Pasky here, Welcome to the day seven past 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: six as a high exercise. It had a certain bullishness 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: to it, I thought, but the upbeat reaction to the 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: war being over did not last. Given it isn't in 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: the time between what was it eight o'clockish yesterday in 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 2: about eleven o'club by the time he hit the microphone. 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: It was essentially an example of a SoundBite versus a 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: reality check. What Trump says can move markets, and we 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: saw that yesterday, but what he said in front of 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: the press was not the same is what he said 18 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: earlier in the day that drove the earl price down. 19 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: We need to win some more and then the language 20 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: is the lesson. The guy makes it up, can win. 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: It can be over until you need to win some more. 22 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,559 Speaker 2: So it isn't over. We got the reiteration of the hyperbole. 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: It's like nothing we've ever seen. We can do it 24 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: the hard way, we can do it the easy way. 25 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: I guess it's the hard way. It was just a 26 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: machine gun spray of gibberish line with the side of 27 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: bollocks that had zero coherence, limited thought given to messaging, 28 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 2: and a large dollop of meism. As he returned over 29 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: and over again to himself. A question is asked, The 30 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: answer may or may not have any relevance to it. 31 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: Another question is asked. The exercises repeated until the last question. 32 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 2: We didn't know it was the last question, but when 33 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: they asked about the eight deaths, he said, he admit 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 2: the appearance. All amazing people, every single one of them 35 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: had told him to finish the job. And with that 36 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: he walked. He does that, by the way, extremely well. 37 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 2: Luxeon could actually take notes on that. He often struggles 38 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: with ending oppressor. If you've ever seen lux and he 39 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: says last question, then takes four more trump stops, turns, walks. 40 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: He then mouths some stuff to some off stage person, 41 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: thumbs up all that so anyway bad news for us. 42 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: By the way, someone asked about the straight up of 43 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: merse he said he would like to help, but it 44 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: would be mainly help the Chinese, given America doesn't get 45 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: the oil through the Strait. Of course, America also gets 46 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: the oil, he told us, through Venezuela these days, which 47 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: is apparently going well. And Delcy's another amazing person, and 48 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: that model could be used in Iran. An internal leader. 49 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: He liked the model internal or eternal if you think 50 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: about it, he said. I did think about it, but 51 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: it still didn't make any sense. If anything was to 52 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: be taken out of it. It's back to pr spin. 53 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: They're winning big lee. They have no navy, they have 54 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 2: nothing in America's going to finish the job, whatever that means. 55 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: If you thought it really was over sucked and good, 56 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: it was as satisfying as the Dorito. 57 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: Who News of the world in ninety seconds. 58 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: During Chief's Boss.

But the issue of the school is still 74 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 2: a problem that required some trump hisk imagination. 75 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 5: But tomahawks are used by others, as you know, numerous 76 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 5: other nations have tomahawks. They buy them from US. But 77 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 5: I will certainly whatever the report shows, I'm willing to 78 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 5: live with that. 79 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: As for Around's new man, mainly Israelis don't think it's good. 80 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 7: We want to remove for the long term existential threats 81 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 7: from Iran to Israel. It is hard to see it 82 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 7: with the current regime. Is the new Homine. The new 83 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 7: Homine is not less extremists than. 84 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 2: The previous Germans, why didn't relact. 85 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 8: We still have a regime in Tehran which formula is 86 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 8: clearly its main political goal, and this is to eliminate 87 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 8: the state of Israel. And this cannot be neglected, especially 88 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 8: not by the German government. 89 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: And we have yet another wonk explaining that if I 90 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: don't know if you've worked this out yet, but if 91 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: fuel goes up, the price of stuff goes up. 92 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: Both the spot prices and the market expectations of futures prices, 93 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 4: which are particularly important for the off gem price cap. 94 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 4: By the end of this year, we think the level 95 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 4: of price about one and highest of the inflation rate 96 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 4: would end the year not near two, but neither three. 97 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: Finally, another new study has found that muscle strength and 98 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: women over sixties plays a critical role in determining longevity. 99 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: This is the University of Buffalo looked at five thousand 100 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: women age between sixty three and ninety nine. Those who 101 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: had stronger group strength and could do five of those 102 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: unassisted sit to stand chair raisers had a significantly decreased 103 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: risk of early death.

He expects reserves 108 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: can sufficiently support world demand. The world is not going 109 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: to run out of oil. He believes Arun can't afford 110 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: to escalate the war further and therefore will not engage militarily. 111 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: On the straight. Up a moose and it should be 112 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: opened fully in two to three weeks. 113 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: Twelve past six, the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast 114 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks be. 115 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: Very bullish. News out of China. Trade surplus up highest 116 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: on record.

You're talking about Trump. 125 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 10: This is after the sort of topsy turvy that we've 126 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 10: seen to the start of this week. I thought we'd 127 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 10: better give a bit of a market update, and it 128 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 10: will obviously start with. 129 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 9: A key player and all this, which is the oil price. 130 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 10: And it has bounced around overnight between sort of ninety 131 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 10: five bucks and eighty nine bucks. Well that's what I 132 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 10: wrote down about ten minutes ago. It's now just sitting 133 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 10: around eighty seven dollars, So very volatile. But Mike, doesn't 134 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 10: that one hundred and twenty dollars level seem like a 135 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 10: lifetime ago. 136 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 9: But that was actually just Monday. 137 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 10: Look, there's still plenty of nervousness out there, and we 138 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 10: heard it. 139 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 9: We did hear a great comment on Monday. 140 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 10: Actually, if somebody said we're only a single tweet away 141 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 10: from the conflict being over. It does all revolve around 142 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 10: regaining reasonable transport through the Straits of Four Mores, And 143 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 10: as I think I pointed out yesterday, it sort of 144 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 10: needs to happen before producers start shutting down production because 145 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 10: restarts not as simple. 146 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 9: As shutting it down. 147 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 10: Although Mike yesterday, the CEO of Saudi A Ramco, did 148 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 10: give some comfort over that. He said they could start 149 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 10: up production again in days, not weeks, so that's good. 150 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 9: If you cast your across the share markets yesterday. 151 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 10: Asian markets during the day yes day were an absolute 152 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 10: sea of green, so pretty much recovery everywhere. However, most 153 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 10: markets didn't regain the ground they lost a previous day. 154 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 10: And an example of that, the ASX two hundred was 155 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 10: down two five percent on Monday. It only rebounded just 156 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 10: over one percent yesterday. And unfortunately the New Zealand market, 157 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 10: well we didn't join in that rebound party. We were 158 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 10: down five points so in anemic response to the New 159 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 10: Zealand share market. 160 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 9: Also just quickly updating people on New. 161 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 10: Zealand interest rates yesterday morning, I polled out that we'd 162 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 10: had a significant lift in our interest rates. 163 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 9: In the wholesale markets. 164 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 10: Yesterday they fell, but only half the amount they sold 165 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 10: off the previous day. 166 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 9: And Mike, I think you just mentioned this sort of 167 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 9: let's just. 168 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 10: Be objective about what has been said in the last 169 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 10: twenty four hours. 170 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 9: I think you can. 171 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 10: Describe it as being mixed messages out of the US administration. 172 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 10: I sort of did a little take up here. President 173 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 10: Trump said the war would end very soon. He said 174 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 10: the military objectives were pretty well complete, but he also 175 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 10: said they'd hit them hard. Hesgod said it was just beginning, 176 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 10: and then Trump said it's a bit of both. So 177 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 10: I think you actually just need to look at what 178 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 10: the actions are. So and we are hearing overnight that 179 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 10: there is some increased traffic through the Straits of Harmores. 180 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 10: My take is there's still a unhealthy amount of uncertainty here. 181 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 9: It's not quite over yet. 182 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,119 Speaker 2: In New Zealand. I don't know what to worry about 183 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: more the cost of actually buying a ticket or the 184 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 2: long term game for an airline that really is in 185 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: some serious trouble, isn't it. 186 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 10: Yes, very difficult times around national carrier airlines are tough 187 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 10: businesses to run. Mic there's all these critical factors that 188 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 10: you just can't control. Think COVID and fuel prices come 189 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 10: to mind, don't they. Yesterday they used an announcement to 190 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 10: the ends of X suspending their previous earnings guidance. And 191 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 10: the thing here, Mike, is that the business was struggling anyway. 192 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 10: You know, if I want to use a boxing analogy, 193 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 10: it was on the ropes, it was on the canvas, 194 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 10: it was losing money. That's before it got hit by 195 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 10: the fuel crisis. So one of its key input costs 196 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 10: spoke significantly. Jet fuel costs are very volatile, so the 197 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 10: effective cost of a barer of jet fulls almost doubled. 198 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 9: The company was assuming it would lose about. 199 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 10: The same amount of money in the second half of 200 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 10: the year as it did in the first, but the 201 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 10: assumptions it made are how long on appropriate it's expected 202 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 10: to meaningfully affect second half earnings, And there's been a 203 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 10: lot of questions about it. Couldn't they hedge this stuff 204 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 10: while they were actually hedging the Brent crude price, not 205 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 10: the difference the crack spread. Isn't that a wonderful name, 206 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 10: that crackspread? So they need to take action. They are 207 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 10: just the networking schedules required. Somebody did very grimly remind 208 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 10: me yesterday, Mike, that October this year will be the 209 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 10: twenty fifth anniversary of the two thousand and one rescue 210 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 10: plan and nationalization. 211 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: So let's hope that there before list and were short 212 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: on time, just give us a quickie on the truckometer, 213 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: because need some good news. 214 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 10: Good news, nice bounced light Trophic innis lifted two and 215 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 10: a half percent in February or just under that.

Although I know 253 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: the revenue hasn't really changed, so I suppose there's something 254 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: in that. And they've increased their market share against the Chinese, 255 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: so they are laying off people, so I don't think 256 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 2: it's a really good news.

By the way, movement 343 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: to and mortgage servicing it's down to forty two percent 344 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: of your household income, and for good measure, the deposit 345 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: hurdle is easing as well. It's down to nine point 346 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: sixty years it was once for that's for twenty percent. 347 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: It was once a time, once upon a time, thirteen 348 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: years anyway. Calvin Davidson is Cutality's chief property economist and 349 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: is with us. Calvin, good morning, good mon. That forty 350 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: two percent of forty two percent of my income is 351 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 2: on the mortgage now and it used to be high. 352 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: Does that money get spread elsewhere? And this is good 353 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: news for the economy? 354 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 16: Oh yeah, for sure. 355 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 14: Yeah. 356 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 16: Absolutely. If you're spending less on your house, you've got 357 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 16: a bit more cash to spend elsewhere. So yeah, I mean, 358 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 16: I think the point is still that housing is cheap. Definitely, 359 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 16: not saying get into the housing markets easy, but it's 360 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 16: certainly easier than it's been quite some time, and that 361 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 16: will help the wider economy. But there are still some 362 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 16: challenges first honed by certainly in terms of the deposit. 363 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 16: But once they've cleared that hurdle, actually servicing the mortgage 364 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 16: is easier than it's been for a while. 365 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: Let me come back to the deposit in the moment 366 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: the forty two percent. Does that take on board people 367 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: who are also not needing to spend forty two percent 368 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: in other words, they're a head on their mortgage or not. 369 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 16: Yeah, well that's that's that's an average. And yes, we 370 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 16: know at the moment there are some people who have 371 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 16: made the pretty provent decision of getting a hit of 372 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 16: their loans in terms of when interest rates fell, they 373 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 16: keep the payments the same and reduce the turn So yeah, 374 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 16: there's a includes all sorts, but generally the averages has 375 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 16: improved a lot. 376 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 2: The deposit thing though, at nine point six that these 377 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: lvrs the debt to income, are they in the loosening 378 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 2: of are they working? 379 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 16: Yeah, well, I mean I think one thing we've seen 380 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 16: through the cycle is that repayment stress has not been 381 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 16: a big deal. We haven't seen mor G sales, we 382 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 16: haven't seen non performance loans, So I think it tells 383 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 16: you the credit standards have been to fin this time around. 384 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 16: The lvrs and DTIs are helping now. The thing about 385 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 16: the deposit hurdle is still a challenge for sure, but 386 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 16: a lot of first time live are giving in without 387 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 16: twenty percent deposits. The thing about the lvrs. It is 388 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 16: an allowance to the end below twenty percent, so still 389 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 16: a hurdle, but lots of people don't need twenty percent. 390 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: They're getting in with a lot less given that we've 391 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 2: seen still getting in okay. Given what we've seen, though, 392 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: it would appear correct me if I'm wrong, it would 393 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 2: appear that the days of mass house increases price wise 394 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: are gone. Given that, and given that that's what in 395 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: part drives the fear around the size of a deposit, 396 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 2: can we not go a little bit looser on the 397 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 2: deposit therefore get more people into housing? 398 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 14: Yeah? 399 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 17: Possibly. 400 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 16: I mean there's a bank that is the OLVR rules 401 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 16: on first of December, so they didn't actually use the 402 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 16: deposit requirement the speed limits, so they said the bank 403 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 16: you can now lend more at low deposits. So and 404 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 16: that speed limit is still quite high. We're not really 405 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 16: testing that at the moment, so I think there's still 406 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 16: a weird bit of caution out there from both banks 407 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 16: and borrowers. Still a bit of headero in there in 408 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 16: terms of low deposit landing, So probably no great pressure 409 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 16: on that just yet. But yeah, that's always an option 410 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 16: that the bank has. 411 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: For sure, banks have pulled back on what they think 412 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 2: is going to happen price wise for houses this year. 413 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: Does this sort of material change that in other words 414 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: of people, you get ahead of steam and we're often running. 415 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: Does that you know by the end of the year 416 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 2: we seeing a better number or not? 417 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 16: I think this, I mean, here's the old car analogy. 418 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 16: I think this is probably the handbreakers off, but we're 419 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 16: not perhaps on the accelerated yet. I mean, affordability is 420 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 16: sort of a neutral, but I don't think it necessarily 421 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 16: kick starts house prices either, because there are still restraints. 422 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 16: There are things like the DT eyes, but it straights 423 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 16: down economy recovering a bit of confidence coming back. I 424 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 16: think we will see some gross and house prices, but 425 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 16: post COVID boom pretty unlikely. I think you're more liking 426 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 16: it at single digits rather than double digits. 427 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 2: Great stuff, Kelvin. Good to have you on the program, 428 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: as always, Kelvin Davidson out of cautality from trade me 429 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 2: this morning. They're asking price, which I'm not a fan 430 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: of because what you ask for and what you get 431 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 2: are two different things. Anyway, eight hundred and eighty three. 432 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 2: This is for February eight hundred and eighty three thousand. 433 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: It's a sustained three point one percent month on month increase. 434 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: A lot of places up. The only places I can 435 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 2: find immediately that are materially down a Hawk's Bay, Marlborough 436 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: and Taranaki. Apart from that, everyone done north and it's 437 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: not very good. But the rest of the country seems 438 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 2: to be doing okay. And we've got to stop this 439 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 2: handbreak thing. How long before because most handbreaks are automatic 440 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 2: now therefore we don't apply the handbrake anymore, So how 441 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 2: long before we don't go? Well, it's the old car 442 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 2: analogy with the handbreak. There is no handbreak, so we 443 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 2: can't do it. There's still an accelerator. And my next 444 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: question was is you can petrol electric? Given that's you know, 445 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 2: that's front of mind at the moment. But anyway, I'll 446 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: move on now nineteen to two. 447 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 448 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: by newstalksp. 449 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: I've been all over the news.

Well, some decisions, of course are out of 454 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 2: our hands.

Right, here's the war on a run 481 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 18: near its end or at its beginning. You can take 482 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 18: your pick from these Trump comments over just the past 483 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 18: several hours. 484 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 5: It's going to be a short term excursion. Will not 485 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 5: relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated. We've 486 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 5: already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough. 487 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 5: We're achieving major strides toward completing our military objective, and 488 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 5: some people could say they're pretty well complete. I could 489 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 5: call it, or we could go further. 490 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 18: Okay, then what we can say is that some of 491 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 18: Trump's toughest language is about oil being blocked from the 492 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 18: straight of Hormos, because that can affect everyone. Already, we 493 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 18: see the financial markets bouncing around. Saudi Arabia's Aramco will 494 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 18: because it will export it says there will be quite 495 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 18: catastrophic consequences if Iran continues to obstruct that passage. Trump 496 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 18: has raised the idea of having the US police that zone, 497 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 18: but former CICHI for time General David Petraea says that's 498 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 18: easiest said than done if the war does not end 499 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 18: and in soon. 500 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 19: He says, if it doesn't, we're going to have to 501 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 19: start escorting tankers, creating a safe corridor through the Gulf 502 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 19: and also out of the Strait of Hermus. And that's 503 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 19: a major military mission to take on. And although we've 504 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 19: degraded their navy very considerably, there still are many subs, 505 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 19: fast boats, the missiles that could cause problems, drones and 506 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 19: so forth. 507 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 18: So there's part of the answer to the question you 508 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 18: just raised. The effects on petrol prices here have been instant, 509 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 18: even though the US is actually an oil export of 510 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 18: these times. So why did prices surge here about what 511 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 18: half a minute after the war started. It's because oil 512 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 18: prices are set as a world market, So there's global 513 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 18: crude prices rocketed to a more than three year high 514 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 18: this week before eating but pinning near one hundred and 515 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 18: twenty US barrel dollars A barrel the oil producer that 516 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 18: I'm going to sell it here for half that, So 517 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 18: folks at gas stations are stunned. 518 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 5: Ridiculous, crazy, insane. 519 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 9: I couldn't afford to fill it. 520 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 17: May take. 521 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 19: I'm kind of afraid that it's gonna go up higher 522 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 19: in the coming weeks. 523 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 18: Could do this is of course the US election year. 524 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 18: The Trump team worried they could lose control of both 525 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 18: the House and the Senate with this playing into it. 526 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 18: Trump has said refuel prices. 527 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 5: And new oil prices would go up if I did this, 528 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 5: and they've got up probably less than I thought they'd 529 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 5: go out. 530 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 18: Yeah, that can to satisfy no one. By the way, 531 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 18: when Los Angeles petrol station just posted self served prices 532 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 18: at the equivalent of three dollars sixty four New Zealand 533 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 18: per liter, that is way above the norm even in California. 534 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 18: But yeah, the Poles are showing this war is opposed 535 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 18: by most Americans, so that it is a sharp difference 536 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 18: from conflicts in the past. When the US went to 537 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 18: war with Afghanistan, there was initially ninety two percent support. 538 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 18: Of course, that was right after septembery eleventh for the 539 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 18: Persian Gulf ward nineteen ninety one, initial backing was eighty 540 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 18: two percent for the Iraq war. In O three it 541 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 18: was seventy six percent. A royt A's IPSOS poll here 542 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 18: has support for the Iran war at twenty seven percent. 543 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 18: As to the military action, there is still concern over 544 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 18: the partially and rich Uranian that was very underrubble during 545 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 18: the June attacks on Iran last year. Then there is 546 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,239 Speaker 18: a question about who Trump can deal with. Now the 547 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 18: old Iyatoler is dead and his second son, Maurris s Tabor, 548 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 18: how many is the chosen replacement. This is someone who 549 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 18: lost in the US Australian attack so far, his father, 550 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 18: his wife, and his son. So replacing the old Iotoler 551 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,719 Speaker 18: with a younger, angrier Iotol, he's not someone Trump can 552 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 18: deal with. And he says now, I. 553 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 5: Was disappointed because we think it's going to lead to 554 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 5: just more of the same problem for the country. So 555 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 5: I was disappointed to see their choice. 556 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 18: Trump also is refusing to take responsibility for the deadly 557 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 18: Runnian school strike at the start of the war, or 558 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 18: at least one hundred and seventy five people, mostly children, 559 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 18: were said to have been killed. The New York Times 560 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 18: is saying now that mangled missile. Fragments from the site 561 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 18: show the markings of American Tomahawk cruise missile, including serial numbers, 562 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 18: as the US was said to have been targeting an 563 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 18: adjacent naval base. Trump claims it is still an open question, 564 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 18: still being investigated, and says the American made Tomahawk missiles. 565 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 5: You know, is sold and used by other countries, you 566 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 5: know that. And whether it's Iran, who also has some Tomahawks. 567 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 5: They wish they had more. But whether it's Iran or 568 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 5: somebody else, the fact that tomahawk or tomahawk is very 569 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 5: generic are the countries. But that's being investigated. 570 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 18: Simply untrue. Iran has no Tomahawks in any country the 571 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 18: US has sold these missiles to would have required State 572 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 18: Department approva before any transfers to a third party like Iran. 573 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: See Friday Richard Arnold state side. They're also voting today 574 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 2: in Georgia. This is the fourteenth congressional district. Wise list 575 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 2: of interest, it's Marjorie Taylor Green. Of course she blew up. 576 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,479 Speaker 2: She's gone. So it's a Republican stronghold. That's not really 577 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: the issue. But they need to work out who's going 578 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 2: to replace a Trump's got behind a guy called Clay Fuller. 579 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 2: But the problem is there are Democrats and Republicans in 580 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 2: the race, and there are seventeen candidates. So watch that 581 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 2: today with interest nine to seven, the mic asking Breakfast 582 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: with a Vida, Retirement, Communities News, togstead be Yeah, how 583 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 2: come Mike Iran can block the stratophor miss Well, they're 584 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: not blocking the stratopher mouse. The stratophor most isn't even closed. 585 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 2: They say it's closed, but it isn't. There's about one 586 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 2: and a half million barrels of oil going through there today. 587 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 2: The risk is the violence. You don't need a navy. 588 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: What you need because the thing's only three miles wide. 589 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: What you need is somebody standing on the side with 590 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 2: a drone launcher and off you go. In fact, for 591 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: a drone, you don't even need a launcher. That's their fear, 592 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 2: their fear. You don't need boats and ships and stuff 593 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 2: from the other side. All you need is some drones 594 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 2: and some missiles and some bombs. 595 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 6: And a threat. 596 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 2: Essentially, you just need a threat, and the insurance goes 597 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 2: through the roof. And people don't want to work on 598 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 2: the ships, and therefore they don't go through. But as 599 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 2: I told you yesterday, there are people willing to take 600 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: the risk. The price of a ship has gone up 601 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 2: substantially in the period of time, and there is oil 602 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 2: moving through it. Yesterday I note with a great deal 603 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 2: of interest actually that the Iranians are talking about the 604 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 2: potential of duties. So in other words, they'll open it 605 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: up for you if you pay them some money, because 606 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: of course they will need money to start rebuilding the place. 607 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 2: When this thing's finally over, five away from seven, all. 608 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: The inns are the ouse. It's the fizz with business favor. 609 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 15: Take your business productivity to the next level. 610 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: Moor Housing us Barfoot and Thompson. This time they got 611 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: their rental activity for Auckland, Northland in the Bay of Plenty. 612 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 2: What are we seeing here? Activity for February up again. 613 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: This is the third consecutive month of a rising demand. 614 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: Inquiries for rentals were up six point two percent in 615 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 2: feb compared with January and up thirty five percent year 616 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 2: on year. Applications up six point seven percent month on 617 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 2: month twenty eight percent year on year. Rents mostly unchanged, 618 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: which is encouraging Auckland. The average rent in February was 619 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: a couple of cents under sixty nine sevens. Let's call 620 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: it seven hundred, which is less than a dollar increase 621 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 2: on the three month average and only zero point seven 622 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 2: percent higher than a year ago. Now this is where 623 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 2: Luxon could help himself out. I'm watching question Time. Yesterday, 624 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: Hipkins alleged that rents had gone up significantly. The answer 625 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 2: is they haven't. We know they haven't. I've just given 626 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 2: you the facts that they haven't. Rents are not up. 627 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 2: And all the Luxon had to do is stand up 628 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 2: and go you're wrong. They're not up at all. Sit 629 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 2: back down, Boom done, Mike drop north and Hepkins had 630 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: a bad day yesterday. He's the only one left. I 631 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 2: kind of felt sorry for him. The COVID report came 632 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 2: out and they nailed them. They hammered him and they 633 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 2: would not let go, and he got about it. He 634 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 2: kept going point of order, point of border was to speak, 635 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 2: a point of order as sort of went nowhere. And 636 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: I felt bad for him, because, of course, was Robinson's 637 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 2: laughing all the way to the bank down at the 638 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: University of Otago, and Jacinda's at the beach and wherever 639 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: the hell she's at the beach, if you want to 640 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 2: know where you Cindra is, go to the Herald. Here 641 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: all the Herald love Jasindra doing breaks Instagram silence. I 642 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: thought tracker or something was el Whether they're bound to 643 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: be a live tracker along with the weather forecast? The 644 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: weather forecast and where's Jasinda currently? Rely on the Herald 645 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: for that? In Northland by plenty, rents have only gone 646 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: up zero point two percent month on month. Simming and 647 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 2: brown on the aforementioned does it? Does it solve any problems? 648 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: Another report into COVID will ask him some questions about 649 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 2: that for you, very shortly. 650 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: Credible, compelling. The breakfast show you can't miss. It's the 651 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: mic Hosking Breakfast with Ranger of a Sport SV the 652 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: Ultimate Performance SUV News togs HEEADV. 653 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: Welling seven past seven. So Part two of the COVID 654 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 2: inquiry has been released and said basically what you thought 655 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,239 Speaker 2: would The initial response was balanced because no one had 656 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: a clue. But by the time they did, the power 657 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 2: had gone to the government's head and mistakes were being made. 658 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 2: Anger was building in, money was being wasted. Syming In 659 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 2: Browns the health man, good morning, good morning, Mike. Is 660 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 2: that a fair summation. 661 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 17: I think so. 662 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 20: I mean, I think for most New Zealanders that agreed 663 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 20: that the starting point of the response, New Zealands were 664 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 20: on board. They sacrificed a huge amount to save lives 665 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 20: and livelihoods. But as the pandemic continued, restrictions went on 666 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 20: for too long. And what this report highlights is those 667 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 20: restrictions went on beyond what Health advice said they should 668 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 20: and the government spent too much, causing many of the 669 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 20: challenges that we're facing today in terms of inflation, in 670 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 20: the economic impacts that we're still dealing with across New 671 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 20: Zealand right now. 672 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 2: And does this prove that the value we needed part 673 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: two because Part one was a stitch up, which is 674 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 2: ironic given the control freak government tried to control freak 675 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: themselves through the first COVID inquiry. 676 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 20: Look, absolutely this report was needed. The previous government did 677 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 20: not want the hard questions to be answered in relation 678 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 20: to the big calls. The first report didn't look at lockdowns, 679 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 20: didn't look at the vaccine mandates, didn't look at the 680 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 20: economic impact. And the reality for New Zealand is that 681 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 20: those lockdowns were significant, the economic impact. We're still paying 682 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 20: the consequences of that today, and of course there's been 683 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 20: some issues raised in relation to particularly childhood or teenage 684 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 20: vaccine mandates that have been brought to the light because 685 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 20: of this report. So this report was needed. It highlights 686 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 20: some significant lessons and listening to Cross Hopkins yesterday, it 687 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 20: appears he hasn't learned from them. 688 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 2: No, That's how I'm talking to him later. I worry 689 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,479 Speaker 2: about that because I mean, what else can you do? 690 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 2: I mean, he took a beating yesterday because all of 691 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 2: his cohorts run for the hills. One doesn't even love 692 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 2: in the country anymore, in the others down south at 693 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 2: the university, and Nashley's not talking well. Ultimately, the. 694 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 20: Statement from the former Prime Minister c Cinderadan and Grant 695 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 20: Robinson said that they accepted all of the accepted the 696 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 20: report and its entirety. Chris Hopkins is saying he doesn't. 697 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 20: What that says is that he hasn't actually learned the 698 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 20: lessons from his time as Prime minister. And what it 699 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 20: says is New Zealanders were right to vote him out 700 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 20: at the twenty twenty three election and in November the seventh, 701 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 20: they'll be right to keep him out now. 702 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: See. That's when I can't work out, do you reckon? 703 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 2: People are over it and don't want to revisit it, 704 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 2: or people are still in the quiet of a ballot 705 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 2: box angry about it and will act in that sense. 706 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 20: Oh look, I think this was some of the biggest 707 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 20: decisions affecting New Zealander's lives and livelihoods in generations. People 708 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 20: remember this deeply, they feel it deeply. I was I'm 709 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 20: an imp in an Auckland electorate INMP for Pucket Hunger. 710 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 20: The people in my electorate couldn't see their loved ones 711 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 20: who were in hospital dying. They couldn't go and visit 712 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 20: family members outside of Auckland who were who were very unwell. 713 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 20: These fell came and sort help from me, and they 714 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 20: are still feeling angry about the decisions that were made. 715 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 20: And what this report says is those lockdowns did go 716 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 20: on too long. That restriction that boundary around Auckland in 717 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 20: twenty one twenty two wasn't necessary. That impacted people's lives. 718 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 20: It impacted their livelihoods, and the right thing for Chris 719 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 20: Hipkins to do is to learn the lessons. That's why 720 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 20: we did this report. 721 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time Simming and Brown Health Minister Criss Hapkins 722 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 2: with us after the seventh thirty News ten minutes past 723 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 2: seven Pasco. The pressing matter is part of the oil 724 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: price fall out, seeing Air New Zealand of course suspend 725 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 2: their earnings guidance put their prices up. Kather Bryan's executive 726 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 2: director for the Border Airline Representatives and is back. Well, 727 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 2: there's Kath morning to you. Good morning mate, This is everybody. 728 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 2: I mean, we're focusing on the New Zealand because we 729 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: go in the airline, but I mean contents have put 730 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 2: their prices up. Everyone's going to put their prices up, 731 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 2: aren't they. 732 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 14: Yeah, certainly. You know, price rises are kind of inevitable 733 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 14: at the moment, and multiple airlines are responding. 734 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 2: Will we see demand drop because what we've learned out 735 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 2: of COVID is you can charge anything people want to 736 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: buy a seat. 737 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 14: Yeah. Look, I think we are going to see demand 738 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 14: changes and it is a little early to say, but 739 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 14: that increasing price of the travel and the challenge of 740 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 14: the travel depending on where you're going, you know, may 741 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 14: see people change their travel plans. And I think that's 742 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 14: a further effect that we yet to properly see. 743 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, is there New Zealand an outlie given there in 744 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 2: a mixed state. Anyway, this has come along at the 745 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 2: worst possible time. 746 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 14: Yeah, certainly they are already in a very difficult position, 747 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 14: and I think that's what sets them apart, you know 748 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 14: from other airlines making the same sorts of choices. They've 749 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 14: got fewer cards to play and they've very sensibly made 750 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 14: that decision to suspend guidance. 751 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 2: I've read United the bloke who runs United yesterday said yes, 752 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 2: it'll hit Q two for us. But we're seeing a 753 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,959 Speaker 2: huge increase in demand out of the Middle East because 754 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 2: you can't go there for now, in through the America's 755 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: up through Asia. Does New in New Zealand gain from 756 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 2: that as well as people readjust their travel, Yeah, I think. 757 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 14: You know, there will be some change in travel and 758 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 14: potentially we might see more shorthaul for example, you know 759 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 14: from this market to the Australia or Pacific destinations, and 760 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 14: certainly in New Zealand will see some of that benefit, 761 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 14: but that might be more of a swap of demand 762 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 14: from one to another rather than new demand. 763 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 2: What about Nick Smith yesterday, the angstiness out of places 764 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: like Nelson root Cuts, is that real? And if it is, 765 00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 2: how bad is that? 766 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 16: Yeah? 767 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 14: I think that's for in New Zealand to speak to 768 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 14: and I think you know that there will have to 769 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 14: be some difficult choices, and I think it's not clear 770 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 14: yet exactly what those will be. 771 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 2: Okay, Kath, nice to talk to you. Kathera Bryant, who's 772 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 2: with the border airline representatives Quantus they've said five percent. 773 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 2: They gave some numbers in New Zealand. Where's Nickel? By 774 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 2: the way, I mean, hello, Nicol, good morning. You might 775 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 2: want to talk heret But this reminds me of Greg 776 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 2: fur him when he first arrived in the country and 777 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 2: he didn't want to talk to us. He said his 778 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 2: head down was bum up and he had a COVID 779 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 2: problem to deal with, which is fair enough, but at 780 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: times like this, the head of a New Zealand needs 781 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 2: to be front and center. Quantus five percent, so in 782 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 2: New Zealand is saying like ten dollars a year, ninety 783 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 2: dollars off you on a flight. In New York, Quantas 784 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 2: are saying generally it'll very root to rout, but they're 785 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 2: talking about five percent. Thirteen past Pasky News though, AND's 786 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: COO who do the meat they've got some shipments to beat. 787 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 2: They're not overly exposed, but they've got some shipments up 788 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,240 Speaker 2: in the Middle East. Here's the good news. Because it's chilled, 789 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: this is a long life. There's the advantage of refrigeration. 790 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 2: Their chilled stuff which is up in the Middle East 791 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: at the moment, lasts one hundred and twenty days, so 792 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 2: that's three months. So you'd be running. What would I 793 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: be running? I'd be going one twenty days? Is the 794 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 2: war still going old? And I thought, so, I reckon 795 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 2: I could get it to market. They're going to look 796 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 2: to bring some of it back and sell it domestically, 797 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 2: so it could be some could be some cheap steak 798 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 2: for you. So there's an upside to everything, isn't there. 799 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 2: Thirteen Past the. 800 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 1: Hike, Asking Breakfast Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 801 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: News Talks at b. 802 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 2: Now coming up seventeen past seven.

I think vector 826 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 2: run it and they go, I'm tulip, I can understand you, 827 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, I don't know what I wanted to 828 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 2: whether I want to kill it or whether it's aptit. 829 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 2: I mean, it seems to me we're a mile off 830 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 2: in terms of AI. Have actually been useful or am 831 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 2: I just impatient? 832 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 21: Well, far beat from me to say that you're impatient, like, 833 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 21: But what I would say is that if you've got 834 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 21: AI that's masquerating as AI, and I don't know anything 835 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 21: about culip so I can't discuss on that one. But 836 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 21: if you've got AI that's not clever and doesn't feel 837 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 21: like a great experience for you, then that probably means 838 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 21: that you've got AI that is just for show. It's 839 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 21: not being connected up to all of the data and 840 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 21: the systems and the information that an organization holds about you, 841 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 21: because it's not really able to help you unless it's 842 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,760 Speaker 21: got the real information about you as a customer's. 843 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 2: Asking for good answer because they don't on shore or offshore. 844 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 2: Where are we at with the onshore offshore thing in 845 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 2: terms of call centers and help and wait times and stuff. 846 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 21: Well, I don't think that that's necessarily the issue anymore 847 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 21: about where this thing is located, because where we're seeing 848 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 21: organizations get massive leaps and customer service, it's actually because 849 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 21: they're using AI and that technology investment is definitely starting 850 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 21: to pay off for them. You know, you talked about 851 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 21: the banks having a pretty good turn on the response 852 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 21: times and customer weights, et cetera. And that's because they've 853 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 21: been able to invest over the period of time. We're 854 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 21: definitely seeing customers say that they want to engage with 855 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 21: AI though, So seventy two percent of New Zealanders say 856 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 21: that they are willing to embrace AI and they actually 857 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 21: want to use self service first. That's a tipping point. 858 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 21: There is no going back on that, So. 859 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 6: That is the expectation. 860 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 21: They think that fifty five percent of key we say 861 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 21: that they'll get a benefit out of twenty four x 862 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 21: seven from AI and that they'll get improve feed efficiency. 863 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,959 Speaker 21: So kiwis are saying, hey, I'm up for this, NHG. 864 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 21: I'd like you to use this technology. They're also saying 865 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 21: that wait times are a massive deal breaker for them. 866 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 21: So twenty percent of people will make a complaint, twenty 867 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 21: percent of people will request a refund, and half of 868 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 21: them will leave you after a bad customer experience. So 869 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 21: we've got to get this right. 870 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 2: Well done, Kate nice and I appreciate it very much. 871 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 2: Kate Tolp, She's such a nice person. I will most 872 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 2: forgiven for the producing such a large report. Jack Dorsey 873 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 2: when she says AI Jackdawsy, what was the what's his thing? 874 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 2: The other day it's the art who Block was to 875 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 2: read a very good piece in the Australian media. They 876 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 2: said this real AI is real in terms of jobs, 877 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 2: those sort of jobs you talk about call centers. The 878 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 2: AI piece quote unquote is very real because there's an 879 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 2: argument around saying, are they sort of AI washing at 880 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: the moment, just pretending it's going to lose it? It's real. 881 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 2: There are going to be there's going to be a 882 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 2: swathe of jobs cleaned out because of AI, and that 883 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 2: we could it be argued that jobs to do with 884 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 2: social media weren't real jobs are the first one I 885 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 2: could argue that seven twenty. 886 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, power 887 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 888 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 17: It'd be. 889 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,439 Speaker 2: Now, if you like value, let's be honest, who doesn't 890 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 2: You want to see chemist warehouse.

Yes, yes, yes, it's all at 910 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 2: chemist Warehouse. Skiing right seven twenty four. Some simple observations 911 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 2: on the COVID report Part two. One, it's cheaper than 912 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 2: the British equivalent finished last week that cost over half 913 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 2: a billion. Two it says pretty much what you thought 914 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 2: at would three. I'm convinced it's a waste of time 915 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 2: because a pandemic response is about the ideology, and government 916 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 2: did the day not medical process. Four Why do I 917 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 2: say that? Read the report. It says numerous times good 918 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 2: advice was ignored. Five did the Labour government broadly cock 919 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 2: it up? 920 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:26,959 Speaker 11: Yes? 921 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 2: Six badly? Yes. Seven. The report says, at its heart 922 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 2: people tried hard. They wanted to do the right thing. 923 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 2: Eight is that acceptable answer? Sort of? But wanting to 924 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 2: do well isn't the same as actually doing well. Nine 925 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 2: It's hard to work out what's worse, the medical cockups 926 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,800 Speaker 2: or the financial ones. Ten. Robinson and his economic vandalism 927 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 2: came out of it, probably as bad as Adirn in 928 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 2: her megalomania. Eleven They were too slow, I would argue, 929 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 2: because they were lazy. They sat in opposition for nine years, 930 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 2: not expecting to get to government. They weren't sharp already, 931 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 2: So not only did Winston hand them a lifeline, they 932 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 2: got a pay pandemic to boot. They never stood a 933 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 2: chance that weren't match fit Twelve. It's as much our 934 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 2: fault as anyone. A party that gets about thirty percent 935 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 2: support in any given MMP election in twenty twenty got fifty. 936 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 2: Too many of us love being told how to wipe 937 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 2: our bums, and too many of us were too lazy 938 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 2: to think and work out whether this was all heading thirteen, 939 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 2: the tide turned and given any response, pandemic or war 940 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 2: or just playing. Policy is reliant on public goodwill. Once 941 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 2: it did turn labor, we're done for fourteen. The factor 942 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 2: doourn can't live in the country tells you very clearly 943 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 2: how badly the tide turned. Fifteen. I'm no more confident 944 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 2: today we are any more ready for a pandemic, although 945 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 2: if we can take anything from the report sixteen, it's 946 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 2: the recommendation that public debt needs to drop so we 947 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,280 Speaker 2: can be more ready for an unpredictable world war. Anyone 948 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 2: seventeen the report, Neither of them were really needed. We 949 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 2: are the experts. We lived through it. Some of us 950 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 2: still bear the scars. Asking Mike on the COVID report, 951 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 2: I firmly believe if this government tries to legislate a 952 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 2: better lockdown framework for future pandemics, they can forget it. 953 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 2: We will not comply. I broadly Trevor would agree with you. 954 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 2: How a government going forward handles any pandemic in future 955 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 2: is going to be going to be an interesting exercise. 956 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 2: Let's hope we don't have to deal with it. Mike, 957 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 2: the COVID response will inform my vote. Well, it must do, 958 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 2: mustn't it, because it's the financial fallout that we're still 959 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 2: dealing with, and it's the same people coming back for more. 960 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 2: Barbara Edmunds, Chrisipkins, Asha Verial, Jan Tinetti, Carmel Sepaloni. They're 961 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,760 Speaker 2: not different. They haven't apologized, as Simeon said, they haven't reformed, 962 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 2: they haven't changed, and they want more of it. So 963 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 2: it's a weird thing. And that's part of the reason 964 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 2: why I say this government will get re elected. If 965 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 2: the previous labor government is to blame for the economy, 966 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 2: why is cost of living a global problem? Seems like 967 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 2: a bum wrap deon. The reason is it's an okay question. 968 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 2: It's not a great question, it's an okay question. The 969 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 2: reason is everyone broadly did the same thing. It's not 970 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 2: about how you reacted, it's to what extinct you reacted. 971 00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 2: Everyone closed the door, everyone had a rule, one had 972 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 2: a mandate of some sort. It's how hard you went, 973 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 2: how informed you were or weren't, and how long all 974 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 2: that lasted that caused the problems. So you can do 975 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 2: the same thing but better than somebody else. We just 976 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 2: did it particularly poorly, Mike Cathay Pacific forty grand Australian 977 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 2: for a business ticket Sydney through to London and selling 978 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 2: out people still willing to bleed to get on a plane. 979 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 2: I keep telling you that's going to make no difference, 980 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 2: and the petrol's going to make no difference either. I 981 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 2: don't think we're at the point where anyone's going to 982 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 2: jump on a bus. Ah. Chris Hipkins, right, I need 983 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 2: a couple of minutes to get ready for this. He's next. 984 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: No fluff, just facts and fierce debate. The mic Hosking 985 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: breakfast with Bailey's real estate altogether better across residential, commercial 986 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: and rural news talks had been. 987 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 2: Politics Wednesday Uproade, Mark Mitchell, Jenny Anderson. It course me 988 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 2: in partly twenty three minutes away from Late Back two, 989 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 2: like COVID Part two, ironically released it as the country 990 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 2: faces its latest way. I'm told thirty one thousand submiss 991 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 2: were made. You know what it says by now, and 992 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 2: your response was fine. It went downhill from there. Chrishipkins 993 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 2: as the Labor leader and former COVID minister, of course, 994 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 2: and is with us. Good morning, Good morning, Mike. 995 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 6: I'm please you haven't lost my number. 996 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 2: Completely, no worries at all. It's on a speed dial 997 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 2: for appropriate occasions. Should I feel sorry for you? I 998 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 2: felt a bit sorry for you yesterday getting beaten up 999 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 2: in the house. 1000 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 6: Oh look, I mean the that's politics, isn't it. I mean, 1001 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 6: it's always easy to look back on things when you've 1002 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 6: got two and a half years to look at them 1003 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,919 Speaker 6: in retrospect and say you could have done this, could 1004 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 6: have done that, could have done this. It was a 1005 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 6: pretty extraordinary time. I think the COVID Royal Commission, despite 1006 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 6: its loaded terms of reference, actually came up with a 1007 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 6: pretty fair and balanced report. 1008 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 2: Would you argue it was actually needed given you stitched 1009 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 2: up Phase one? 1010 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 6: I think? I mean, I disagree that we stitched up 1011 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 6: Phase one. But while I was skeptical about the terms 1012 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 6: of reference that I'm on record as being skeptical about that, 1013 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 6: I actually think they did a pretty good job, and 1014 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 6: I think it's a useful addition to the record of 1015 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 6: what happened during the COVID period. 1016 00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 2: The twelve to seventeen mandate. Thing wasn't part of Phase one, 1017 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 2: was part of Phase two. That alone makes Phase two worthwhile, 1018 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 1019 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,799 Speaker 6: I certainly think they've highlighted a real issue there, which 1020 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 6: was that while minister's got some initial advice and queried 1021 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 6: there to the actual advice that raised concerns about, you know, 1022 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,439 Speaker 6: myocarditis for those younger people being vaccinated was never given 1023 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 6: to ministers. And yes, that highlighted I think a very 1024 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:29,240 Speaker 6: real issue is that on Bloomfield, I know with someone, 1025 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 6: whether it was someone or a group of people within 1026 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 6: the Ministry of Health, clearly didn't pass that evidence on 1027 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 6: to the ministers. And I think that is a failing 1028 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 6: of the Ministry of Health. 1029 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 2: But if you believe in the buck stops at the top, 1030 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 2: Bloomfield was at the top and he didn't pass it on, 1031 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 2: it's on him, isn't it. 1032 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,760 Speaker 6: You could argue that. I think actually Bloomfield, on balance, 1033 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 6: you know, did an outstanding job and he was getting 1034 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 6: a lot of advice and a lot of information. I've 1035 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 6: disappointed that advice didn't come to ministers. I don't know 1036 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,280 Speaker 6: whether that was specifically his decision or someone else's. 1037 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 2: Could you argue that if you got that advice you 1038 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 2: would have one hundred percent acted on it. 1039 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 6: Well, of course I don't know, but reading it now, yes, 1040 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 6: it raises concerns that I certainly would have had some 1041 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 6: very serious conversations with them about of the. 1042 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 2: Problems that have been highlighted, what would you argue were 1043 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 2: the most damaging the medical side of the equation or 1044 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,760 Speaker 2: the financial side of the equation. 1045 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 6: I think the medical side of the equation. Actually, if 1046 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,760 Speaker 6: you look at the concerns about the vaccine being rolled 1047 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 6: rushed its roll out and not being properly approved and 1048 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 6: so on, I actually think the Royal Commission did a 1049 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 6: very good job of going through that in great detail 1050 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,359 Speaker 6: and saying no, actually this was a thorough process, it 1051 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 6: was very safe and you know, the right steps were followed. 1052 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,399 Speaker 6: So I think the Royal Commission actually did a very 1053 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 6: good job of speaking to those concerns. The broader issues 1054 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 6: around the economy and around government spending and so on. 1055 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,879 Speaker 6: There's a lot of political arguments in there. The Royal 1056 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 6: Commission have a view, various economists have a view, we'd 1057 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,759 Speaker 6: have a view, the current government have a view, and 1058 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 6: I don't think anyone's going to have a completely A 1059 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 6: you on that. 1060 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 2: No pik you see to me was when Stuart Nash 1061 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 2: was on this program arguing that fishing boat cameras money 1062 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 2: was from COVID, and I thought this was too mental 1063 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 2: for words. Do you with the benefit of hindsight, except 1064 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 2: that you went nuts with the money. 1065 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 6: Well, some of the things that the government did during 1066 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 6: that period of things we would have done anyway. Some 1067 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 6: of the things that recorded as COVID nineteen expended DAWs 1068 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 6: not COVID nineteen expenditure, and the Royal Commission's reported. I 1069 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 6: would argue, actually were so things like supporting kids to 1070 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,439 Speaker 6: learn from home, you know, providing them resources to learn 1071 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 6: from home. They said, that's not related to COVID nineteen. 1072 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,959 Speaker 6: I would say that actually telling kids that they needed 1073 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 6: to keep doing this schooling while their at home is 1074 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,439 Speaker 6: related to COVID nine. 1075 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,240 Speaker 2: What about fishing boat cameras. 1076 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot. There were things that the government was 1077 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 6: doing at that time that they argue it was not 1078 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 6: COVID nineteen expenditure. That's probably fear. I think the government 1079 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 6: would have ended up doing those things anyway. 1080 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 14: Right. 1081 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 2: What about school lunches. 1082 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 6: School lunches was part of our work to get the 1083 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 6: country back to work, and maybe we should have actually 1084 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 6: cooked well, maybe we should have called it something else. 1085 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 6: Maybe we should have actually separated and said, look, there's 1086 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 6: a COVID nineteen response fund, and there's the broad Economic 1087 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 6: Recovery and we should have actually maybe we should have 1088 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 6: called them, you know, different things, but making sure the 1089 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,320 Speaker 6: economy rebounded from COVID nineteen was a priority to the government, 1090 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 6: and those that funds did both of those things. 1091 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 2: Is there any difficulty that sits with you at the moment? See, 1092 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 2: I know that Robinson put out a statement along with 1093 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 2: the Dune yesterday and Bloomfield isn't talking, and I mean 1094 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 2: everyone's run for the hills and you're the last SAP standing. 1095 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 2: I mean, does it would you like a bit of 1096 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 2: support from them? 1097 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,840 Speaker 6: Look, people, they are allowed to move on with their lives. 1098 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 6: I mean, it's pretty unusual for a government to be 1099 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 6: subjected to the amount of Post Office scrutiny that they 1100 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 6: have been, you know, very few. I mean, John Keaty, 1101 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 6: you could have gone back and had a Royal commission 1102 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,840 Speaker 6: on the government's response and to the Canterbury earthquakes after 1103 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 6: he had left office. I don't think that never happened. 1104 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 6: You know, you can always go back, but eventually people 1105 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,720 Speaker 6: are allowed to move on with their lives. 1106 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 2: Okay, do you feel one that this will still be 1107 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,919 Speaker 2: a part of some people's votes come November and two. 1108 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 2: If it is, have you been contrite enough? 1109 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 6: I think if it's a part of I don't think 1110 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,919 Speaker 6: it will be a part of a lot of people's votes. 1111 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 6: But I think for those who is who you know, 1112 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,319 Speaker 6: for who it is a major issue, I'm not sure 1113 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 6: that anything's going to change their perspectives on it. I 1114 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 6: think they will have locked in their view one way 1115 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 6: or the other. 1116 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 2: So you do you feel you've been contrite at all 1117 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 2: or not? 1118 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 16: Well? 1119 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 6: I mean I said years ago actually that I thought 1120 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 6: that that transition from COVID nineteen elimination to ending the lockdowns, 1121 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,320 Speaker 6: ending the boundary around Auckland and sort of the living 1122 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 6: with COVID in the community was not as good as 1123 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 6: I would have liked it to have been. I think 1124 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 6: there are some of the Waal Commission's criticisms of that 1125 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 6: are actually quite fear Did. 1126 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,280 Speaker 2: You actually make mistakes like straight up and down black 1127 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 2: and white? I got that wrongs? 1128 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean if you look at the I mean, 1129 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 6: I've said this before. I think if I could go 1130 00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,080 Speaker 6: back and make decisions again on the end of a 1131 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 6: lockdown and Awklord, I would do that differently. If I 1132 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 6: was going to make mistakes, you make decisions around the 1133 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 6: role out of rat testing where there was a conflict 1134 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 6: between ministers and the Ministry of Health, I would have 1135 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 6: pushed Hadda to do that faster. So you know, I 1136 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 6: think not doing some of those things were mistakes, and 1137 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 6: if I could go back and do them again, I 1138 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 6: would do them differently. 1139 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 2: One of the things in the report that appeals to 1140 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 2: me in terms of an idea is there's a pressing 1141 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 2: need quote unquote to reduce public debt to provide a 1142 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 2: buffer for future pandemics or other economic shocks. And yet 1143 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 2: I read with Barbara Edmonds in this now famous article 1144 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 2: with Thomas Coglan, She's not running a surplus anytime soon, 1145 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 2: so public debt's not going down. So you still run 1146 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,879 Speaker 2: the same ideology, and when the next pandemic arrives, you'll 1147 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 2: be no better prepared than you were last time. 1148 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,920 Speaker 6: No, I disagree with that assertion, Mike. I think what 1149 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,800 Speaker 6: we have to have as a conversation of the country 1150 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 6: about how we pay for the things that we need 1151 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 6: to do so we need to build some long lived 1152 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 6: infrastructure and borrowings of those things is actually a very 1153 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,440 Speaker 6: reasonable thing to do, such as if you're buying a 1154 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,439 Speaker 6: new house, you might borrow some money and you pay 1155 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 6: that off over time. The issue is if you're borrowing 1156 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 6: to pay the power bill, then that's not sustainable. So 1157 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 6: we do need to get to a position as a 1158 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,919 Speaker 6: country where we're no longer borrowing to pay for things 1159 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 6: like people on jobs that could benefits and superannuation, but 1160 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:20,320 Speaker 6: borrowing for investment and long lived effets that will benefit 1161 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,960 Speaker 6: future generations is a legitimate thing for governments to do. 1162 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 2: But you're not reducing public debt, and if you're not 1163 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 2: reducing public that you're not preparing the country. So that's 1164 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 2: a worry, isn't it. 1165 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 6: And I disagree because actually some of those long lived assets, 1166 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 6: the investment in those things is about preparing the country. 1167 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,200 Speaker 6: So to think about some of those shocks that we 1168 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 6: might see in the future, climate change, more severe weather events. 1169 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 2: I'm talking about pandemic now I'm talking about pandemics. I mean, 1170 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 2: if you build a new road, closing a road and 1171 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:46,839 Speaker 2: a pandemic's not really going to help us, is it. 1172 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 6: The governments actually need to look at all of the 1173 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 6: risks facing the country, not just one. And if you 1174 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,879 Speaker 6: look about something like, you know, we're going to get 1175 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 6: more extreme weather events. We need a resilient infrastructure that 1176 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 6: can cope with that. So investing in that now so 1177 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 6: that we don't have to spend even more money cleaning 1178 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,800 Speaker 6: up and repairing afterwards as we're currently doing. It's actually 1179 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 6: a very legitimate thing and very sensible thing for governments 1180 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 6: to do. 1181 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 2: You're glad it's over now. 1182 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 6: I was glad it was over years ago. You know, 1183 00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 6: if anybody who thinks that we were sitting there enjoying 1184 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 6: ourselves during that time has diluted, you know, it was 1185 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,880 Speaker 6: probably one of the most stressful things that any government 1186 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 6: can go through. It was a once in a generation, 1187 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 6: something that the country hasn't had to deal with for 1188 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 6: a hundred years, and it was all consuming and bloody 1189 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,400 Speaker 6: heart and I'm very pleased that we're not dealing with 1190 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:32,839 Speaker 6: that now. 1191 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Crissipkins, leader of the Leader of the 1192 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 2: Labor Party, and Minister of various aspects of the COVID response. 1193 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 2: They were drunk on power delayed the vaccine order. No, 1194 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 2: I disagree. I'll come back to your feedback in a moment. 1195 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:52,880 Speaker 1: Seven forty five Love Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast 1196 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks at Me. 1197 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,959 Speaker 2: It says what you think. It says roughly, we listened 1198 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 2: to your interview with Chris Hipkins. Chris spoke very well, 1199 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,439 Speaker 2: and you just came across as a biased winker. Now see, 1200 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 2: here's the thing about that. I wasn't and I didn't. 1201 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 2: So the problem with people like you, Glen, is that 1202 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 2: you've obviously got this preconceived. Not you, Glin, but Glenn 1203 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,839 Speaker 2: the Texter. What I was saying as well could be 1204 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 2: one of the same anyway, point being, I'm sort of 1205 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 2: so over COVID now, I'm sick and tired of it. 1206 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 2: It will affect my vote. And I'll tell you why 1207 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 2: it'll affect my vote. Is why I've told you that 1208 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,920 Speaker 2: he's not going to win the election, and that is 1209 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,839 Speaker 2: because he wrecked the country. Now you and I can 1210 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 2: talk about this to we're blow in the face. I 1211 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 2: can interview Chips until we're blow in the face. We 1212 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 2: know he wrecked the country, right, so therefore that will 1213 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 2: affect our vote, even if it's subliminally. Morty, Mike, why 1214 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,480 Speaker 2: has more not being said about parents being told about 1215 00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,200 Speaker 2: the vaccine risk FO teen. That's what it is. I mean, 1216 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 2: it's one of the highlight of the whole last twenty 1217 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 2: four hours. It's one of the major points of what 1218 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,759 Speaker 2: came out of that particular report. Where's Bloomfield. You'll notice 1219 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 2: he's nowhere to be seen. And that's why I give 1220 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 2: Hipkins some credit. He turns up a Doun's not turning up, 1221 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 2: Robertson's not turning up, Bloomfield's not turning up, Illingworth, Casey's 1222 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 2: not turning up. Hipkins is the only one turning up. 1223 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,799 Speaker 2: And I give them credit for that. Mike, if only 1224 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 2: Luxon could speak as clearly and confidently as Chippy, I 1225 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 2: would forget the lux In part he spoke clearly, he 1226 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 2: stated his case. He's not contrite enough for me, So 1227 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: he walks a very fine line between being contrite and 1228 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 2: probably the sort of contriteness you would expect or need 1229 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 2: to genuinely. And this is why I'm saying he's not 1230 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,359 Speaker 2: going to win the election. The same people who did 1231 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,759 Speaker 2: this to us are the same people in one another 1232 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 2: three years, and that's why they're not going to get it. 1233 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 2: Mike Chip is a dick. See, I think we need 1234 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,440 Speaker 2: something more than that. I mean, to be fair, good 1235 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 2: on you for texting it, but you know, not the 1236 00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,759 Speaker 2: first time I've heard that. No, you, at least at 1237 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:57,399 Speaker 2: least Hipkins fronts he's taking the full hit. That is true, Mike, 1238 00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 2: they were drunk on power. That is true too. Mike. 1239 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 2: Hipkin's delayed vaccine order to fires it for months, that 1240 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,399 Speaker 2: is true too. I mean, what's the point of telling 1241 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 2: me that I know that you know that? This is 1242 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,759 Speaker 2: why we didn't need a royal commission either one or two, 1243 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 2: because unlike, for example, the abuse and care, most of 1244 00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 2: us have not been in care. So we need someone 1245 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 2: to look in and on our behalf, investigate and answer 1246 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 2: our questions. We all lived through COVID. We're all experts 1247 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 2: in the field. We know exactly what happened, when it happened, 1248 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,399 Speaker 2: why it happened, and how it happened. We don't need 1249 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 2: to be told yet again, what we lived through just 1250 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 2: the other day is how it happened. Stop talking. Hapkins 1251 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 2: in a bit of that as well. But having said that, 1252 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 2: hundreds of texts. So are we still exercised or are 1253 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,279 Speaker 2: we not still exercised? I think we're probably still exercised. 1254 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:50,359 Speaker 1: Eight to eight The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Ranger over 1255 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 1: Sport sv NEUS togs DV. 1256 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 2: Carolyn has come out today to tell us that basically 1257 00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 2: everything's going to be okay in the Strait. 1258 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 22: Of Thus far, the Trump administration has offered political risk 1259 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 22: insurance to tankers operating in the Gulf, the Treasury temporarily 1260 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 22: waived certain oil related sanctions, and the Commander in Chief 1261 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 22: has offered the US Navy to escort tankers when necessary, 1262 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 22: and the US military is jarring up additional options following 1263 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 22: the President's directive to continue keeping the straight. 1264 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 9: Up from moves open. 1265 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 22: Rest assured to the American people their recent increase in 1266 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 22: oil and gas prices is temporary and this operation will 1267 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 22: result in lower gas prices in the long term. 1268 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 2: Now this isn't true. I read a very good person. 1269 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 2: I don't have time from now, but seeing it and 1270 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 2: the problem with what she said is correct. They've offered this, 1271 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,320 Speaker 2: and they've said this, but none of it's actually happening. 1272 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 2: Just because you're offering a twenty billion dollar insurance backup 1273 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:49,919 Speaker 2: doesn't mean people are taking it up. And just because 1274 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 2: you've offered to escort them through the straight there is 1275 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 2: not a naval ship there. The Americans are not there. 1276 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 2: They're not escorting anyone through the States. They're saying you 1277 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,720 Speaker 2: can do it and actually doing it to two different things. 1278 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 2: But the interesting and part of the problem they are 1279 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 2: worried about this the White House and another piece I 1280 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,479 Speaker 2: read yesterday, the White House are deeply, deeply worried about 1281 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 2: the oil. Hence they're allowing Russia. The only winner out 1282 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,320 Speaker 2: of this at the moment is Russia, of course, because 1283 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 2: they're selling oil like this. No tomorrow, India's back buying 1284 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,760 Speaker 2: Russian oil. The Chinese are laughing all the way to 1285 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 2: the bank. But the only reason that this escort isn't 1286 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 2: actually happening at the moment is, of course, the navy 1287 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,920 Speaker 2: run the risk of getting blown up, and at the 1288 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 2: moment they are strategically positioned in places where they won't 1289 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,920 Speaker 2: get blown up. And so as if you're the naval commander, 1290 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,480 Speaker 2: you're thinking to yourself, while I'm winning the war and 1291 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 2: the ships aren't thinking but if I went through the 1292 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,160 Speaker 2: strait up moves, my ship might get blown up. And 1293 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 2: so that's where they're at at the moment. So ye, 1294 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 2: he could get insurance for it, though, can you eighty 1295 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 2: nine currently on BRENT to eighty four on WTI. So 1296 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,520 Speaker 2: the jaw boning is still working now. Politics Wednesday, so yeah, 1297 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 2: we'll deal with the COVID because Hepkins took a beating 1298 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 2: yesterday the career poll.

Now, Ginny, 1392 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,480 Speaker 2: I think you've got some mortgages in the house and 1393 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,680 Speaker 2: a gym membership. What was on your list? 1394 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 14: It was a hot yoga membership. 1395 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,280 Speaker 23: And so I've been offer the Mark Joy meeting Tommy 1396 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 23: one and half a house? 1397 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you go, half a house? 1398 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 11: Half do you live? Do you live in one half 1399 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 11: of the house? 1400 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,560 Speaker 23: I share it with my husband. We both live in it. 1401 01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,560 Speaker 23: But you have to say that you should you? 1402 01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 2: Oh, okay, so you got you got half in the banks? 1403 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 2: Do you find that I think I'll probably ask you this, 1404 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,200 Speaker 2: But if you've got a mortgage, do you find that 1405 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 2: that's invasive? I find that invasive in terms of what 1406 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 2: you have to reveal. I mean, you know, if you 1407 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 2: if you owned sixteen houses in a football stadium and 1408 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 2: a private jet jet yeah, sure. But having a house 1409 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,440 Speaker 2: with a mortgages basic what most New Zealanders have. But 1410 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:02,640 Speaker 2: it's a bit invasive, isn't it. 1411 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 23: Well, I think the idea behind it is if you 1412 01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 23: have deeps or that that's what you that's what they're 1413 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 23: acquiring you. Because if you you're indebted to somebody that 1414 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 23: you know, you're not indebted to a loan shark. 1415 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 2: You know, you get a mortgage with a bank. 1416 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 23: Yeah, I know, Yeah, that's well. Look, I've always put 1417 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 23: it down. Minds that never changed in the in the 1418 01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 23: nine years i've been But. 1419 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 24: If you did have a loan, if you did have 1420 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 24: a loan with a loan shut, then you'd have to 1421 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 24: register it. So that's the So I just think, you know, 1422 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 24: we have really high levels of transpiritcy in this country. 1423 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,840 Speaker 2: I just it helps fan all. I'd see when I 1424 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 2: see that list every number of months whenever it comes out, 1425 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 2: it's like somebody got tickets to the football, someone's got 1426 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,320 Speaker 2: a mortgage, someone's got a house and buy and large, 1427 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,280 Speaker 2: it's pretty unappealing. Apart from you, Mark, you're the glamour. 1428 01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,240 Speaker 2: I mean, how can I can I be just a mortgage? 1429 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,520 Speaker 2: Well that's because youve got nine hundred houses. Let's be honest. 1430 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 2: Why can I ask and tell me if I'm being 1431 01:04:57,880 --> 01:04:59,920 Speaker 2: rude to shut up. How much does it cost of 1432 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 2: build a house in Bali? 1433 01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 24: So that place cost US two hundred and seventy five 1434 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 24: thousand US that and we have got a twenty five 1435 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,800 Speaker 24: year lease on it, so we don't actually own the land, 1436 01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:14,760 Speaker 24: which is pretty common up in Bali. 1437 01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 11: And we have a right to. 1438 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,920 Speaker 24: Renew for twenty five years, which I'll probably do so 1439 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 24: the kids and the grand kids can continue to have 1440 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,919 Speaker 24: excess and use it. We got it as a really 1441 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,960 Speaker 24: as a family place where our kids are spirittal around 1442 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 24: the world, and it's good central location, it's beautiful. 1443 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 2: What's the lease? What do you pay the lease? 1444 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 24: That's the one off upfront cost. Oh yeah, I'd have 1445 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:37,240 Speaker 24: to go and break that down. 1446 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:38,960 Speaker 2: But I mean, was it roughly Was it roughly one 1447 01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars or ten thousand dollars? 1448 01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,680 Speaker 24: No, it's probably more likely about sort of twenty or 1449 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 24: thirty a year. 1450 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 11: No, No, that's for the twenty five years. 1451 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 2: No way, twenty thirty grand for it. So one thousand 1452 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,560 Speaker 2: bucks a year roughly ballpark? 1453 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:51,959 Speaker 14: Yes? 1454 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so four hundred and sixty thousand dollars. I 1455 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 2: know we're not talking politics, but I'm obsessed. Now, what 1456 01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:58,920 Speaker 2: do you get for the four sixty. Is it a 1457 01:05:59,000 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 2: nice house, big house. 1458 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 24: Yeah, it's a big home. It's got four bedrooms, four bathrooms. 1459 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,200 Speaker 24: It's got a nice and ground, Paul. It's right up 1460 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 24: in the valley. It's got natur al around. It looks 1461 01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:12,120 Speaker 24: down across the Barley Sea in two minutes down to 1462 01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,240 Speaker 24: this beautiful little fishing village. 1463 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,320 Speaker 11: And it's gorgeous. We absolutely love it. 1464 01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,840 Speaker 24: It's getaway, it's out escape and we've and we had 1465 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 24: a family Christmas there this year. So Sarah has always 1466 01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 24: loved Barley. I wasn't so much in love with Ballei, 1467 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,760 Speaker 24: but mainly because the tourist area to me is a 1468 01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 24: bit noisy personally for me. But we found this very quiet, 1469 01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 24: beautiful little place. Is another key We up there. There's 1470 01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 24: a key We couple that are underplace up there for 1471 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,720 Speaker 24: about twenty five years. They've got a beautiful little restaurant 1472 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 24: up there, so we've sort of got to know them 1473 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 24: and starting to get to load and get to know 1474 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 24: the locals. 1475 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 11: They take spear fishing with them and it's just magic. 1476 01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,360 Speaker 2: Good stuff.

That's good real estate talk there, 1481 01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell, Ginny Anderson fourteen past. 1482 01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:07,000 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, how 1483 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: It By News Talks It. 1484 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 2: Be coming up eighteen past eight Politics Wednesday. Ginny, do 1485 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,000 Speaker 2: you think generally that the Labor Party and those of 1486 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,680 Speaker 2: you who are around during COVID read the report yesterday, 1487 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:23,120 Speaker 2: have been contrite enough in mending the damage, if you like, 1488 01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 2: with the public who think they feel damage needs to 1489 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:26,840 Speaker 2: be mended. 1490 01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 23: I think it's incredibly important to acknowledge that so many 1491 01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 23: people were deeply impacted, to the point that people kind 1492 01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 23: of don't even want to talk about it because their 1493 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 23: lives were so disrupted. So I think it's incredibly important 1494 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:45,280 Speaker 23: we continue to acknowledge how much disruption and really trauma 1495 01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 23: it caused right across New Zealand. 1496 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 2: Do you feel regret over some of the stuff you 1497 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 2: guys did. 1498 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 23: It's really hard in hindsight to be able to say this, 1499 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:56,920 Speaker 23: you know, should have done this way or that way. 1500 01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 23: So I mean the report generally found that ours was 1501 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,600 Speaker 23: pretty good. You know, I'm personally I'm grateful for things 1502 01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 23: like my dad. My dad's got preexisting health conditions. If 1503 01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 23: he had got help COVID, I don't think he'd still 1504 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,000 Speaker 23: be with us right now. He's a pretty awesome granddad 1505 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:13,880 Speaker 23: and I'm grateful that he's still around. 1506 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:15,400 Speaker 21: So I think there's many. 1507 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,360 Speaker 23: Other countries who lost a lot of their seniors, and 1508 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 23: so I think we did good in terms of stopping 1509 01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 23: so many people from losing their lives. But of course 1510 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 23: these things we could have done better. 1511 01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,559 Speaker 2: What do you make of it? Mark, You guys went 1512 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,120 Speaker 2: to town on it yesterday in the house. 1513 01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 24: Well as having been an awkward MP and being through it, 1514 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,600 Speaker 24: everyone felt an Aukland that we were locked down for 1515 01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:41,719 Speaker 24: far too long. There has had a massive negative impact 1516 01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 24: on our kids, families, the adults, businesses. 1517 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 11: The thing that really annoyed. 1518 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,320 Speaker 24: Me is that everyone could accept a health response in 1519 01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,840 Speaker 24: going off the advice from health officials. 1520 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,880 Speaker 11: I think most people accept that was the right thing 1521 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 11: to do. 1522 01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,439 Speaker 24: But what appears to be in the report says that 1523 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 24: Hitchens and Doing and others jumped from a health based 1524 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 24: decisions onto political decisions which meant a longer lockdown for 1525 01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,479 Speaker 24: us and Auglam. That was necessary, and the worst thing 1526 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 24: about it was disappearance making decisions around a mandated second 1527 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,520 Speaker 24: Jared for our kids twelve to eighteen. 1528 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:23,000 Speaker 2: That thing. I don't know, Ginny. Should Bloomfield front on that? 1529 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 2: That's that's a disgrace and it appears to be on him, 1530 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:26,720 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 1531 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 23: Well, the claims in the house yesterday were just categorically wrong. 1532 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was where the hippens get to saw it. 1533 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,200 Speaker 2: So except that he didn't get to see if the 1534 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,800 Speaker 2: advice wasn't passed on, that's on Bloomfield and Bloomfield needs 1535 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 2: to front, doesn't he. 1536 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,559 Speaker 23: Well, I think health itself, whatever was going on in health, 1537 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 23: that that information was there and was not presented to decisions. 1538 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 24: Help Mike that this is not just on Ashley Bloomfield. 1539 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:56,479 Speaker 24: This is on the minister. Like if I was the 1540 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 24: Minister of Health and I was about to mandate and 1541 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,320 Speaker 24: tell parents that you have to get your twelve to 1542 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 24: eighteen year olds a second booster, there's a roster around 1543 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 24: high cat artist. You as the minister, you seek the 1544 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 24: reassurances around that to make sure that it's safe. So 1545 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,439 Speaker 24: it's an easy copy out to sort of point the 1546 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 24: finger at everyone else. You're a minister for a reason, 1547 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,559 Speaker 24: and I just don't think these guys were either mature 1548 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 24: or experienced enough or trustworthy enough in hindsight to start 1549 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,240 Speaker 24: making political decisions rather than ones. 1550 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,560 Speaker 2: And it should be held to account on that. 1551 01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,599 Speaker 23: To mission themselves found that they should have put into 1552 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 23: that information that was so Tom. 1553 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 2: Should have asked for it straight up and down. Yeah, 1554 01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 2: I get it, Mark, I get that part. But give 1555 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 2: give them you did or didn't whatever. Doesn't Bloomfield owe 1556 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,960 Speaker 2: the nation and explanation as to why that information wasn't 1557 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:42,360 Speaker 2: passed on. 1558 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,800 Speaker 24: Yeah, that information definitely should have been passed on, There's 1559 01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:46,519 Speaker 24: no doubt about that. 1560 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 11: But my point is that if. 1561 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:50,600 Speaker 24: You're a minister and you're making those sort of decisions 1562 01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 24: as the double's check. 1563 01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:55,120 Speaker 2: But Jinny Ashley Bloomfield, does he owe us an explanation 1564 01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:56,720 Speaker 2: or can he move on with his life as well? 1565 01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 11: Well? 1566 01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,479 Speaker 23: I think it's difficult depending what role is now. 1567 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,559 Speaker 2: Like at the time he was he was the man, 1568 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,560 Speaker 2: he was health, he was health. 1569 01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,960 Speaker 23: That I think there needs to be an explanation from Health, 1570 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:13,120 Speaker 23: whether that's actually Bloomfield or the organization but that's a 1571 01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:16,000 Speaker 23: critical piece of information that they failed to provide at 1572 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:16,559 Speaker 23: the right time. 1573 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,000 Speaker 2: See, I don't know why you don't want to call 1574 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,679 Speaker 2: him out that. It's like you're still arguing and defending yourself. 1575 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,519 Speaker 23: I mean, it's eat in front if he wants to. 1576 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 6: But I don't know. 1577 01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,799 Speaker 2: Why are you calling him out. You guys take tremendous 1578 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,920 Speaker 2: heat out of this, and rightly so. And one of 1579 01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,280 Speaker 2: the guys who was right there in the trenches with 1580 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 2: you that you were relying on seemingly has let the 1581 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 2: country down appallingly and he's nowhere to be seen. 1582 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,439 Speaker 23: I think the organization he's part of is the one 1583 01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,240 Speaker 23: that we've got to think about if we want to 1584 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 23: prevent this from happening again in the future. There's greater 1585 01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 23: benefit in saying, what part of that ministry now or 1586 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 23: that organization isn't working. How do we fix that so 1587 01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,080 Speaker 23: we're not in the same position in the next time. 1588 01:11:58,120 --> 01:11:58,840 Speaker 23: He's appendemic. 1589 01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 2: All right, appreciate time gets better.

You do realize that the Auckland 1641 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,719 Speaker 2: lockdown involved Auckland, which is one and a half million people, 1642 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,920 Speaker 2: which is hundreds of millions of dollars of economic activity 1643 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,920 Speaker 2: on any single day. Times at by six you're talking 1644 01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,280 Speaker 2: about tens of millions of dollars of lost business, plus 1645 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 2: the damage is done in the ensuing period. So that, 1646 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,759 Speaker 2: in part is what's wrong with the attitude of the place. 1647 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:45,919 Speaker 2: Twenty three to nine. 1648 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 15: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 1649 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:52,360 Speaker 15: for New Zealand Business Steve Rice. 1650 01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:54,880 Speaker 2: Morning for you. You know, there I was running through. 1651 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,320 Speaker 2: I mean, what a day you had between Little Proud 1652 01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,519 Speaker 2: and your planes taking off to the Middle East and 1653 01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,639 Speaker 2: your football players. I mean it was all go there. 1654 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:03,960 Speaker 9: Wasn't it. 1655 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,639 Speaker 17: Yeah, it was a huge news day. I think last 1656 01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:11,799 Speaker 17: night dominated by the exit from Australia of the Uranian 1657 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:15,679 Speaker 17: women's soccer team. Those who wanted to go back now 1658 01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:20,200 Speaker 17: I reiterate wanted because every one of them, according to 1659 01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,240 Speaker 17: Tony Burke and Home Affairs Minister, every one of those 1660 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,760 Speaker 17: players was given the option to not go at the 1661 01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,599 Speaker 17: last moment. So we had dramatic scenes in Brisbane yesterday 1662 01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,840 Speaker 17: when a bus pulled up at the hotel where the 1663 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 17: team was playing. Those who were due to fly down 1664 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,400 Speaker 17: to Sydney got on the bus and then there was 1665 01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 17: a huge number of demonstrators Iranian expats from Australia laying 1666 01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 17: down on the road in the front of the bus 1667 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,960 Speaker 17: trying not to let that bus leave or move. It 1668 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 17: finally did under police protection. They veils then got on 1669 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 17: this flight from Brisbane to Sydney, and that's where we 1670 01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,240 Speaker 17: find out now today that two more of that team 1671 01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 17: did not get on that bus and did not go 1672 01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:00,479 Speaker 17: to Sydney, remained in Brisbane and are now under protection 1673 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,679 Speaker 17: along with the original five the Australian Federal Police. They've 1674 01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,680 Speaker 17: all been offered visas in Australia to stay for at 1675 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 17: least twelve months. The drama at Sydney Airport involved about 1676 01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 17: one hundred and fifty expats, including one who had a 1677 01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,800 Speaker 17: message from a brother of one of the girls who 1678 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:21,479 Speaker 17: plays in that team. Her name is Efren, who maiden 1679 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:25,400 Speaker 17: name is ef Fran, and the message simply said, don't 1680 01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 17: come back. So we now have seven who have claimed asylum. 1681 01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:31,200 Speaker 17: The rest are on a flight as we speak to 1682 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,759 Speaker 17: k Kuala Lumpa. Where they go from there? Who knows, 1683 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:38,599 Speaker 17: because obviously you can't fly a commercial flight into Iranian airspace. 1684 01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,120 Speaker 17: At the moment, with the war going on dramatic scenes, 1685 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,839 Speaker 17: and the federal government I must say, have acted quickly. 1686 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,160 Speaker 17: Tony Burke was in Brisbane at the weekend. There was 1687 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:50,280 Speaker 17: a sort of media blackout on what was going on, 1688 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,200 Speaker 17: and then that was all announced yesterday and then he 1689 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 17: flew to Sydney from Canda where Parliament sitting overnight and 1690 01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,719 Speaker 17: personally spoke to each of the women who stayed. 1691 01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:01,559 Speaker 11: Well two more. 1692 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:02,479 Speaker 17: That's where we're at. 1693 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:07,160 Speaker 2: Okay, So what's this legislation then to amend the Migration 1694 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,679 Speaker 2: Act so that a whole bunch of other temporary visa 1695 01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,120 Speaker 2: holders don't roll on into town. I mean, is that tricky? 1696 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:14,200 Speaker 2: Has he got cross party support, He got the numbers 1697 01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:15,800 Speaker 2: to do all of that, is that a major. 1698 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,479 Speaker 17: Well, it's very tricky, and it's always the case when 1699 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,759 Speaker 17: you come to if you do it for these people, 1700 01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,160 Speaker 17: can't you do it for others? And who turns up, 1701 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,920 Speaker 17: puts a hand up, who's already in the country, who 1702 01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 17: says saying, hang on, I don't want to go back 1703 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,599 Speaker 17: to whatever my country is, either on Russian or whatever. 1704 01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:33,479 Speaker 17: So that is going to be a problem. But when 1705 01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 17: you're dealing with a high profile sporting team that refused 1706 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,960 Speaker 17: to sing a national anthem in that match in Perth 1707 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,760 Speaker 17: at the first game in the Asian Women's Cup, and 1708 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,799 Speaker 17: then you have the people here in the country representing 1709 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,320 Speaker 17: the Iranian government saying well you have to sing it 1710 01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 17: next time, and suggestions on TV in I Ran that 1711 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,519 Speaker 17: they were going to be executed. I don't think the 1712 01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 17: government had any choice. 1713 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,679 Speaker 2: No, the wedge tail you're sending along with some medium 1714 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,640 Speaker 2: were missiles and stuff. Is there a lot? Is there 1715 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 2: a general acceptance you're in the war now and if 1716 01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,320 Speaker 2: there is their pushback, No. 1717 01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 17: There's not a general acceptance. I don't think that we're 1718 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:13,720 Speaker 17: in the war. Most people don't understand what a wedgtale 1719 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:18,639 Speaker 17: is and the number of personnel is small, so people 1720 01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:21,320 Speaker 17: are not out marching in the streets saying we shouldn't 1721 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,320 Speaker 17: be there. But unless you remember the Greens, of course, 1722 01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,519 Speaker 17: the Greens came out screaming yesterday that Australia was funding 1723 01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 17: Donald Trump's murderous war on Iran im and they're just 1724 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:36,519 Speaker 17: a ridiculous party these days, and so we ignore them. 1725 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:42,280 Speaker 17: The fact that Australia has a base in thee is 1726 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,800 Speaker 17: the reason the Prime Minister is saying it is a 1727 01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 17: defensive act by Australia. We talked about some missiles as well. 1728 01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:51,320 Speaker 17: I mean, I don't even know we had missiles, but 1729 01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,519 Speaker 17: apparently we're sending some defensive missiles there. So these missiles 1730 01:18:55,600 --> 01:19:00,599 Speaker 17: knock out aggressive attacks from the other side, so we're sort. 1731 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:00,840 Speaker 11: Of in it. 1732 01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,120 Speaker 17: You know, we'd had the President of the United States 1733 01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,719 Speaker 17: ringing you up as Antonelbiz. He did it two am 1734 01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 17: yesterday morning, leading for the safety of the Iranian girls, 1735 01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 17: and then apparently the call went for half an hour 1736 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,280 Speaker 17: and Trump would have obviously said to Elbow, what are 1737 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,599 Speaker 17: you going to do about helping us in the Middle East. 1738 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,600 Speaker 17: That's what's happened. I mean, it's reluctant. No one in 1739 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,720 Speaker 17: that labor government wants to be sending assets into the 1740 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 17: Middle East to get involved in this conflict that they've 1741 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,840 Speaker 17: sort of gone. Well, I imagine the Prime Minister went to 1742 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,400 Speaker 17: the head of the Defense Forces and says, what's the 1743 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,240 Speaker 17: minimum we can do to show that we're at least 1744 01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,920 Speaker 17: trying to do something. That's how I see it. 1745 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,880 Speaker 2: I happen to be watching Sky In fact, I watched 1746 01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 2: s Guy most afternoons, but I wasn't expecting a Little 1747 01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,040 Speaker 2: Proud to burst into tears in front of my television 1748 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 2: screen and then wander off with his arms around his wife. 1749 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:48,679 Speaker 2: What on earth happened? 1750 01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,920 Speaker 17: Yeah, and a very Australian quote to leave, which might 1751 01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:55,479 Speaker 17: be one of the quotes of the wed I'm bugging well, 1752 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 17: I'm not sure. Little Proud then made the ridiculous comment 1753 01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 17: that he was the Nationals leader since no one in 1754 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 17: New Zealand would notice bloke but Blackjack mckewan back in 1755 01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 17: the nineteen sixties. I mean, that's just ridiculous. The Nationals 1756 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,479 Speaker 17: have had some very good leaders, people like John Anderson, 1757 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 17: for example, but Little Proud he has been blamed for 1758 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,679 Speaker 17: a lot of the troubles within the coalition, and quite rightly, 1759 01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 17: the only good thing that David Little Proud did was 1760 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 17: I think lead the No campaign against the Voice, which 1761 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 17: eventually the rest of the country caught up with sixty 1762 01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:34,160 Speaker 17: percent of us to know to the Voice referendum. He's 1763 01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 17: been an interesting politician but has achieved very little. And 1764 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 17: so now you've got the conservative side of the National 1765 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,680 Speaker 17: Party's led by Senator Matt Canavan has put his hand 1766 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,800 Speaker 17: up already and the voter happened today. He wants the job. 1767 01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 17: He's to go. Who led the note to net zero 1768 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:54,880 Speaker 17: campaign within the Nationals is very much on the energy side. 1769 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:56,720 Speaker 17: He is at Queensland where he says we should get 1770 01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 17: into nuclear. So we'll see where this goes. But I'll 1771 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:00,960 Speaker 17: tell you what it does do. It doesn't help at 1772 01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,559 Speaker 17: all with the upcoming by election in that seat of 1773 01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,519 Speaker 17: Pharaoh because Susan Lee decided that she was going to 1774 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,400 Speaker 17: walk away after she lost the leadership. So the Nationals 1775 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:12,200 Speaker 17: are in big trouble in that seat. You would think 1776 01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 17: if they tried to get the votes for their Canada. 1777 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 2: Exactly what are you paying for? I did two nine 1778 01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,600 Speaker 2: to nine yesterday per liter of the ninety eight? What 1779 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:20,280 Speaker 2: are you running out? 1780 01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:24,120 Speaker 17: What's two nine in New Zealand converted to Australia, and 1781 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 17: you're just going to come use. 1782 01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:27,320 Speaker 2: All sixty seven cents. 1783 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:32,920 Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm paying somewhere around about two dollars forty eight 1784 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 17: for ninety eight ron. That's the best petri you can buy. 1785 01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,920 Speaker 17: But the panic buyings continued, and I don't know, I 1786 01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,320 Speaker 17: can't remember if I told you on Monday, but that 1787 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,840 Speaker 17: giant Bunning store, one of them, at least two of 1788 01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,760 Speaker 17: them in Australia run out of jerry cans. So people 1789 01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:52,559 Speaker 17: are just rushed by jerry Can. 1790 01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,439 Speaker 2: To Australia's not realize that the oil's gone back down 1791 01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:57,599 Speaker 2: below eighty dollars ninety dollars a barrel. 1792 01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:00,439 Speaker 17: Well, a lot of it's in the region, and so 1793 01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,280 Speaker 17: the delivery trucks have delivered diesel to the regions, have 1794 01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,720 Speaker 17: decided to concentrate on delivery to the cities because they 1795 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:08,400 Speaker 17: can make more money to it. And so the farmers 1796 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,400 Speaker 17: who are in the middle of about the get ready 1797 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,360 Speaker 17: for their planting season and have to feed some of 1798 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 17: their stock with haber because they've got droughts. They need 1799 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,320 Speaker 17: diesel to run their tractors, and so they're filling up 1800 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 17: jerry cansim the regions are the ones who have been here, 1801 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 17: the artists. There's a lot of anger in the bush 1802 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,160 Speaker 17: about how they've just been ignored and let down and 1803 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:30,360 Speaker 17: it is stupid to only have thirty or thirty five 1804 01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,800 Speaker 17: whatever figure. Silly. Chris Bowen makes it up in his 1805 01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,439 Speaker 17: head of fuel in the country. It's crazy. 1806 01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly all right, might go well, see next week 1807 01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,080 Speaker 2: two forty eight Australian two nine nine years on. So 1808 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 2: it's exactly the same, which is interesting because generally petrol 1809 01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:48,840 Speaker 2: is cheaper in Australia and yet now it isn't, so 1810 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 2: that would lead you to believe maybe they're getting gouged 1811 01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,640 Speaker 2: slightly more than we are. Fourteen two The. 1812 01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:59,160 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Howard By 1813 01:22:59,200 --> 01:22:59,760 Speaker 1: News talks that. 1814 01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 2: Be Mike, I'm a pricing manager for one of the 1815 01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,759 Speaker 2: high street fuel retailers. I can assure you there's no gaging. 1816 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,400 Speaker 2: I wasn't referring to gouging. That was me being facetious 1817 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 2: and New Zealand at the pump during the crisis. Thank 1818 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:15,479 Speaker 2: you for that. If you're over the COVID targer, Mike, 1819 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 2: does that mean that it won't feature in your narrative 1820 01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,519 Speaker 2: as a political point until the election. No, of course 1821 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 2: it will feature because it is, I still argue, and 1822 01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,160 Speaker 2: I think today's response has been a very good indicator 1823 01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:30,880 Speaker 2: that it's still very much in people's minds. My guess 1824 01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 2: is a small selection of New Zealanders remain obsessed about it. 1825 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:38,840 Speaker 2: Most of us remain irked by it, and therefore, when 1826 01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,080 Speaker 2: we come to think about it again, which we inevitably 1827 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 2: will during the election campaign, you'll go back, Are these 1828 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,519 Speaker 2: thus same people who did that to us? Yes? They are. 1829 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 2: Therefore why would I vote for them? Are they reformed? 1830 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:53,040 Speaker 2: Are they different? Are they a completely different makeup? No, 1831 01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:54,720 Speaker 2: they're not. And that's why I think I keep saying 1832 01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:56,439 Speaker 2: that they're not going to win the election. It's not 1833 01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,679 Speaker 2: entirely out of COVID, but it's directly related to the economy, 1834 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,120 Speaker 2: which is related to COVID, which has taken I mean, 1835 01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,639 Speaker 2: think about twenty nineteen is when it all began. Here 1836 01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:07,840 Speaker 2: we are in twenty twenty six, I mean it's seven 1837 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,639 Speaker 2: years on, seven years on. Are still paying the price? 1838 01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,639 Speaker 2: Seems that economics mike towers over health. Unfortunately, Well that's true. 1839 01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:19,120 Speaker 2: The economy is everything, rightly or wrongly The economy is everything, 1840 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,280 Speaker 2: you know, just think about the moment somebody starts blowing 1841 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,360 Speaker 2: up a country and the oil price goes through the roof. 1842 01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:26,479 Speaker 2: The economy is everything and just quickly nice that cabinet 1843 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,840 Speaker 2: ministers can buy Balley palaces whilst every day people in 1844 01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,160 Speaker 2: New Zealand struggle to pay the bills. I think, are 1845 01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 2: we not getting past that? No one's more genuine than Mark. 1846 01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 2: Mark is one of the most decent people I know. 1847 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,360 Speaker 2: He has four hundred and forty thousand dollars to build 1848 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,800 Speaker 2: himself a house in Balley. Honestly, are you begrudging him that? 1849 01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,760 Speaker 2: Are are you so myopic and small minded that you 1850 01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:51,200 Speaker 2: begrudge him that if he wants to spend his money 1851 01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,080 Speaker 2: that way, and somehow he's different from you and I. 1852 01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:55,320 Speaker 2: Is no different from you and I. At the end 1853 01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:56,960 Speaker 2: of the day, there's plenty of people in this country 1854 01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,719 Speaker 2: that have holiday homes. There's plenty of people who travel 1855 01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 2: at the front onto the plane. There's plenty of people 1856 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,719 Speaker 2: in this country who drive decent cars, et cetera, et cetera. 1857 01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:05,559 Speaker 2: There are actually plenty of people in this country just do 1858 01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:07,439 Speaker 2: okay for themselves. Do you know why? Because they get 1859 01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 2: up early and they work hard and good luck to them. 1860 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that over time we'll see less and 1861 01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:14,320 Speaker 2: less of that sort of attitude. Nine to nine. 1862 01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:19,120 Speaker 1: So my costing breakfast with Veta, Retirement, Communities, News, togs 1863 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:19,679 Speaker 1: Head vs. 1864 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,559 Speaker 2: Now Countries, medium to large enterprises and the government agencies 1865 01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,080 Speaker 2: facing this critical challenge at the moment doing more with less. 1866 01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,040 Speaker 2: We all know about doing more with less, so tech 1867 01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:30,640 Speaker 2: is an essential tool that you can leverage to enhance both.
