1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: It's Heather dup to see Ellen drive with one New 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 2: Zealand Let's get connected news. 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 3: Talk said, be. 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 4: Afternoon coming up on the show. The warehouse is into 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 4: Emboss on how stuffed the red sheds are. Infrastructure Minister 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 4: Chris Bishop on whether Dunedin will now get a hospital 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 4: or not it's blown its budget and but Shelford on 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 4: whether he likes the idea of body and for dmac. 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: Heather duplic Ellen. 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 4: Oh, that's quite the crack down on the truancy from 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 4: David Seymour, isn't it. 13 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 3: Jeez. 14 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 4: Don't expect this to go down with the go down 15 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 4: well with the teacher unions. So the first thing that 16 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 4: David Seymore was announced is that he's coming for the parents. 17 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 4: He's going to bring in the possibility of enforcing fines 18 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 4: on parents who don't send their kids to school. Now 19 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 4: one hundred percent the excuse makers in this country are 20 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 4: going to have a problem with this because it's picking 21 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 4: on the vulnerable, et cetera, et cetera. Let me tell 22 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 4: you something. School is compulsory in New Zealand. If it's 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 4: compulsory and you don't do it. Generally, how that works 24 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 4: is you get punished. A fine is your punishment. That's 25 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 4: how compulsion works. There's no point in having it be 26 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 4: compulsory and ASKO, well, it's compulsory if we're not then 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 4: prepared to also punish someone for not doing the compulsory thing. 28 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 4: And the fine is not new. It's not like David 29 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 4: Seamoh's dreamed up a fine here. These fines are already 30 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 4: on the books. They already exist. Parents can already be 31 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 4: fined thirty bucks a day if they don't send their 32 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 4: kids to school, potentially up to three thousand bucks if 33 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 4: they are recidivis defenders. It's just that currently, for the 34 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 4: longest time, the fines have not been enforced. Now, the 35 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 4: second thing that David Cema is doing is that he's 36 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 4: scrapping teacher only days during term times. Schools at the 37 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 4: moment to have to hold the teacher under these new rules, 38 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 4: not even new rules. Under this direction, schools will have 39 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 4: to hold the teacher only days in term breaks. Now 40 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 4: one hundred percent the school. The teacher unions are going 41 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 4: to complain about this, but again again this is not new. 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 4: According to David c Office, the law already says that 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 4: teacher only days should only be held during breaks right, 44 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 4: not during term time, and if they have to be 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 4: held during term time, it can only be held with 46 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 4: the permission of the Ministry of Education. But things have 47 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 4: just got a bit ropy here, haven't they. So all 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 4: David Seymour is doing here is reminding us all what 49 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 4: the rules already are and trying to get us to 50 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 4: follow the existing rules. And the fact that this is 51 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 4: coming across as quite a big crackdown, I think tells 52 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: you how loose we've got with respecting education. Keller nine 53 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 4: two is the text number. Standard text fees apply. We'll 54 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 4: talk about it a little bit later on again. Now 55 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 4: Hastings just a council interesting it's this afternoon voted to 56 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 4: allow unelected members of its youth council to have votes 57 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 4: in council decisions. So the kids will be allowed to 58 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: vote in council committees and council subcommittees and they'll be paid. Now, 59 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: the council was divided on this, seven voted for it 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 4: and seven voted against it, but ultimately the mayor had 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 4: the casting vote and the men voted for It's Chris 62 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 4: Proctor is the Youth Council chair. 63 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: Hay Chris Hi, how are you well? 64 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 4: Thank you? How much are you getting paid. 65 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 5: At this stage? I've only got a partner un job 66 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 5: at a cafe. 67 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: No man for the council work. 68 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 5: Look, they vote today actually didn't confirm anything. It's said 69 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 5: that councils have now got the ability to potentially give 70 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 5: us votes. It's only the first step of the stage. Nothing, 71 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 5: nothing's happening. 72 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 4: Oh okay, so I heard it's about five hundred bucks 73 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 4: per meeting that you would get paid. Is that correct? 74 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 5: Yes, if I can give you some context for that. 75 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 5: The Youth Council, at the beginning of this process, we 76 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 5: never intended remuneration. 77 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 6: We're not here for remuneration. That's not our purpose. 78 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 5: But council officers informed us that it would be against 79 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 5: council values to treat people differently that are working on 80 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 5: those committees, and ultimately that's the decision we respect, and 81 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 5: we said that the conversations that happened in the next couple 82 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 5: of weeks they will determine whether we get remunerated or not. 83 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 5: But we've made a position. 84 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: Waking there and how many of you are there? 85 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 5: There are seventeen of us youth counselors. 86 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: How much seven did you just say? 87 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 5: Seventeen seventeen of us youth counselors.

To be honest with you, 167 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 4: if I was a Hayes Thing's rate payer and I've 168 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: just been told I'm paying tweet, what did you What 169 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 4: was your rates increase?

I think I might not be totally cool 180 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,239 Speaker 4: with that. What do you think? 181 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 5: I agree with you completely. Rights degrees have been huge 182 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 5: for communities, and that's why we've always said we don't 183 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 5: want to be paid council offices and formulatts against council values, 184 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 5: and we have to accept that position. 185 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 4: I think you're kind of missing my point. My point 186 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 4: is I don't actually even want you to have a say, 187 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: not because I don't like you. You sound like a 188 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 4: really smart like you're going places. You're obviously super smart, 189 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 4: but you're seventeen years old, mate, I don't care what 190 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 4: you think. Like, that's kind of how a lot of 191 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 4: ratepayers are going to think. 192 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 5: Right, that's a fair position to have. That depends on 193 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 5: it depends on what the majority thinks then in this case, Yeah. 194 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris, thank you.

You need to look 216 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 9: at Melbourne Storm on the Sydney Roosters. To me, this 217 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 9: is huge becuse I've got two huge aggressive props both 218 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 9: from New Zealand up against each other, Jared Whyed a 219 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 9: hard race is last season and Nelson Solomona, so that 220 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 9: collision has gone. I don't think they're taking any bets 221 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 9: on who gets taken off on a stretcher first. But 222 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 9: if you want to take a look at this Melbourne Storm, 223 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 9: go for a multi oka Storm one to twelve to 224 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 9: win that thirty one to forty total points and will 225 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 9: rulbrick anytime try score.

Don't make you 227 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 4: very rich, all right? So what do you think of 228 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 4: the all black squad. 229 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 9: I'm really pleased that they've not changed one through eight. 230 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 9: I think that says a lot about where Robertson's heads 231 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 9: at that has stayed the same. They've got a couple 232 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 9: of changes off the bench. Patty Tuops. Patrick is back 233 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 9: in favor again. Whis good, but we're not in favor. 234 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 9: It's not broken anymore was the point. But it says 235 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 9: a lot to me. I'm on the Australians, I'm going, oh, 236 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 9: it's the same pack. They know what they're they know 237 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 9: what they have to do. Our great tick for Wai 238 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 9: and the number six jersey again further sharpening his blade, 239 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 9: maybe become the full time number six out back. We 240 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 9: this was forecast by so many people, Limb Napier plainly. 241 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 9: And we've got Biden Barrett coming in at ten. I 242 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 9: got no issue with that. Mackenzie doing what he probably 243 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 9: does best, which is coming off the bench. Anton Lennett 244 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 9: Brown rolls in where there is no Jordi Barrett, and 245 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 9: then we switch around with Cortezima who's out TJ Pittinara 246 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 9: in his last game in Wellington. And you think about 247 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 9: that combination that TJ and Boden that will probably work 248 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 9: quite well. When they flick the switch and get the 249 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 9: bench sorted out. Suddenly you've got Ratima and McKenzie, who 250 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 9: also have a relationship at the Chiefs coming on. 251 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 3: So that's the nob. 252 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is to your theory that dmac does well 253 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 4: in chaos and so because you think he's the kind 254 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 4: of player that that really excels in chaos. P not 255 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: with them drive it, not with their structure and so 256 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: what you need in the first sixty minutes of structure, 257 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 4: but by the last sixty to eighty minutes, at last 258 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 4: twenty minutes, you've just got people who are so knacked 259 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 4: it becomes chaotic. And then he can work his magic. 260 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 9: Providing they don't get to us situation where we're twenty 261 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 9: minutes to go, the All Blacks are down by fifteen and. 262 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 4: Then it's like, oh, but too much pressure. 263 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 9: Those They've got to have faith in him, and I 264 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 9: think people are being criticized. I think he knows and 265 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 9: then maybe he provides something else, but they get kicker 266 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 9: here for me, Can they score in the last twenty minutes? 267 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 10: Yeah? 268 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 9: Will the All Blacks actually bother the scoreboard attend in 269 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 9: the last twenty minutes? 270 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 4: It's demac redemption time, isn't it in the last twenty minutes, 271 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 4: isn't it?

Its budget 306 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 4: apparently was originally one point eight eight billion. Now apparently 307 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 4: it's looking like a three billion dollar project, which is 308 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 4: just too much for them. So they've got two options, right, 309 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 4: because Dunedin needs a hospital. It's going to have. It's 310 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 4: going to have to have this. It's either basically to 311 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 4: keep on developing on the old site or just build 312 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 4: a new one on the new site, but like a 313 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 4: really small one.

Hither, I agree that that 316 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 4: young man should not be part of decision making, but 317 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 4: he sounds more intelligent and capable than Wellington's dumb mayor. 318 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: That's true. Trevor's onto something there. Hither, I don't agree 319 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: with the young man from Hawk's Bay, but he impressed me. 320 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 4: He spoke well and thought well from his corner. Here 321 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 4: the Chris Proctor. That's the young man. Remember this name, 322 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 4: By the way, I think he's going places.

He'd have brains than most counselors. I'm happy 327 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 4: to pay for him.

It's a policy. It's been around for 426 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 18: about thirty years. Basically, if you have an investment property, 427 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 18: and a fair number of Australians do, if you pay 428 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 18: more and outgoing so they put a new kitchen in 429 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 18: or do up the bathroom where you're paying strata fees, 430 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 18: repairs rates and so on, you can claim that as 431 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 18: a big tax deduction, massive tax breaks for negative geared 432 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 18: properties if you spend more on the property than you 433 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 18: make and rent.

Labor has suggested, 441 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 18: ever so slightly that maybe reform to negative gearing would 442 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 18: be the way to go. 443 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 3: Sentiments dramatically turned against. 444 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 18: Old boomers like you know, like me, like other MPs 445 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 18: in the in the country, many of whom I mean 446 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 18: Peter Dutton's got about six or seven investment properties.

I don't get much care, but here's the thing, moron, 500 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 18: I am modern Australia. 501 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: I am contemporary Australia. 502 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 18: I was born overseas, but here I am making a 503 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 18: contribution to my community, as are so many other Aussies 504 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 18: and people like this, you know, defacing her electoral posters 505 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 18: honest to gre I mean, what would you do with them? 506 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: You just give them a belt and the bum. Wouldn't 507 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 3: you just say what morods would do that? 508 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 19: Yeah? 509 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 4: No, it's hard to explain in it is out now racism. 510 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 4: Judging by what's written on the billboards, mus listen, thank you, 511 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 4: I always really appreciated. That's Murray Olds, our Australia correspondent. 512 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 4: Of all of the education announcements today, I suspect that 513 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 4: this is one that's going to make the teachers even 514 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 4: more angry than the others and teaching unions. I should 515 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 4: be quite clear about that, because you can't speak on 516 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 4: behalf of all teachers. But the Education Minister, Erica Stanford, 517 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 4: has has announced that she is going to cut the 518 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 4: funding that has been set aside to teach teach teachers 519 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 4: how to speak toell and she's going to redivert that 520 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 4: funding to spend on maths resources. Now, that is going 521 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 4: to get people's backs up if you are feeling that 522 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 4: you're getting your back up, let me ask you this 523 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 4: question and just just have a think about this and 524 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 4: it might it might maybe make you decide whether you 525 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 4: want to get your back up about this or not. 526 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 4: Absolutely toil Mary is important and a second language is important. 527 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 4: But is a second language more important than mathematics? Very so? 528 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 4: As next quarter two. 529 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: Politics with centrics credit, check your customers and get payments certainty. 530 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 4: Very political corrosors together jump the gun. So what's the 531 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 4: Marti Party? 532 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 20: You had to say, well, you know, this is a 533 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 20: party that would said it would like harmonious race relations 534 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 20: in this country. And they put out what really is 535 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 20: an inflammatory statement under the name of rivalry way to 536 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 20: te the co leader of the party. It talks about 537 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 20: a new wave of colonization and the attacks on Maldi 538 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 20: and they list a number of things like throwing out 539 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 20: the smoke free targets, which they say sentenced more Maldi 540 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 20: to premature death. There was one answer to that, give 541 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 20: up smoking like many of us have done, aside stepping 542 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 20: the treaty with the fast track legislation that are rung 543 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 20: a tamariki changes. There they say they're stealing our Makapuna 544 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 20: extracting oil and gas. They say restoring three strikes. Well, 545 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 20: don't be bad boys building mega prison again, don't be 546 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 20: bad boys resurrecting boot camps again. Stop you know, play 547 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 20: play the rules in the country. So they've basically set 548 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 20: the scene for what went on in Parliament this afternoon, 549 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 20: and that was outside inside Parliament in the debating chamber. Now, 550 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 20: I've talked a lot about standards in the debating chamber 551 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 20: and we saw one of their Maldi MPs now before 552 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 20: the Privileges Committee, Takatu Ferris, who basically told lies in 553 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 20: the debating chamber. Now we've got another one not telling lies. 554 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 20: But Maria Meno Kapa King. She's the t Taitokora MP 555 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 20: and she beat Calvin Davis. This party has really made 556 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 20: a big comeback in the last election when you consider 557 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 20: the South Harland electorate, the Nau who are people? And 558 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 20: now this one in Te Taitokoro, Well, Kapakini, perhaps someone 559 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 20: should have told her how to ask an acceptable question 560 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 20: in parliament? 561 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 21: Does he agree that the actions of this government, of 562 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 21: his government constitute ethnicide, the deliberate and systematic whole health 563 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 21: just Paywa thirty systematic destruction of the culture of an 564 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 21: ethnic group. 565 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 22: It's outside the bounds of what would be reasonable inside 566 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 22: the house. There are other ways of asking a question. 567 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 21: Does he agree that the actions of this government constitute deculturation, 568 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 21: the deliberate and systemic, systematic destruction of culture, Magi culture. 569 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 22: That's not an order either. I'm inviting no member to 570 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 22: ask you a question in a different way, and I'm 571 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 22: sure you did that. 572 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 21: Does he agree that the actions of this government constitute 573 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 21: harm and poverty and such things that impact on mady? 574 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 20: Yeah, So the question was to a government minister. But 575 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 20: you know they said, well, they are doing their best 576 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 20: to appease Moldy in many ways, not just what has 577 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 20: been listed in the Statements of grievance by waited. 578 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 4: Tim Okay hate this UAE deal, big deal. 579 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 20: Well, you know, I initially thought it was the Gulf 580 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 20: States deal. Well, I remember, you know, traveling through with 581 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 20: John Key and going to places like Saudi Arabia and 582 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 20: the United Arab Emirates, and I remember at the end 583 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 20: of that them saying, well, a trade deal is virtually written. 584 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 20: All has to happen now is for the ink to 585 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 20: dry and the paper and for the translation from Arabic 586 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 20: to English, and we all thought this is fantastic because 587 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 20: if it was with the Golf States, it's enormous. This 588 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 20: is with the United Arab Emirates as a population of 589 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 20: around nine million people. It's good and nobody can deny that. 590 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 20: And they've done it in super quick time. But all 591 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 20: the groundwork was laid probably ten years ago when they 592 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 20: were negotiating with the Golf States, and that's the big 593 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 20: that's the big apple that we're after. This one is 594 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 20: really quite small beer. Nevertheless, it's good because at least 595 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 20: we've got a foothold in the Golf region and I 596 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 20: think that's probably very important. Even Labor in Parliament this 597 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 20: afternoon agreed that it was done in super quick time 598 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 20: and it was a good effort. 599 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it will by the sounds of things, it's 600 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 4: actually warming the GCC up. 601 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 20: Well that's the whole point, isn't it. Once they look 602 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 20: at that. But look believe it. Saudi Arabia is a 603 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 20: really difficult customer. And you'll remember the live sheep deal 604 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 20: and the farm and Saudi Arabia inside all that sort. 605 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 3: Of stuff that saw everything for you. 606 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 4: All about that Saudi sheet farm deal. Okay, Barry, thanks 607 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 4: very much.

I would say that you are wrong on that. 639 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 4: We obviously do not have adequate maths at school, given 640 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 4: the fact that fifty four percent of our kids in 641 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 4: the most recent exams failed maths. Let me just repeat 642 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 4: that for you, fifty four percent failed maths. We do 643 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 4: not do maths adequately. We need to put more resources 644 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 4: into maths. The question is where do you get it 645 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 4: from hither. I'm a secondary maths teucher, a teacher, and 646 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 4: I'm Maori. I Loveterdeo, but I support Erica Stanford cutting 647 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 4: funding to TEDEO or for teachers. There are plenty of 648 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 4: free courses around. That's from Joe Listen. It is I 649 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 4: can understand that people get upset about it. I get upset. 650 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 4: I get upset about this. I am so frustrated that 651 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 4: we're so monolingual in this country. I really am like, 652 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 4: it is so debilitating for our kids that they literally 653 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 4: can only speak one language in it English and this 654 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 4: is this is kids born in New Zealand, right. Migrant 655 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 4: kids don't have that problem. Migrant kids are coming here 656 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 4: with multiple languages and they're super smart as a result 657 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 4: of it. And it frustrates me endlessly. But but if 658 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 4: you have to pick between a language, a second language 659 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 4: for your child or maths, you've got to go for math's. 660 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 4: Maths is the one that's going to land them another job. 661 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 4: And you know, it's hard to it's hard to imagine 662 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 4: that learning Maori proficiently is going to have quite the 663 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 4: same impact on their lives unfortunately. Anyway, we'll talk to 664 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 4: Pat Newman about that after five o'clock, and then Chris 665 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 4: Bishop on what's going on with the Dunedin Hotel Hospital 666 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 4: Geez Hotel. The day you think it's a hotel stay 667 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 4: at the hospital is a day that you're really quite 668 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 4: do landly, isn't it. And then after that Buck Shelford 669 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 4: is going to be with us to tell us what 670 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 4: he makes of the old switcheroony body in for DMAC 671 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 4: and TJ. In mm hmm, get us take on it. 672 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 4: Newstalks b. 673 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 2: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 674 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: get the answers by the facts and give the analysis. 675 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 2: Heather due to see Alan Drive with One New Zealand 676 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 2: let's get connected and news talk as. 677 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 3: They'd be. 678 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 4: Good afternoon. A big crackdown today on truancy. Teacher only 679 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 4: days will no longer be allowed during term time and 680 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 4: parents will be prosecuted for continued absence of their kids. 681 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 4: Pat Newman is the spokesperson for that. I talk at 682 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 4: our Principles Association apat HI. 683 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: How are you good? 684 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 8: Thank you? 685 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 4: This is a good move, right. 686 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 3: Oh brilliant. 687 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 24: If you want to put something and it doesn't work 688 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 24: but sounds good politically. 689 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 4: What do you think is not going to work? 690 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 24: The whole concept that finding people is going to get 691 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 24: kids into schools? I mean, the cold hard reality is 692 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 24: that it's been tried, it's been on the box, it 693 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 24: hasn't worked. That's why it's not used. And by apping 694 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 24: the penalty, that's not really going to work a heck 695 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 24: of a lot either, because if you haven't got it, 696 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 24: you can't pay it, so the fine means nothing, unless, 697 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 24: of course, he's going to make Nath a prison big 698 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 24: enough and then put parents in there jal them if 699 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 24: they don't have their kids at school and they can't 700 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 24: afford to pay the fine. 701 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 4: What about the teacher only days only been during term time? 702 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 4: Are you okay with that? 703 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 24: Some people are referring to certain gentlemen as being an 704 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 24: educational megalomaniac. I of course would never say that, but 705 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 24: some people are because he hasn't got that authority. As indeed, 706 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 24: the authority, the authority the minister has is to say 707 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 24: you don't have to do your two hundred days, which 708 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 24: is the primary school one, that you can have a 709 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 24: teacher any day. He can say that all right. However, 710 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 24: if a school starts at a different time or anything 711 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 24: like that, we have days up our sleeve. We can 712 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 24: take those whenever we want to, and he has not 713 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 24: the authority to say no to that. 714 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 4: Are you talking about the fact that you have a 715 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 4: flexible start time and let's say at the start of 716 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 4: the year or whatever, and you might use those days 717 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 4: as teacher only days. 718 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 24: Yeah, well, we might do stuff and have kids back 719 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 24: for a trip in the holidays, or we could spend 720 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 24: a special course in the holidays and do five hours 721 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 24: a day on mathematics, and that would in the holiday 722 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 24: what was some term holiday time, and that would classify 723 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 24: us as school being open. 724 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 4: So how it's been explained to me is that the 725 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 4: Act actually says that these teacher only days actually should 726 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 4: be taken during the break time, and if they're going 727 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 4: to be taken during the term time, it is with 728 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 4: the sign off of the Ministry of Education. Is that correct? 729 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 24: Yes, that is education. That is sorry, that is correct, 730 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 24: And I'm not arguing that. What I am arguing is 731 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 24: that we are only required by law to be open 732 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 24: for two hundred school days yet, so therefore, if we 733 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 24: have stuff done in the holidays, then we can actually 734 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 24: not do the two hundred or we can do extra 735 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 24: teacher any days. 736 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I see what you're saying. You've got power 737 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 4: of your own. What do you make of taking the 738 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 4: money out of the teacher training for Terrell and putting 739 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 4: it into maths. 740 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 24: Of all of the things that this government is intending 741 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 24: to do, this is probably the most appalling and deplorable 742 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 24: actions I have ever heard and ever come out. And 743 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 24: I never thought i'd hear at the New Zealand and 744 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 24: I've got to think about other countries like the Inuits 745 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 24: in Canada, where the same sort of stuff has been done. 746 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 24: I look here as appalling. I don't know whether the 747 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 24: Minister Seemore thinks at all that the teacher has to 748 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 24: do is to be able to pronounce the child's name 749 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 24: correctly and that's all that matters. Every bit of research, 750 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 24: every bit of educational knowledge that I have, and I 751 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 24: think it might be a bit more than mister Seymour's, 752 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 24: and even the current ministers says that what they have 753 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 24: done is educationally and morally. 754 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 4: Role Pat, thank you for your time. Pat Newman spokesperson 755 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 4: put that I talk at our Principles Association. 756 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: Heather Duper See Ellen, that's your drawing. 757 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 4: Board for the new de Needin Hospital. Governments Commission to 758 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 4: report that's found that the plans cannot be delivered for 759 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 4: the one point eight eight billion dollar there is budgeted 760 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 4: more realistic price tag where around three billion bucks in 761 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 4: the government says that is completely unaffordable. The Infrastructure Minister 762 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 4: is Chris Bishop ha Bish Hello, okay, so what are 763 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 4: you planning to do? Are you are you going to 764 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 4: cut this down? Are you going to make it a 765 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 4: smaller thing? Or are you just going to build it 766 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 4: bit by bit by bit. 767 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 25: We're going to take advice from Health New Zealand on that, 768 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,280 Speaker 25: but what's clear is that we can't deliver a hospital 769 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 25: at the cost that it's going to come in at. 770 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 25: We're looking at a three billion dollar bilt. It started 771 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 25: life as one point two one point four billion back 772 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 25: in twenty seven. The current project funding is one point 773 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 25: five to nine billion. We tipped in another two hundred 774 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 25: and ninety earlier in the year and we've now got 775 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 25: the latest pricing in from the contractor and it's hundreds 776 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 25: of millions of dollars over that, and it turns out 777 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 25: that there's four hundred million bucks that no one even 778 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 25: thought about, and the last government didn't even do business 779 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 25: cases for all of those other things that are required. 780 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 25: So you're looking at the thick end of three billion bucks. Frankly, 781 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 25: we need to think about the trade offs here. There 782 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 25: are hospital facilities around the country and Hawk's Bay, Pami Toron, 783 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 25: Fong Ray Nelson. Those regions need upgrades as well, they 784 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 25: need maintenance and they need CAPEX going into them. If 785 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 25: we spend three billion dollars on a hospital for Dunedin, 786 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 25: it potentially comes at risk of those projects, so we 787 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 25: do have to try and deliver it for the one 788 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 25: point eight eight billion we've set that as a cap. 789 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 25: There's two options on the table. One is that we 790 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 25: revised the current project within its existing structural envelope that's 791 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 25: on the new site. 792 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 8: That could look at reducing the. 793 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 25: Number of floors, delaying the fit out of some of 794 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 25: the areas, or identify own some services that could be 795 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 25: retained on the existing hospital site. Second options, we do 796 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 25: a stage development on the old hospital site and we've 797 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 25: asked for advice on that and once we've got some 798 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 25: clarity on the next steps, we'll make that public. 799 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,479 Speaker 4: What's going on here? Is the contract taking the mickey 800 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 4: or is this just what it costs to build a hospital. 801 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 25: Look, the history of this project is a troubled one 802 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 25: and it goes back to twenty seventeen twenty eighteen. The 803 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 25: new site, the old Cadbury site has significant issues. So 804 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 25: there's contaminated ground issues, there's piling difficulties, flood level risk, 805 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 25: it's surrounded by three state highways, it's got an extremely 806 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 25: constrained construction site. So since the twenty seventeen business case, 807 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 25: the original one the cost per square meter to build 808 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 25: it has gone up by two hundred percent, so it's 809 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 25: ten thousand bucks a square meter back in twenty seventeen, 810 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 25: it's now thirty thousand dollars a square meter, and that 811 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 25: is largely down to the site selection which was done back. 812 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 8: In twenty eighteen. So look, we are where we are. 813 00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 8: We're just trying to be. 814 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 25: As upfront and trans parent with the people of Duneda 815 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 25: and in fact the people of New Zealand about this project. 816 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 25: It's been troubled for quite some time. We've been shocked 817 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 25: upon coming to government at just how troubled the project 818 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 25: is and what we need to do is be as 819 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 25: upfront and transparent as possible. So Shane Read and I 820 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 25: went down to Dunedin today. We met with all the 821 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 25: mayors and the local leadership, we met with the clinical 822 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 25: leadership there, we met with the hospital team down there. 823 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 25: We've been as completely transparent as possible. We've released the 824 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 25: independent report that we have commissioned into the project, and 825 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,720 Speaker 25: the people have to need a need honesty. The projects 826 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 25: in trouble and it's now our job to get it 827 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 25: back on track. 828 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 4: Besh, thank you very much for your time. I appreciate 829 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 4: it and good luck. That's Chris Bishop, the Infrastructure. 830 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: Minister, Heather du for Sels. 831 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 4: It sounds like there might be breakthrough with the Israel 832 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 4: Lebanon situation and maybe a cease fire deal coming. Senior 833 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 4: US officials have said they expect a cease fire deal 834 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 4: to be implemented in the coming hours along the Israel 835 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 4: Lebanon border. This is very very clearly only about that 836 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 4: northern Border's got nothing to do with Gaza, so there's 837 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 4: no cease fire deal for Gaza. Here. Ceasefire will be 838 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 4: for twenty one days along the Blue Line, which is 839 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 4: the demarcation line that divides Lebanon from Israel and the 840 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 4: Golden Heights, And in those twenty one days, the hope 841 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 4: is that they will use that to negotiate towards a 842 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 4: potential resolution of the conflict that by the way, you 843 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 4: may not remember this, but it has been going on 844 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 4: since October eighth last year. Lebanon has been hurl in 845 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 4: the old missiles and the rockets at Israel this whole time. 846 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 4: So hence what's going on. We're gonna have a chat 847 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 4: next to buck Shelford quarter past. I'm gonna get to 848 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 4: the text on pat because like I'm in an thick 849 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 4: and fast and just to Ticke it's eighteen past five now. 850 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 4: The All Blacks have made three changes to the back 851 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 4: line for Saturday's final home test of the year. Body 852 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 4: gets the nod at ten, so dmac is out, TJ 853 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 4: starts at half back and then Antoine Lennet Brown will 854 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 4: play at second five. Buck Shelford is a former All 855 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 4: Blacks captain, is with us now, Hey, Buck, Hi, how 856 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 4: are you very well? Thank you? 857 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 10: Do you reckon? 858 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 4: Body's the right call here? 859 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 2: Oh? 860 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 10: Well, we're gonna I think they're trying to mix it 861 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 10: up and trying to get the combinations that they want 862 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 10: to see, see something something different and maybe in the 863 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 10: attack side about things, Body might do a bit different 864 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 10: but compared to them, Yeah. 865 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 4: Do you think that d mac has cooked his goose? 866 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 10: Well, he's got another chance. I think he's a very 867 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 10: good higher. But it's you know, when you're playing, when 868 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 10: you're playing at that level, there at some time to 869 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 10: wait because you probably have more time at the lower 870 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 10: level compared to being you know, playing chess bats rocks, 871 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 10: you don't have as much time. And the thing is 872 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,879 Speaker 10: he has time when he flays the chiefs and things 873 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 10: like that, and he's just going to get used to, 874 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 10: you know, reacting faster, and I think he needs to 875 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 10: stand up a deeper all those sort of things. 876 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then the TJ decision. Is this a sentimental 877 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 4: thing because this is his last game in Wellington? 878 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 10: Do you think? Well, it could be and you know something, 879 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 10: as I thought, he played pretty well when he come 880 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 10: on last week. But you know, he's been a good 881 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 10: servant to the brand and I think that he deserves 882 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 10: it a start. 883 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 4: What about Mark t Leah, what's going on here? 884 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 10: Well, Mark's a different kettle of fisher. We've got so 885 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 10: many good wings at the moment and possibly, you know, 886 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 10: there might be doing a little bit of rotation, just 887 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 10: trying different things out. Yeah, I'm not quite sure that 888 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 10: I haven't seen the whole team, but I was standing 889 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 10: that they need to win again for us, you know 890 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 10: all what, but all what like how they played last 891 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 10: week the first forty match, I want to see that 892 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 10: for a whole game, you know. 893 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, oh hear, yeah, I think we all do. Thank 894 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 4: you so much for your time. I really appreciated about 895 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 4: Shelford form All Blacks captain. Sorry about the quality of 896 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 4: the line there was. It was obviously a but windy 897 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,439 Speaker 4: where he was probably in Wellington ahead of the game. 898 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 4: Here that that bloke Pat Newman sounds very reluctant to 899 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 4: change from the status quo, but he's ignoring the fact 900 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 4: that the system that he supports is failing our kids badly. 901 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 4: He and people like him have had their chance. Look, 902 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 4: that's a fair point from Dave. What it is very 903 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 4: hard and I feel like the teachers and particularly the 904 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 4: teacher Union need to reflect on this. Right if you 905 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 4: don't like the changes that are being made, tell us 906 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 4: that the existing the status quo is better, and we 907 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 4: will point you to the exam results and tell you 908 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 4: that no, it's not. So it's very hard to defend 909 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 4: the ground as it stands. Do you know what I mean? 910 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 19: Like it? 911 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 4: If you want to continue to sound like you support 912 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,800 Speaker 4: mediocretly keep complaining about it is kind of where that 913 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 4: really backed into a corner on this one. Hither I 914 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,359 Speaker 4: agree a second language would be good, but in that case, 915 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,879 Speaker 4: can we pick a useful one? Now this is where 916 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 4: I disagree with you. I think any second language is 917 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 4: better than no second language because what it does is 918 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 4: opens neurological pathways in the kids' heads. So that if you, 919 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 4: if you grow up and at age twenty five you 920 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 4: can speak a second language, learning a third, or fourth 921 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 4: or a fifth as persez after that you can only 922 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 4: speak one language, No hope and how you're going to 923 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 4: be fighting all your life. So I don't care what 924 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 4: the second language is, as long as there's a second language. 925 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 4: Five twenty one. 926 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 2: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather Duper Clan 927 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 2: drive with one New Zealand let's get connected and use dog. 928 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 4: Said, hither, how arrogance? The texts keep coming. Hither our arrogant? 929 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 19: Was that? 930 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 18: Man? 931 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 4: What's appalling is the dismal level of maths currently in 932 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 4: our schools. That's from Craig. Look, I appreciate a strongly 933 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,439 Speaker 4: held opinion. It's just the wrong opinion, isn't it. Five 934 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,239 Speaker 4: twenty four. I'm taking some heart, okay today, from the 935 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 4: fact that the bosses at the Warehouse Group realize how 936 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 4: much trouble they're in the chair, who I have got 937 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 4: a huge amount of respect for. Joan Withers has described 938 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 4: the result that they put out today as unacceptable and 939 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 4: a poor financial performance, but then again to be fair, 940 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 4: it's pretty hard to miss how much trouble they're actually 941 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 4: and given they just posted a fifty two million dollar loss, 942 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 4: so I imagine then that's kind of staring them in 943 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 4: the face, isn't it. I've no idea how the Warehouse 944 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 4: is going to turn this around. I mean, I think 945 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 4: getting rid of the previous chief executive as a start. 946 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 4: But they have got a major lot of problems on 947 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 4: their hands. It's not just one, it's multiple, and it's 948 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 4: just my experience tells me that, right Just my experience 949 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 4: tells me that there is multiple issues going on here. 950 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 4: So I'm gonna tell you about my experience in the 951 00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,439 Speaker 4: last year with the various brands that they've got suit 952 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 4: the Warehouse the primary brand. It's fine. I've got a 953 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 4: lot of love for the Warehouse, but the fact is 954 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 4: Kmart's cooler. I mean, you want to go buy a 955 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 4: pair of Kiddy's shoes for twelve bucks that they can 956 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 4: just break on the scooter and who cares about them? 957 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 4: I checked out both the Warehouse and Kmart. I went 958 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,280 Speaker 4: to Kmart because it was the same price, but Kmart 959 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 4: had much cooler stuff. There's a problem for the Warehouse 960 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 4: right there. That is a massive consumer base that they 961 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 4: are losing consistently to Kmart. 962 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: Noel Leming. 963 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,360 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, rubbish service. Rubbish service, you want to 964 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,919 Speaker 4: see rubbish service going to no Leming. My husband tried 965 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 4: to buy me a watch from a birthday. The other 966 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 4: day was last week, right, So he went in and 967 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 4: he asked them to help him find an electronic watch 968 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,880 Speaker 4: that could be paired with the phone that was waterproof 969 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 4: so I could go surfing with it. They didn't know 970 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 4: which watches were waterproof, so as a result, I had 971 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 4: my birthday eight days ago, I still haven't got a watch. 972 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 4: I do ontally care who cares, but I had to 973 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 4: google for him what watch was waterproof? By the way, 974 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 4: Noel Leming, It's the Apple Watch, just the most famous one. 975 00:46:59,360 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 24: Right that stuff. 976 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 4: I try to buy myself a vacuum cleaner Dyson recently 977 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 4: as a treat. I went onto not All Leming's website. 978 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 4: Had to call to double check because the store said 979 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 4: they only had one and I wanted to make sure 980 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 4: they did actually have one. They never called me back, 981 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 4: so I just bought it from Dyson online for about 982 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 4: one hundred bucks cheaper directly Torpedo seven, which they sold 983 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 4: for a dollar. We called them ages ago, months and 984 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 4: months and months ago to see if we could get 985 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 4: a replacement battery charger for the electric bike because the 986 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 4: thing was broken. They said they don't have battery charges anymore. 987 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 4: A few weeks ago, my husband met one of the 988 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 4: guys who actually has bought Torpedo seven from the warehouse. 989 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 4: He gave my husband two battery charges, so they did 990 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 4: still have the battery charges. Now that's not just one problem, 991 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 4: that's multiple problems. And I just do not know how 992 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 4: the warehouse turns this business around. 993 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,720 Speaker 1: To ever do for Cee Ellen. So anyway, we're. 994 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 4: Going to talk to the interim chief executive. He's going 995 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 4: to be of us after the news. Listen. Quick PSA 996 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 4: to you is that from the start of next year, 997 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 4: I'm not going to be here anymore. Now, don't worry 998 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,360 Speaker 4: about it. I'm coming back. I'm just gonna have a baby, 999 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 4: aren't I just going to take a little break, have 1000 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 4: a baby, just pop one out, maybe just rocket for 1001 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 4: the first three months or so, you know, do all 1002 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 4: of that stuff, and then I'll come back to work. 1003 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,320 Speaker 4: So yes, obviously, what I'm trying to say is I'm pregnant. 1004 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 4: This is not as excited. I tell you. What's not 1005 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 4: as exciting as the first one is the first one 1006 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 4: you're like, oh my lord, I'm pregnant, the most wonderful 1007 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 4: and glorious experience. The second one you're like, oh dear God, 1008 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 4: I need some sleep. This is uncomfortable. I can't even 1009 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 4: I am twenty three weeks. I can't even bend down 1010 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 4: and tie my shoelaces. This is a crime that this 1011 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,200 Speaker 4: is done to women's bodies. But anyway, whatever, glorious and 1012 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 4: happy and kicking at the moment, and it's a weak girl. 1013 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 4: So that's nice, isn't it. So we get one of each. 1014 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 4: How about that little Eggy's going to be a big 1015 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 4: brother to a little one. So I can't give you 1016 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 4: any information on who's going to be filling in for 1017 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 4: the first three months of next year. Got absolutely no idea. Frankly, 1018 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 4: don't care. You're on your own. I'm going to have 1019 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 4: bigger problems on my hand, but then I'll be back, 1020 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 4: don't worry about it. News talks 'd be you. 1021 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 1: The day's newsmakers.

I mean, of all things to specialize, and 1028 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 4: that's what he specializes. In fact, he's writing his PhD 1029 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 4: thesis on it, so he's got some really interesting insights 1030 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,839 Speaker 4: into it and actually understands quite a bit. I'm gonna 1031 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 4: un you through some of that before we have a 1032 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 4: chat to the Trade Minister after six o'clock.

I didn't know this until I read these messages. 1035 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 4: If you have a boy and a girl and that's it, 1036 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 4: it's called a pigeon pair. So who knew? Huddles with 1037 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 4: us next twenty four away from. 1038 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,799 Speaker 1: Six, Heather do for CLO Now. 1039 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 4: It was a bit of a blood bath for the 1040 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 4: Warehouse today. The group announced a fifty four million dollar 1041 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 4: loss for the year. The chair, Joan Withers, has described 1042 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 4: it as unacceptable. Jean June is the interim chief executive 1043 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 4: at the Warehouse Group and with us now, Hey, John Hi, 1044 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 4: Heather Jones says it's unacceptable. 1045 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,840 Speaker 19: What do you say, totally agree. 1046 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 7: We're certainly not where we need to be and the 1047 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 7: result is a poor performance. 1048 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 4: What's gone wrong? Do you think. 1049 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 7: Part of it is strategy and part of its execution. 1050 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 7: We had a strategy set about five years ago that 1051 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,280 Speaker 7: was in hindsight to ambitious and also distracted us from 1052 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 7: looking after our core brands at the level of detail 1053 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 7: that we need. 1054 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 4: To so core brand being obviously the warehouse. What needs 1055 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 4: to change at the warehouse? 1056 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,800 Speaker 7: Do you think, sorry, what was that head? 1057 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 4: What needs to change at the warehouse? 1058 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 7: We need to get better more often. You know, we 1059 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 7: get it right most of the time. We need to 1060 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 7: get it right all the time. And that's the difference 1061 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 7: in retail retails detail customers notice when you get your 1062 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 7: detail wrong and we've dropped the ball on. 1063 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 4: That, that is that like if you've got is it 1064 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 4: quality problems? Is it coolness problems? What is it? 1065 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,840 Speaker 7: It's the small things that make a difference. He You know, basically, 1066 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,839 Speaker 7: when you're in retail, you have to get everything right. 1067 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 7: And we've got things right that we were focusing on, 1068 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 7: but we missed the ball on the areas we weren't 1069 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 7: focusing on We had moved more of our range in 1070 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:39,600 Speaker 7: the warehouse to continuity, daily essentials, everyday needs, and that's 1071 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 7: an important part of the offer, and customers are loving 1072 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,479 Speaker 7: for us for that part of the range. But that's 1073 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 7: not all they wanted from us. They wanted newness, excitement, trend, coolness, keenness, 1074 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 7: and we used to give them that in spades, and 1075 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 7: when we moved into the sort of trying to be 1076 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 7: earnest about our core essentials, which is really important, we 1077 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,879 Speaker 7: lost that excitement, we lost the emphasis and the other 1078 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 7: parts of what people wanted from us, and that's what 1079 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 7: we've recognized as one of the core turnaround fixes that 1080 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,880 Speaker 7: we need to do. We've already started on that, but 1081 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 7: unfortunately it takes a while for that product to show 1082 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 7: up in store, so it's only just showing up now. 1083 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 7: But when it is showing up, our customers are loving it. 1084 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 7: You know, they've been really disappointed that we haven't given 1085 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 7: it to them before. Just like you said before, you 1086 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 7: would expect us to do it. We didn't do it 1087 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 7: for you. Our customers are saying the same on a 1088 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 7: number of lines. But again, when we get it back 1089 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,759 Speaker 7: in stock, they go yay, you're back. We love it 1090 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 7: because we've got ninety two million people visiting our stores 1091 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,360 Speaker 7: every year. They really want us to be back in 1092 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 7: the game we used to be. They want us to be, 1093 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 7: and we're determined to be back in there. 1094 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 4: Like a bad boyfriend day. We want to love you, 1095 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 4: but you should make me at house with the warehouse. 1096 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 7: What about we're the one that got awaid? 1097 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 4: Is that right? A positive spin on it? What's going 1098 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 4: wrong with then? 1099 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 7: Knowles has actually performed the strongest through the period we've 1100 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 7: been distracted, so their model is quite strong. I heard 1101 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 7: before that you've had some service issues. That's disappointing. It 1102 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 7: is not the general experience we get from our customers. 1103 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 7: They are at promoter score, which is the measure of 1104 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 7: our customer satisfaction, is the highest in a no Lemming brand, 1105 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,279 Speaker 7: and they are the market leader, and through a tough time, 1106 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 7: they've actually held their market share and held their customer 1107 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 7: base the best of our all three brands. But even 1108 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 7: they have suffered a little bit around the group distractions, 1109 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 7: around the bigger picture that the ecosystem strategy, so they 1110 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 7: weren't spending all their time on what mattered to no 1111 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 7: Leaming customers. And it's those little things that make a difference. 1112 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 7: The fact that we should have had the staff member 1113 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,879 Speaker 7: knowing which apple which watch was waterproof. You know, that 1114 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,479 Speaker 7: is what we do. That is something that we pride 1115 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 7: ourselves in basic Our teams proudly call themselves passionate experts. 1116 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,800 Speaker 7: So I spent a lot of time on product knowledge 1117 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 7: and learning about that products. You know, whether that was 1118 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 7: an isolated example, we've got the wrong person on the 1119 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 7: wrong day, but that doesn't really matter to you or 1120 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 7: your husband that got the wrong advice. 1121 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 4: I don't even have a watch John for my birthday. 1122 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 7: Now, and I'm gusted. 1123 00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 3: I worry. 1124 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,360 Speaker 4: I know how to use the internet.

You know, there are hundreds 1154 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 26: and hundreds of people there to have crushed into that place. 1155 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,799 Speaker 26: I know it's a new player on the block and 1156 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,279 Speaker 26: people like to try the you know, the latest new 1157 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 26: thing going in retail. But the fact is that it's 1158 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,439 Speaker 26: a very competitive market now. That sort of low price 1159 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,240 Speaker 26: chain market, and I guess the warehouse is also feeling 1160 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,919 Speaker 26: a bit of that pressure. Was it was interesting John 1161 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 26: didn't touch on that, but but but surely that has 1162 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,320 Speaker 26: to be a factor that there are other players coming 1163 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 26: into that part of the market. 1164 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that he probably doesn't want to have to say 1165 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:03,959 Speaker 4: their names out loud and remind exist Nick, what about you? 1166 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,360 Speaker 4: Do you still go to the Warehouse? 1167 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 1: No? 1168 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 27: Not not really, And you know, I think it's a 1169 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 27: shame because it's a New Zealand institution and a New 1170 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 27: Zealand success story. Really, but look, you do have to 1171 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,719 Speaker 27: think that online shopping things like Timu are really having 1172 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,360 Speaker 27: a big impact on the retail sector, and not just 1173 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,759 Speaker 27: at the top end either, And that's I think what 1174 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 27: we're seeing here. So I mean the question will be, 1175 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 27: and this is the great commercial challenges. Can it reinvent itself? 1176 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 27: And obviously they're backing themselves to be able to try 1177 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 27: and turn things around them and good luck to them. 1178 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I really hope they're able to. Mike, what do 1179 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,880 Speaker 4: you make of the government crackdown on truancy? 1180 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:44,319 Speaker 20: Uh? 1181 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 26: Well, look, these punitive measures just sort of don't they 1182 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 26: They don't work and they won't work I've been tried elsewhere. 1183 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,240 Speaker 8: It's a very complex problem, this truancy, and when. 1184 00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 26: You sort of look online, you know there's other countries 1185 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 26: and stuff the same trends. Australia, Great Britain, even dear 1186 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,239 Speaker 26: old Japan, where people you know, we're etiquette and sort 1187 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,880 Speaker 26: of rules based, following the rules is very very important, 1188 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 26: they're also suffering the same issues. I just think that 1189 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,920 Speaker 26: there's got to be more of a of a multi 1190 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,760 Speaker 26: agency approach to what's a very complex problem slapping fines 1191 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 26: on people who don't send their kids to school. I mean, one, 1192 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:25,800 Speaker 26: the fine is not probably not going to be paid, 1193 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,960 Speaker 26: But how's that going to change their behavior? And how's 1194 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,120 Speaker 26: it going to change their attitude? I just think it's 1195 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 26: more it's a more complex issue than. 1196 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 4: That, you know, like I think, is it about It's 1197 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 4: not really about the daar pearance, right, the Darrow parents 1198 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 4: are never going to send their kids to school. They 1199 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 4: don't give an ath, they're not going to pay the fines. 1200 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 4: Is this not about the middle class parents who thinks 1201 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 4: it's okay to fly to Fiji for a week in 1202 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 4: school holidays, who might go. I actually know I should 1203 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,720 Speaker 4: Actually you shouldn't do it. 1204 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 8: I don't disagree with that. I think it is partly 1205 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:54,080 Speaker 8: about that. 1206 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 26: I think I think we're suffering the consequences of what 1207 00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 26: happened during the COVID years, where you know, schools closed 1208 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 26: for a long time, the months of school closures. In fact, 1209 00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 26: twenty and twenty one, we've had teacher strikes where teachers 1210 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:09,880 Speaker 26: not in the classrooms and the kids are at home 1211 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 26: for often one. 1212 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 8: Two, three days. So I just think it's sort of 1213 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 8: scene now as okay to have the kids out of 1214 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 8: school for a while. 1215 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,400 Speaker 26: Yeah, there's just been a bit of a change in 1216 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,720 Speaker 26: thinking around that from maybe a generation ago. 1217 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Nick, I want you to take we'll do it. 1218 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 4: We'll get it from you. After the break. It's call 1219 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 4: to two, right, and you're back with a huddle, Nick 1220 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 4: Leagan and Mike Munroe. Nick, what do you make of 1221 00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 4: the crackdown on the truancy. 1222 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 27: Well, look, I think that we know that the longer 1223 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:40,880 Speaker 27: kids spend in schools, the better they perform academically and socially, 1224 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 27: and prosecution will be rare. So I think what the 1225 00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 27: governor has done is to say, hey, look, this is 1226 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 27: a combined effort to ensure that we get the best 1227 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 27: education outcomes for our kids. And you know, there's an 1228 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,560 Speaker 27: expectation that society has that schools will play their part 1229 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 27: and that parents will play their part too, helping sure 1230 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 27: that share they get there. 1231 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 4: I'm seeing this Nick a little bit more, you know. 1232 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 4: I mean, these are rules that exist already, right Teacher 1233 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 4: only days should be taken in the breaks. There are 1234 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,200 Speaker 4: finds existing for parents. It's not like he's introducing new rules. 1235 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 4: He's only threatening to enforce them. And it feels to 1236 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 4: me like it's just resetting the very thing that Mike 1237 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 4: was talking about before, which is a complacency about education. 1238 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,439 Speaker 19: It's just reminded you got to go yeah, yeah, yeah. 1239 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 27: I think I think Mike was right, and we do 1240 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 27: need you know, at times we relax. We all relax, 1241 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 27: don't we we eat too much, or we don't exercise, 1242 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 27: or we let standard slip in some of our public systems. 1243 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 27: And so that's what is happening here. The government's just 1244 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 27: stepping up and saying, look, we're going to take this 1245 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 27: a little bit. 1246 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 19: More seriously and enforce the rules. 1247 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 27: And I think that will be you know that I 1248 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,960 Speaker 27: think the results will begin to speak for themselves after 1249 00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 27: a certain amount of time. 1250 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 4: What do we do Mike about Dunedin Hospital, Well. 1251 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 26: It works underway, it's happening. The outpatients building is understand 1252 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 26: it is well advanced and we'll be open by twenty 1253 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 26: twenty six. 1254 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,360 Speaker 8: They've got to push on and finish it. 1255 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:07,360 Speaker 26: Look, I think this government government's discovering hither that you know, 1256 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,720 Speaker 26: running sound. You know, first world public services costs a 1257 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 26: huge amount of money and they go around with all 1258 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 26: the chest beating bravado about slashing billions off spending. Well, 1259 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 26: when you do that, it costs somewhere and you'll end 1260 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 26: up having to trim public services or not go ahead 1261 01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 26: with some public services. 1262 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,800 Speaker 8: And I think this is an example of that happening. 1263 01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 26: The hospitals should be built on the basis of of 1264 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 26: clinical needs, not where Nicola Willis thinks a spending cap 1265 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 26: should be set. 1266 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1267 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,400 Speaker 4: Do you know what's gone wrong here, Nick? Why it's 1268 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 4: blown out quite to the extent it has. 1269 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 27: Well, the first thing I'd say is it's not because 1270 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 27: the government's imposed to spending cap that this project has 1271 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,160 Speaker 27: blown out. And yeah, I mean I think that probably 1272 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 27: the structure of the project from the start wasn't great. 1273 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 27: I mean this is this is a much bigger question. 1274 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 27: I mean, it's obviously a big problem for a big 1275 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 27: challenge for Otago and Dunedin, and we all want that. 1276 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 27: We all want there to be a decent hospital service 1277 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,880 Speaker 27: therein for the southern part of New Zealand. But why 1278 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 27: why does New Zealand get this wrong? We've seem to 1279 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 27: be failing our major projects. We used to be innovative 1280 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,920 Speaker 27: and smart and things have slipped and so yeah, this 1281 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 27: is going to be the most expensive hospital per bed 1282 01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,800 Speaker 27: ever built in Australasia. Now, I think we all want 1283 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:31,280 Speaker 27: really high quality public services, but actually we shouldn't be 1284 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 27: aiming for the most expensive. We've got to cut our 1285 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 27: cloth and so we need to examine ourselves more broadly. 1286 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 27: It is not MICA's right. It's not just about cutting 1287 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 27: costs of the bone, but it is about extracting more 1288 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 27: value for the money we spend. 1289 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 19: And I think every care we would expect that. 1290 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough, Hey Mike, Okay, what about Hastings District 1291 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 4: Council giving the non elected youth councilor's voting rights in 1292 01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:57,760 Speaker 4: five hundred bucks per meeting. 1293 01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 26: On the financial side of it, I've got no problem 1294 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 26: with that. These youth councils are performing an important role 1295 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 26: and making decisions or help make decisions around the well 1296 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 26: being and mental health sort of issues for young people. 1297 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,880 Speaker 26: I mean, councilors and willing in an Auckland get about 1298 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 26: one hundred k year, I understand, So five hundred dollars 1299 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 26: a meeting to me sounds a very sort of minor payment. Look, 1300 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,320 Speaker 26: I'm all in favor of giving the younger voice in 1301 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 26: terms of their voting rights. You know, there's any number 1302 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 26: of people now who sort of have a say in 1303 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,920 Speaker 26: the affairs of our cities via their councils. And I'm 1304 01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 26: talking here about the management teams and the chief executives 1305 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 26: who are putting putting up ideas and proposals which are 1306 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 26: effectively just getting rougher stamped by counsels. 1307 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 8: So I don't, I don't. I don't have any. 1308 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 26: Difficult at all with the idea of these young people 1309 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 26: having a say about services that affect Then. 1310 01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 4: I hate everything you're saying. 1311 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 27: What do you say, Nick, Well, somebody is somebody. I 1312 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 27: got elected to a council when I was nineteen. 1313 01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, so elected. 1314 01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,440 Speaker 27: Yeah, no, No, that's that's the point I'm making. And 1315 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,240 Speaker 27: actually it's easier for young people to get elected these 1316 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,040 Speaker 27: days than it ever has been. So no, I take 1317 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 27: a pretty dim view. I think that I mean youth. Obviously, 1318 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 27: I believe that youth participation is important and should be encouraged. 1319 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,000 Speaker 27: But I think voting rights is a step too far 1320 01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:28,440 Speaker 27: because what we we have, you know, we've got a 1321 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 27: bit complacent, you know, about democracy, and we've seem to 1322 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 27: be prepared to erode it. We elect a council to 1323 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 27: make decisions on behalf of a community and resource the 1324 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 27: youth council, get them involved. But the truth is that 1325 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 27: a couple of young people on a committee of council 1326 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,160 Speaker 27: not going to represent young people effectively. 1327 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:48,800 Speaker 19: Anyway, not at all. 1328 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 6: I'm sorry, and I. 1329 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 27: Say that with twenty five years of experience. 1330 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,720 Speaker 4: Apologize to me, Nick at all. You made my frown 1331 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,160 Speaker 4: turn upside down. Love it. Thank you very much.

Listen the UAE FTA. Okay, so this 1364 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 4: is interesting from Jeffrey Miller, who's done a little bit 1365 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 4: of analysis on this. He's done an Official Information Act 1366 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 4: at request and found out that actually the UAE asked 1367 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 4: US for an FTA, a free trade agreement, all the 1368 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 4: way back in November twenty twenty one, but apparently New 1369 01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 4: Zealand initially played hard to get, offering only holding responses 1370 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 4: noting that we remain focus on concluding negotiations with the 1371 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 4: GCC as a whole, which is to say, had the 1372 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,920 Speaker 4: durn government and then the Hipkins government actually wanted to 1373 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 4: sign this deal, they may have been able to, but 1374 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,439 Speaker 4: they they played hard to get. Why would you play 1375 01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:09,880 Speaker 4: hard to get? 1376 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:10,280 Speaker 3: Anyway? 1377 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,280 Speaker 4: Never mind? And then apparently also part of the attraction 1378 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,560 Speaker 4: for US as investment opportunities in our infrastructure because the 1379 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,920 Speaker 4: UAE is home to three of the world's biggest sovereign 1380 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,440 Speaker 4: wealth funds, so that may explain why we really want 1381 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:26,200 Speaker 4: this trade Minister Tom McLay Next. 1382 01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:34,240 Speaker 2: We're Business Insight the Business Hour. 1383 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:39,440 Speaker 1: We'd headed due to c Allen and my hr on NEWSGSB. 1384 01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:44,120 Speaker 4: Even and coming up in the next hour and talk 1385 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,520 Speaker 4: to Liam Dan about the warehouse, Jamie McKay about the 1386 01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,640 Speaker 4: Fonterra results, and Sam Dickey about the dominance on the 1387 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,920 Speaker 4: computer chip market of the company Intel. Right now, it's 1388 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 4: coming up eight past six. Now New Zealand has struck 1389 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 4: its fastest ever free trade deal with the United Arab Emirates, 1390 01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 4: as in the fastest we're ever done, and it happens 1391 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,840 Speaker 4: to be with the UAE. The deal will lift duties 1392 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 4: on ninety eight point five percent of New Zealand's exports immediately. 1393 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,200 Speaker 4: That will rise to ninety nine percent within three years. 1394 01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 4: And the deal was all done within four months after 1395 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,600 Speaker 4: the negotiations first started in May. The Trade Minister is 1396 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 4: Todd mclayey. Todd, Hey, Heather, how are you, Jim welthin? 1397 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 4: How did you manage to do it this quickly? 1398 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 7: Well? 1399 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:20,760 Speaker 19: Two things. 1400 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 30: I first met with the UA Trade Minister in January 1401 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 30: of this year end of January, and I raised the 1402 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 30: prospect of a trade deal and said that I'd go 1403 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 30: home and talk to my Prime minister, but we're going 1404 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 30: to do one, let's be serious. I was back just 1405 01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 30: about a month later when he hosted the Trade Minster 1406 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 30: meeting and I was one of his vice chairs there 1407 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 30: and we made a commitment together then that if we 1408 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 30: were going to do this, let's try and do it 1409 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 30: the fastest that has been done and one of the 1410 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 30: most ambitious, and said, you know, why don't we try 1411 01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:53,440 Speaker 30: and do everything entry into fourth on day one, and 1412 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 30: we've been sweating and working on negotiators hard for four months, 1413 01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 30: including the UAE so holiday, and today we've announced it. 1414 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 30: And this is really good news for New Zealand exporters. 1415 01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 30: It's actually good for every single sector in New Zealand. 1416 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 30: There are huge opportunities in that market that's just growing 1417 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 30: for us. 1418 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 4: How much smaller is this FTA than an FTA with 1419 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:15,520 Speaker 4: the GCC. 1420 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,759 Speaker 19: Well, our trade with the UAE. 1421 01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,040 Speaker 30: We sell them at one point one billion dollars worth 1422 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,719 Speaker 30: of goods every year. Majority of that about seven hundred 1423 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,680 Speaker 30: million is dairy. Our trade with Saudi, which is the 1424 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,960 Speaker 30: largest country there is about the same size. So this 1425 01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:36,760 Speaker 30: is important to us and it is significant, but it 1426 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 30: is complementary. The Trade minister who's down here, we finished 1427 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 30: the negotiation together last night. Just a few little issues 1428 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,440 Speaker 30: to go through. He was asked in the press conference, 1429 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,760 Speaker 30: you know, is this instead of is an issue for 1430 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,559 Speaker 30: the GCC deal. He said, no, it's complementary, and he 1431 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 30: said it believes Edward help. Now the GCC has been 1432 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 30: you know, it's been sitting there for seventeen years. Don't 1433 01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,559 Speaker 30: want to get hopes up, but I have been meeting 1434 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,599 Speaker 30: with others. There are Kaitar prime ministers, at Trade Minister 1435 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,760 Speaker 30: and also the Saudi minister and there is interest in 1436 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,800 Speaker 30: New Zealand again. But you know, we've got a little 1437 01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,760 Speaker 30: way to go. So this is complementary. It's a great, 1438 01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,519 Speaker 30: great start. It's worth celebrating, and there's a foothold in 1439 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:15,360 Speaker 30: the Middle East. 1440 01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 1: Our first is. 1441 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 4: Part of our attraction, the possibility of attracting their investment 1442 01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,639 Speaker 4: money in because it's been noted that they have about 1443 01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,840 Speaker 4: three of the world's biggest sovereign wealth funds there. 1444 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:29,599 Speaker 30: Yeah, they do, and so investment is part of this agreement. 1445 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,120 Speaker 30: We also negotiated a bilateral investment agreement and all that 1446 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 30: really does is give certainty to investors in both sides 1447 01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 30: levels of playing field. It doesn't include that ISDS, that 1448 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:43,599 Speaker 30: investor state dispute settlement mechanism that so many people were 1449 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 30: worried about. We took that off the table and we 1450 01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:48,280 Speaker 30: didn't do it. There is interest in New Zealand, but 1451 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,440 Speaker 30: their interests in working with us and could be an infrastructure. 1452 01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,120 Speaker 30: They have a lot of interest in food security. They 1453 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,240 Speaker 30: want to be able to buy high quality, safe food 1454 01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,000 Speaker 30: from New Zealand, the food we produce so they can 1455 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 30: and continue to feed their population as it grows. So yes, 1456 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:05,920 Speaker 30: but there's also a really big part of the agreement 1457 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 30: is around services and we have a number of QWI 1458 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,519 Speaker 30: companies up there doing well. Look, it's just a big 1459 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 30: growing market. Many more New Zealand companies are going to 1460 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:15,920 Speaker 30: find it easy to go up there and do business. 1461 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:17,160 Speaker 4: Now do you think that they're going to put money 1462 01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:18,960 Speaker 4: into us? Are they going to invest into us? 1463 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,240 Speaker 30: Well, they bought a big business delegation down here with 1464 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 30: them and they've been having business to business meetings and 1465 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 30: I hear from the delegation of the businessmen on both sides, 1466 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:32,240 Speaker 30: men and women, is constructive and they see some opportunities. 1467 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:33,920 Speaker 30: So I think we should just see that as at 1468 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 30: a first sort of foothold. They've come and have a look. 1469 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 30: The one thing that does happen whenever you sign a 1470 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,160 Speaker 30: trade deal with another country, as trade grows and investment grows, 1471 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,599 Speaker 30: and it happens without a government being involved. But we're 1472 01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 30: pretty keen to see if there are ways they can 1473 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,600 Speaker 30: invest in our economy that is good for all New Zealanders. 1474 01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 30: And you know they have said they want to come 1475 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,280 Speaker 30: a look at that, so there are certainly going to 1476 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 30: be some opportunities. We'll have a look and test out 1477 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,559 Speaker 30: where they should be and make sure they are good 1478 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 30: for New Zealand if we bring that investment. 1479 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:04,280 Speaker 4: Todd, isn't true that they actually wanted to strike an 1480 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,599 Speaker 4: FTA with US as far back as poor I think 1481 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,360 Speaker 4: it was November twenty twenty one, I read, But we 1482 01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 4: played hard to get. 1483 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,479 Speaker 30: So in two thousand and eight there was all but 1484 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,160 Speaker 30: an agreement on the table, but then the GCC said 1485 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 30: to them we would prefer to do a region wide one, 1486 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:23,280 Speaker 30: so the UEA stepped back. I do think that look, 1487 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,360 Speaker 30: I understand a few years ago, before we came to government, 1488 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 30: they showed renewed interest, but it didn't get off the ground. 1489 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,160 Speaker 30: There's probably a range of reasons for that. But actually, 1490 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,360 Speaker 30: you know, when I became Trade Minister, I said to 1491 01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,120 Speaker 30: Christopher Luxeen, you know that I think there's a big 1492 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,360 Speaker 30: opportunity there we could do something. He said, your job 1493 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,120 Speaker 30: to get out of the world stage and hustle for 1494 01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,600 Speaker 30: New Zealand exporterers. And you know we've been able to 1495 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,679 Speaker 30: do this and it is it's actually less than one 1496 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,240 Speaker 30: hundred working days. A touch of caution. 1497 01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:51,799 Speaker 19: I don't think the next ones. 1498 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 30: Will be doing will be as straightforward as us, but 1499 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,440 Speaker 30: we will just work hard to make sure we can deliver. 1500 01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,400 Speaker 19: Quality and we're not leaving anything to anything. 1501 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:00,280 Speaker 30: We can get this good for New Zealanders going to 1502 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:01,639 Speaker 30: be out there doing that brilliant stuff. 1503 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:03,960 Speaker 4: Hey Todd, thank you really appreciate your time. That's Tod McLay, 1504 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:08,240 Speaker 4: the Trade Minister. Hither the hey, small spender campaign from 1505 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,240 Speaker 4: the warehouse absolutely sucked. New Zealanders don't need a further 1506 01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 4: inferior inferiority complex. That's from David. David, thank you for that. 1507 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,839 Speaker 4: As you're gonna talk to Liam Dan about the warehouse 1508 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:18,880 Speaker 4: when he's with us just after the break before we 1509 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:22,080 Speaker 4: go to it. Though, there are now calls for the 1510 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,839 Speaker 4: law to be changed to force companies like that contractor 1511 01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:26,759 Speaker 4: whose people pulled out the nuts on the power pylon 1512 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:31,160 Speaker 4: to actually be legally obligated and compelled to fess up 1513 01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,360 Speaker 4: and say what happened, because yesterday we sort of got 1514 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,679 Speaker 4: a bit of a hint of it, and basically reading 1515 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 4: all the stories subsequently overnight, it's now abundantly clear that 1516 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:45,080 Speaker 4: what happened was Omexom. These are the contractors trans It 1517 01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,839 Speaker 4: wasn't Transpower's problem at all. I don't know why Transpower 1518 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,599 Speaker 4: even owned this, and in any way, it was ome Exom. 1519 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,559 Speaker 4: They were the ones who did it. They were the 1520 01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,639 Speaker 4: ones who were actually responsible, and it wasn't the only 1521 01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,040 Speaker 4: time that their crews had also pulled out the nuts 1522 01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 4: and multiple legs of a power pylon. But they refused 1523 01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:05,800 Speaker 4: when the electricity authority was doing their their own investigation, 1524 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,559 Speaker 4: which is one we got yesterday, Omixon refused to tell 1525 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 4: the electricity authority what had happened. Omics had done its 1526 01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,960 Speaker 4: own internal review, they refused to release that review to 1527 01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,320 Speaker 4: the electricity authority to be released to the public, and 1528 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:21,160 Speaker 4: they cited legal privilege as the reason for denying access 1529 01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,320 Speaker 4: to certain documents. Obviously, what they meant by legal privilege 1530 01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,840 Speaker 4: was legal liability, because if we see what's in there, 1531 01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 4: maybe some people are going to come after them for it, 1532 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,599 Speaker 4: and now the law needs to change the electricity authorities 1533 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 4: like this can't happen again. We've got to change the law. 1534 01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 4: So next time Omixon has to tell us fourteen PUS six. 1535 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,920 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's heather due 1536 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 1: toic Ellen with the business hours thanks to my HR, 1537 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,480 Speaker 1: the HR platform for SME on news talks. 1538 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:52,360 Speaker 4: V Jamie McKay with us shortly right now. Seventeen passis now. 1539 01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 4: The warehouse is licking its wounds after delivering a very 1540 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,160 Speaker 4: bad result today they recorded a fifty four million dollar 1541 01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 4: loss for the year. I spoke to the interim Cheer 1542 01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,719 Speaker 4: executive John Drewnet earlier. 1543 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 7: Was certainly not where we need to be, and the 1544 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,880 Speaker 7: result was a poor performance. We had a strategy set 1545 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,960 Speaker 7: about five years ago that was in hindsight to ambitious 1546 01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:15,360 Speaker 7: and also distracted us from looking after our core brands 1547 01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 7: at the level of detail that we need. 1548 01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 4: Liam dan Is, the Herald's business entitor at larger with us. Now, hey, Liamgther, 1549 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,320 Speaker 4: you reckon they can turn this around. 1550 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:24,560 Speaker 19: I'm skeptical. 1551 01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 31: I mean, you know, good luck to them to some extent, 1552 01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:32,400 Speaker 31: although I was a big supporter of Stephen Tyndall and 1553 01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,439 Speaker 31: his private equity partners the bid there and that you know, 1554 01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 31: the speculation was that they were looking to basically turn 1555 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:41,120 Speaker 31: it into the third supermarket chain, which had a lot 1556 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 31: of you know, appeal to me, partly because I'm a 1557 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:47,840 Speaker 31: business journalist and was excited about a big takeover and 1558 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,040 Speaker 31: a lot of change. But you know, you could see 1559 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 31: the value of New Zealand and you just you look 1560 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 31: at the Warehouse Group and you know, a year five 1561 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 31: years ago, but gee, a lot has changed in the 1562 01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,800 Speaker 31: last five years. I think the amount of stuff that 1563 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,840 Speaker 31: we're importing direct from China now, the cheap, cheap goods 1564 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:05,640 Speaker 31: that used to be the sort of staple for the 1565 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,280 Speaker 31: Warehouse has sword. I mean it's I think I saw 1566 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:14,439 Speaker 31: something in the GDP numbers that they skyrocketed, you know, 1567 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:17,040 Speaker 31: fifty percent in the last year. The amount of imports 1568 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,720 Speaker 31: we're doing directly as in you know, from the likes 1569 01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,360 Speaker 31: of team who basically so they're up against it there, 1570 01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,600 Speaker 31: and then they're up against it with the likes of 1571 01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 31: your Costco and Kmart, which is now decided it is 1572 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 31: going to expand see some opportunity. So it's tough as 1573 01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,240 Speaker 31: a value proposition, and they didn't do very well through 1574 01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:37,320 Speaker 31: a period where people were looking for value, so you know, 1575 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,160 Speaker 31: maybe they can turn it around. I think they're looking 1576 01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 31: at some looking at it from some very different parameters, 1577 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 31: I guess to Tyndall, But yeah. 1578 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:48,599 Speaker 4: If they're going to turn it around, and they need 1579 01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,479 Speaker 4: to focus on the core business today abandoned the supermarket idea. 1580 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,320 Speaker 31: Well they're saying, you know, it's not very lucrative as 1581 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 31: it is, and of course you know that means there's 1582 01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,759 Speaker 31: not much incentive to incrementally add to it at the moment, 1583 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,479 Speaker 31: so they're trying to get back to core business. I 1584 01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:06,080 Speaker 31: think what Stephen Tindall was looking at was something quite radical, 1585 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 31: which you can only do if you know you reinvent 1586 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:13,200 Speaker 31: the company. And he's someone who probably well he definitely 1587 01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 31: has a deep love of the brand and a lot 1588 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,920 Speaker 31: invested in the brand and wants to see it have 1589 01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 31: a long legacy and not dwindle away, so he's prepared 1590 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,519 Speaker 31: to try something quite quite radical. I can understand why 1591 01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:25,920 Speaker 31: the board and the current management, you know, within the 1592 01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:30,479 Speaker 31: parameters they're working, can't take on that strategy because it's 1593 01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,800 Speaker 31: too big. The shareholders didn't go for it, and in 1594 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:36,280 Speaker 31: particular we know the Normans who own own the family 1595 01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,960 Speaker 31: who owns the Farmers Group, they own twenty percent of 1596 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,000 Speaker 31: the warehouse, and Stephen Tindall and these private equity guys 1597 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 31: were unable to convince them. But I would not be 1598 01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:46,960 Speaker 31: surprised to see him have another go. You know, it's 1599 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,680 Speaker 31: a lot to do with price and money. Obviously, it's 1600 01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,120 Speaker 31: a it's almost all to do with that. 1601 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:51,840 Speaker 10: You know. 1602 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,639 Speaker 31: And so if it doesn't turn around in the next 1603 01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 31: year or so, Stephen Tindall may well be back, because 1604 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 31: you know, after she is don't come up, then his 1605 01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:05,679 Speaker 31: offer is going to start looking pretty good. 1606 01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, fair point. Hallam as always really appreciated. 1607 01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:08,600 Speaker 7: Thank you. 1608 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,679 Speaker 4: That's Liam Dan, the Herald's Business setitor at Large. By 1609 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:16,479 Speaker 4: the way, Carmen has done her first solo interview of 1610 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:22,160 Speaker 4: first solo interview, first solo interview of her presidential campaign. 1611 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,840 Speaker 4: No comfort human sitting with her by his girl by 1612 01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:27,799 Speaker 4: herself type. 1613 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:32,400 Speaker 32: Economists in our country, from Nobel Laureates to people at 1614 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 32: Moody's and Goldman Sachs have compared my plan with his 1615 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,960 Speaker 32: and said my plan would grow the economy, his which 1616 01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:43,680 Speaker 32: shrink the economy. Some of them have actually assessed that 1617 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,880 Speaker 32: his plan would increase inflestion and invader recession by the 1618 01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:48,840 Speaker 32: middle of the next year. 1619 01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,760 Speaker 4: It was on the MSNBC, which is obviously going to 1620 01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,720 Speaker 4: be more partial to her than Trumpy and the panel. Afterwards. 1621 01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 4: They were loving it. They thought she was great. 1622 01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,160 Speaker 1: When she's delivering these messages. Now I think she keeps 1623 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:01,120 Speaker 1: getting better. 1624 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 20: When she talks about policy of also adding a little dollup. 1625 01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:06,960 Speaker 1: Of a tweak that is going to get under Trump's skin. 1626 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, soe you go doing well. Okay, listen, we're gonna 1627 01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,120 Speaker 4: We're gonna have to deal with this. I cannot tell 1628 01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 4: you the number of texts I get on this particular 1629 01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:20,120 Speaker 4: issue consistently. For goodness sake, Heather, it's the bolts that 1630 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,439 Speaker 4: have been taken out. They've called the pylon to topple 1631 01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:24,840 Speaker 4: the nuts. Only keep the bolt in place, you bloody Metro. 1632 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:28,519 Speaker 4: Thank you, Hayden. Now hold on a Teck Hayden, because 1633 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:31,720 Speaker 4: how do you know? You don't know the bolts got 1634 01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 4: taken out. That's the one thing you don't know. We 1635 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 4: know the bolts are in there. The nuts definitely got 1636 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,200 Speaker 4: taken out because you'd have to take the nuts out 1637 01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:40,840 Speaker 4: to take the bolts out, right, So the nuts have 1638 01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,000 Speaker 4: come out? Do we know the bolts have come out? 1639 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 4: Do we know that for sure? Because I think of 1640 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,719 Speaker 4: the nuts, you already you're already, that's already, the pilon's 1641 01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,960 Speaker 4: already fallen. But with the how do you know? Can 1642 01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,840 Speaker 4: we settle this thing? I'm taking I'm taking your advice 1643 01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,840 Speaker 4: on this right now. And I much rather here from 1644 01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:59,759 Speaker 4: engineers and builders frankly, than you know, like radio hosts. 1645 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:01,759 Speaker 4: But what are we talking about? Is it the nuts? 1646 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,920 Speaker 4: Is it the bolts? Is it both? Six twenty two 1647 01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:06,559 Speaker 4: nine two nine two is. 1648 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:10,160 Speaker 1: The text number everything from SMEs to the big corporates. 1649 01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:14,040 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Heather duplicy Alis and my HR 1650 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,960 Speaker 1: the HR solution for busy SMEs on News TALKSBB. 1651 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,080 Speaker 4: It's it's the nuts, Hayden, your metro, Heather, it's the nuts. 1652 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,599 Speaker 4: The bolt would be cast into the concrete. You're right, Heather, 1653 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:26,799 Speaker 4: it's a high probability that they use cast in bolts 1654 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,200 Speaker 4: and only the nuts were removed. So there we go. 1655 01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,840 Speaker 4: How about me, lady splain and that engineering too.

I'm 1677 01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 33: going to have to ponder how we can survive the 1678 01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,120 Speaker 33: mud and the mire and the swamp and the paddy 1679 01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 33: paddy rice fields that is Southland at the moment. 1680 01:20:57,840 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 4: Trying to change the subject, don't you. I just want 1681 01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:02,120 Speaker 4: to apart from that, Heather, Yeah, can I just apologize 1682 01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:03,760 Speaker 4: quickly for all of those sound effects. It's not me, 1683 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:05,720 Speaker 4: it's producer and he's found the button and loves it. 1684 01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:07,640 Speaker 4: Carry on, Jamie. 1685 01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,600 Speaker 33: Well, apart from the weather down south, it's been a 1686 01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 33: good week for farmers here that I know. You just 1687 01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 33: talked to Todd McLay about the FTA with the UAE. 1688 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,920 Speaker 33: That's a good deal. It's a good I mean it's 1689 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:22,639 Speaker 33: a bit of a one sided trade deal. I think 1690 01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:24,880 Speaker 33: we do one point three billion with them. They do 1691 01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 33: something like one hundred and fifty million or something. Well, yeah, 1692 01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:30,200 Speaker 33: one hundred and fifty million with us. It's a good look, 1693 01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:31,880 Speaker 33: that's a really good deal for us. I think the 1694 01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:33,800 Speaker 33: big story is and I know you covered this one 1695 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:38,679 Speaker 33: yesterday as well as the Fonterra announcement, and I will 1696 01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:41,360 Speaker 33: temper that or qualify it by saying I got my 1697 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,960 Speaker 33: ear chewed today by a grumpy west Otago dairy farmer. 1698 01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,800 Speaker 33: I think in her case it was just because it 1699 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,200 Speaker 33: had been raining for a month solid. But she said 1700 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:53,200 Speaker 33: to me, stop talking up the dairy price at nine dollars. 1701 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,559 Speaker 33: Everyone's going to be trying ripping off farmers and selling 1702 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:58,840 Speaker 33: and stuff they can't afford. And I said, look, it 1703 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,040 Speaker 33: is a good news story. I did some sums just 1704 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,600 Speaker 33: for you, Heather. If you'd bought if you were a 1705 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,800 Speaker 33: Fonterra farmer and you'd bought a Fonterra share, because to 1706 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,799 Speaker 33: supply Fonterira, to supply Fonterra, you need to have shares 1707 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,800 Speaker 33: to equal your production. You could have bought a share 1708 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,720 Speaker 33: in early February for two dollars and twelve cents with 1709 01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 33: your final divid announced yesterday at fifty five cents. That 1710 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:22,920 Speaker 33: is a yield on your share of twenty six percent. 1711 01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,599 Speaker 33: Try and get that anywhere else in business. Even now, 1712 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,600 Speaker 33: the shares have jumped from jump thirty cents in the 1713 01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,960 Speaker 33: course of this week since Myles Hurrald, a six million 1714 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:34,680 Speaker 33: dollar man, made the announcement on yesterday, they've gone from 1715 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,559 Speaker 33: three fifty to three eighty. It's still a fifteen percent yield. 1716 01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 33: Not to be sniffed at at all. And one more 1717 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 33: to ponder here. Today I had Mark Delator, chief executive 1718 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,680 Speaker 33: of Open Country Dairy, the second biggest player in the 1719 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,400 Speaker 33: dairy game behind Fonterra, and he was saying, if the 1720 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,479 Speaker 33: government doesn't have any hope at all of doubling export 1721 01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 33: income in the next decade, they're going to have to 1722 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:56,879 Speaker 33: ramp up dairy production. 1723 01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 19: How do you do it? 1724 01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:02,920 Speaker 33: He's suggesting ferry conversions are back on the table. Can 1725 01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:03,639 Speaker 33: you believe that? 1726 01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,160 Speaker 4: Can you believe it? Jamie? What a blast from the past. Hey, 1727 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 4: thank you appreciate it. Jamie McKay, host to the Country 1728 01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,200 Speaker 4: After the News, Sam Dickey on Intel News TALKSB. 1729 01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:20,280 Speaker 1: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1730 01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,680 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Heather Duplican and my HR The 1731 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:31,080 Speaker 1: HR Solution for Busy Smys on News TALKSB. The thing 1732 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 1: that I've gone. 1733 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:43,519 Speaker 4: Okay, Things are getting worse from this, worse for the 1734 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,240 Speaker 4: sausage king over in the UK. It now turns out 1735 01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 4: not only has he been getting money for his specs 1736 01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:50,320 Speaker 4: and money for his suits, and going to the corporate 1737 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 4: boxes and stuff at the football But Keir Starmer has 1738 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,479 Speaker 4: also been getting a thirty million dollar flat in London 1739 01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,439 Speaker 4: from a political ton of so his son could study 1740 01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 4: in peace during the election. I mean, the man of 1741 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 4: the people, not really at all. A's so we'll talk 1742 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:06,000 Speaker 4: to Indebrady about that when he's with us shortly. Heather 1743 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:10,000 Speaker 4: nuts only bolts, no way. I'm a builder with fifty 1744 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,120 Speaker 4: years experience. If the bolts come out, then ring the 1745 01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,919 Speaker 4: engineer who designed them. Thank you, Edu. I feel like 1746 01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 4: we've closed the case on that. From here on in, 1747 01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,679 Speaker 4: if you hear anybody talking about taking the bolts out, 1748 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,639 Speaker 4: you tell them they're wrong. It was the nuts twenty 1749 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:23,800 Speaker 4: three away from seven. 1750 01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:25,360 Speaker 1: Heather duples see Allen. 1751 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:25,639 Speaker 22: Now. 1752 01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:28,519 Speaker 4: Intel was once a high flying market darling back in 1753 01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:30,479 Speaker 4: the day, and it used to dominate the computer chip 1754 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,639 Speaker 4: industry and so on with more than eighty percent share 1755 01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,639 Speaker 4: market and PCs and servers. But that's all changed now 1756 01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 4: and the company's now on its knees and at risk 1757 01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 4: of being acquired on the cheap by rivals. To talk 1758 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,599 Speaker 4: us through what's going on here is Forishafun, Sam Dickey Hay. 1759 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 19: Sam Here that good evening. 1760 01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:46,880 Speaker 4: Take us back to the start, Sam, how did Intel 1761 01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 4: actually become big? And then what happened for it to 1762 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:50,320 Speaker 4: fall away like this? 1763 01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:52,040 Speaker 10: Yeah, it was. 1764 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,360 Speaker 34: It did nothing for the first twenty years of its life, 1765 01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,679 Speaker 34: from the seventies of the nineties, and it took off 1766 01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:58,599 Speaker 34: when the PC boom took off. 1767 01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,200 Speaker 1: So remember what it was. 1768 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,559 Speaker 34: It dominated the design and manufacturing of PC, laptop and 1769 01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,240 Speaker 34: server computer chips, and and it dominated the software wrapped 1770 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,040 Speaker 34: around that. So it had the whole shooting match and 1771 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:12,840 Speaker 34: the stoff went up about seventyfold or seven thousand percent 1772 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 34: of the nineteen nineties, and it kind of peaked in 1773 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,120 Speaker 34: the early two thousands, and that's when the Rots set out, 1774 01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 34: and so sadly there was quite a few things that 1775 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,200 Speaker 34: went wrong, But sadly the most high profile one is 1776 01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:27,680 Speaker 34: they decided against producing chips for the first iPhone, and 1777 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,679 Speaker 34: years later the company admitted that their forecast was wrong 1778 01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,719 Speaker 34: and the actual volume of iPhones relative to their business 1779 01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 34: case was one hundred times what they expected. So on 1780 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 34: top of that, they made a few other missteps, but 1781 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:42,000 Speaker 34: one notable one is if you think about computer chips 1782 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 34: and how far we've come, they used to have a 1783 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:47,839 Speaker 34: few thousand transistors or tiny electrical switches on them, and 1784 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,120 Speaker 34: the iPhone you've probably got on your desk there here 1785 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,000 Speaker 34: there has got tens of billions of these tiny electrical 1786 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:56,480 Speaker 34: switches jammed on top of them, and that requires extremely 1787 01:25:56,600 --> 01:26:00,120 Speaker 34: efficient manufacturing, and Intel just couldn't keep up with the 1788 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:04,080 Speaker 34: the prowess of the tiny So the Taiwanese chip manufacturing 1789 01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,920 Speaker 34: giant TSMC, and because of all that and all those 1790 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,559 Speaker 34: missteps and several more, the stock underperform the US stock 1791 01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,680 Speaker 34: market by about ninety percent over the last quarter century. 1792 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:14,639 Speaker 4: Is that what we talk about when we talk about 1793 01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:18,000 Speaker 4: the chip wars, just that they're like the development and 1794 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:21,000 Speaker 4: the fine tuning of these chips. 1795 01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:22,920 Speaker 1: I think that's what's underpinning there. 1796 01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:24,800 Speaker 19: But the chip wars is really that, I guess, the 1797 01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:25,679 Speaker 19: cold chip wars. 1798 01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:27,160 Speaker 1: And there's a book written about this. 1799 01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:31,120 Speaker 34: But if given the fact that these that the manufacturer 1800 01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 34: of these advanced computer chips is considered the most complex 1801 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:38,639 Speaker 34: and precise manufacturing processed humans have ever undertaken, and given 1802 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,639 Speaker 34: those chips underpin almost every bit of technology we touch, 1803 01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:45,240 Speaker 34: and they underpin economies and militaries, it's no wonder there 1804 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,479 Speaker 34: is a big power struggle. So a few factors to 1805 01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:52,000 Speaker 34: put that those chip wars in context. China imports more 1806 01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,519 Speaker 34: in chips that it doesn't oil, so has a natural 1807 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:58,320 Speaker 34: disadvantage there. And then you've got Taiwan or TSMC, which 1808 01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:02,640 Speaker 34: controls ninety percent of high end chip manufacturing. And then 1809 01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 34: you move back to the US, and they even have 1810 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,519 Speaker 34: an active government called the Chips Act, which is funneling 1811 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:11,240 Speaker 34: billions of dollars into US based chip designers and manufacturers 1812 01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 34: to make sure they win this war. So some pretty 1813 01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:15,640 Speaker 34: big picture stuff there. And the fact that Intel that 1814 01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,439 Speaker 34: the US darling is falling behind is a big deal 1815 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:19,400 Speaker 34: for the US as a whole. 1816 01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,240 Speaker 4: So why has the company been slashing costs and cutting 1817 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:24,799 Speaker 4: expansion plans more recently? 1818 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,599 Speaker 34: Yeah, I mean it's announced it's laying of fifteen percent 1819 01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:31,479 Speaker 34: of its workforce, cutting costs by ten billion, delaying opening 1820 01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:35,160 Speaker 34: new chip factories in Germany and Poland arguably in favor 1821 01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 34: of opening up domestic putting more money into domestic chip 1822 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 34: design and manufacturing facilities. But that's all to stop the 1823 01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:46,120 Speaker 34: bleeding of I mean, they're making losses because of all 1824 01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:48,920 Speaker 34: these poor decisions they've made. And on top of that, 1825 01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,760 Speaker 34: it's been given around twelve billion dollars of funding under 1826 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 34: the US Chips Act to try and shore it up. 1827 01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,559 Speaker 4: Okay, who's bidding for Intel? 1828 01:27:56,600 --> 01:28:00,880 Speaker 34: By the way, it's rumors only so far. So Qualcomm, 1829 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:03,640 Speaker 34: a US based mobile phone chip designer, is rumored to 1830 01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:05,800 Speaker 34: be buying in talent. And why would anyone want to 1831 01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:10,719 Speaker 34: buy this company after all these missteps? Presumably potential suitors see, 1832 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 34: Intel is a chip company that still has an enormous 1833 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 34: amount of IP and valuable assets that are critical in 1834 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,080 Speaker 34: this this chips wars that we talked about. 1835 01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 4: And so what does it mean if this purchase goes ahead? 1836 01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:22,759 Speaker 4: What does this mean for the chip wars? 1837 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,240 Speaker 34: I think it could create a much larger US based 1838 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,519 Speaker 34: chip design and manufacturing company that might just might be 1839 01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,599 Speaker 34: able to compete against the likes of TESMC and Taiwan. 1840 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,760 Speaker 34: And if it is true it is Qualcomm, who's a 1841 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 34: US based company, I'm sure that the combined entity would 1842 01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:42,960 Speaker 34: still qualify for the You know that the hefty tailwind 1843 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 34: of US government grants under that US Chips Act. 1844 01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 4: Okay, so what do investors need to consider when they're 1845 01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:48,280 Speaker 4: thinking about this. 1846 01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:51,439 Speaker 34: There's a lot going on there isn't that it's not 1847 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:53,400 Speaker 34: the first changing of the guard, and this this sort 1848 01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:56,280 Speaker 34: of pointy end technology computer chip design. 1849 01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:56,439 Speaker 19: Man. 1850 01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:59,040 Speaker 34: So if you remember back to mainframe computers, computers that 1851 01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 34: were as big as a small house, IBM dominated those chips. 1852 01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:05,880 Speaker 34: Intel we talked about that, dominated PCs and service for 1853 01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 34: data centers. ARM and Apple dominated the mobile chipset chipset wars, 1854 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:14,040 Speaker 34: and now in Nvidia is dominating the design of AI chips. 1855 01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,800 Speaker 34: The only constant there, by the way, is TCMC, the 1856 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:21,479 Speaker 34: Taiwanese giant has dominated manufacturing for decades. So the point is, 1857 01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:23,439 Speaker 34: if you're an investor at this point, Ayen, you need 1858 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:26,320 Speaker 34: to be really careful. Companies are not being left behind. 1859 01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,800 Speaker 34: So make sure they have a healthy degree of paranoia 1860 01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:32,760 Speaker 34: about disruption or competition, make sure they're not underspenning on 1861 01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:35,479 Speaker 34: research and development, and just make sure those companies are 1862 01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:37,759 Speaker 34: not resting on their laurels, which is potentially what Intel 1863 01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:38,559 Speaker 34: did back in the day. 1864 01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:40,840 Speaker 4: Yes, such a good point, Hey, Sam, as always, thank you, Sam. 1865 01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:44,120 Speaker 4: Dickia Fisherpun's economists actually had a really interesting opening paragraph 1866 01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:45,560 Speaker 4: when they did a piece on Intel. I feel like 1867 01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:47,880 Speaker 4: it was in the last week or a couple of 1868 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:49,800 Speaker 4: weeks or something like that. And it started like this 1869 01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,559 Speaker 4: and said Intel has spent two decades missing the next 1870 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:56,080 Speaker 4: big thing. The chip maker's dominant PC business blinded it 1871 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,599 Speaker 4: to the opportunity for mobile phones in the two thousands 1872 01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:01,160 Speaker 4: and more recently, the the film was slow to adopt 1873 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:04,719 Speaker 4: extreme ultraviolet lithography, which is an expensive chip making process 1874 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 4: that was originally funded by Intel itself. Intel has spent 1875 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:12,320 Speaker 4: two decades missing the next big thing. Hey, that's an indictment, 1876 01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:14,160 Speaker 4: isn't it. Seventeen away from seven. 1877 01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:17,800 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's hither dup 1878 01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 1: to see Ellen with the Business Hour thanks to my HR, 1879 01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:25,360 Speaker 1: the HR solution for busy s Emmy's on news talks. 1880 01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:28,160 Speaker 4: Ibi Indebrady are UK correspondences with us right now. Hey Inda, 1881 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,320 Speaker 4: Hey Heather, great to speak to you now, Inda. Not 1882 01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,840 Speaker 4: a good look for Kirstama this thirty million dollar flat, 1883 01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:35,439 Speaker 4: is it? 1884 01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:37,400 Speaker 13: It's not a good look. But you know what, he 1885 01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,720 Speaker 13: hasn't actually done anything wrong. He hasn't broken any of 1886 01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:45,000 Speaker 13: the parliamentary laws. And basically Labor have a very wealthy 1887 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 13: political donor called Lord Ali and as the election campaign 1888 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:52,120 Speaker 13: was getting into full swing. The Starmers have two children, 1889 01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:55,080 Speaker 13: sixteen year old boy, thirteen year old girl. We don't 1890 01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,400 Speaker 13: even know their names, that they're not in the public 1891 01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,360 Speaker 13: eye as they should not be their children. And basically 1892 01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,439 Speaker 13: the Starmer parents here and his wife, they were very 1893 01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:08,040 Speaker 13: concerned that, you know, as the election campaign was getting underway, 1894 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:11,040 Speaker 13: there was camera crews, photographers outside their house where they 1895 01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:14,120 Speaker 13: live in North London, and Lord Ali said the Starmer, look, 1896 01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,840 Speaker 13: I've got an empty flat in Covent Garden. Why don't 1897 01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:21,040 Speaker 13: you just relocate there. Nobody will bother you and then 1898 01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:23,400 Speaker 13: the young fella can just kind of study, do his 1899 01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:26,759 Speaker 13: exams and not have all the hullabaloo of the media 1900 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,439 Speaker 13: around him. So the Starmer family thought it was a 1901 01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 13: kind offer. He has listed it in the Register of Members' 1902 01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:36,200 Speaker 13: Interests as something that he was done, eated or given. 1903 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,080 Speaker 13: But it's the fact that I think that it's a 1904 01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,640 Speaker 13: unit worth thirty million dollars and they had it for 1905 01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:44,200 Speaker 13: a few weeks for free. That's what seems to be 1906 01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:46,920 Speaker 13: really annoying the Conservatives. But I mean, for all the 1907 01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,679 Speaker 13: Conservatives going mad about this, you know, there's a few 1908 01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:52,720 Speaker 13: names you could chuck into the mix who've kind of 1909 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:57,120 Speaker 13: not exactly left the public world. Here for the better 1910 01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:00,280 Speaker 13: Boris Johnson, for example, Rishie Sunak and his wife who 1911 01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:01,960 Speaker 13: wasn't even paying tax in the UK. 1912 01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:04,080 Speaker 19: I mean, don't get me started. Yeah. 1913 01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 4: Look, the thing is I have a lot of sympathy 1914 01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:09,280 Speaker 4: for the explanation that Keystam has given, and I think 1915 01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:11,519 Speaker 4: a lot of parents would. But the trouble is, we 1916 01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:14,000 Speaker 4: know that that is not how voters work, right, And 1917 01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:17,160 Speaker 4: what happens is when you get a series of things 1918 01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:20,200 Speaker 4: that creates an impression. And it's starting to create an impression, 1919 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:20,639 Speaker 4: isn't it. 1920 01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:23,280 Speaker 19: Yeah, it hasn't been a good week for Labor. 1921 01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:26,640 Speaker 13: I mean, look, there's been various different headlines about so 1922 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:30,679 Speaker 13: and so being given clothing, or so and so accepting 1923 01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:33,160 Speaker 13: soccer tickets or you know, it's been. 1924 01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:33,880 Speaker 19: Drip, drip drip. 1925 01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:36,519 Speaker 13: But what people need to understand is there is a 1926 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:39,960 Speaker 13: very powerful right wing conservative media in the UK. 1927 01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:42,639 Speaker 19: They do not like Labor and. 1928 01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:45,800 Speaker 13: The problem they have, you know, they're trying to chip 1929 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:48,240 Speaker 13: away at Starma and make out that he's a greedy man. 1930 01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:51,200 Speaker 13: He's a public servant, the guy who spent his entire 1931 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:56,200 Speaker 13: life working for the public good. You know, I actually 1932 01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,200 Speaker 13: think he is what Britain needs, right now keep people 1933 01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:02,759 Speaker 13: keep saying, Oh, he's boring, he's not very charismatic. Britain 1934 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 13: needs a pragmatist who's going to actually work for the 1935 01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:07,960 Speaker 13: public good. And okay, he seems to have a lot 1936 01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:11,200 Speaker 13: of wealthy connections and they put that apartment at his 1937 01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:14,240 Speaker 13: family's disposal in the summer. I would have done exactly 1938 01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 13: the same. If a child is struggling to concentrate, get 1939 01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:20,600 Speaker 13: the work done, they get one shot at these exams. 1940 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,080 Speaker 19: And I think Starmer, as a parent, made the right call. 1941 01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 4: Hey, just out of interest. Do you think that the 1942 01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,200 Speaker 4: right wing component of the media is stronger in the 1943 01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:29,200 Speaker 4: UK than the lift wing? 1944 01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:30,680 Speaker 1: Oh? 1945 01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 13: Absolutely, Oh my god, absolutely everything here that front. I'm 1946 01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:38,120 Speaker 13: not going to name these newspapers, but they are vicious 1947 01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 13: and you listen to the you know, the same people 1948 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,040 Speaker 13: didn't have a problem with Boris Johnson putting the son 1949 01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:46,400 Speaker 13: of a KGB agent in the House of Lords. 1950 01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:48,680 Speaker 19: This actually happened. The same people didn't have. 1951 01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:51,679 Speaker 13: A problem with Boris Johnson giving an American woman who 1952 01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,640 Speaker 13: he was later alleged to have an affair with one 1953 01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:56,600 Speaker 13: hundred grand sterling for her business, or taking her on 1954 01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:57,920 Speaker 13: numerous trips when he was. 1955 01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:00,439 Speaker 19: Lord Mayor of London. You just you couldn't make it up. 1956 01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:02,840 Speaker 19: I mean there was one rule for them and a 1957 01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:04,439 Speaker 19: very different rule for the other lot. 1958 01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:07,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, very interesting. He listen on these troops that have 1959 01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 4: been seen to Cypress. Is this in preparation for the 1960 01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:11,240 Speaker 4: evacuation from Lebanon? 1961 01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:16,680 Speaker 13: So yes, there are six thousand British citizens living in 1962 01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:20,679 Speaker 13: Lebanon and Keir Starmer wants people to safety as quickly 1963 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:23,559 Speaker 13: as possible, So evacuation plans have been drawn up by 1964 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:26,679 Speaker 13: the Ministry of Defense at great speed. Seven hundred UK 1965 01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:29,679 Speaker 13: troops are now in Cyprus. There is an RAF base 1966 01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:34,920 Speaker 13: there on the Greek Cypriot administration side, raf Acritiri, and 1967 01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:37,720 Speaker 13: they are looking at whether they can get planes in 1968 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,200 Speaker 13: or will it be a naval michel mission to get 1969 01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:44,040 Speaker 13: into a port like Triple or be route and basically 1970 01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:47,240 Speaker 13: on the seaside, sorry, to basically get people back out 1971 01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 13: to Cypress and home to the UK. But you know 1972 01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,760 Speaker 13: this is changing by the hour, and we've already seen overnight, 1973 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:56,080 Speaker 13: you know, New Zealand and the UK putting their name 1974 01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:59,120 Speaker 13: to a call for a twenty one day ceasefire. But 1975 01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:02,320 Speaker 13: you can just imagine Israel want listen to that and. 1976 01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:03,640 Speaker 4: It's always good to talk to you. Thank you, will 1977 01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:05,160 Speaker 4: talk to you again soon. That's end of Brady Are 1978 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:09,400 Speaker 4: UK Correspondent. Listen. Isn't it fascinating by the way that 1979 01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,400 Speaker 4: it's the right wing in Britain according to Enda, that 1980 01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:14,559 Speaker 4: are the ones that have the stronghold, whereas here we're 1981 01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,000 Speaker 4: having a completely different discussion in New Zealand, aren't we. 1982 01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:20,000 Speaker 4: I mean, we often complain about how left leaning our 1983 01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:22,479 Speaker 4: media are and how hostile they are to the coalition government, 1984 01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:27,960 Speaker 4: so it's like the reverse. Anyway, sounds like the vaping 1985 01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,920 Speaker 4: thing is out of control, and this is the thing 1986 01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,000 Speaker 4: that has made me more worried than anything about how 1987 01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:34,760 Speaker 4: out of control the vaping is. There's a story on 1988 01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:36,599 Speaker 4: one of the papers today about a bunch of young 1989 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:39,839 Speaker 4: people who are, in order to give up the vapes 1990 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:44,920 Speaker 4: switching to Siggis by switching to Siggi's to get because 1991 01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 4: they are so hooked on the vapes. They can't quit 1992 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:48,400 Speaker 4: the vapes. They know the vapes are bad for them, 1993 01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,559 Speaker 4: right that one of them is like wheezing. She's got 1994 01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:54,559 Speaker 4: she vapes so much her lungs wheeze when she's not well. 1995 01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:57,000 Speaker 4: When she's vaping, so she knows it's really bad for her, 1996 01:35:57,280 --> 01:35:59,560 Speaker 4: but try as she might, she cannot get off it. 1997 01:35:59,680 --> 01:36:01,200 Speaker 4: Best she can do is a month and then if 1998 01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:03,240 Speaker 4: it's stressful, she's back on the vapes and stuff. Vapes 1999 01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:05,959 Speaker 4: all the time and you know, has all the withdrawals 2000 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:08,840 Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So one of these kids, a 2001 01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:13,080 Speaker 4: nineteen year old university student in Wellington, said it felt 2002 01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:17,000 Speaker 4: safer in a weird way to resort to cigarettes because 2003 01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:20,200 Speaker 4: you know everything about it, but with vaping we don't 2004 01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:24,040 Speaker 4: know what the chemicals are. So the whole flat has 2005 01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:27,920 Speaker 4: switched from vaping to Siggi's because they know that they 2006 01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,040 Speaker 4: know both of them are bad for them, but at 2007 01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,600 Speaker 4: least they had an idea of how bad the ciggies are, 2008 01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:34,439 Speaker 4: and they've got no idea how bad the vapes are. 2009 01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:37,000 Speaker 4: How worrying is that eight away from seven. 2010 01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:41,240 Speaker 2: Whether it's macro microbe or just plain economics, it's all 2011 01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:44,920 Speaker 2: on The Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, Ellen and my HR, 2012 01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:48,120 Speaker 2: the HR platform for sme US talk sip. 2013 01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:50,320 Speaker 4: Hey, did you know the Greens have changed their name? 2014 01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:53,560 Speaker 4: I didn't realize, but they actually they actually put in 2015 01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:55,680 Speaker 4: a little application with the Electoral Commission a couple of 2016 01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:57,960 Speaker 4: days ago, and I can't remember exactly old and have 2017 01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:00,240 Speaker 4: I got it here? Yes, actually I do, I do 2018 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:03,400 Speaker 4: have it right here. The Green's current name is the 2019 01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:07,839 Speaker 4: Greens or the Green Party of Altier or slash New Zealand, 2020 01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:09,240 Speaker 4: and now they're just going to go for the Green 2021 01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,120 Speaker 4: Party of Altier or in New Zealand. They're going to 2022 01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:13,280 Speaker 4: ditch the Greens. So I feel like they want to 2023 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,240 Speaker 4: take themselves a little bit more Theoriously, I'm surprised they 2024 01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:19,200 Speaker 4: didn't go for a bilingual name. Actually feels like that's 2025 01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,400 Speaker 4: the kind of thing because Chloe's asking all her questions 2026 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:24,040 Speaker 4: in two languages in Parliament at the moment. So yeah, 2027 01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 4: mister trick there listen. I've got to tell you, I 2028 01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,560 Speaker 4: am quite enjoying the absolute panic that's set in on 2029 01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:31,800 Speaker 4: Wellington since the government told them to go back to work. 2030 01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:35,040 Speaker 4: The local papers running an article today saying it's a 2031 01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:38,240 Speaker 4: quote bitter pill for them to swallow. Let me just 2032 01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,000 Speaker 4: remind you what we taught. They've been told to go 2033 01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:43,800 Speaker 4: back to the office. They have been told to go 2034 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:46,519 Speaker 4: back to the office where they used to do their 2035 01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:49,400 Speaker 4: jobs and don't anymore. And this is a quote bitter 2036 01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:52,559 Speaker 4: pill for them to swallow. They've also written about how 2037 01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:55,320 Speaker 4: people who've decided to live in places like the Wired Upper, 2038 01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:57,639 Speaker 4: which is a fair drive away from Wellington, will now 2039 01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:01,280 Speaker 4: be faced with a quote brutal or wayning if they're 2040 01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:04,360 Speaker 4: forced to work in the city. Just remember the city 2041 01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:09,640 Speaker 4: is where their actual desks are brutal, awakening.
