I'm here for a breakfast meeting 14 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 4: that started at eight with the Northern EWE leaders, and 15 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 4: I'm we're just debating whether I move because otherwise that 16 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 4: we're going to hear the show the side of the show. 17 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: Oh so I thought you were going to say you're 18 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: here for a meeting at eight o'clock, but no one 19 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: showed up yet. 20 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 4: No, no, no, it's a full meeting. But yeah, I'm 21 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 4: just worried about No, I'm not you in a here, eyeballs. 22 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 4: It means that I'm not disturbing the breakfast too much. 23 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: Okay, good stuff, Ginny, as regards Wellington and twenty five percent. 24 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: I mean that's for a lot of people, you know, 25 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: significantly material, not just material, but significantly material, and a 26 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: lot of people have their savings and houses. Of course, 27 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: what's gone wrong with Wellington? Do you think for that 28 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:08,919 Speaker 1: to happen? 29 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: Well that central sort of city feeling is that it's 30 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 3: just had the guts kicked out of it, so that 31 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 3: it wasn't just the public service, but it was all 32 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: of the local economy went down when those jobs got cut, 33 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: and that's dragged everything down further and that's had a 34 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 3: real impact on confidence in the local economy and. 35 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: Must be longer than that because this is from twenty twenty. 36 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: I can't remember twenty twenty one to twenty two. Someone 37 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: on there. 38 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a little that the public service cuts 39 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: make a big difference. And these people in the Hut 40 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: Valley and out in all hun do you all those 41 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: people have either jobs associated with the public service or 42 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 3: they're selling a service or doing a doing a thing 43 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: that relies on those incomes. So it has a twelvefold 44 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: impact in Wellington when you see big, big kicks like that. 45 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: But the kicker is for those people who bought at 46 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 3: the peak of the market when they paid quite a 47 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: bit for a home and now it's worth quite a 48 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: bit less than that. So they've got a big mortgage 49 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 3: rate and the asset is now worth less than what 50 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: they pay. 51 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 4: Do you understand that what you guys did, and I 52 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 4: think it's cruel. You were on a massive hiring spree. 53 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 4: You bloated the government. As a country we can't afford. 54 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 4: It is awful when you have to make cuts. Those 55 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 4: are tough decisions, but the fact of the matter is 56 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 4: you put us on a fast track to a third 57 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 4: world country and there had to be changes, and so 58 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 4: I just I just find it amazing that you're still 59 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 4: that you're saying that you wouldn't have made any cuts. 60 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: Well, I'll respond to that. I worked as a public 61 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: student the last time National was in government and they 62 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 3: did the same thing. They cut everybody back. And what 63 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: happens about now in the mark from now on is 64 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: that when the government has big projects that they need 65 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: to deliver and all those people with institutional knowledge have 66 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: ever been fired or left and let me finish, we 67 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 3: have something called consultants who come in at approximately three 68 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: to five hundred dollars an hour, and that's What will 69 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: go up now under your government is the cost of 70 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 3: consultants as you try to get projects finished. And there's 71 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: no public servant. 72 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: Just before I leave, before until this descend let's not 73 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: have a descendity Tory fun now. Speaking of Wellington Ginny, 74 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: she said, I thought it was interesting you should serve 75 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: a term as a counselor before you're a leader. Is 76 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: that in general? Is that good advice? In your experience? 77 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: Do you reckon? Well? 78 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: I think it's important to know how local government works. 79 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 3: I don't think ever Brian would have the ability to 80 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: serve as a counselor, but I think understanding how your 81 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: local government works is incredibly important to being a good representative. 82 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: Woul it'll be whit well. I mean your path through 83 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: the public service, for example, before you went into parliament. 84 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: That must have stood you in reasonable stead, mustn't it 85 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: as opposed to just you know, coming in cold and 86 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: going I wonder how this works. 87 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: I think understanding the mechanics of government is incredibly important, 88 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: and that's what a lot of people are missing. They 89 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: come straight in and expect to make big decisions without 90 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: actually knowing what the spillover effects are. And we're definitely 91 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: seeing that with. 92 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 4: The I think the best that you can bring to 93 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: public service as life experience, and I think that Jenny's 94 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 4: was in P and h Q. 95 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: That's cool. Mine was on the front line. I think 96 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: you actually have to be in touch with. 97 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 4: What people need and what they were quite from government 98 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 4: to be able to deliver with it was a. 99 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: Bit more than just P and h Q. Mark, I've 100 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: been around for a wee bit longer than that, so 101 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 3: I've also been a negotiator for the Officer of Treaty Settlements. 102 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 3: I've also worked for Judith Collins and helped your advise 103 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: on the. 104 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: Work for Judith Collins. 105 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: Well, I advised, I advised. 106 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: You keep claiming in her office. 107 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: I didn't say office. 108 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: Judith hates it when Jenny says that, I love it. 109 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: Mark, did you did you have you got one of 110 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: those cvs Jenny that says I worked for Judith Collins. 111 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: If I looked at your CV. 112 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 3: I got nickname. I got the crush in that name. 113 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: She goes trumping and she worked for Judith. 114 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Jimmy, so you're the original crusher. You're claiming you're the 115 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: original crusher as well. I did, so you were crushing 116 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: Jenny before she was crushing colins and you, despite the 117 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: fact she says she didn't. 118 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: They were like, we want to crush cards and we 119 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 3: don't know how to do it, and we're like, my goodness. 120 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: Jenny, Jenny's a crush of dreams and jews. 121 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: Ginny, you won't like this, but I've done some research 122 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: during the ad break, But you bloated the public service. 123 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: And when Jacinda came to power, remember you Cinder, your 124 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: consultant bill was five hundred and fifty million. By the 125 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: time she left it was one point twenty seven billion, 126 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: So you bloated the public service. Plus you hired the consultant, 127 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: so you can't possibly defend that. 128 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, well you've also had a global pandemic happening in 129 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 3: that period, Mic the consultants. Well, when you had to 130 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 3: try and roll out of vaccine and get everyone up running, 131 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: Y said, the bill did go up, but I will 132 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: say that it got cut way back under National to 133 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 3: the point where it's be a bone. So a bit 134 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 3: of that building any. 135 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: Money, We haven't got any money. Make Mark and Cabinet 136 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: about the tax cuts. Tell us all about those. 137 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 4: No, there's been no discussions. Well, we don't discuss what 138 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: happens in can it. But that's obviously Nicholas going to 139 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 4: be looking at all options because the ills you highlighted 140 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 4: the last initial government. Under the last initial government we 141 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 4: were constantly lorded from being a rock star economy well 142 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 4: and that we were taking ours and we're taking ourselves back. 143 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 2: We've got a mess of hang over things to you, guys, 144 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: but we're moving in the right. 145 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 3: Direction, driving it deeper into the ground. 146 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely not, do. 147 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: You think Mark. We had Rod Duke on from Briscoes 148 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: earlier on this morning and he reflected, interestingly a lot 149 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: of what's been said to me privately from leading business people. 150 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: As much as they may back you or not as 151 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: much as they may wish you well in doing what 152 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: you're trying to do the economy, you're not doing enough, 153 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: you're not going hard enough, and you better get on 154 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: with it fast or else you're going to get punished. 155 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: And I can cite yesterday's poll that sort of seems 156 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: to confirm there. 157 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 4: Look, and that's why this year the Prominence has been 158 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 4: very clear that it's the top priority for us in 159 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: terms of unleashing economic growth so that all New Zealanders 160 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 4: can get ahead again. And you know, and there's a 161 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 4: big plan and that's being rolled out. Were fast tracking 162 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 4: projects for economic significance. We're pursuing trade and investment. We're 163 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 4: getting rid of red tape. Were making sure people have 164 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 4: the skills they need to succeed.

There's been 167 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: two poles, both the same people, the people who poll 168 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: for you, but you're in government now now. 169 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: The first one wasn't us. I don't think the first 170 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: one was curier curios. 171 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: Correct, So both poles have you.
