:56,653 Speaker 3: full schools tackling or having an online learning day on 650 00:31:56,733 --> 00:32:01,173 Speaker 3: a Friday, then that's kind of of the same problem. 651 00:32:01,213 --> 00:32:03,253 Speaker 3: It's just the flip side of the same coin, isn't 652 00:32:03,253 --> 00:32:05,533 Speaker 3: it is that for a lot of those kids at 653 00:32:05,573 --> 00:32:09,573 Speaker 3: that school, they thrive in being at school and around 654 00:32:09,813 --> 00:32:12,773 Speaker 3: the inmates, So it's disadvantaging those kids. 655 00:32:16,013 --> 00:32:20,933 Speaker 13: Yeah, I agree, you're taking it. You're using online again 656 00:32:21,253 --> 00:32:24,293 Speaker 13: as a one size fits all. That's my argument is 657 00:32:24,413 --> 00:32:28,093 Speaker 13: that we need to be able to design and look 658 00:32:28,293 --> 00:32:30,253 Speaker 13: that you're going to get the other ones who say, look, 659 00:32:30,253 --> 00:32:32,013 Speaker 13: I want to take Thursday off and go for a 660 00:32:32,053 --> 00:32:34,973 Speaker 13: long again. So online learning works for me. And that's 661 00:32:35,053 --> 00:32:38,013 Speaker 13: probably what where the skrill have got to as they've said, 662 00:32:38,053 --> 00:32:40,773 Speaker 13: well the best we can do. And the only thing 663 00:32:40,893 --> 00:32:44,093 Speaker 13: is I wonder how much they're counting that as a 664 00:32:44,213 --> 00:32:48,293 Speaker 13: day of instruction when a lot of kids are not 665 00:32:48,373 --> 00:32:50,573 Speaker 13: there so yeah, I don't know. 666 00:32:51,173 --> 00:32:53,013 Speaker 3: Michael, great to check with you. Thank you very much 667 00:32:53,053 --> 00:32:54,653 Speaker 3: for giving us a call. Oh, one hundred and eighty 668 00:32:54,733 --> 00:32:56,373 Speaker 3: ten eighty is the number to call. 669 00:32:56,773 --> 00:33:00,733 Speaker 2: I seriously think though that, well, I seriously think it's 670 00:33:00,773 --> 00:33:02,893 Speaker 2: not really what I want to say. I believe that 671 00:33:04,053 --> 00:33:07,893 Speaker 2: you that fears grow, and it's true they do. So 672 00:33:08,093 --> 00:33:10,493 Speaker 2: you've got to be careful that when someone could says 673 00:33:10,493 --> 00:33:12,973 Speaker 2: that they can't go to school because they're too anxious, 674 00:33:13,053 --> 00:33:15,173 Speaker 2: and then you start teaching them at home. And that's 675 00:33:15,213 --> 00:33:18,573 Speaker 2: not what Michael was talking about there, but you've just 676 00:33:18,613 --> 00:33:20,973 Speaker 2: got to be careful that you know, every day a 677 00:33:21,093 --> 00:33:23,573 Speaker 2: kid says they can't go to school because they're anxious, 678 00:33:23,573 --> 00:33:25,413 Speaker 2: and they don't go to school, that doesn't solve that 679 00:33:25,493 --> 00:33:28,733 Speaker 2: anxiety problem. That makes that anxiety problem grow because you've 680 00:33:28,773 --> 00:33:31,293 Speaker 2: taught them that they didn't go to school and so 681 00:33:31,413 --> 00:33:33,933 Speaker 2: nothing bad happened, So then school becomes more of a 682 00:33:33,973 --> 00:33:37,653 Speaker 2: more demon. So I think it should be very very 683 00:33:37,813 --> 00:33:41,773 Speaker 2: rare and very very very pointed, and only in very 684 00:33:41,813 --> 00:33:45,973 Speaker 2: particular situations that you have people learning online and great, 685 00:33:46,053 --> 00:33:47,813 Speaker 2: if they don't have the teacher of the subject in 686 00:33:47,853 --> 00:33:51,253 Speaker 2: that town, then that's a fantastic use of that technology brilliant. 687 00:33:51,573 --> 00:33:53,813 Speaker 2: But I think got to face your fears and go 688 00:33:53,933 --> 00:33:56,213 Speaker 2: to school, and anxiety should not be a reason that 689 00:33:56,293 --> 00:33:57,173 Speaker 2: you don't go to school. 690 00:33:57,253 --> 00:34:00,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, it is.

Is it just 698 00:34:20,093 --> 00:34:23,692 Speaker 3: a lazy fallback for teachers or is their worth as 699 00:34:23,773 --> 00:34:24,413 Speaker 3: online learning? 700 00:34:24,693 --> 00:34:26,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, here's a text on nine two nine two. I 701 00:34:26,533 --> 00:34:28,373 Speaker 2: wish we'd had online learning when I was at school 702 00:34:28,373 --> 00:34:30,893 Speaker 2: in nearly two thousands. I might have actually learned something. 703 00:34:31,013 --> 00:34:33,533 Speaker 2: Spent the whole time talking to mates and chasing girls 704 00:34:33,813 --> 00:34:36,613 Speaker 2: with a bit of lunchtime league throwing in the world 705 00:34:36,733 --> 00:34:40,093 Speaker 2: needs builders though, I guess that's one of the great 706 00:34:40,133 --> 00:34:43,933 Speaker 2: things about going to school. Yeah, as chasing girls around, mate, 707 00:34:44,613 --> 00:34:46,973 Speaker 2: talking to your mates, and playing league at lunchtime. 708 00:34:47,173 --> 00:34:49,493 Speaker 3: He would be a great person. Ever beer with I 709 00:34:49,653 --> 00:34:52,493 Speaker 3: reckon that socialization. That sounded like a great time, you'd 710 00:34:52,533 --> 00:34:53,493 Speaker 3: be a good bugger. 711 00:34:53,333 --> 00:34:56,212 Speaker 2: And this other text. Matt should have asked that caller, 712 00:34:56,293 --> 00:34:58,493 Speaker 2: what do people with anxiety do when they leave school? 713 00:34:58,733 --> 00:35:01,453 Speaker 2: Work from home? Just crazy? As you said, best to 714 00:35:01,493 --> 00:35:03,813 Speaker 2: face your fears. Yeah, I mean that's the thing school 715 00:35:03,933 --> 00:35:06,493 Speaker 2: is about, dealing, setting you up to deal with the 716 00:35:06,533 --> 00:35:08,813 Speaker 2: real world and go into the workforce and be functioning 717 00:35:08,853 --> 00:35:12,093 Speaker 2: member of society. So you need to face your fears 718 00:35:12,213 --> 00:35:14,973 Speaker 2: at that point, because maybe we're going to live in 719 00:35:15,013 --> 00:35:16,693 Speaker 2: a work world where everyone works at home. But I 720 00:35:16,733 --> 00:35:19,733 Speaker 2: think you know, hiding from the world is not the 721 00:35:19,773 --> 00:35:20,053 Speaker 2: way to go. 722 00:35:20,213 --> 00:35:22,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, Barbara, how are you this afternoon? 723 00:35:22,653 --> 00:35:23,533 Speaker 14: Oh good, thank you. 724 00:35:24,973 --> 00:35:27,693 Speaker 15: I really just wanted to clarify there's lots of different 725 00:35:27,813 --> 00:35:31,133 Speaker 15: versions of online learning. I think you're posting more on 726 00:35:31,733 --> 00:35:35,213 Speaker 15: online where the kids are on their own with texts 727 00:35:35,213 --> 00:35:38,613 Speaker 15: and things on the computer. But a lot of rural 728 00:35:38,693 --> 00:35:42,373 Speaker 15: schools have pretty fantastic learning networks set up where they 729 00:35:42,453 --> 00:35:46,693 Speaker 15: don't actually have a specific subject teacher in the senior school, 730 00:35:47,093 --> 00:35:50,212 Speaker 15: so they have an online tutor and the kids meet 731 00:35:50,293 --> 00:35:53,533 Speaker 15: together and there is a person in front of them. 732 00:35:53,573 --> 00:35:56,493 Speaker 15: And because one of the other callers was saying about 733 00:35:56,533 --> 00:35:59,973 Speaker 15: the interaction and communication that they do actually get that, 734 00:36:00,093 --> 00:36:03,133 Speaker 15: they don't necessarily get it every day. But then those 735 00:36:03,173 --> 00:36:05,453 Speaker 15: teachers also visit the schools. 736 00:36:05,133 --> 00:36:09,213 Speaker 2: And that's really cool time to time as well. I 737 00:36:09,293 --> 00:36:12,053 Speaker 2: really like that. I really like that. I really like that, Barbara. 738 00:36:12,133 --> 00:36:13,933 Speaker 2: That's that's a really cool idea because I think the 739 00:36:14,013 --> 00:36:15,813 Speaker 2: socializing I'm talking about a lot of it's to do 740 00:36:15,933 --> 00:36:19,573 Speaker 2: with the socializing with the other kids. And that's a 741 00:36:19,613 --> 00:36:21,053 Speaker 2: great thing if you can get if you can, if 742 00:36:21,093 --> 00:36:23,213 Speaker 2: you can get a really good teacher on the subject 743 00:36:23,293 --> 00:36:25,813 Speaker 2: from another place comes in. Does that does it come 744 00:36:25,853 --> 00:36:28,093 Speaker 2: in on a big screen, Barbara? Or are they all 745 00:36:28,133 --> 00:36:30,253 Speaker 2: on their own computer. 746 00:36:29,973 --> 00:36:32,533 Speaker 15: Screen and the no, no one big screen and they 747 00:36:33,093 --> 00:36:35,693 Speaker 15: and there might be just a small groups, might be 748 00:36:35,773 --> 00:36:39,013 Speaker 15: teen all doing the same subject. But that does but 749 00:36:39,493 --> 00:36:42,013 Speaker 15: there'll be other students from other schools Hopton as well. 750 00:36:42,453 --> 00:36:45,292 Speaker 15: So it's these networks running. They've been running two years. 751 00:36:45,613 --> 00:36:46,252 Speaker 2: That's really cool. 752 00:36:46,773 --> 00:36:49,373 Speaker 15: Just to talk about online learning, I think you need 753 00:36:49,453 --> 00:36:53,732 Speaker 15: to speak clarifying really talking about the dependent online at home. 754 00:36:53,973 --> 00:36:56,613 Speaker 2: Maybe yeah with that, Yeah, well, thank you so much 755 00:36:56,693 --> 00:36:59,933 Speaker 2: for bringing that up, Barbara.

After humiliating myself with about ten attempts 833 00:40:40,333 --> 00:40:42,413 Speaker 2: of this word, a lot of people have sent it 834 00:40:42,453 --> 00:40:45,693 Speaker 2: through phonetically for me to say, So here we go. Efficacy. 835 00:40:46,453 --> 00:40:48,252 Speaker 2: Efficacy is what I was trying to say. 836 00:40:48,413 --> 00:40:48,652 Speaker 4: Nailed. 837 00:40:48,733 --> 00:40:51,613 Speaker 2: That is a hard word to get when well, you know, 838 00:40:51,733 --> 00:40:53,493 Speaker 2: when you start getting it wrong. It's hard to bring 839 00:40:53,533 --> 00:40:58,333 Speaker 2: that one back because you're trying to say effective and effectiveacy. 840 00:40:58,773 --> 00:41:00,653 Speaker 2: But it's efficacy, efficacy. 841 00:41:00,893 --> 00:41:02,773 Speaker 3: It's one of those words when you look at and 842 00:41:02,893 --> 00:41:06,813 Speaker 3: it's not quite phonetically spelled out the English language. Man, 843 00:41:06,893 --> 00:41:08,293 Speaker 3: it's it's a weird leg word. 844 00:41:10,053 --> 00:41:11,732 Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been in a situation I've 845 00:41:11,973 --> 00:41:14,172 Speaker 2: been a broadcast a very long time where I've had 846 00:41:14,293 --> 00:41:15,893 Speaker 2: five attempts at a word and failure. 847 00:41:18,053 --> 00:41:19,213 Speaker 3: Good. Good to put that one to be. 848 00:41:19,453 --> 00:41:23,373 Speaker 2: This business is efficiency. Don't add fish into it. 849 00:41:23,653 --> 00:41:25,773 Speaker 3: Don't do that. We've only just cracked it. 850 00:41:26,893 --> 00:41:27,013 Speaker 12: Now. 851 00:41:27,053 --> 00:41:28,973 Speaker 3: We are talking about online learning. This is on the 852 00:41:29,013 --> 00:41:32,093 Speaker 3: back of Whisk School saying that they are going to 853 00:41:32,173 --> 00:41:35,213 Speaker 3: have an online learning day on Friday. Some schools have 854 00:41:35,293 --> 00:41:38,013 Speaker 3: even gone further, and I've got a teacher's only day 855 00:41:38,053 --> 00:41:40,413 Speaker 3: in quotation marks effectively just a day off to have 856 00:41:40,453 --> 00:41:42,933 Speaker 3: a long weekend. But we've been having a great discussion 857 00:41:42,973 --> 00:41:46,053 Speaker 3: about the efficacy of online learning. 858 00:41:46,773 --> 00:41:49,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's sort of I guess pivoted a little 859 00:41:49,893 --> 00:41:54,893 Speaker 2: bit the discussion towards children that are anxious and staying 860 00:41:54,893 --> 00:41:57,533 Speaker 2: at home and learning online and hiding from the world 861 00:41:57,893 --> 00:42:01,093 Speaker 2: through anxiety. And I was saying that anxiety in school 862 00:42:01,573 --> 00:42:03,493 Speaker 2: is the best way to deal with anxiety is just 863 00:42:03,973 --> 00:42:05,853 Speaker 2: go to school, because if you hide from your fears, 864 00:42:05,973 --> 00:42:09,973 Speaker 2: they grow, as we know. So, yeah, online learning, let's 865 00:42:10,053 --> 00:42:12,133 Speaker 2: keep it going. It's not really putting the boot into 866 00:42:12,213 --> 00:42:17,252 Speaker 2: Westlake Girls High School for having their online day because 867 00:42:17,293 --> 00:42:20,453 Speaker 2: they're they're they're trialing it and testing their systems for 868 00:42:20,533 --> 00:42:23,653 Speaker 2: potential emergencies in the future. It's just really asking the 869 00:42:23,733 --> 00:42:33,253 Speaker 2: question about the key. Oh, no, efficacy, efficacy. I need 870 00:42:33,333 --> 00:42:35,173 Speaker 2: some online pronunciation and teaching. 871 00:42:35,453 --> 00:42:38,893 Speaker 3: I had a hundred I I forgot the number now 872 00:42:40,653 --> 00:42:42,733 Speaker 3: coming off its coming off is the number to call 873 00:42:42,813 --> 00:42:45,373 Speaker 3: nine two nine to two is the number. Johnny, how 874 00:42:45,413 --> 00:42:46,213 Speaker 3: are you this afternoon? 875 00:42:47,013 --> 00:42:49,653 Speaker 16: And you guys are starting this? I liked Spike Jones 876 00:42:49,693 --> 00:42:50,213 Speaker 16: and the BBC. 877 00:42:50,533 --> 00:42:53,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, I need some whiskey in here on something show. 878 00:42:55,053 --> 00:42:58,813 Speaker 16: Yeah man, Yeah, producer must be following his here out. 879 00:42:59,773 --> 00:43:02,093 Speaker 3: He's shaken his here, but he's laughing at the same time. 880 00:43:02,133 --> 00:43:04,173 Speaker 2: So the year ago, yeah, we don't have that. We 881 00:43:04,253 --> 00:43:05,973 Speaker 2: don't have the pronunciation. 882 00:43:07,453 --> 00:43:12,653 Speaker 16: Yeah, speaking none. Seriously, I think all kids should go 883 00:43:12,733 --> 00:43:16,573 Speaker 16: to school, but the reality is that most kids should 884 00:43:16,613 --> 00:43:19,853 Speaker 16: go to school. In attend schools group where I was 885 00:43:19,933 --> 00:43:25,413 Speaker 16: bullied at school, and there are other kids I knew 886 00:43:25,413 --> 00:43:28,173 Speaker 16: who were bullied and those who were bullies, and it 887 00:43:28,293 --> 00:43:33,252 Speaker 16: seems that most of the bullies got expelled pretty early. 888 00:43:34,213 --> 00:43:39,013 Speaker 16: But some kids' behavior they might be on the spectrum, 889 00:43:39,493 --> 00:43:45,773 Speaker 16: they might have autism. There's a lot more accounts of 890 00:43:46,213 --> 00:43:50,373 Speaker 16: kids getting ADHD now and behavioral disorders, and we've got 891 00:43:50,493 --> 00:43:55,133 Speaker 16: names for things now in conditions. So we have people 892 00:43:55,773 --> 00:44:00,293 Speaker 16: who object to kids going to school on the basis 893 00:44:00,333 --> 00:44:03,573 Speaker 16: that those kids are disabled. We don't. We've got parents, 894 00:44:03,653 --> 00:44:05,533 Speaker 16: you know, bring up talking so they shouldn't be in 895 00:44:05,573 --> 00:44:07,652 Speaker 16: school with my kid because they're stopping them from learning. 896 00:44:08,173 --> 00:44:10,093 Speaker 16: And a lot of those kids do really well in 897 00:44:10,213 --> 00:44:14,813 Speaker 16: online learning situations where they kids that might normally be 898 00:44:14,893 --> 00:44:20,053 Speaker 16: a distraction or be difficult in class often thrive. It's 899 00:44:20,133 --> 00:44:22,733 Speaker 16: like they say about kids with ADHD, boys with ADHD. 900 00:44:22,853 --> 00:44:25,573 Speaker 16: Give them an engine to fix something like that. And 901 00:44:26,253 --> 00:44:30,893 Speaker 16: so we're seeing people adapting, you know, the education system. 902 00:44:31,253 --> 00:44:36,133 Speaker 16: And now we've adapted to you know, introducing you know, 903 00:44:36,533 --> 00:44:39,493 Speaker 16: sex politics and to children at young ages at primary 904 00:44:39,533 --> 00:44:43,213 Speaker 16: school even but we haven't adapted to the needs of 905 00:44:43,293 --> 00:44:46,813 Speaker 16: the kids that are that are falling behind and getting 906 00:44:48,013 --> 00:44:52,813 Speaker 16: behind because they're not learning in an audio or visual way. 907 00:44:53,173 --> 00:44:56,212 Speaker 16: You know, there might be kinasthenic learners and we haven't 908 00:44:56,253 --> 00:44:58,813 Speaker 16: identified those kids, or we've identified them that we don't 909 00:44:58,813 --> 00:45:01,653 Speaker 16: have resources. So online learning I think is an escepsially 910 00:45:01,733 --> 00:45:06,613 Speaker 16: good tool, but it might be a good tool for that, 911 00:45:06,773 --> 00:45:08,093 Speaker 16: But I don't think it's a good tool to deal 912 00:45:08,133 --> 00:45:11,613 Speaker 16: with kids they are anxious about getting bullied because the 913 00:45:11,653 --> 00:45:12,933 Speaker 16: actual problem is the bullying. 914 00:45:13,213 --> 00:45:15,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, i'd agree with that. If if a kid can't 915 00:45:15,933 --> 00:45:18,212 Speaker 2: go to school if they're scared, that's a little bit different. 916 00:45:18,253 --> 00:45:21,293 Speaker 2: Being socially anxious is what I'm talking about. If you're 917 00:45:21,333 --> 00:45:23,933 Speaker 2: actually scared because there's someone bullying you, then that that 918 00:45:24,213 --> 00:45:26,212 Speaker 2: needs to be something that the school needs to sort 919 00:45:26,293 --> 00:45:29,293 Speaker 2: out the bully. Now, Johnny, do you work in education. 920 00:45:30,613 --> 00:45:33,293 Speaker 16: No, No, I've got an education. It started in the 921 00:45:33,333 --> 00:45:35,292 Speaker 16: poorstal wow. 922 00:45:35,453 --> 00:45:35,613 Speaker 5: Yeah. 923 00:45:38,693 --> 00:45:38,893 Speaker 4: Yeah. 924 00:45:39,453 --> 00:45:41,853 Speaker 16: I'm fifty one now, so I've it took me a 925 00:45:41,893 --> 00:45:43,813 Speaker 16: long time to get my education and start to use 926 00:45:43,853 --> 00:45:47,493 Speaker 16: it in a practical sense. But I believe I see 927 00:45:47,493 --> 00:45:49,692 Speaker 16: a lot of kids in my neighborhood and I listened 928 00:45:49,733 --> 00:45:52,853 Speaker 16: to them, and they talk like Americans, and it's because 929 00:45:52,853 --> 00:45:56,813 Speaker 16: of what they're plugging into and the days of us 930 00:45:56,893 --> 00:46:01,133 Speaker 16: writing on slope cards and they're a long cone. But 931 00:46:01,773 --> 00:46:04,172 Speaker 16: some of the things we left behind or threw away rather, 932 00:46:05,213 --> 00:46:09,413 Speaker 16: I believe that they they're missing in our community now. 933 00:46:09,733 --> 00:46:14,093 Speaker 16: And we've got teachers who can't spell. We've got public 934 00:46:14,173 --> 00:46:21,413 Speaker 16: servants that have appalling method because they are almost illiterate, 935 00:46:21,733 --> 00:46:24,853 Speaker 16: and I think it's a real shame. So online learning 936 00:46:24,853 --> 00:46:27,973 Speaker 16: should be a thing to make people proficient. It shouldn't 937 00:46:28,013 --> 00:46:32,893 Speaker 16: be something that's an option for trendy parents. I've seen 938 00:46:32,933 --> 00:46:35,413 Speaker 16: the kids who did correspondence school through the nineties because 939 00:46:35,413 --> 00:46:37,533 Speaker 16: their parents were house struckers and living on the road 940 00:46:37,653 --> 00:46:40,133 Speaker 16: and you know, in a band and stuff like that. 941 00:46:40,293 --> 00:46:42,773 Speaker 16: And I've known those children and most of them are 942 00:46:42,813 --> 00:46:45,453 Speaker 16: sort of like out of work now, haven't really been 943 00:46:45,493 --> 00:46:49,613 Speaker 16: in work. And it's not to put people downhore doing correspondence, 944 00:46:49,933 --> 00:46:53,453 Speaker 16: because I do a lot of correspondence behind the wire, 945 00:46:54,333 --> 00:46:57,573 Speaker 16: and it's just saying that the school is a place 946 00:46:57,653 --> 00:46:59,573 Speaker 16: to socially adapt and we need to keep the social 947 00:46:59,653 --> 00:47:04,693 Speaker 16: environment there in check. We need to keep it structured 948 00:47:04,773 --> 00:47:07,133 Speaker 16: in a way that we can identify those kids who 949 00:47:07,173 --> 00:47:11,813 Speaker 16: are falling behind and use these online resources to help them. 950 00:47:11,853 --> 00:47:15,933 Speaker 16: But not not quit pe not quit going for a 951 00:47:16,013 --> 00:47:18,853 Speaker 16: run around the gully and getting mud all over yourself. 952 00:47:19,053 --> 00:47:21,173 Speaker 2: I agree that, Johnny. It's interesting you say about the 953 00:47:21,373 --> 00:47:24,493 Speaker 2: Correspondent School because my uncle Tim Heath wrote this fantastic 954 00:47:24,773 --> 00:47:27,212 Speaker 2: called The Accidental Teacher. It's a really good read about 955 00:47:27,213 --> 00:47:29,933 Speaker 2: a guy that had a really interesting educational career. But 956 00:47:30,053 --> 00:47:33,173 Speaker 2: one of his jobs for a while was he looked 957 00:47:33,213 --> 00:47:35,973 Speaker 2: after those people that were you know, that's the house 958 00:47:36,013 --> 00:47:39,133 Speaker 2: bus kids, and he used to have to go and 959 00:47:39,253 --> 00:47:41,613 Speaker 2: visit them, and so he talks about it. He used 960 00:47:41,653 --> 00:47:43,253 Speaker 2: to have to go over to Wahigi Island and tramp 961 00:47:43,333 --> 00:47:46,853 Speaker 2: into the bush to find this family who were loving 962 00:47:46,933 --> 00:47:49,573 Speaker 2: in tents to give them, give them, give them a 963 00:47:49,613 --> 00:47:51,893 Speaker 2: little bit of education and check that they're actually being 964 00:47:51,933 --> 00:47:54,333 Speaker 2: taught out in this out in the in the in 965 00:47:54,413 --> 00:47:57,173 Speaker 2: the absolute wilderness. It's a really interesting story of how 966 00:47:57,213 --> 00:47:57,853 Speaker 2: that used to work. 967 00:47:58,573 --> 00:48:01,493 Speaker 16: You know, one of one of our best spoken DJs, 968 00:48:01,573 --> 00:48:05,453 Speaker 16: Colin Broadly from Radio Haraki.

There's a lot of teachs coming. 994 00:49:17,853 --> 00:49:23,333 Speaker 2: Through to be pedantic. It's effectiveness. Efficacy is more related 995 00:49:23,373 --> 00:49:27,373 Speaker 2: to control a trial. Effectiveness relates to outcomes. That's great 996 00:49:27,373 --> 00:49:28,773 Speaker 2: news for me because I don't even want to have 997 00:49:28,813 --> 00:49:31,053 Speaker 2: to say efficacy again. 998 00:49:31,293 --> 00:49:35,413 Speaker 3: You never have to now you can say perfect rolls off. Okay, 999 00:49:35,693 --> 00:49:37,933 Speaker 3: we've been using efficacy wrong this whole time. 1000 00:49:38,333 --> 00:49:42,773 Speaker 2: So today we're talking about the effectiveness of online learning 1001 00:49:43,133 --> 00:49:52,253 Speaker 2: for children and the effectiveness or the or yeah sorry so, 1002 00:49:52,453 --> 00:49:54,933 Speaker 2: and we're talking about whether it's a good idea for 1003 00:49:55,173 --> 00:49:58,013 Speaker 2: child socially anxious to keep them find ways to keep 1004 00:49:58,053 --> 00:49:59,693 Speaker 2: them home instead of forcing them to go to school 1005 00:49:59,733 --> 00:50:00,133 Speaker 2: to deal with it. 1006 00:50:00,253 --> 00:50:04,413 Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is online learning effective 1007 00:50:04,653 --> 00:50:06,573 Speaker 3: or not?

We're talking about the effectiveness of online learning. 1014 00:50:30,133 --> 00:50:33,333 Speaker 3: On the back of some schools on Friday using it 1015 00:50:33,413 --> 00:50:36,093 Speaker 3: as an online learning day, you could argue that they 1016 00:50:36,133 --> 00:50:37,733 Speaker 3: are doing a bit better than other schools that are 1017 00:50:37,773 --> 00:50:40,853 Speaker 3: just having a teacher only day. Some great techs coming 1018 00:50:40,893 --> 00:50:42,573 Speaker 3: through on nine to nine to two. 1019 00:50:43,453 --> 00:50:46,573 Speaker 2: Online learning and work from home will cause mental health 1020 00:50:46,613 --> 00:50:49,373 Speaker 2: issues in the long term, humans need to be social 1021 00:50:49,453 --> 00:50:52,893 Speaker 2: and connect with people, share experiences and ideas to grow 1022 00:50:53,093 --> 00:50:58,413 Speaker 2: and thrive. That's really well put, much more, much more. 1023 00:50:59,173 --> 00:51:01,453 Speaker 2: Forgot how to speak after the whole effect. 1024 00:51:01,693 --> 00:51:04,053 Speaker 3: It's a weird week. It's a short week for many anyway. 1025 00:51:05,533 --> 00:51:08,173 Speaker 2: I'm not going to tend that work again. Yeah, but 1026 00:51:08,773 --> 00:51:12,213 Speaker 2: that's articulated what I was trying to say perfectly on 1027 00:51:12,333 --> 00:51:14,893 Speaker 2: my learning and work from home will cause mental issues. 1028 00:51:14,933 --> 00:51:16,973 Speaker 2: In the long term, humans need to be social and 1029 00:51:17,013 --> 00:51:19,613 Speaker 2: connect with people, share experiences and ideas and grow and 1030 00:51:19,933 --> 00:51:21,213 Speaker 2: grow and thrive. And I guess that's what I was 1031 00:51:21,293 --> 00:51:26,772 Speaker 2: really saying about online learning. I think everything should push 1032 00:51:26,893 --> 00:51:31,693 Speaker 2: towards learning around other people and going to work, working 1033 00:51:31,733 --> 00:51:34,893 Speaker 2: with other people, and spending time with other people outside 1034 00:51:34,933 --> 00:51:38,212 Speaker 2: of work, joining clubs, socializing, going around to people's dinner 1035 00:51:38,613 --> 00:51:42,133 Speaker 2: houses for dinner, barbecues, going out for dinner and restaurants, 1036 00:51:42,133 --> 00:51:44,252 Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. Every time we can spend 1037 00:51:44,733 --> 00:51:48,213 Speaker 2: time with other people, that is better because we're social creatures. 1038 00:51:48,213 --> 00:51:49,733 Speaker 2: As I say on the show a couple of times, 1039 00:51:50,053 --> 00:51:54,133 Speaker 2: the biggest punishment in prison as solitary confinement, because it's 1040 00:51:54,173 --> 00:51:56,293 Speaker 2: horrible for humans to be away from each other. Except for, 1041 00:51:56,413 --> 00:51:58,573 Speaker 2: you know, there's some people that love it. God Zen 1042 00:51:58,613 --> 00:51:59,573 Speaker 2: Buddhist is really into it. 1043 00:51:59,693 --> 00:52:02,413 Speaker 3: But so I get to be on top of a mountain, though, 1044 00:52:02,413 --> 00:52:02,973 Speaker 3: how beautiful. 1045 00:52:03,173 --> 00:52:07,493 Speaker 2: Everything should be geared away from online learning, in my opinion, 1046 00:52:07,653 --> 00:52:10,693 Speaker 2: except for the very clear and good examples that people 1047 00:52:10,773 --> 00:52:14,213 Speaker 2: have given. And I think it's fantastic that they can 1048 00:52:14,333 --> 00:52:19,212 Speaker 2: use technology to send a teacher into a teacher who 1049 00:52:19,373 --> 00:52:21,253 Speaker 2: isn't living in an area, can teach on a subject 1050 00:52:21,253 --> 00:52:22,692 Speaker 2: that they're really good at to a class of ten 1051 00:52:22,733 --> 00:52:24,493 Speaker 2: people that are watching on the screen, who've got a 1052 00:52:24,573 --> 00:52:27,813 Speaker 2: tutor in the room. That's fantastic use of the technology. 1053 00:52:28,133 --> 00:52:30,652 Speaker 2: But the key is having the ten kids in the room. 1054 00:52:31,333 --> 00:52:34,453 Speaker 3: You know, well, you've mentioned this guy's name on a 1055 00:52:34,493 --> 00:52:37,053 Speaker 3: few occasions, Jonathan Hights, and he released a book not 1056 00:52:37,133 --> 00:52:39,933 Speaker 3: too long ago, The Anxious Generation. But it makes it 1057 00:52:40,173 --> 00:52:43,373 Speaker 3: makes a very clear point that we've got a problem 1058 00:52:43,533 --> 00:52:47,733 Speaker 3: with the increase of so called clinic clinical anxiety in children. Right, 1059 00:52:47,813 --> 00:52:51,573 Speaker 3: it's doubled from two ten to twenty eighteen. And it 1060 00:52:51,733 --> 00:52:54,973 Speaker 3: always comes back to the increase in technology. These worlds 1061 00:52:55,053 --> 00:52:57,732 Speaker 3: that they dive into that we all thought were a great, 1062 00:52:57,773 --> 00:53:00,053 Speaker 3: great way to keep in touch with anybody around the world, 1063 00:53:00,253 --> 00:53:01,493 Speaker 3: and it was going to be a game changer, and 1064 00:53:01,533 --> 00:53:03,413 Speaker 3: they have been a game changer, but it is not 1065 00:53:03,533 --> 00:53:06,573 Speaker 3: real life, and that is having massive ramifications for children. 1066 00:53:06,773 --> 00:53:08,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so if a kids says the anxios and 1067 00:53:08,453 --> 00:53:10,253 Speaker 2: they don't want to go to school because they're socially anxious, 1068 00:53:10,333 --> 00:53:11,853 Speaker 2: you find out that they're not going to school and 1069 00:53:11,853 --> 00:53:13,573 Speaker 2: they're finding going to school there anxious. That's the kid 1070 00:53:13,653 --> 00:53:17,853 Speaker 2: you have to absolutely forced to go to school, absolutely, 1071 00:53:17,973 --> 00:53:21,253 Speaker 2: because that anxiety only grows from being at home and 1072 00:53:21,493 --> 00:53:24,693 Speaker 2: social media is no way to socialize. That just creates 1073 00:53:24,773 --> 00:53:27,853 Speaker 2: that that increases your anxiety. So you have to grab 1074 00:53:27,893 --> 00:53:29,733 Speaker 2: that cad and force them to go to school. There 1075 00:53:29,773 --> 00:53:32,213 Speaker 2: shouldn't know, there should be no discussion about it at all. 1076 00:53:32,573 --> 00:53:34,613 Speaker 2: A kid that's too anxious to go to school, Oh, 1077 00:53:34,733 --> 00:53:36,652 Speaker 2: kids go to school. Yeah, you're not going to get 1078 00:53:36,733 --> 00:53:38,253 Speaker 2: less anxious from hiding from something. 1079 00:53:39,213 --> 00:53:40,533 Speaker 3: Luke, how are you this afternoon? 1080 00:53:41,293 --> 00:53:42,772 Speaker 9: I'm good?

The first term is so disruptive 1142 00:56:18,493 --> 00:56:24,333 Speaker 2: just one second.

That's really really harsh to blame the 1150 00:56:45,653 --> 00:56:47,613 Speaker 2: teachers for that is if they have any decision on that, 1151 00:56:47,773 --> 00:56:50,253 Speaker 2: and they have been allocated for teachers only days a year. 1152 00:56:50,373 --> 00:56:53,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've approve if you questions. 1153 00:56:53,093 --> 00:56:55,053 Speaker 2: If you question that, then that's to do with the 1154 00:56:55,133 --> 00:56:58,013 Speaker 2: Ministry of Education, isn't it. And also, you know, my 1155 00:56:58,133 --> 00:57:00,933 Speaker 2: mum was a teacher. She worked incredibly hard. The idea 1156 00:57:00,973 --> 00:57:04,772 Speaker 2: that teachers don't work hard. I totally dispute that. Every 1157 00:57:04,853 --> 00:57:07,853 Speaker 2: teacher I know takes on such an emotional load from 1158 00:57:07,853 --> 00:57:10,093 Speaker 2: their kids and put so much of it in that 1159 00:57:11,133 --> 00:57:13,732 Speaker 2: the idea that they are somehow got a better deal 1160 00:57:13,813 --> 00:57:15,573 Speaker 2: than the rest of us, I don't agree with that. 1161 00:57:15,853 --> 00:57:18,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fair point. It make a difference, right. 1162 00:57:18,053 --> 00:57:19,853 Speaker 3: We all know teachers don't go into the profession to 1163 00:57:19,893 --> 00:57:21,933 Speaker 3: get rich. They certainly don't do that. Yeah, and it's 1164 00:57:21,933 --> 00:57:22,253 Speaker 3: a bit. 1165 00:57:22,213 --> 00:57:26,133 Speaker 2: Rich us hassling with slack girls high school for taking 1166 00:57:26,333 --> 00:57:29,773 Speaker 2: day off on Friday.

Please 1171 00:57:38,573 --> 00:57:41,453 Speaker 2: stop talking like you're qualified to judge what's good or 1172 00:57:41,493 --> 00:57:45,093 Speaker 2: bad for people. Just because you think social connection is 1173 00:57:45,133 --> 00:57:46,973 Speaker 2: required for people does not mean that there's a case. 1174 00:57:47,013 --> 00:57:49,213 Speaker 2: Everyone is different and many people do not enjoy that 1175 00:57:49,333 --> 00:57:52,493 Speaker 2: kind of interaction. There are also many people who are 1176 00:57:52,533 --> 00:57:55,493 Speaker 2: perfectly happy to minimize interaction and work better alone. The 1177 00:57:55,573 --> 00:57:59,013 Speaker 2: information available to children is a massive part of the issue. 1178 00:57:59,053 --> 00:58:00,893 Speaker 2: They have not any of the crap that you guys 1179 00:58:00,893 --> 00:58:03,693 Speaker 2: are bleeding on about. Well, please stop talking about things. 1180 00:58:04,373 --> 00:58:07,173 Speaker 2: In what world do you think that people shouldn't talk 1181 00:58:07,213 --> 00:58:09,573 Speaker 2: about things and discussion issues that are to do with 1182 00:58:09,973 --> 00:58:13,133 Speaker 2: the society that we live in. Yeah, that's an absolutely 1183 00:58:13,333 --> 00:58:17,133 Speaker 2: outrageous thing to say, especially to RINGK especially the text 1184 00:58:17,253 --> 00:58:19,813 Speaker 2: talkback radio and say please stop talking about things. 1185 00:58:19,853 --> 00:58:22,173 Speaker 3: Wouldn't be much of a show if we stop talking. Yeah, 1186 00:58:23,293 --> 00:58:24,053 Speaker 3: how are you, Brendan? 1187 00:58:25,613 --> 00:58:27,893 Speaker 18: Yeah, Hi, guys, Yeah, please don't stop talking about it, 1188 00:58:27,933 --> 00:58:30,853 Speaker 18: because I think this is a really important subject. You know, 1189 00:58:31,093 --> 00:58:34,053 Speaker 18: we're we're involved in after school to deliver them after 1190 00:58:34,093 --> 00:58:38,613 Speaker 18: school education for children. We have been doing that for 1191 00:58:38,893 --> 00:58:41,613 Speaker 18: over twenty years, and we've had a lot of experience 1192 00:58:41,733 --> 00:58:45,613 Speaker 18: in the face to face versus online space, and so 1193 00:58:46,013 --> 00:58:48,773 Speaker 18: what I'd just say is that we know, through the 1194 00:58:48,893 --> 00:58:51,813 Speaker 18: data that we've collected over the years of delivering in 1195 00:58:51,893 --> 00:58:55,853 Speaker 18: the center, face to face small group lessons versus the 1196 00:58:55,973 --> 00:58:58,573 Speaker 18: online lessons, that we do our best work when we're 1197 00:58:58,613 --> 00:59:01,293 Speaker 18: face to face. So we know that and that's what 1198 00:59:01,453 --> 00:59:03,893 Speaker 18: we want to deliver, and we think that's where most 1199 00:59:03,933 --> 00:59:07,413 Speaker 18: of the students perform best and get the best results. 1200 00:59:07,813 --> 00:59:11,253 Speaker 18: Having said that, we do also offer the opportunity for 1201 00:59:11,493 --> 00:59:15,373 Speaker 18: some children to be tutored online and that goes really 1202 00:59:15,413 --> 00:59:18,693 Speaker 18: well for kids who live rarely. And also it's important 1203 00:59:18,693 --> 00:59:20,453 Speaker 18: to remember there's some kiddies out there that have got 1204 00:59:20,533 --> 00:59:23,693 Speaker 18: some really serious health needs and literally getting out of 1205 00:59:23,733 --> 00:59:26,093 Speaker 18: the house for them is a big mission and it 1206 00:59:26,173 --> 00:59:28,773 Speaker 18: may not be around as simple as you know. Quote 1207 00:59:28,853 --> 00:59:31,933 Speaker 18: unquote mental health, but it could be actual, you know, 1208 00:59:32,133 --> 00:59:36,013 Speaker 18: significant physical issues that are that are holding them back, 1209 00:59:36,213 --> 00:59:38,733 Speaker 18: or maybe some serious treatment that they're undergoing. So there's 1210 00:59:38,773 --> 00:59:41,413 Speaker 18: still a place for that online learning one hundred percent. 1211 00:59:41,813 --> 00:59:44,573 Speaker 18: But you know, kids, really they need to be there. 1212 00:59:44,653 --> 00:59:47,973 Speaker 18: They need to be there in person and accountable and 1213 00:59:48,093 --> 00:59:50,613 Speaker 18: help to account and it's very difficult to do that 1214 00:59:50,693 --> 00:59:54,053 Speaker 18: in a virtual environment. So for parents who are feeling 1215 00:59:54,093 --> 00:59:57,133 Speaker 18: a little frustrated about having a you know, an online 1216 00:59:57,413 --> 01:00:00,173 Speaker 18: learning day on Friday in the first week of school, 1217 01:00:00,693 --> 01:00:02,813 Speaker 18: totally hear you because I've got three kids as well, 1218 01:00:03,573 --> 01:00:06,813 Speaker 18: and I would say that you know, kids in general, 1219 01:00:06,973 --> 01:00:09,213 Speaker 18: for most children, they will war and better when they 1220 01:00:09,293 --> 01:00:12,893 Speaker 18: have a real quality teacher there with them, guiding them 1221 01:00:13,013 --> 01:00:14,973 Speaker 18: and helping them to be the best that they can be. 1222 01:00:15,293 --> 01:00:18,493 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, thanks, thanks, thanks for that, Brendan. And it's 1223 01:00:18,533 --> 01:00:22,013 Speaker 2: interesting because you know that that's when technologies are absolutely 1224 01:00:22,133 --> 01:00:24,573 Speaker 2: at its best. Right when when you have someone that 1225 01:00:24,733 --> 01:00:26,813 Speaker 2: has a reason why they can't be there, maybe they're 1226 01:00:26,893 --> 01:00:30,053 Speaker 2: rurally or they've got a health reason, or whatever reason 1227 01:00:30,093 --> 01:00:32,893 Speaker 2: where that specific person would not be able to have 1228 01:00:33,293 --> 01:00:36,773 Speaker 2: the education that they can get with the help of technology, 1229 01:00:36,813 --> 01:00:40,453 Speaker 2: then that is wicked and it absolutely should be celebrated. 1230 01:00:40,813 --> 01:00:42,413 Speaker 2: But I think you agree with me when I say 1231 01:00:42,493 --> 01:00:46,453 Speaker 2: that that the needle should be tipped towards kids socializing, 1232 01:00:46,653 --> 01:00:50,493 Speaker 2: being around with other people and having real interactions if 1233 01:00:50,533 --> 01:00:51,253 Speaker 2: at all possible. 1234 01:00:52,573 --> 01:00:53,253 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think in. 1235 01:00:53,333 --> 01:00:55,893 Speaker 18: General, you know, that's a healthy place for most children 1236 01:00:55,973 --> 01:00:58,213 Speaker 18: to be. But you know, and it's easy for those 1237 01:00:58,253 --> 01:01:00,133 Speaker 18: of us that live in the big city to go, oh, 1238 01:01:00,293 --> 01:01:02,133 Speaker 18: you know, connect to me is not such an issue. 1239 01:01:02,293 --> 01:01:03,933 Speaker 18: You know, we can go and do that face to face. 1240 01:01:04,013 --> 01:01:06,813 Speaker 18: But hey, remember there's heaps of kids in New Zealand 1241 01:01:06,853 --> 01:01:09,373 Speaker 18: that live a long way from a center. You don't 1242 01:01:09,413 --> 01:01:11,053 Speaker 18: have to go too far in the South Island here 1243 01:01:11,133 --> 01:01:13,293 Speaker 18: to find kids that have to travel a long way 1244 01:01:13,373 --> 01:01:16,013 Speaker 18: to go to school or that have correspondent to school. 1245 01:01:16,533 --> 01:01:18,413 Speaker 18: So it is a real issue for a lot of families. 1246 01:01:18,453 --> 01:01:21,333 Speaker 18: And so that technology does fill a really important void. 1247 01:01:21,733 --> 01:01:25,133 Speaker 18: But you know, honestly, if if you're you know, if 1248 01:01:25,213 --> 01:01:27,093 Speaker 18: that's something that you're worried about, then I would be 1249 01:01:27,213 --> 01:01:28,893 Speaker 18: encouraging your kids to get out there and do it 1250 01:01:28,933 --> 01:01:31,013 Speaker 18: face to face.

Stop talking like you're qualified is not the 1336 01:05:44,773 --> 01:05:46,973 Speaker 2: same as stop talking saying things like forced kids to 1337 01:05:47,013 --> 01:05:49,373 Speaker 2: go to school is not okay, fair enough, No, because 1338 01:05:49,413 --> 01:05:53,813 Speaker 2: what would your qualification be to talk about kids and 1339 01:05:53,973 --> 01:05:57,213 Speaker 2: humanity in society. Isn't a good qualification being part of it, 1340 01:05:57,973 --> 01:06:00,733 Speaker 2: being part of society, having been a child, being. 1341 01:06:00,613 --> 01:06:02,413 Speaker 3: A parent, going through observing things. 1342 01:06:03,013 --> 01:06:05,813 Speaker 2: So what qualification do you need to discuss this kind 1343 01:06:05,853 --> 01:06:07,973 Speaker 2: of stuff. I think I've got a pretty good qualification 1344 01:06:08,093 --> 01:06:09,253 Speaker 2: to talk about it. 1345 01:06:10,213 --> 01:06:13,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, And please, dear Texture, we'd love to 1346 01:06:13,773 --> 01:06:15,853 Speaker 3: hear from you on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 1347 01:06:16,093 --> 01:06:17,853 Speaker 3: and keen on your qualifications as well. 1348 01:06:17,933 --> 01:06:19,893 Speaker 2: And also it is okay to say that you think 1349 01:06:19,933 --> 01:06:22,013 Speaker 2: that children should go to school. A lot of very 1350 01:06:22,093 --> 01:06:24,533 Speaker 2: qualified people that have done a lot of investigation to 1351 01:06:24,613 --> 01:06:28,253 Speaker 2: it have said that anxiety grows when people hide from 1352 01:06:28,293 --> 01:06:30,293 Speaker 2: the thing they're scared of. Yeah, so if a child 1353 01:06:30,373 --> 01:06:31,933 Speaker 2: says they don't want to go to school because they're 1354 01:06:31,933 --> 01:06:34,093 Speaker 2: too anxious to go to school, and you allow them 1355 01:06:34,133 --> 01:06:37,493 Speaker 2: to stay at home, that doesn't solve the anxiety problem. 1356 01:06:37,613 --> 01:06:40,613 Speaker 2: It makes the anxiety grow. And so at some point 1357 01:06:40,653 --> 01:06:42,573 Speaker 2: they have to go out into the world. And that's 1358 01:06:42,613 --> 01:06:45,653 Speaker 2: a lot of why schools exist is because you have 1359 01:06:45,813 --> 01:06:47,373 Speaker 2: to go out into the world, and this is a 1360 01:06:47,453 --> 01:06:49,813 Speaker 2: way of teaching you how the world works. Go to 1361 01:06:49,853 --> 01:06:52,053 Speaker 2: a school, you learn some stuff and you learn how 1362 01:06:52,093 --> 01:06:53,413 Speaker 2: to deal with other people. 1363 01:06:53,613 --> 01:06:55,653 Speaker 3: And how do you become highly qualified if you don't 1364 01:06:55,733 --> 01:06:58,333 Speaker 3: go into some sort of educational learning. You know, those 1365 01:06:58,373 --> 01:07:00,533 Speaker 3: people are highly qualified. They had to go to school 1366 01:07:00,573 --> 01:07:03,773 Speaker 3: at some stage.

But just to push it 1381 01:07:47,013 --> 01:07:53,453 Speaker 14: back to the home and isolate our upcoming entrepreneurs and 1382 01:07:54,453 --> 01:07:57,293 Speaker 14: clever people who think outside the box, because that's what 1383 01:07:57,373 --> 01:08:00,933 Speaker 14: a lot of these ones will be. We can't afford 1384 01:08:00,973 --> 01:08:03,133 Speaker 14: to do that, because it's got to be contextualized in 1385 01:08:03,213 --> 01:08:08,613 Speaker 14: a learning environment that that develops the whole person, just 1386 01:08:09,173 --> 01:08:12,413 Speaker 14: the intellectual side or just one one aspect of education. 1387 01:08:12,573 --> 01:08:16,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I get where you're coming from, Mike. 1388 01:08:16,973 --> 01:08:20,612 Speaker 3: I mean, do you think that a lot of the 1389 01:08:20,733 --> 01:08:23,213 Speaker 3: teacher only days and the idea of having more online 1390 01:08:23,372 --> 01:08:26,652 Speaker 3: learning is more to do with the teachers themselves maybe 1391 01:08:26,732 --> 01:08:29,133 Speaker 3: having a pretty tough time or maybe been a little 1392 01:08:29,133 --> 01:08:31,013 Speaker 3: bit more anxious than the kids with the state of 1393 01:08:31,652 --> 01:08:32,852 Speaker 3: what they're seen in the classroom. 1394 01:08:34,093 --> 01:08:34,293 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1395 01:08:35,173 --> 01:08:37,452 Speaker 14: You know, it has been in the back of my 1396 01:08:37,612 --> 01:08:43,532 Speaker 14: mind wondering about how long we've had high truancy, how 1397 01:08:43,652 --> 01:08:51,893 Speaker 14: long has anxiety been a a thing in schools amongst you, 1398 01:08:52,253 --> 01:09:00,852 Speaker 14: amongst students, and the transfer to adults to teachers. They've 1399 01:09:01,213 --> 01:09:03,892 Speaker 14: like the last generation has struggled, But maybe we've got 1400 01:09:03,893 --> 01:09:06,813 Speaker 14: a generation that have come up through school without anxiety. 1401 01:09:06,853 --> 01:09:10,213 Speaker 14: Are now those are have got educated and got jobs 1402 01:09:10,293 --> 01:09:13,452 Speaker 14: being teachers. In that that there's a wee bit of 1403 01:09:14,173 --> 01:09:16,893 Speaker 14: anxiety there and it's a bit of a clash of 1404 01:09:16,933 --> 01:09:24,293 Speaker 14: the cod's a wee bit of conflict averse difficulties there. 1405 01:09:24,732 --> 01:09:28,253 Speaker 14: And so you know, they'll go to Australia or where 1406 01:09:28,293 --> 01:09:30,812 Speaker 14: they deem the grass is greener and it's going to 1407 01:09:30,853 --> 01:09:36,173 Speaker 14: be less difficult for them. But anyway, I just wonder 1408 01:09:36,173 --> 01:09:41,693 Speaker 14: if some question marks around the crossover between the anxiety 1409 01:09:41,732 --> 01:09:46,172 Speaker 14: amongst school students going up through university and becoming teachers 1410 01:09:46,293 --> 01:09:48,612 Speaker 14: and they are still carrying those problems and never been 1411 01:09:48,692 --> 01:09:52,253 Speaker 14: dealt with, never been really addressed, and now we're going 1412 01:09:52,333 --> 01:09:53,092 Speaker 14: to clash of the codes. 1413 01:09:53,612 --> 01:09:55,852 Speaker 3: Yeah maybe, Yeah, it's a good point, Mike. I mean 1414 01:09:56,053 --> 01:09:58,093 Speaker 3: having thank you very much of your phone call. Having 1415 01:09:58,133 --> 01:10:02,052 Speaker 3: some teachers within our family, and some of those teachers 1416 01:10:02,133 --> 01:10:05,133 Speaker 3: went over to the UK to one have a bit 1417 01:10:05,173 --> 01:10:07,093 Speaker 3: of experience over at the UK and Europe and do 1418 01:10:07,253 --> 01:10:10,372 Speaker 3: teaching there, and every single one of them found it 1419 01:10:10,532 --> 01:10:13,253 Speaker 3: incredibly difficult, way more difficult in New Zealand in terms 1420 01:10:13,293 --> 01:10:16,372 Speaker 3: of the problems that children were having there, the resources 1421 01:10:16,412 --> 01:10:18,173 Speaker 3: that they had to deal with. They felt like they 1422 01:10:18,213 --> 01:10:20,093 Speaker 3: were banging their heads against the brick wall in the UK. 1423 01:10:20,372 --> 01:10:21,852 Speaker 3: Very very difficult teaching there. 1424 01:10:22,093 --> 01:10:24,253 Speaker 2: God it looks like it when you see UK kids 1425 01:10:24,293 --> 01:10:28,012 Speaker 2: around the streets. Yeah all the shops have one child 1426 01:10:28,053 --> 01:10:30,173 Speaker 2: at a time, yeah, one school time in time. 1427 01:10:30,973 --> 01:10:32,892 Speaker 3: But now they're off to Australia and granted they're going 1428 01:10:32,933 --> 01:10:35,133 Speaker 3: to get paid more, but I do worry they'll find 1429 01:10:35,253 --> 01:10:37,772 Speaker 3: similar issues in Australia or anywhere else in the world. 1430 01:10:37,812 --> 01:10:39,732 Speaker 3: That is just the state of teaching at the moment, 1431 01:10:39,853 --> 01:10:42,052 Speaker 3: is it. I think there are a lot more challenges 1432 01:10:42,093 --> 01:10:43,612 Speaker 3: than they used to be. It's just to me a 1433 01:10:43,692 --> 01:10:44,333 Speaker 3: fact of teaching. 1434 01:10:44,372 --> 01:10:46,133 Speaker 2: Well, so many other people seem to be able to 1435 01:10:46,173 --> 01:10:49,132 Speaker 2: work from home now, teachers aren't in that position except 1436 01:10:49,173 --> 01:10:53,772 Speaker 2: for on Friday Westlake situation. But I wonder about like 1437 01:10:53,853 --> 01:10:55,732 Speaker 2: we're talking about anxiety and getting a lot of pushback 1438 01:10:55,772 --> 01:10:57,652 Speaker 2: on this, but I truly believe this is true. But 1439 01:10:57,772 --> 01:10:59,532 Speaker 2: if you have worked from home, So if you work 1440 01:10:59,572 --> 01:11:01,772 Speaker 2: from home and you go into work one day a week, 1441 01:11:02,652 --> 01:11:04,812 Speaker 2: the anxiety of going into work is very different than 1442 01:11:04,812 --> 01:11:07,133 Speaker 2: if you go in every day, because you're hiding from 1443 01:11:07,213 --> 01:11:09,812 Speaker 2: certain things and running into people could be quite quite weird. 1444 01:11:10,253 --> 01:11:10,412 Speaker 12: You know. 1445 01:11:10,853 --> 01:11:14,732 Speaker 2: I remember when during COVID I was working by myself 1446 01:11:14,772 --> 01:11:17,173 Speaker 2: for a lot of it with a small team, and 1447 01:11:17,213 --> 01:11:19,372 Speaker 2: then when other people came it was so weird. Yeah, 1448 01:11:19,612 --> 01:11:21,333 Speaker 2: I had to I had to learn how to deal 1449 01:11:21,452 --> 01:11:23,412 Speaker 2: with other human beings again because I hadn't seen them 1450 01:11:23,452 --> 01:11:24,812 Speaker 2: for a long time, and a lot of people experienced 1451 01:11:24,853 --> 01:11:27,173 Speaker 2: that situation. Yeah, it's not good. No, you want to 1452 01:11:27,213 --> 01:11:29,812 Speaker 2: do everything you can to be around people if you can. 1453 01:11:29,933 --> 01:11:31,652 Speaker 3: You're right. I had the exact same thing because I 1454 01:11:31,732 --> 01:11:34,372 Speaker 3: was working out of the office because we were in broadcasting, 1455 01:11:34,612 --> 01:11:36,253 Speaker 3: and when the rest of the office came back, I 1456 01:11:36,333 --> 01:11:38,333 Speaker 3: was terrified. I hid in a beech studio just for 1457 01:11:38,372 --> 01:11:41,213 Speaker 3: a couple of days to reclimatize to meeting and seeing 1458 01:11:41,213 --> 01:11:41,732 Speaker 3: people again. 1459 01:11:41,933 --> 01:11:43,812 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hadn't smelt a lady for a long time. 1460 01:11:44,253 --> 01:11:46,972 Speaker 2: Lady walked in with a lovely scented lady, there would 1461 01:11:46,973 --> 01:11:50,093 Speaker 2: have been nice, but terrified smelter a mile away. I 1462 01:11:50,213 --> 01:11:52,053 Speaker 2: used to have anxiety before going out, but then I 1463 01:11:52,133 --> 01:11:54,612 Speaker 2: realized in my own, in my own brain, that I 1464 01:11:54,732 --> 01:11:56,772 Speaker 2: needed to make myself go out otherwise I had just 1465 01:11:56,853 --> 01:11:59,852 Speaker 2: become a hermit, which I was well on the way 1466 01:11:59,893 --> 01:12:02,053 Speaker 2: to doing. Yeah, that's that's that's an example of it. 1467 01:12:02,133 --> 01:12:04,333 Speaker 2: You know, you know, you choose not to go out 1468 01:12:04,333 --> 01:12:06,812 Speaker 2: to that social occasion because you feel anxiety, and then 1469 01:12:06,853 --> 01:12:08,412 Speaker 2: you find it even harder to go out to the 1470 01:12:08,452 --> 01:12:09,812 Speaker 2: next one, and the next one and the next one. 1471 01:12:09,853 --> 01:12:12,453 Speaker 2: You've just got to force yourself into these social situations. 1472 01:12:12,532 --> 01:12:14,372 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. So the 1473 01:12:14,452 --> 01:12:15,852 Speaker 3: number to call, it's quarter to three. 1474 01:12:17,133 --> 01:12:20,892 Speaker 1: It's been fantastic your new home of afternoon Talk Matt 1475 01:12:21,093 --> 01:12:24,812 Speaker 1: and Taylor Afternoons with the Volvo XC ninety turn every 1476 01:12:24,893 --> 01:12:29,053 Speaker 1: journey into something special Call eight hundred News Talk. 1477 01:12:29,133 --> 01:12:31,213 Speaker 3: Said, be that was a stitch up, wasn't it? I pointed, 1478 01:12:31,973 --> 01:12:33,093 Speaker 3: gore Go is it? 1479 01:12:33,133 --> 01:12:35,852 Speaker 2: Pointed me? Start talking, and then bone bone. I was 1480 01:12:35,893 --> 01:12:37,973 Speaker 2: talking over a sting as we call it in the 1481 01:12:38,013 --> 01:12:41,772 Speaker 2: business or imaging or something. I forget what the word is. Anyway, 1482 01:12:41,933 --> 01:12:46,452 Speaker 2: as I was saying before, I was rudely interrupted that 1483 01:12:47,293 --> 01:12:49,093 Speaker 2: this has been a very interesting discussion. Is it's been 1484 01:12:49,372 --> 01:12:53,053 Speaker 2: floating everywhere, and this text here, I think is interesting. 1485 01:12:53,612 --> 01:12:58,253 Speaker 2: As a kid and a teen with social phobia, being 1486 01:12:58,293 --> 01:13:00,572 Speaker 2: forced to be around people was very important. I didn't 1487 01:13:00,612 --> 01:13:04,532 Speaker 2: find therapy help until adulthood. But if I hadn't had 1488 01:13:04,572 --> 01:13:06,612 Speaker 2: been forced to go to school, I'd be so much 1489 01:13:06,652 --> 01:13:11,372 Speaker 2: worse than where I am now. It's called exposure therapy. Yes, interesting, 1490 01:13:11,692 --> 01:13:15,012 Speaker 2: all right, Matt. Your thoughts you're an educator an online 1491 01:13:15,093 --> 01:13:15,732 Speaker 2: educator are. 1492 01:13:17,293 --> 01:13:17,492 Speaker 18: Yeah? 1493 01:13:17,492 --> 01:13:20,132 Speaker 17: I do a bit of both. I do in person online, 1494 01:13:20,213 --> 01:13:25,052 Speaker 17: I've worked in I like more trade based, but from experience, 1495 01:13:25,053 --> 01:13:27,412 Speaker 17: I've got three kids to start with. They're all finished 1496 01:13:27,412 --> 01:13:31,652 Speaker 17: school grown up. They all did a blended learning growing up, 1497 01:13:31,772 --> 01:13:34,333 Speaker 17: which and that was only by default. They went to 1498 01:13:34,412 --> 01:13:37,372 Speaker 17: school and then we moved North Canterbury, so they were 1499 01:13:37,412 --> 01:13:40,452 Speaker 17: quite away from the school and there was either a 1500 01:13:40,532 --> 01:13:45,093 Speaker 17: long school bus ride or by a distance. Oldest one 1501 01:13:45,372 --> 01:13:48,933 Speaker 17: failed dismally and did nothing. Next next one passed amazingly 1502 01:13:49,173 --> 01:13:51,732 Speaker 17: and did brilliantly. And the third one when I got 1503 01:13:51,772 --> 01:13:56,652 Speaker 17: a job. So there we go. So yeah, online, you know, 1504 01:13:56,812 --> 01:14:00,013 Speaker 17: and I did an online course yesterday. I delivered it 1505 01:14:00,612 --> 01:14:05,173 Speaker 17: and seventeen people online, two cameras on and to to 1506 01:14:05,612 --> 01:14:09,012 Speaker 17: you know, two lots of people really engaged. It's quite 1507 01:14:09,093 --> 01:14:10,772 Speaker 17: hard to gauge. And that's that's if. 1508 01:14:10,732 --> 01:14:13,812 Speaker 2: You're well two out of seventeen are engaged, or two 1509 01:14:14,133 --> 01:14:16,333 Speaker 2: lots of people will engage to. 1510 01:14:17,013 --> 01:14:22,133 Speaker 17: Two screens out of set we're on and you get 1511 01:14:22,173 --> 01:14:24,852 Speaker 17: your feedback, you know, and the rest really you don't 1512 01:14:24,893 --> 01:14:28,053 Speaker 17: even know if they're in the room sometimes. So yeah, yeah, 1513 01:14:28,253 --> 01:14:30,932 Speaker 17: and that's that that's I find that's the hardest thing 1514 01:14:31,093 --> 01:14:31,692 Speaker 17: for online. 1515 01:14:31,853 --> 01:14:33,732 Speaker 2: What type of teaching we do? Does Were you teaching 1516 01:14:33,772 --> 01:14:34,732 Speaker 2: adults or children? 1517 01:14:35,093 --> 01:14:35,293 Speaker 12: Yeah? 1518 01:14:35,333 --> 01:14:37,532 Speaker 17: Yeah, this is this is adults. I have taught in 1519 01:14:37,692 --> 01:14:41,652 Speaker 17: schools in person and that is challenging, but it's your 1520 01:14:41,853 --> 01:14:45,532 Speaker 17: reception is way better. So yeah, in person. For me, 1521 01:14:46,572 --> 01:14:50,372 Speaker 17: I've taught apprentices over the years. That's bulk of what 1522 01:14:50,492 --> 01:14:53,333 Speaker 17: I do. And I've been taught in house. I work 1523 01:14:53,372 --> 01:14:56,013 Speaker 17: for a big manufacturer now and I run all their 1524 01:14:56,053 --> 01:14:59,333 Speaker 17: training and also run by training company. But it's yeah, 1525 01:14:59,893 --> 01:15:03,812 Speaker 17: online has its place. But I think if you were 1526 01:15:03,893 --> 01:15:06,812 Speaker 17: to send a kid and sorry to the person who 1527 01:15:06,812 --> 01:15:12,652 Speaker 17: doesn't want to call them kids that they are grunt, 1528 01:15:14,333 --> 01:15:16,213 Speaker 17: you send them a link and they've got to do 1529 01:15:16,293 --> 01:15:19,772 Speaker 17: it on their own. Yeah, your good luck, you know, 1530 01:15:19,812 --> 01:15:21,612 Speaker 17: because you just don't know who's on the end of computer. 1531 01:15:22,692 --> 01:15:25,213 Speaker 17: You know, Like I say, I had people in the room, yes, 1532 01:15:25,412 --> 01:15:30,013 Speaker 17: or on teams are they there? Who knows the screen's on? 1533 01:15:30,333 --> 01:15:32,812 Speaker 17: They've said hi, They've done a chat and that that's it. 1534 01:15:33,532 --> 01:15:36,932 Speaker 17: So online is pretty hard to gauge. I'm an ad 1535 01:15:37,532 --> 01:15:41,452 Speaker 17: in person. In person every time I just see you know, 1536 01:15:41,572 --> 01:15:43,412 Speaker 17: I had some really good reviews, like people came down 1537 01:15:43,452 --> 01:15:46,372 Speaker 17: that's amazing. Well, but I can say that at the 1538 01:15:46,452 --> 01:15:48,372 Speaker 17: end of three hours because I've just sat in an 1539 01:15:48,412 --> 01:15:51,692 Speaker 17: office over But you know, for kids, I just think, no, 1540 01:15:51,933 --> 01:15:54,852 Speaker 17: get them in the classroom. But I've also had friends 1541 01:15:54,893 --> 01:15:57,893 Speaker 17: who have done the whole homeschool and you know, of 1542 01:15:58,133 --> 01:16:00,572 Speaker 17: a couple of kids. One of them is amazing, runs 1543 01:16:00,652 --> 01:16:03,213 Speaker 17: their own business. The other one is that you know, 1544 01:16:03,893 --> 01:16:04,852 Speaker 17: can't come out of the house. 1545 01:16:04,893 --> 01:16:08,053 Speaker 3: It's just you know, so who knows what it's interesting here? 1546 01:16:08,333 --> 01:16:11,133 Speaker 2: Interesting hearing from your perspective, from from a teaching perspective, 1547 01:16:11,213 --> 01:16:14,892 Speaker 2: from you know, doing these courses, and that you don't 1548 01:16:14,933 --> 01:16:17,612 Speaker 2: get the reaction back from the people. So I've talked 1549 01:16:17,612 --> 01:16:19,852 Speaker 2: to lecturers, and I've got lecturers in my family and 1550 01:16:20,412 --> 01:16:22,932 Speaker 2: and a lot of what they do is they gauge 1551 01:16:23,053 --> 01:16:26,133 Speaker 2: what's happening. They gauge how, what's what's what's what? 1552 01:16:26,333 --> 01:16:26,892 Speaker 10: Feel the room? 1553 01:16:27,053 --> 01:16:28,452 Speaker 2: Yeah, you feel the room. It's like a stand up 1554 01:16:28,452 --> 01:16:30,972 Speaker 2: committee and you can see what if people aren't laughing, 1555 01:16:31,013 --> 01:16:33,093 Speaker 2: it means you're not funny. But you know, if you're 1556 01:16:33,133 --> 01:16:34,852 Speaker 2: looking around a room, you can see people's eyes. You 1557 01:16:34,893 --> 01:16:38,012 Speaker 2: can see whether you're engaging, whether it's where the contents 1558 01:16:38,053 --> 01:16:39,293 Speaker 2: going in or not not going in. 1559 01:16:39,612 --> 01:16:41,013 Speaker 10: That's that you know. 1560 01:16:41,213 --> 01:16:41,452 Speaker 12: I do. 1561 01:16:41,893 --> 01:16:46,452 Speaker 17: I've taught apprenticeship mostly for the last fifteen odd years. 1562 01:16:46,572 --> 01:16:48,572 Speaker 17: And when you're in a room with you know, and 1563 01:16:48,853 --> 01:16:53,572 Speaker 17: their butchers, so you know, good good chat good and 1564 01:16:54,093 --> 01:16:56,253 Speaker 17: you can call them out though, but but to be fair, 1565 01:16:56,372 --> 01:16:58,053 Speaker 17: you get you know, you get them going and you 1566 01:16:58,173 --> 01:17:00,293 Speaker 17: get talking, you can really really feel that they're in 1567 01:17:00,612 --> 01:17:02,892 Speaker 17: you know, I'll be I'll be open. That was when 1568 01:17:02,973 --> 01:17:05,132 Speaker 17: I did a couple of things at school was Christiss 1569 01:17:05,173 --> 01:17:08,812 Speaker 17: Boys High and you know you got all these I've 1570 01:17:08,853 --> 01:17:11,692 Speaker 17: got Rugby scholarships. But no, great, Yeah, I loved it, 1571 01:17:12,452 --> 01:17:17,013 Speaker 17: you know, so yeah, in person, I just cannot beat it. 1572 01:17:17,093 --> 01:17:20,412 Speaker 17: And I've tried of my current sort of contracted employer 1573 01:17:20,492 --> 01:17:22,372 Speaker 17: that I'm working with at the moment to do this 1574 01:17:22,572 --> 01:17:25,213 Speaker 17: online thing and just it falls flat every time. 1575 01:17:25,452 --> 01:17:28,372 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Matt, great to have you on. Thank you very much. 1576 01:17:28,572 --> 01:17:31,013 Speaker 3: It is seven minutes to three bag very shortly year 1577 01:17:31,213 --> 01:17:32,253 Speaker 3: on news talks heb. 1578 01:17:33,692 --> 01:17:36,053 Speaker 5: The issues that affect you and a bit of fun 1579 01:17:36,133 --> 01:17:36,732 Speaker 5: along the way. 1580 01:17:36,973 --> 01:17:40,892 Speaker 1: Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo XC, Naty Innovation 1581 01:17:41,133 --> 01:17:42,812 Speaker 1: Style and de save have it all. 1582 01:17:43,053 --> 01:17:44,053 Speaker 5: News talks be. 1583 01:17:46,173 --> 01:17:48,692 Speaker 3: News talks. He'd be right, good discussion. We're going to 1584 01:17:48,812 --> 01:17:50,812 Speaker 3: change it up after three o'clock. But I think it's 1585 01:17:50,893 --> 01:17:54,093 Speaker 3: fair to say most people have agreed that online learning 1586 01:17:54,173 --> 01:17:56,372 Speaker 3: has just gone a little bit too far, and to 1587 01:17:56,492 --> 01:18:00,613 Speaker 3: the text is saying, you're appalled that we're downplay anxiety. 1588 01:18:00,692 --> 01:18:01,973 Speaker 3: That's not what we've done at all. 1589 01:18:02,133 --> 01:18:03,412 Speaker 2: As I said, said, I'm a poor that matt and 1590 01:18:03,412 --> 01:18:05,852 Speaker 2: Tyler have no idea about what worry is an anxiety. 1591 01:18:05,933 --> 01:18:07,932 Speaker 2: Telling people that their children should toughen up and get 1592 01:18:07,973 --> 01:18:11,372 Speaker 2: to school is ridiculous for those with true anxiety as 1593 01:18:11,412 --> 01:18:15,133 Speaker 2: it should be classified. Bring back. I won't read that, 1594 01:18:15,532 --> 01:18:19,412 Speaker 2: but no, I disagree. Hiding away leads to more hiding away, 1595 01:18:19,612 --> 01:18:22,973 Speaker 2: and more hiding away leads to depression. So you've got 1596 01:18:23,053 --> 01:18:25,093 Speaker 2: to get people out. You've got to get out and socialize. 1597 01:18:25,173 --> 01:18:26,532 Speaker 2: Do everything you can to do it if you can. 1598 01:18:26,732 --> 01:18:28,772 Speaker 3: Yep, good for them.

You know Brent Mackenzie yep, who from 1613 01:19:21,333 --> 01:19:24,213 Speaker 2: Flight of the Concords, talented guy.

But oh wow, 1618 01:19:36,372 --> 01:19:38,492 Speaker 2: that was in twenty twenty two, that album came out. 1619 01:19:38,572 --> 01:19:41,213 Speaker 2: It's a really really great album. But he's a really 1620 01:19:41,253 --> 01:19:44,732 Speaker 2: good songwriter and a really funny guy. But he's just 1621 01:19:44,933 --> 01:19:46,572 Speaker 2: started a thing where he's going to write a song 1622 01:19:46,812 --> 01:19:50,692 Speaker 2: every week for twenty twenty five and post it online. 1623 01:19:50,973 --> 01:19:53,133 Speaker 2: Love it and I would play his first song. It's 1624 01:19:53,133 --> 01:19:56,012 Speaker 2: a beautiful piano piece. But it starts off pretty quickly, 1625 01:19:56,173 --> 01:19:59,652 Speaker 2: hits an F word, but in a beautiful way. But yeah, 1626 01:20:00,053 --> 01:20:00,893 Speaker 2: I'm excited about this. 1627 01:20:01,053 --> 01:20:02,572 Speaker 3: You have sold it to me. What's the name?

He's 1630 01:20:07,053 --> 01:20:11,333 Speaker 2: just playing a song. Yeah, and but but his Instagram 1631 01:20:11,772 --> 01:20:18,333 Speaker 2: is retrospective like b R E t R perspective. 1632 01:20:18,532 --> 01:20:19,492 Speaker 3: Yeah, and here he is. 1633 01:20:21,093 --> 01:20:21,492 Speaker 4: Last year. 1634 01:20:21,652 --> 01:20:23,572 Speaker 2: But anyway, yeah, so there you go. 1635 01:20:25,372 --> 01:20:25,492 Speaker 19: Out. 1636 01:20:25,532 --> 01:20:27,253 Speaker 2: I'm to change away from that now because it does 1637 01:20:27,492 --> 01:20:30,333 Speaker 2: and we can't be sharing the E word on news. 1638 01:20:30,893 --> 01:20:34,652 Speaker 3: Certainly not know, we've got standards to follow and we're professional. 1639 01:20:34,692 --> 01:20:35,293 Speaker 3: If anything else. 1640 01:20:35,372 --> 01:20:38,132 Speaker 2: What a cool guy that guy is. Branda Kenzie so talented. 1641 01:20:38,253 --> 01:20:41,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, right onto this discussion. So as many of you 1642 01:20:41,093 --> 01:20:43,333 Speaker 3: would have seen, it was time to say see you 1643 01:20:43,492 --> 01:20:47,772 Speaker 3: later to our Air Forces. C one thirty h Hercules fleet. 1644 01:20:47,853 --> 01:20:51,093 Speaker 3: It has been retired from service and de commissioned. 1645 01:20:51,293 --> 01:20:52,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've done so much stuff. We've had them for 1646 01:20:53,173 --> 01:20:57,172 Speaker 2: sixty years. These planes one hundred thousand takeoffs and landings. 1647 01:20:57,532 --> 01:20:59,692 Speaker 2: I was going to say, one hundred thousand takeoffs. You 1648 01:20:59,772 --> 01:21:02,412 Speaker 2: want to have a landing after that takeoff? Well, I 1649 01:21:02,452 --> 01:21:04,293 Speaker 2: guess you're always going to have some sort of landing 1650 01:21:04,333 --> 01:21:06,492 Speaker 2: once you take off. What you want to say landing? 1651 01:21:06,772 --> 01:21:10,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, is that one hundred thousand takeoff in ninety and 1652 01:21:10,372 --> 01:21:11,213 Speaker 3: ninety nine landings? 1653 01:21:11,572 --> 01:21:15,572 Speaker 2: There's one still up there. Fantastic aircraft that have been 1654 01:21:15,893 --> 01:21:18,692 Speaker 2: so useful for New Zealand across so many things that 1655 01:21:18,772 --> 01:21:23,172 Speaker 2: we've done. They've dropped bulldozers to the remote Pitkin Islands 1656 01:21:23,213 --> 01:21:27,612 Speaker 2: in the Pacific, They've moved crocodiles and elephants to wildlife reserves. 1657 01:21:28,412 --> 01:21:31,892 Speaker 2: They've dealt with an unhappy pig in Boganville. But they've 1658 01:21:31,893 --> 01:21:37,732 Speaker 2: also done so much reconnoinment since and rescues for us. 1659 01:21:37,853 --> 01:21:39,932 Speaker 2: They've done so much. They've been real workhorses for us. 1660 01:21:40,053 --> 01:21:41,852 Speaker 3: Yeah, there is I want to hear more about the 1661 01:21:41,973 --> 01:21:43,452 Speaker 3: unhappy pig in Boganville. 1662 01:21:43,612 --> 01:21:45,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, I need more information about that. I just know 1663 01:21:46,053 --> 01:21:47,253 Speaker 2: that they help with an unhappy pig. 1664 01:21:47,412 --> 01:21:47,572 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1665 01:21:47,612 --> 01:21:49,933 Speaker 3: But sixty years in the year, which is phenomenal. And 1666 01:21:50,133 --> 01:21:53,932 Speaker 3: now there are the new version of the Hercules coming 1667 01:21:54,093 --> 01:21:55,612 Speaker 3: into the fleet very soon. 1668 01:21:55,772 --> 01:21:56,372 Speaker 4: Is that correct? 1669 01:21:56,732 --> 01:21:58,052 Speaker 3: Yeah, they are getting upgraded. 1670 01:21:58,173 --> 01:21:59,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, well they've already got I think the last of 1671 01:21:59,973 --> 01:22:03,213 Speaker 2: the five replacements have come. And I've actually been on 1672 01:22:03,333 --> 01:22:07,053 Speaker 2: the one of the upgrades, the C one thirty J 1673 01:22:07,293 --> 01:22:11,893 Speaker 2: thirty Hercules, very very flash the new ones, and it 1674 01:22:12,013 --> 01:22:13,772 Speaker 2: means that they have two less crew on them because 1675 01:22:13,812 --> 01:22:16,173 Speaker 2: so much more is automated and there's so much less 1676 01:22:16,293 --> 01:22:19,772 Speaker 2: working parts, so there's a lot less repairs that need 1677 01:22:19,853 --> 01:22:22,253 Speaker 2: to be done. But their high tech planes I was 1678 01:22:22,293 --> 01:22:24,412 Speaker 2: playing with some of the features on the plane. That 1679 01:22:24,492 --> 01:22:25,053 Speaker 2: was pretty cool. 1680 01:22:25,213 --> 01:22:26,652 Speaker 3: Was that the photo that you sent us when you 1681 01:22:26,692 --> 01:22:28,093 Speaker 3: were down and was that a hockey or a. 1682 01:22:28,612 --> 01:22:31,612 Speaker 2: Yeah, well there was a fanuapai that I was in 1683 01:22:31,692 --> 01:22:33,452 Speaker 2: the cockpit of that plane. I wonder if I was 1684 01:22:33,452 --> 01:22:33,973 Speaker 2: allowed to be in. 1685 01:22:34,333 --> 01:22:37,133 Speaker 3: You you locked happy and the candy. 1686 01:22:37,253 --> 01:22:39,972 Speaker 2: It's so cool climbing up into the cockpit because it's higher. 1687 01:22:39,973 --> 01:22:41,492 Speaker 2: But you know, you know what the Hercules is like. 1688 01:22:41,572 --> 01:22:43,333 Speaker 2: It's got the big cargo hold at the back, and 1689 01:22:43,732 --> 01:22:46,333 Speaker 2: you've seen it involved in so many things over the years. 1690 01:22:46,372 --> 01:22:49,852 Speaker 2: And of course the Hercules planes, you know, workhorses for 1691 01:22:50,053 --> 01:22:52,852 Speaker 2: militaries all around the world. You know that the US 1692 01:22:52,933 --> 01:22:54,812 Speaker 2: has a whole divisions of Hercules, and a lot of 1693 01:22:54,853 --> 01:22:56,812 Speaker 2: our pilots go over and work with the US on 1694 01:22:56,812 --> 01:22:59,972 Speaker 2: their various things they do. So they're very very cool planes, 1695 01:23:00,093 --> 01:23:03,372 Speaker 2: and they're being replaced with even cooler new planes. Although 1696 01:23:03,372 --> 01:23:05,213 Speaker 2: I was talking to some of the pilots and they're 1697 01:23:05,213 --> 01:23:07,133 Speaker 2: saying they're going to miss these planes. It's cool stuff 1698 01:23:07,133 --> 01:23:09,612 Speaker 2: about them, and having their having the larger crew on 1699 01:23:09,692 --> 01:23:11,692 Speaker 2: there was slightly more fun. 1700 01:23:11,933 --> 01:23:14,932 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was certainly a well loved aircraft. 1701 01:23:15,013 --> 01:23:15,253 Speaker 14: Doing that. 1702 01:23:15,412 --> 01:23:17,492 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and you could cook food on them and stuff. 1703 01:23:17,812 --> 01:23:18,892 Speaker 3: Did they have a kitchen on board? 1704 01:23:19,093 --> 01:23:21,612 Speaker 2: Well, they sort of do a makeshift cooking when they 1705 01:23:21,612 --> 01:23:23,732 Speaker 2: went long trips down to the Attacta and stuff. You 1706 01:23:23,812 --> 01:23:25,412 Speaker 2: sort of get a check and going something like that. 1707 01:23:26,532 --> 01:23:28,372 Speaker 2: But anyway, the cool planes. But the question we want 1708 01:23:28,412 --> 01:23:30,333 Speaker 2: to ask is what do you think about the state 1709 01:23:30,412 --> 01:23:33,452 Speaker 2: of our air force? Because hercules, well they have some 1710 01:23:34,013 --> 01:23:37,692 Speaker 2: combat capabilities. You would say that we don't really have 1711 01:23:38,333 --> 01:23:41,932 Speaker 2: an aerial defense force in New Zealand and we are 1712 01:23:41,933 --> 01:23:44,173 Speaker 2: in a pretty weird and scary world at the moment. 1713 01:23:44,572 --> 01:23:45,973 Speaker 2: Do you think we need that? Of course we got 1714 01:23:46,053 --> 01:23:49,012 Speaker 2: rid of the skyhawks, didn't we And you know, people 1715 01:23:49,213 --> 01:23:54,213 Speaker 2: argued they went practical. But could we spend money in 1716 01:23:54,293 --> 01:23:56,253 Speaker 2: such a way that we would be a country that 1717 01:23:56,372 --> 01:23:58,933 Speaker 2: could defend itself from the air or is that just 1718 01:23:59,093 --> 01:24:01,932 Speaker 2: a pie in the sky thing. It's not even possible, 1719 01:24:02,253 --> 01:24:04,573 Speaker 2: and we just need to doubly suck up to Australia 1720 01:24:04,692 --> 01:24:07,013 Speaker 2: and the US so they come after us that come 1721 01:24:07,053 --> 01:24:08,133 Speaker 2: and help us if there's a problem. 1722 01:24:08,412 --> 01:24:10,452 Speaker 3: Personally, I'd like to see more investment in the air force, 1723 01:24:10,853 --> 01:24:13,213 Speaker 3: our air force personnel to do a fantastic job. But 1724 01:24:13,253 --> 01:24:16,372 Speaker 3: you're right. When they mothboard the Skyhawks, there was a 1725 01:24:16,412 --> 01:24:18,213 Speaker 3: lot of sadness around the country and a lot of 1726 01:24:18,293 --> 01:24:20,372 Speaker 3: jokes for that matter, saying well, that is the end 1727 01:24:20,412 --> 01:24:22,093 Speaker 3: of our air force. What's the point of our air force? 1728 01:24:22,173 --> 01:24:23,892 Speaker 3: We do know that the air force does a lot 1729 01:24:23,933 --> 01:24:26,612 Speaker 3: of important work and very valuable work. But when it 1730 01:24:26,772 --> 01:24:30,813 Speaker 3: comes to actually being a defense force and having aircraft 1731 01:24:31,133 --> 01:24:34,612 Speaker 3: that can operate if things do get a bit hairy, 1732 01:24:34,732 --> 01:24:36,812 Speaker 3: I think that is important for a place like New Zealand. 1733 01:24:37,213 --> 01:24:39,253 Speaker 3: We tend that we have that with our army. We 1734 01:24:39,412 --> 01:24:43,612 Speaker 3: have that to some extent with our Navy, and I 1735 01:24:43,692 --> 01:24:45,452 Speaker 3: think we should have that worth our air force, at 1736 01:24:45,532 --> 01:24:46,812 Speaker 3: least to a limited degree. 1737 01:24:46,933 --> 01:24:49,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got some pretty cool helicopters. We've got some 1738 01:24:49,933 --> 01:24:50,852 Speaker 2: pretty cool helicopters. 1739 01:24:51,093 --> 01:24:53,772 Speaker 3: Aroquois are Are they Aroquois helicopters? They are, aren't they? 1740 01:24:53,853 --> 01:24:56,492 Speaker 2: We've got the NH ninety helicopters, Oh yes, yep. And 1741 01:24:56,572 --> 01:24:59,412 Speaker 2: we've got the sea spright helicopters. But yeah, we don't 1742 01:24:59,492 --> 01:25:02,372 Speaker 2: really have a situation. We don't what do you call it, 1743 01:25:02,612 --> 01:25:06,173 Speaker 2: We don't We don't really have the ability to protect 1744 01:25:06,253 --> 01:25:10,293 Speaker 2: our airspace in any real way from any kind of 1745 01:25:11,692 --> 01:25:12,732 Speaker 2: you know, invading force. 1746 01:25:12,812 --> 01:25:16,253 Speaker 3: I guess, like a lot of young kids, I wanted 1747 01:25:16,253 --> 01:25:18,692 Speaker 3: to be a jet pilot and true story, and I 1748 01:25:18,812 --> 01:25:20,892 Speaker 3: joined the Air Corps and the air course still exists. 1749 01:25:20,973 --> 01:25:22,772 Speaker 3: Remember the Air Corps. Then they had the Navy Corps 1750 01:25:22,772 --> 01:25:24,973 Speaker 3: and the Army Corps and a lot of marching in 1751 01:25:25,013 --> 01:25:27,572 Speaker 3: the Air Corps. But when I was in the Air 1752 01:25:27,612 --> 01:25:30,053 Speaker 3: Corps at the age of twelve, thirteen fourteen, then they 1753 01:25:30,093 --> 01:25:31,173 Speaker 3: got rid of the skyhawks. 1754 01:25:31,492 --> 01:25:32,133 Speaker 1: That was it for me. 1755 01:25:32,333 --> 01:25:34,133 Speaker 3: I left the Air Corps and said, well that's my dream. 1756 01:25:34,173 --> 01:25:36,612 Speaker 3: Did true story that there were no more JITs? And 1757 01:25:36,692 --> 01:25:38,692 Speaker 3: I thought, well, that is a massive disappointment. I'm never 1758 01:25:38,692 --> 01:25:40,812 Speaker 3: going to fly a Jit in this country. So part 1759 01:25:40,893 --> 01:25:43,852 Speaker 3: of me just had that little hope alive that one 1760 01:25:43,933 --> 01:25:46,053 Speaker 3: day we would have JITs again. But I don't know 1761 01:25:46,093 --> 01:25:47,492 Speaker 3: if that's ever going to come to play. 1762 01:25:47,732 --> 01:25:51,133 Speaker 2: So if we'd had some thirty fives, oh yeah, you 1763 01:25:51,333 --> 01:25:53,732 Speaker 2: right now, you'd be blasting around as a pilot. 1764 01:25:56,013 --> 01:25:59,013 Speaker 3: Why can't we get some sixteen we had technology?

Do you think we should be 1775 01:26:18,853 --> 01:26:21,013 Speaker 3: investing a little bit more into our air force and 1776 01:26:21,253 --> 01:26:24,532 Speaker 3: have some aircraft that are combat ready? Love to hear 1777 01:26:24,572 --> 01:26:27,052 Speaker 3: from your nine two nine two is the text number. 1778 01:26:27,412 --> 01:26:29,053 Speaker 3: It is fourteen past three. 1779 01:26:31,173 --> 01:26:32,412 Speaker 5: Wo there we go. 1780 01:26:34,612 --> 01:26:38,492 Speaker 3: Beautiful, it's lovely, clearly that's that's That's not an F 1781 01:26:38,572 --> 01:26:39,213 Speaker 3: thirty five, is it? 1782 01:26:40,133 --> 01:26:44,293 Speaker 2: No, that might have been a C one thirty hercules. Yeah, beautiful, 1783 01:26:44,372 --> 01:26:46,812 Speaker 2: happy retirement to those the old hercules were allowed to too. 1784 01:26:46,853 --> 01:26:48,892 Speaker 2: That would make them cooler. You can you can buzz 1785 01:26:48,973 --> 01:26:49,532 Speaker 2: people with them. 1786 01:26:50,293 --> 01:26:54,293 Speaker 3: It has a quarter pass three. Good afternoon. We've asked 1787 01:26:54,333 --> 01:26:56,812 Speaker 3: the question, what do we want out of a air force? 1788 01:26:56,893 --> 01:27:00,013 Speaker 3: Do we want to see our government investing more and 1789 01:27:00,173 --> 01:27:02,812 Speaker 3: combat ready aircraft. It's on the back of the retirement 1790 01:27:02,893 --> 01:27:05,612 Speaker 3: of our C one thirty h hercules. I've been in 1791 01:27:05,652 --> 01:27:07,492 Speaker 3: the air for sixty years and have done a mighty 1792 01:27:07,572 --> 01:27:08,293 Speaker 3: job those aircraft. 1793 01:27:10,812 --> 01:27:13,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's no doubt that the new hercules are 1794 01:27:13,333 --> 01:27:15,692 Speaker 2: very very cool with a lot of sweet tech in them. 1795 01:27:16,333 --> 01:27:20,052 Speaker 2: But do we need more gear in the in the army, 1796 01:27:20,173 --> 01:27:21,133 Speaker 2: in the air force. 1797 01:27:22,133 --> 01:27:23,812 Speaker 3: Jacob, how are you this afternoon? 1798 01:27:24,372 --> 01:27:25,852 Speaker 19: Oh I'm very well, thank you? How about you? 1799 01:27:26,253 --> 01:27:26,412 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1800 01:27:26,452 --> 01:27:26,652 Speaker 2: Good? 1801 01:27:26,772 --> 01:27:29,052 Speaker 3: What's your take on this? Do you think it would 1802 01:27:29,093 --> 01:27:32,293 Speaker 3: be wise to look at investing in combat ready aircraft? 1803 01:27:33,372 --> 01:27:35,492 Speaker 19: Look, I'm going to say this. I've had a big 1804 01:27:35,572 --> 01:27:38,213 Speaker 19: debate about people with people about this, and I reckon 1805 01:27:38,293 --> 01:27:42,253 Speaker 19: that it might be surprising at how we use our 1806 01:27:42,293 --> 01:27:44,892 Speaker 19: air force and how modern air force has worked these days. 1807 01:27:45,492 --> 01:27:49,133 Speaker 19: Back in the days when we had Stripeforce with Skyhawks, 1808 01:27:49,452 --> 01:27:52,492 Speaker 19: wanted an awesome aircraft and we could fit in with 1809 01:27:52,572 --> 01:27:57,012 Speaker 19: the Australians and show air superiority in the South Pacific. 1810 01:27:57,173 --> 01:27:59,732 Speaker 19: But ultimately, I think what we really need to be 1811 01:27:59,812 --> 01:28:05,013 Speaker 19: doing is not investing in strikeforce capability because really it's 1812 01:28:05,173 --> 01:28:10,692 Speaker 19: really really expensive and difficult to maintain, and there are 1813 01:28:10,933 --> 01:28:13,772 Speaker 19: there are better ways in which we can support our 1814 01:28:14,492 --> 01:28:18,452 Speaker 19: our local kind of allies and what they need out 1815 01:28:18,612 --> 01:28:21,852 Speaker 19: of our logistics capability, which is what we're very good at. 1816 01:28:21,933 --> 01:28:26,333 Speaker 19: We're very good at logistics and that's how the air 1817 01:28:26,412 --> 01:28:29,732 Speaker 19: forces work when you're in a in an active war zone, 1818 01:28:29,933 --> 01:28:34,093 Speaker 19: they fly forty slots and New Zealand can just help 1819 01:28:34,173 --> 01:28:35,412 Speaker 19: out by taking slots. 1820 01:28:35,532 --> 01:28:38,372 Speaker 2: Really, so so what you're saying, So what you're saying, Jacob, 1821 01:28:38,492 --> 01:28:40,053 Speaker 2: is that you go you talk to Australia and go, 1822 01:28:40,213 --> 01:28:42,932 Speaker 2: look what do you need? What what are what are 1823 01:28:42,933 --> 01:28:46,452 Speaker 2: the gaps that that are missing and that your air 1824 01:28:46,492 --> 01:28:49,133 Speaker 2: force needs that we can we can supply that, we 1825 01:28:49,173 --> 01:28:53,213 Speaker 2: can train our people for and and and deliver that 1826 01:28:53,933 --> 01:28:57,133 Speaker 2: and just outside of the strikeforce capt capacity. 1827 01:28:57,933 --> 01:29:01,652 Speaker 19: Some simplistic you know, simply Yeah, for sure. Yeah, that's 1828 01:29:01,732 --> 01:29:04,572 Speaker 19: that's pretty much what the summary is. Is that exactly, 1829 01:29:04,652 --> 01:29:08,092 Speaker 19: that that we can we can better support our partners 1830 01:29:08,133 --> 01:29:12,892 Speaker 19: with their gaps and what strengths we're already holding. It's 1831 01:29:13,013 --> 01:29:15,933 Speaker 19: expensive to run strike force and they don't get a 1832 01:29:15,973 --> 01:29:17,932 Speaker 19: lot of use here, you know. I mean, they're pretty 1833 01:29:17,973 --> 01:29:20,372 Speaker 19: fun to look at and make great noise. 1834 01:29:20,173 --> 01:29:20,253 Speaker 16: And. 1835 01:29:22,412 --> 01:29:25,612 Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think it's we do enough? So you know, 1836 01:29:25,732 --> 01:29:27,372 Speaker 2: and I know that we we do a lot of 1837 01:29:27,412 --> 01:29:30,132 Speaker 2: work with our Hercules and we you know, our pilots 1838 01:29:30,173 --> 01:29:31,812 Speaker 2: go over and work in the Hercules divisions in the 1839 01:29:31,853 --> 01:29:35,293 Speaker 2: American Air Force and we help out. We can do 1840 01:29:35,412 --> 01:29:38,412 Speaker 2: you think that we currently do enough for our allies 1841 01:29:38,612 --> 01:29:43,932 Speaker 2: that if a need for a strikeforce came that they 1842 01:29:43,933 --> 01:29:45,532 Speaker 2: would they would they would come and help us. 1843 01:29:46,732 --> 01:29:46,932 Speaker 16: Yeah. 1844 01:29:46,973 --> 01:29:49,412 Speaker 19: Look, I think I'm going to say that we've got 1845 01:29:49,452 --> 01:29:55,972 Speaker 19: a very good reputation with our allies, and we've established 1846 01:29:56,053 --> 01:29:58,053 Speaker 19: that through the hard work and the efforts that we've 1847 01:29:58,093 --> 01:30:00,492 Speaker 19: put in, and so I would like to think that 1848 01:30:00,612 --> 01:30:02,932 Speaker 19: that would probably be on the cards, and they would 1849 01:30:03,013 --> 01:30:06,532 Speaker 19: they would understand that we don't have, you know, a 1850 01:30:06,692 --> 01:30:13,173 Speaker 19: force capability that that's going to you know, disrupt anything significantly. 1851 01:30:13,293 --> 01:30:16,213 Speaker 19: That's Yeah, that's what I think I would imagine the 1852 01:30:16,293 --> 01:30:18,812 Speaker 19: answer to that is, Yes, I think we're well regarded. 1853 01:30:19,053 --> 01:30:21,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we wouldn't be the only country, Jacob that 1854 01:30:22,452 --> 01:30:25,293 Speaker 3: clearly doesn't have the resources to be able to pump 1855 01:30:25,412 --> 01:30:28,173 Speaker 3: into you know, combat ready aircraft in this case, so 1856 01:30:28,612 --> 01:30:31,173 Speaker 3: fall back to more of a peacekeeping, an aid and 1857 01:30:31,293 --> 01:30:37,412 Speaker 3: transport capability when something big. Catham's yeah, yeah, absolutely. 1858 01:30:38,133 --> 01:30:41,333 Speaker 19: Look, you know, there are plenty of Pacific islands that 1859 01:30:41,893 --> 01:30:46,652 Speaker 19: have serious force, you know capability. FIGI is one fig 1860 01:30:46,812 --> 01:30:50,772 Speaker 19: and Army fantastic fighting force, a six foot four thousands 1861 01:30:50,812 --> 01:30:55,012 Speaker 19: of them. They go to all the time. Very very capable, 1862 01:30:55,173 --> 01:30:58,732 Speaker 19: but in the air space less though. So there are 1863 01:30:58,772 --> 01:31:02,173 Speaker 19: plenty of people in our idiot environment that don't have 1864 01:31:02,293 --> 01:31:06,413 Speaker 19: a full army, navy, air force, you know, attack capability, 1865 01:31:06,492 --> 01:31:07,893 Speaker 19: and we just happen to be one of them. And 1866 01:31:08,933 --> 01:31:11,492 Speaker 19: I reckon, you know, that's the future, is how do 1867 01:31:11,572 --> 01:31:14,772 Speaker 19: we all get along the best distribute and you know, 1868 01:31:15,133 --> 01:31:25,053 Speaker 19: maybe not even peacekeeping but just more really just yeah, yeah, 1869 01:31:25,133 --> 01:31:25,852 Speaker 19: filling the gaps. 1870 01:31:25,933 --> 01:31:29,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Jacob, I can see though from an Australian 1871 01:31:29,213 --> 01:31:32,892 Speaker 2: and an American perspective, that in nineteen eighty we've spent 1872 01:31:33,053 --> 01:31:38,253 Speaker 2: three percent of our gest GPD GDP sorry on on 1873 01:31:38,412 --> 01:31:40,692 Speaker 2: our defense and now it's all the way down to 1874 01:31:41,053 --> 01:31:43,972 Speaker 2: nearly one percent. So do you think that they might 1875 01:31:44,053 --> 01:31:46,133 Speaker 2: look at that and go, well, you know, you're helping 1876 01:31:46,213 --> 01:31:48,372 Speaker 2: us out a little bit here, you're filling in some gaps, 1877 01:31:48,532 --> 01:31:51,693 Speaker 2: you're you're you know, being friendly, and you're offering some logistics. 1878 01:31:52,173 --> 01:31:55,133 Speaker 2: But as a percentage of your GDP, are you really 1879 01:31:55,253 --> 01:31:57,572 Speaker 2: doing your bet best for security in the area. 1880 01:31:59,133 --> 01:32:02,812 Speaker 19: I wonder if that's really a thing outside of America 1881 01:32:03,492 --> 01:32:07,253 Speaker 19: where Donald Trump is sort of a huge GDP, isn't 1882 01:32:07,253 --> 01:32:10,532 Speaker 19: he He's all about the how much you're putting into 1883 01:32:10,652 --> 01:32:12,732 Speaker 19: NATO and all of that. I'm not quite sure if 1884 01:32:12,772 --> 01:32:17,733 Speaker 19: that allies really do compare what we put in financially 1885 01:32:17,933 --> 01:32:21,653 Speaker 19: to the effort that we give them logistically and practically. 1886 01:32:22,013 --> 01:32:23,093 Speaker 19: I'm not quite sure if well. 1887 01:32:23,133 --> 01:32:26,492 Speaker 2: I think Australian Australian politicians have brought it up before 1888 01:32:26,692 --> 01:32:29,732 Speaker 2: and said that they're they're carrying us in the past, 1889 01:32:29,853 --> 01:32:30,933 Speaker 2: but a sort of. 1890 01:32:30,933 --> 01:32:33,293 Speaker 19: A popularist way of angling it, isn't it to a 1891 01:32:33,372 --> 01:32:36,532 Speaker 19: small country to be like us saying to cook Islands, gee, 1892 01:32:36,572 --> 01:32:40,133 Speaker 19: you don't put much GDP into your bloody Well. 1893 01:32:40,532 --> 01:32:43,452 Speaker 2: It's a percentage though, isn't it. So it's a you know, 1894 01:32:43,492 --> 01:32:46,852 Speaker 2: if you're a nation with a smaller GDP, then you're 1895 01:32:46,853 --> 01:32:48,732 Speaker 2: going to be putting them again. So if you're sat 1896 01:32:48,853 --> 01:32:51,492 Speaker 2: like so, it's quite a lot to drop from two. 1897 01:32:52,253 --> 01:32:54,213 Speaker 2: Basically we're down to a third of what we were 1898 01:32:54,253 --> 01:32:58,772 Speaker 2: spending on our defense force just you know, in nineteen eighty. 1899 01:32:58,612 --> 01:33:02,412 Speaker 19: So you know, ago, Look, I think the other way 1900 01:33:02,492 --> 01:33:05,492 Speaker 19: that the defense force is running is really being more 1901 01:33:05,572 --> 01:33:09,852 Speaker 19: trans more transparent, more accountable financially. So what that means 1902 01:33:09,973 --> 01:33:13,572 Speaker 19: is I think fundamentally trying to do more with less, 1903 01:33:14,293 --> 01:33:18,052 Speaker 19: and that has a great benefit to the New Zealand 1904 01:33:18,093 --> 01:33:24,372 Speaker 19: taxpayer and probably doesn't look as good to the It 1905 01:33:24,452 --> 01:33:26,812 Speaker 19: actually is really good brush, So I don't see as 1906 01:33:26,853 --> 01:33:30,612 Speaker 19: having a reduction. And you know, like if we didn't 1907 01:33:30,612 --> 01:33:32,852 Speaker 19: have a strike force, is it not necessarily you know, 1908 01:33:33,053 --> 01:33:39,412 Speaker 19: a reduction in GDP percentage to where we can matter most. 1909 01:33:39,652 --> 01:33:42,133 Speaker 19: I mean, and I'm not a politician, and I'm not 1910 01:33:42,333 --> 01:33:45,852 Speaker 19: really you know, trying to make us look great. I 1911 01:33:46,013 --> 01:33:48,973 Speaker 19: just feel like there is a lot of angling on 1912 01:33:49,612 --> 01:33:54,253 Speaker 19: how we could have a really good stripe force, but 1913 01:33:54,452 --> 01:33:58,133 Speaker 19: realistically it's kind of never really got used, so it's 1914 01:33:58,492 --> 01:33:59,932 Speaker 19: very expensive to maintain. 1915 01:34:00,333 --> 01:34:02,852 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jacob, thank you very much. Some great points. So 1916 01:34:02,933 --> 01:34:05,213 Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1917 01:34:05,293 --> 01:34:08,253 Speaker 3: Nine two ninety two is the text. Do you think 1918 01:34:08,372 --> 01:34:10,372 Speaker 3: we need to put more investment into our air force? 1919 01:34:10,452 --> 01:34:12,333 Speaker 3: Love to hear from you. It is twenty four past 1920 01:34:12,372 --> 01:34:12,732 Speaker 3: three to. 1921 01:34:12,893 --> 01:34:14,492 Speaker 2: One of the coolest things we have is our NH 1922 01:34:14,612 --> 01:34:15,493 Speaker 2: ninety helicopters. 1923 01:34:16,133 --> 01:34:17,772 Speaker 5: They are they are very cool. 1924 01:34:17,853 --> 01:34:20,732 Speaker 3: I've just looked them up. They are twenty aren't. 1925 01:34:20,492 --> 01:34:22,612 Speaker 2: They twenty meters? They're much bigger than you think they 1926 01:34:22,612 --> 01:34:26,092 Speaker 2: would be, and you know they can carry eighteen passages. 1927 01:34:26,372 --> 01:34:28,532 Speaker 2: We do have some pretty cool kit in the Air Force, 1928 01:34:28,652 --> 01:34:31,412 Speaker 2: but I would argue we need more and cooler kit. 1929 01:34:31,612 --> 01:34:33,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, what did you say, though? I One hundred and 1930 01:34:34,013 --> 01:34:35,612 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call twenty five 1931 01:34:35,612 --> 01:34:41,293 Speaker 3: past three, Matt. 1932 01:34:41,333 --> 01:34:44,452 Speaker 1: Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons call Oh, eight hundred and 1933 01:34:44,492 --> 01:34:46,492 Speaker 1: eighty ten eighty on US talks EDB. 1934 01:34:47,093 --> 01:34:49,772 Speaker 3: News Talk ZEDB nine two nine two is the teach number. 1935 01:34:49,812 --> 01:34:51,052 Speaker 3: Some great teachs coming through. 1936 01:34:51,772 --> 01:34:55,972 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Matt and Tyler, Oh, here we go, Sorry, Matt. 1937 01:34:56,053 --> 01:34:58,932 Speaker 2: Defenses like insurance. It is expensive, but way cheaper than 1938 01:34:58,973 --> 01:35:02,812 Speaker 2: the alternative. Ossie's needs may well have moved by. But 1939 01:35:02,973 --> 01:35:05,133 Speaker 2: what was if six things from New Zealand? Perhaps the 1940 01:35:05,452 --> 01:35:07,053 Speaker 2: sixteen V dot l K. 1941 01:35:07,452 --> 01:35:09,852 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, going cheap at the moment when a 1942 01:35:09,893 --> 01:35:12,213 Speaker 3: couple one hundred mil for one of those Craig how 1943 01:35:12,253 --> 01:35:12,412 Speaker 3: are you? 1944 01:35:13,772 --> 01:35:13,972 Speaker 14: Yeah? 1945 01:35:14,053 --> 01:35:16,893 Speaker 6: Good? Hey, we do need to have our defense expenditure. 1946 01:35:17,013 --> 01:35:19,572 Speaker 6: You know, we can't rely on America all the time 1947 01:35:19,652 --> 01:35:22,612 Speaker 6: and theyn't get more hard nosed, and the Australians have 1948 01:35:22,732 --> 01:35:25,053 Speaker 6: seen us as free loaders. We can't spend like what 1949 01:35:25,213 --> 01:35:27,372 Speaker 6: they do, but we do have to up the anty 1950 01:35:27,452 --> 01:35:29,293 Speaker 6: of that because as you know, there's no such thing 1951 01:35:29,293 --> 01:35:31,732 Speaker 6: as a free lunch. There's the elephant in the room 1952 01:35:31,933 --> 01:35:36,173 Speaker 6: in the Pacific, which is China. And regarding the Skyhawks, 1953 01:35:36,173 --> 01:35:38,333 Speaker 6: there's a great book written about them called Top Gun 1954 01:35:38,412 --> 01:35:41,852 Speaker 6: Recruit for the Skyhawks Where to develop the program Here 1955 01:35:41,973 --> 01:35:46,732 Speaker 6: Carol Keewy and Unity called CARHO and they're updated the 1956 01:35:46,812 --> 01:35:49,013 Speaker 6: Avilits and the Skyhawks and they're on a part of 1957 01:35:49,093 --> 01:35:53,372 Speaker 6: the F sixteens and then exercises with the Senaporeans and Ausies. 1958 01:35:53,412 --> 01:35:56,333 Speaker 6: They held their own. We're actually offered twenty eight S 1959 01:35:56,412 --> 01:36:00,812 Speaker 6: sixteens by Bill Clinton at bargain basement prices, but when 1960 01:36:00,893 --> 01:36:04,372 Speaker 6: Helen Clark was elected, it's antimoritory. She turned them down 1961 01:36:04,452 --> 01:36:07,612 Speaker 6: and boised the strike one. To re establish that now 1962 01:36:08,412 --> 01:36:10,652 Speaker 6: of the engineering in the backup would take quite a bit. 1963 01:36:11,293 --> 01:36:13,853 Speaker 6: We do need to do something, guys there. We'll get missiles, 1964 01:36:15,572 --> 01:36:19,093 Speaker 6: all drones. We've got to fill upon our weight. 1965 01:36:19,213 --> 01:36:22,732 Speaker 2: You know, you talk about pulling awake Greg because we 1966 01:36:23,053 --> 01:36:25,093 Speaker 2: would we ever be able to spend the kind of 1967 01:36:25,173 --> 01:36:27,692 Speaker 2: money that would give us the strikeforce some and you 1968 01:36:27,772 --> 01:36:31,372 Speaker 2: talk about China or any potential conflict, and I'm not 1969 01:36:31,452 --> 01:36:33,932 Speaker 2: saying that that's likely or not where we would ever 1970 01:36:34,053 --> 01:36:35,492 Speaker 2: be able to spend the kind of money that we 1971 01:36:35,532 --> 01:36:37,852 Speaker 2: could defend ourselves on our own. 1972 01:36:39,812 --> 01:36:42,132 Speaker 6: No, we'd have to do it in conjunction with our allies. 1973 01:36:42,213 --> 01:36:44,492 Speaker 6: I mean, I was told what we used to spend 1974 01:36:44,532 --> 01:36:46,932 Speaker 6: on the Skyhawks in the year. We spend every three 1975 01:36:47,053 --> 01:36:50,213 Speaker 6: days on welfare. And when they abolished, and the Assies 1976 01:36:50,213 --> 01:36:52,333 Speaker 6: were pleading with us to even off of the help, 1977 01:36:52,372 --> 01:36:55,053 Speaker 6: they had some an hour over there, they had some 1978 01:36:55,293 --> 01:36:59,213 Speaker 6: terminally stationed there, and the ass were pleading with us 1979 01:36:59,293 --> 01:37:01,372 Speaker 6: not to get rid of them. But Clark was determined 1980 01:37:01,372 --> 01:37:03,053 Speaker 6: one way or the other to get rid of them. 1981 01:37:03,772 --> 01:37:07,213 Speaker 6: And that was, you know, made us go down in 1982 01:37:07,253 --> 01:37:10,333 Speaker 6: the eyes of the Ouries. You know, they know that 1983 01:37:10,412 --> 01:37:12,612 Speaker 6: we can't spend the money they have. We haven't got 1984 01:37:12,692 --> 01:37:15,293 Speaker 6: the population, but we've just kind of they seemed to 1985 01:37:15,333 --> 01:37:21,293 Speaker 6: pull our weight our GDP on the it's a dangerous 1986 01:37:21,333 --> 01:37:21,852 Speaker 6: world out. 1987 01:37:21,772 --> 01:37:25,013 Speaker 2: The area from that we're on we're on I think 1988 01:37:25,013 --> 01:37:27,213 Speaker 2: we're on one point two percent. Yeah, I think we 1989 01:37:27,333 --> 01:37:28,412 Speaker 2: might even be lower than that now. 1990 01:37:28,412 --> 01:37:30,452 Speaker 3: I think it was under a percent, wasn't it. We 1991 01:37:30,492 --> 01:37:32,333 Speaker 3: looked this up last year and I believe it was 1992 01:37:32,452 --> 01:37:32,812 Speaker 3: eric point. 1993 01:37:33,173 --> 01:37:36,692 Speaker 2: We've recently had some cuts as well so, and of 1994 01:37:36,812 --> 01:37:40,013 Speaker 2: course we lost them mon Anui, so any savings we 1995 01:37:40,133 --> 01:37:44,372 Speaker 2: made we lost. So yeah, I mean Jacob before was 1996 01:37:44,412 --> 01:37:46,812 Speaker 2: saying that that that that the GDP's in American way 1997 01:37:46,853 --> 01:37:47,933 Speaker 2: of looking at it, but I think it's aso an 1998 01:37:47,933 --> 01:37:50,692 Speaker 2: Australian way of looking at it, isn't it. They go, well, 1999 01:37:50,732 --> 01:37:52,412 Speaker 2: you're only spending this much and we haven't to spend 2000 01:37:52,492 --> 01:37:55,133 Speaker 2: that much. That there is there is a balance that 2001 01:37:55,213 --> 01:37:58,213 Speaker 2: people make in their minds because they are sovereign nations 2002 01:37:58,253 --> 01:38:00,412 Speaker 2: are on their own right. They don't actually owe us 2003 01:38:00,492 --> 01:38:03,213 Speaker 2: to protect us in any way, shape a form, and 2004 01:38:03,293 --> 01:38:05,532 Speaker 2: you can imagine a situation politically where they go, well, 2005 01:38:05,572 --> 01:38:07,572 Speaker 2: they didn't do it, they didn't look after themselves, so 2006 01:38:08,372 --> 01:38:09,253 Speaker 2: why should we help them? 2007 01:38:09,372 --> 01:38:12,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, great, we'll just digress. 2008 01:38:12,452 --> 01:38:14,812 Speaker 6: They were just digress in the old anti nuclear thing 2009 01:38:15,173 --> 01:38:17,452 Speaker 6: that really got us off side with patch things up 2010 01:38:17,492 --> 01:38:20,053 Speaker 6: with the Americans. And as much as people like to 2011 01:38:20,133 --> 01:38:22,093 Speaker 6: beg and the other ones would run through cap and 2012 01:38:22,173 --> 01:38:24,053 Speaker 6: hand for help with so you know what, it's the 2013 01:38:24,173 --> 01:38:24,892 Speaker 6: fan one't they. 2014 01:38:25,133 --> 01:38:29,012 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Just going back to the Skyhawks, because 2015 01:38:29,053 --> 01:38:32,333 Speaker 3: I was a little bit too young to remember whether 2016 01:38:32,412 --> 01:38:35,172 Speaker 3: there was much pushback from the public, was there, Gregor 2017 01:38:35,293 --> 01:38:37,173 Speaker 3: was there quite a bit of acceptance that. 2018 01:38:38,612 --> 01:38:40,013 Speaker 6: There was a hell of a prospect. There was a 2019 01:38:40,053 --> 01:38:42,852 Speaker 6: petition launched in the paper and I signed it along 2020 01:38:42,893 --> 01:38:46,212 Speaker 6: with many others, and people played it with the government. 2021 01:38:46,293 --> 01:38:49,053 Speaker 6: You know, it's not because you had all the engineering 2022 01:38:49,133 --> 01:38:51,732 Speaker 6: and maintenance that went with them. And those people eventually 2023 01:38:51,853 --> 01:38:54,732 Speaker 6: end up in Ciby Street, and you know, that's where 2024 01:38:54,732 --> 01:38:56,133 Speaker 6: a lot of people end up. And it was a 2025 01:38:56,173 --> 01:38:58,452 Speaker 6: great thing for in New Zealand and for the country 2026 01:38:58,532 --> 01:39:01,372 Speaker 6: in general. And as I said, car Who was an 2027 01:39:01,372 --> 01:39:05,293 Speaker 6: amazing program. Good on kewe know here and you know 2028 01:39:05,612 --> 01:39:07,932 Speaker 6: we developed that hair and it was a great thing. 2029 01:39:08,013 --> 01:39:10,532 Speaker 6: And those Skyhawks do you remember they put them into 2030 01:39:10,652 --> 01:39:13,253 Speaker 6: storage because the Americans wouldn't allow them to be sold. 2031 01:39:13,893 --> 01:39:16,173 Speaker 6: And what they spend on storage, I mean, it was 2032 01:39:16,253 --> 01:39:19,772 Speaker 6: just ridiculous. And the Israelis and other ear forces have 2033 01:39:19,853 --> 01:39:22,972 Speaker 6: still gotten them. They're a great replaying the ground attack playing. 2034 01:39:23,853 --> 01:39:27,893 Speaker 6: They did a wonderful shot and our allies would have 2035 01:39:28,253 --> 01:39:31,092 Speaker 6: probably helped us, you know, with a bit of monetary 2036 01:39:31,133 --> 01:39:33,093 Speaker 6: assistance if we needed it. I'm sure. 2037 01:39:33,893 --> 01:39:37,213 Speaker 3: Great. Yeah, you make make some great points. And it 2038 01:39:37,372 --> 01:39:40,452 Speaker 3: was a little bit devious, wasn't it. Of Helen Clark 2039 01:39:40,492 --> 01:39:43,692 Speaker 3: at the time that from my understanding corectly if I'm wrong, 2040 01:39:43,853 --> 01:39:47,093 Speaker 3: but the idea of mothballing them was that there's a 2041 01:39:47,173 --> 01:39:49,732 Speaker 3: potential that they may come back, that we may find 2042 01:39:50,652 --> 01:39:53,812 Speaker 3: that we find the money there or the funding there 2043 01:39:53,933 --> 01:39:56,532 Speaker 3: to bring them back into service. And of course that 2044 01:39:56,732 --> 01:39:59,372 Speaker 3: was never part of the plant. It was always a 2045 01:39:59,532 --> 01:40:02,213 Speaker 3: slow mothballing. And you can't they can't be sold, and 2046 01:40:02,293 --> 01:40:04,212 Speaker 3: eventually they'll just end up in museum's. 2047 01:40:05,572 --> 01:40:05,772 Speaker 16: Yeah. 2048 01:40:05,812 --> 01:40:07,892 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I don't told you when they come 2049 01:40:07,933 --> 01:40:11,173 Speaker 6: out here nineteen seventy or early seventies, when they're brought 2050 01:40:11,213 --> 01:40:14,012 Speaker 6: here without having correct fashion. She was on the people 2051 01:40:14,013 --> 01:40:17,572 Speaker 6: who've got our protests against her, and I'm told I 2052 01:40:17,612 --> 01:40:19,532 Speaker 6: don't know how to see her. She said, I'm going 2053 01:40:19,572 --> 01:40:21,452 Speaker 6: to get rid of you one day, and sure enough 2054 01:40:21,572 --> 01:40:21,892 Speaker 6: she did. 2055 01:40:22,213 --> 01:40:22,412 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2056 01:40:22,933 --> 01:40:24,932 Speaker 3: Greg, always good to chat mate. Thank you very much 2057 01:40:24,973 --> 01:40:25,772 Speaker 3: for giving us a buzz. 2058 01:40:26,372 --> 01:40:29,772 Speaker 2: So I think that they're Our defense spending is between 2059 01:40:30,253 --> 01:40:33,852 Speaker 2: zero point eight and zero point nine percent of GDP, 2060 01:40:34,452 --> 01:40:38,572 Speaker 2: whereas Australia is increasing their defense budget to two point 2061 01:40:38,612 --> 01:40:41,093 Speaker 2: four of their GDP, and obviously their GDP is far 2062 01:40:41,452 --> 01:40:44,932 Speaker 2: far larger than ours, So that seems out of all 2063 01:40:45,013 --> 01:40:47,732 Speaker 2: the things you have to do as a government, defense 2064 01:40:48,853 --> 01:40:51,692 Speaker 2: is a huge part of it. And to only be 2065 01:40:51,732 --> 01:40:53,972 Speaker 2: spending that much money, and it's one of those things 2066 01:40:54,013 --> 01:40:55,732 Speaker 2: because people will go, what will you take it away from? 2067 01:40:55,732 --> 01:40:57,852 Speaker 2: Because we don't seem to be able to afford our health, 2068 01:40:58,692 --> 01:41:04,412 Speaker 2: or our education or our superinnuation. So and just because 2069 01:41:04,412 --> 01:41:08,092 Speaker 2: there's no in inanimate oh my god, I can't speak 2070 01:41:08,093 --> 01:41:12,972 Speaker 2: today imminent threat, well, we perceive that there isn't. It's 2071 01:41:13,093 --> 01:41:15,133 Speaker 2: very hard to move that money into it. But you've 2072 01:41:15,133 --> 01:41:18,772 Speaker 2: got it as a nation, don't you have to defend yourself. 2073 01:41:18,893 --> 01:41:21,612 Speaker 2: Isn't that one of the key parts of being a nation. 2074 01:41:21,853 --> 01:41:23,812 Speaker 3: I always thought the measure of NATOON. I know we're 2075 01:41:23,893 --> 01:41:27,572 Speaker 3: not part of of NATO, but the part of that 2076 01:41:27,772 --> 01:41:31,133 Speaker 3: deal is that those member countries should hit at least 2077 01:41:31,213 --> 01:41:35,412 Speaker 3: two percent of their GDP spent on on military. And 2078 01:41:35,772 --> 01:41:39,972 Speaker 3: I believe that only three or four of those thirty 2079 01:41:40,093 --> 01:41:42,932 Speaker 3: members reached that level of two percent, but I think 2080 01:41:42,973 --> 01:41:45,333 Speaker 3: that's a good number.

Is on the back of the farewell to 2121 01:44:01,492 --> 01:44:05,093 Speaker 3: the C one thirty h Hercule. Beautiful aircraft been in 2122 01:44:05,213 --> 01:44:08,253 Speaker 3: operation for sixty years, but there are some new who 2123 01:44:08,333 --> 01:44:12,133 Speaker 3: alles that have been purchased by the government. But it 2124 01:44:12,253 --> 01:44:15,053 Speaker 3: had us talking about our investment into our air force, 2125 01:44:15,133 --> 01:44:18,852 Speaker 3: and ever since the Skyhawks were mothballed, we haven't really 2126 01:44:19,093 --> 01:44:22,492 Speaker 3: had a combat ready aircraft as part of our air force. 2127 01:44:22,692 --> 01:44:26,532 Speaker 3: Arguably those beautiful helicopters what is at the Inn in 2128 01:44:26,652 --> 01:44:29,973 Speaker 3: age nineties. Yeah, they are beasts of helicopters, aren't they. 2129 01:44:30,133 --> 01:44:31,732 Speaker 2: Yeah they are. I mean they do have some of 2130 01:44:31,772 --> 01:44:36,212 Speaker 2: their upkeeping maintenance issues, but they're very very cool choppers 2131 01:44:36,893 --> 01:44:39,133 Speaker 2: if you ask me. And I don't know all of 2132 01:44:39,173 --> 01:44:42,213 Speaker 2: a lot about choppers, but I flew the Air Force 2133 01:44:42,253 --> 01:44:45,492 Speaker 2: simulator one of them, and well I did pretty well actually, 2134 01:44:45,853 --> 01:44:48,253 Speaker 2: but then I shredded some people in the Caketon and 2135 01:44:48,293 --> 01:44:50,572 Speaker 2: Wellington because I decided to fly out over Wellington and 2136 01:44:50,853 --> 01:44:54,893 Speaker 2: they've got in there in their simulator. They've got the 2137 01:44:54,933 --> 01:44:56,452 Speaker 2: whole of New Zealand so you can fly around. So 2138 01:44:56,492 --> 01:44:58,213 Speaker 2: I thought, you know, I'll try and land in a stadium. 2139 01:44:58,772 --> 01:45:01,452 Speaker 2: Landed in WISPEC Stadium and shredded some people in the 2140 01:45:01,492 --> 01:45:02,132 Speaker 2: crowd because. 2141 01:45:02,572 --> 01:45:06,173 Speaker 3: Well was it cut off from failed to pass if 2142 01:45:06,253 --> 01:45:07,252 Speaker 3: you take out maybe. 2143 01:45:08,412 --> 01:45:11,093 Speaker 2: Failed for reckless flying. But also I forgot that those 2144 01:45:11,253 --> 01:45:14,692 Speaker 2: helicopters are twenty meters long. Yeah, so I forgot about 2145 01:45:14,692 --> 01:45:15,293 Speaker 2: the art the end of it. 2146 01:45:15,452 --> 01:45:16,492 Speaker 3: It's a trick for new players. 2147 01:45:16,692 --> 01:45:19,293 Speaker 2: I got, I got it down. Just treated some people. 2148 01:45:20,053 --> 01:45:21,133 Speaker 3: Morris, how are you mate? 2149 01:45:22,013 --> 01:45:25,093 Speaker 4: Yeah, guys, here are interesting conversation here. We definitely need 2150 01:45:25,213 --> 01:45:31,652 Speaker 4: to lift our game because we need to get in 2151 01:45:31,732 --> 01:45:34,093 Speaker 4: bed with Australia. And the guys said earlier, we need 2152 01:45:34,173 --> 01:45:36,772 Speaker 4: to speak to them and say, you know, what can 2153 01:45:36,812 --> 01:45:39,852 Speaker 4: we do to support you and have like a once 2154 01:45:39,893 --> 01:45:43,893 Speaker 4: again at Anzac battalion or something, because I'll tell you what. 2155 01:45:45,772 --> 01:45:50,852 Speaker 4: You know, China's coming down slowly but surely down, you 2156 01:45:50,893 --> 01:45:53,053 Speaker 4: know in the Pacific. You know, the guys said, oh, 2157 01:45:53,333 --> 01:45:55,412 Speaker 4: you know, they won't come down here whether they're already 2158 01:45:55,893 --> 01:45:58,253 Speaker 4: you know, trying to build bases up in New Guinea 2159 01:45:58,333 --> 01:46:02,852 Speaker 4: and the Philippines. You know, got the military base here 2160 01:46:02,853 --> 01:46:05,813 Speaker 4: at the ends. But they have in trouble with their fisheries. 2161 01:46:06,372 --> 01:46:10,053 Speaker 4: My theory is this, you know, they might come down 2162 01:46:10,253 --> 01:46:13,173 Speaker 4: in a wall foding, but what would we do if 2163 01:46:13,213 --> 01:46:16,532 Speaker 4: one hundred of their big commercial fishing boats come down 2164 01:46:16,612 --> 01:46:20,412 Speaker 4: here with the coast Guard, which is basically their navy 2165 01:46:21,013 --> 01:46:23,452 Speaker 4: and started fishing in our orders. What could we do? 2166 01:46:24,572 --> 01:46:25,732 Speaker 4: We don't even have a navy. 2167 01:46:26,093 --> 01:46:29,412 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean there's some talk that maybe away 2168 01:46:29,772 --> 01:46:32,412 Speaker 2: what we could do is invest more in drones, because 2169 01:46:32,532 --> 01:46:37,252 Speaker 2: there's the drones are a cheaper way to police your oceans. 2170 01:46:37,652 --> 01:46:39,892 Speaker 2: But there doesn't seem to be any sort of commitment 2171 01:46:39,933 --> 01:46:40,732 Speaker 2: towards that. 2172 01:46:40,893 --> 01:46:42,572 Speaker 3: Either you need you need a bit of a stick 2173 01:46:42,612 --> 01:46:44,652 Speaker 3: to wave, don't you, or at least backing from a 2174 01:46:44,692 --> 01:46:47,092 Speaker 3: country that does have a big stick. But the Japanese, 2175 01:46:47,133 --> 01:46:49,572 Speaker 3: for example, when they were in our waters whaling, there 2176 01:46:49,652 --> 01:46:52,253 Speaker 3: was a huge thing and there wasn't too much we 2177 01:46:52,372 --> 01:46:54,812 Speaker 3: could do. We'd tried, but Japan said, we hear you, 2178 01:46:55,053 --> 01:46:56,492 Speaker 3: and we don't care. We're going to take you away. 2179 01:46:56,492 --> 01:46:58,652 Speaker 2: We can send out Augland transplant parking enforcement. 2180 01:47:00,893 --> 01:47:03,173 Speaker 4: What would we do? What we do China send down 2181 01:47:03,213 --> 01:47:07,093 Speaker 4: one hundred commercial fishing boats down here with the coastguards. 2182 01:47:07,412 --> 01:47:08,372 Speaker 4: That basically. 2183 01:47:12,572 --> 01:47:14,492 Speaker 2: Very little, very little we could do, you know, And 2184 01:47:14,572 --> 01:47:16,892 Speaker 2: we've got you know, our navy. We've just lost a ship. 2185 01:47:17,253 --> 01:47:20,293 Speaker 2: But you know, well, you know we've got we've got 2186 01:47:20,333 --> 01:47:22,932 Speaker 2: some ships, one one down recently. I think we lost 2187 01:47:22,973 --> 01:47:27,293 Speaker 2: eleven percent of around our navy. But yeah, I mean 2188 01:47:27,333 --> 01:47:30,933 Speaker 2: the amount of coastline and the amount of water that 2189 01:47:31,013 --> 01:47:33,412 Speaker 2: we have to protect with what we've got is it's 2190 01:47:33,492 --> 01:47:35,972 Speaker 2: not even it's not even possible. 2191 01:47:36,213 --> 01:47:40,452 Speaker 4: But but you know, maybe drones of the way hope 2192 01:47:41,253 --> 01:47:44,572 Speaker 4: has been in step with Australia. Yeah, you've got too 2193 01:47:44,652 --> 01:47:46,053 Speaker 4: much on the plate story about it. 2194 01:47:46,293 --> 01:47:48,293 Speaker 2: But can you mention a situation Morris though, where we 2195 01:47:48,412 --> 01:47:50,333 Speaker 2: hand over because I think the problem that we have 2196 01:47:50,532 --> 01:47:53,492 Speaker 2: with that is if we just get in lockstep with 2197 01:47:53,572 --> 01:47:56,492 Speaker 2: the Australian military and hand then what they want, then 2198 01:47:56,572 --> 01:48:01,852 Speaker 2: we're kind of handing over our international operations to another government. 2199 01:48:02,133 --> 01:48:04,372 Speaker 2: So whatever they have to do or they want to do, 2200 01:48:04,492 --> 01:48:08,092 Speaker 2: we have to do which and we had very different countries. 2201 01:48:08,173 --> 01:48:11,293 Speaker 3: So if some nutcase gets into the Australian government and decides, 2202 01:48:11,372 --> 01:48:13,333 Speaker 3: you know what, I've really had enough of China, let's go, 2203 01:48:13,652 --> 01:48:14,612 Speaker 3: we're in We're. 2204 01:48:16,612 --> 01:48:20,253 Speaker 4: Morris, No, what I mean, not so much, you know 2205 01:48:20,532 --> 01:48:23,412 Speaker 4: that way, that's too extreme, But I mean, least have 2206 01:48:23,532 --> 01:48:26,932 Speaker 4: the same equipment and the same types of military car 2207 01:48:27,133 --> 01:48:28,732 Speaker 4: for the same type of Yeah. 2208 01:48:28,893 --> 01:48:31,133 Speaker 2: So stuff slots in together so it fits in with 2209 01:48:31,213 --> 01:48:33,652 Speaker 2: what they're doing. Yet, Hey, thank you for you call. Morris. 2210 01:48:34,133 --> 01:48:38,213 Speaker 2: I appreciate that this textas says, what do you mean though, straightforce? 2211 01:48:38,253 --> 01:48:41,213 Speaker 2: We've got a chipmunk and three tiger moths here at Wanaka, 2212 01:48:41,612 --> 01:48:45,173 Speaker 2: and there's an M fourteen spit at Omakah and Peter 2213 01:48:45,333 --> 01:48:48,492 Speaker 2: Jackson has two Fokker triplanes. We're ready, boys, bring it on. 2214 01:48:48,933 --> 01:48:50,572 Speaker 3: That would really stitch them up if they had the 2215 01:48:50,692 --> 01:48:53,013 Speaker 3: F sixteens and we bring the old boys back. I mean, 2216 01:48:53,053 --> 01:48:55,412 Speaker 3: what what are the F sixteens do?

So there you go yourself down, mate. 2249 01:50:17,093 --> 01:50:18,732 Speaker 2: No, I think it's right, but it's not a great 2250 01:50:18,772 --> 01:50:21,572 Speaker 2: way to describe a plane as a vehicle anyway, guys, 2251 01:50:21,652 --> 01:50:23,612 Speaker 2: we could do all the training up to PC nine 2252 01:50:23,692 --> 01:50:25,972 Speaker 2: standard for the Aussies and US. A number of keywis 2253 01:50:26,013 --> 01:50:28,053 Speaker 2: could then go on to the fast jets with the 2254 01:50:28,652 --> 01:50:32,572 Speaker 2: r aaf NH ninety is about twenty six thousand per 2255 01:50:32,692 --> 01:50:36,013 Speaker 2: hour to operate Australian ditch. Their is Australia. The Australians 2256 01:50:36,053 --> 01:50:38,253 Speaker 2: ditch there is we should have bought black Hawks or 2257 01:50:38,293 --> 01:50:40,532 Speaker 2: something similar to what Australia operates. We could have got 2258 01:50:40,652 --> 01:50:43,333 Speaker 2: more for our money and more practical. I mean, I 2259 01:50:43,412 --> 01:50:46,093 Speaker 2: don't know a lot about helicopters, but I knew that 2260 01:50:46,133 --> 01:50:49,093 Speaker 2: the NH nineties look cool and they're huge, so I 2261 01:50:49,333 --> 01:50:51,692 Speaker 2: like them. But yeah, what he's kind of saying there 2262 01:50:51,973 --> 01:50:55,372 Speaker 2: is that we slot in with the Australians, so we 2263 01:50:55,812 --> 01:50:58,973 Speaker 2: train to their standards so we can slot on to 2264 01:50:59,093 --> 01:51:02,492 Speaker 2: use the gear if they need it. And you know, 2265 01:51:02,652 --> 01:51:06,213 Speaker 2: we buy we buy units that fit what they're doing. 2266 01:51:06,412 --> 01:51:08,333 Speaker 2: So if they're buying black Hawks, we buy black Horley. 2267 01:51:08,732 --> 01:51:10,532 Speaker 3: I like the idea of it, but we'd have to 2268 01:51:10,652 --> 01:51:13,213 Speaker 3: own those assets. That's important, right. We couldn't go into 2269 01:51:13,253 --> 01:51:16,053 Speaker 3: some sort of arrangement where we say here's a couple 2270 01:51:16,093 --> 01:51:19,173 Speaker 3: of hundred million dollars, use that to buy some sort 2271 01:51:19,213 --> 01:51:21,973 Speaker 3: of aircraft or vehicle and we're in with you. That 2272 01:51:22,333 --> 01:51:23,452 Speaker 3: is where it starts to get try. 2273 01:51:24,732 --> 01:51:28,093 Speaker 2: What you could say, is Australia, what are you buying? Okay, 2274 01:51:28,173 --> 01:51:30,093 Speaker 2: we'll get some of that and we'll train up for 2275 01:51:30,173 --> 01:51:32,213 Speaker 2: people to use your gear, and you can use some 2276 01:51:32,333 --> 01:51:34,452 Speaker 2: of our gear. But the problem with that is we 2277 01:51:34,532 --> 01:51:38,572 Speaker 2: are then if we get in line, as we're saying 2278 01:51:38,612 --> 01:51:40,572 Speaker 2: before Australia too much, then do we have our own 2279 01:51:40,612 --> 01:51:43,652 Speaker 2: foreign policy or are we just part of theirs? And 2280 01:51:43,812 --> 01:51:45,252 Speaker 2: do we just become a part of Australia. 2281 01:51:45,812 --> 01:51:48,812 Speaker 3: It's a hard one, Warren, how are you? Oh, I'm 2282 01:51:48,893 --> 01:51:51,812 Speaker 3: great now and we do need to upgrade. 2283 01:51:53,013 --> 01:51:53,053 Speaker 16: No. 2284 01:51:53,612 --> 01:51:58,253 Speaker 10: I've been listening to sitting way back to Buyen talking 2285 01:51:58,412 --> 01:52:03,213 Speaker 10: about how much money they're spending on their enemies and 2286 01:52:05,692 --> 01:52:09,053 Speaker 10: their defense, and I kept thinking, I've looked at a 2287 01:52:09,133 --> 01:52:12,293 Speaker 10: math and I can't find any I can't find a 2288 01:52:12,412 --> 01:52:16,692 Speaker 10: map of the world that shows New Zealand's enemies. I 2289 01:52:16,772 --> 01:52:17,972 Speaker 10: don't think we've got any. 2290 01:52:19,732 --> 01:52:23,012 Speaker 2: You don't, well, we don't have it. Well, we definitely 2291 01:52:23,093 --> 01:52:26,412 Speaker 2: have people that were in competition worth I guess if 2292 01:52:26,492 --> 01:52:30,852 Speaker 2: you look at the West versus the East, you know 2293 01:52:30,933 --> 01:52:34,612 Speaker 2: there are definitely historical alliances and sides that we kind 2294 01:52:34,652 --> 01:52:38,772 Speaker 2: of are on. But as for someone that's directly threatening us, no, 2295 01:52:39,093 --> 01:52:41,173 Speaker 2: But you don't think that things could change very quickly 2296 01:52:41,253 --> 01:52:42,612 Speaker 2: Warrant No. 2297 01:52:42,772 --> 01:52:45,652 Speaker 10: I think we really need to spend more time making 2298 01:52:45,853 --> 01:52:50,253 Speaker 10: friends you know, we need to spend most of our 2299 01:52:50,412 --> 01:52:53,293 Speaker 10: effort that you know. I mean, I was listening to 2300 01:52:53,492 --> 01:52:55,612 Speaker 10: some of the prices, you know, and you fire one 2301 01:52:55,732 --> 01:52:58,213 Speaker 10: missile and that's probably what we spend on our air 2302 01:52:58,293 --> 01:53:02,772 Speaker 10: force every year. So you kind of go and what 2303 01:53:02,973 --> 01:53:03,852 Speaker 10: ends with that missile? 2304 01:53:04,013 --> 01:53:04,372 Speaker 14: Missus? 2305 01:53:04,492 --> 01:53:08,012 Speaker 10: You know, the whole thing is just a waste of time. 2306 01:53:09,612 --> 01:53:11,852 Speaker 2: When you agree Warren that the way you make friends 2307 01:53:12,253 --> 01:53:16,572 Speaker 2: as buy it with military alliances and seeing how you 2308 01:53:16,692 --> 01:53:20,293 Speaker 2: can fit in with the militaries of your ally's allies. 2309 01:53:20,372 --> 01:53:21,692 Speaker 2: Isn't that one way to make friends. 2310 01:53:22,612 --> 01:53:25,612 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's there's certainly a way to make friends. Doesn't 2311 01:53:25,652 --> 01:53:28,572 Speaker 10: mean you have to be a fighter pilot, doesn't mean 2312 01:53:28,772 --> 01:53:35,253 Speaker 10: you have to own these beautiful looking helicopters. You know, 2313 01:53:35,492 --> 01:53:40,452 Speaker 10: we we can, we can actually we're capable of going 2314 01:53:40,492 --> 01:53:46,213 Speaker 10: out into the world, meeting people, making friends, and working 2315 01:53:46,372 --> 01:53:50,612 Speaker 10: with most of the nationalities in the world, you know. 2316 01:53:50,812 --> 01:53:55,132 Speaker 10: And you know, I keep hearing about this this huge 2317 01:53:55,333 --> 01:54:01,293 Speaker 10: threat from China, and you know, I just I just 2318 01:54:01,452 --> 01:54:05,852 Speaker 10: keep thinking, really, do we really think that there is 2319 01:54:06,053 --> 01:54:09,372 Speaker 10: this massive threat from a country the size of China 2320 01:54:10,293 --> 01:54:15,412 Speaker 10: is preparing to threaten a country the size of Music. 2321 01:54:15,853 --> 01:54:19,372 Speaker 10: And I mean, if anything. They want to protect our 2322 01:54:19,452 --> 01:54:23,932 Speaker 10: country so that they can then give enough agricultural product 2323 01:54:24,013 --> 01:54:24,852 Speaker 10: to live on. 2324 01:54:25,412 --> 01:54:27,692 Speaker 2: Well, I mean they we trade with them and we 2325 01:54:27,812 --> 01:54:30,972 Speaker 2: make money off them. But you, I guess the reason 2326 01:54:31,013 --> 01:54:33,693 Speaker 2: why you have a defense force in you invest is 2327 01:54:33,812 --> 01:54:36,173 Speaker 2: because you don't know anything about the future. You can 2328 01:54:36,253 --> 01:54:39,893 Speaker 2: make some predictions, but things can change in a geopolitical 2329 01:54:39,973 --> 01:54:42,333 Speaker 2: manner very very quickly. Would you agree, Warren? 2330 01:54:43,293 --> 01:54:47,173 Speaker 10: Oh, I totally agree. And the problem with that, of course, 2331 01:54:47,293 --> 01:54:50,772 Speaker 10: is we still won't be able to contribute. We still 2332 01:54:51,893 --> 01:54:56,772 Speaker 10: we still have the inability to to match it at 2333 01:54:56,853 --> 01:55:01,893 Speaker 10: a significant stage. You know, what we what we what 2334 01:55:01,973 --> 01:55:04,333 Speaker 10: we're going to look at is what are we good at? 2335 01:55:04,453 --> 01:55:10,733 Speaker 10: What can we actually do to bring the world together. Yeah, 2336 01:55:10,812 --> 01:55:13,573 Speaker 10: and a lot of what we need to do is 2337 01:55:14,173 --> 01:55:15,052 Speaker 10: worked with people. 2338 01:55:16,373 --> 01:55:18,493 Speaker 3: Warren, Thank you very much. I hear what you're saying. 2339 01:55:18,493 --> 01:55:21,053 Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's trying to be neutral. But as 2340 01:55:21,253 --> 01:55:23,733 Speaker 3: we know, with the state of the world and geopolitical forces. 2341 01:55:24,213 --> 01:55:25,092 Speaker 2: I love the sentiment. 2342 01:55:26,093 --> 01:55:26,493 Speaker 14: I love it. 2343 01:55:27,013 --> 01:55:29,733 Speaker 2: I do think we need to work with people and 2344 01:55:29,973 --> 01:55:33,852 Speaker 2: bring together and find some friends. This text here says 2345 01:55:34,333 --> 01:55:37,133 Speaker 2: with Ansis and Anzac, we're guaranteed to be protected by 2346 01:55:37,133 --> 01:55:40,413 Speaker 2: Australia in the US.
