1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Got are you members?

2
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:01,080
Speaker 2: Bill?

3
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: The Hairdressing Reducing Restrictions Amendment Bill I Kid You Not

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: has been pulled from the famed Biscuit Tin since two

5
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: thousand dight. Apparently it's been illegal to serve drinks drinks,

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: any drinks in a hair salon. Who knew? Nationals East

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Coast MP Danna Kirkpatrick is behind this particular bill. Rodney

8
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Wainboss Julie Evans as well as Julie Morning Morning Ike.

9
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: Do you serve drinks?

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: We do. Yeah, I don't send the police around, though

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: I didn't know we weren't supposed to.

12
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: So if I asked anybody in your salon or series

13
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: of salons, is it legal or illegal to serve drinks,

14
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: none of you would have known one way or the other.

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: They wouldn't have said it's probably legal, except if it

16
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: was alcohol, and they knew there was license and laws there.

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: So we don't serve alcohol.

18
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: So you had never served alcohol? Because I know a

19
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: place that does serve or did serve alcohol, Is it

20
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: like highly illegal as opposed to just being moderately illegal?

21
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: If you serve tea, I think it's probably moderately And

22
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: it depends how much you serve I suppose, and on

23
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: what occasion maybe glass of bubbles at the Christmas time.

24
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: So when I when I sit down and with my

25
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: haircut and I just asked for a bottle, open up

26
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the bottle. That's probably a bit excessive, you.

27
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Think, possibly, what do you spend on time of day?

28
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Is my Well, well does it honestly? Really?

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: So?

30
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: What do you do tea and coffee?

31
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: We do tearing coffee, We do different flavored teas. What

32
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: interesting though, which I'm really surprised by, is we get

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: visits from the council before the issue certificate and we

34
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: have to have dishwashes and things to be able to

35
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: wash dishes and cups and sauces to a certain standards.

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: So I'm just not sure why it was never brought

37
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: to our attention then and then following following COVID after lockdown,

38
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: we were recommended not to save tea and coffee when

39
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: the salons reopened because of contamination and things. And again

40
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: we were never told we shouldn't have been saving what

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 2: we shouldn't have been saving.

42
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: So do you think the people who were giving you

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: the advice didn't know it was a legal either?

44
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, even the hair and barber Association of New Zealand.

45
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: They recommend us both saving teas and coffees directly after COVID,

46
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: So it was never ever, ever, as far as I'm concerned,

47
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: brought to our attention that it was illegal to save

48
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: hot drinks.

49
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: So it's the heat. So to get the legality of

50
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: it is the concern around heat? Is that right?

51
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 2: No idea. I suppose it's just walking across with hot

52
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: drinks and or here going into the cups, perhaps maybe

53
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: to health and the safety thing. But all I know

54
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: is the clients love a hot drink when they're having

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: their heads on, especially if they're having a big service

56
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: like a color service. Exactly part of the client journey.

57
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: Exactly whenever I get my hair colored and there for hours,

58
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: what do you see? Do you serve still unsparkling and

59
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: some salons yet and do you put a limon in

60
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: the water.

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: Possibly sometimes a sprig of mint?

62
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: There you go, good on your nice and nice to

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: talk to you. She's lovely, isn't she? Julie Evans, who's

64
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: the Rodney Wayne CEO. The reason I asked about the

65
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: water is that where I go, they do the water

66
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: sparkling or straight, and they always serve it with a

67
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: slice of limon. Up until recently, and I stand to

68
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: be corrected, they used to hand out a menu and

69
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: there were drinks, alcoholic drinks on that menu, and I'm

70
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: assuming somebody woke up to the fact that was probably

71
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: not really kosher. I don't know that that still exists,

72
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: but they do tea and coffee. They've done tea and

73
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: coffee forever.

74
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: I think, really there's an opportunity to sort of set

75
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: up a chain of speakeasy sellons, isn't there.

76
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: I reckon go really go underground with it. For more
