00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: Sam Imrios, a correspondents with US Sam, Hello, get I

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 2: have it.

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: So the current account difference, it's got a bit, we're saying, Yeah,

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: I think I heard it described as just a very

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: faint heartbeat. The economy is always something that the coalition

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: loves to tell voters that labor has struggled to manage

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: it in previous governments, but of course also in this

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: current government. Treasurer Jin Charmers has again emphasized that economic

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: figures due out tomorrow, you know, they're.

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: Showing soft growth.

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Analysts are tipping the numbers could be below one percent,

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: which would be the weakest to have since late twenty twenty.

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: And the opposition says the government only seemed to blame

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: and attack the Reserve Bank for the economy, and you know,

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: not often do we all come out and agree with

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: the opposition government. But to be honest, we haven't heard

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: much more from Jim Charmers. He says, it's new language

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: and shouldn't be controversial for the Treasurer to say these things,

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: you know about global uncertainty and higher interest rates, price

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: pressures that we're all dealing with, but we haven't heard

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: anything else since they've been in government. And I think

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: it's fair to say that Australians, especially, you know, knowing

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: that we are really starting to enter that sort of

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: pre election pre campaign, if you could call it that,

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: we just want to start hearing some policies, some action,

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: some change. You know, how are we actually going to

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: face this rather than I think we all fairly well

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: understand now about what pressures are on our economy and

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: why we're finding it so much harder.

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: Samson, talk to me about this gambling ad, Ben, Can

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: they actually ban online ads? Well, they can certainly put

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: a restriction on it.

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: They can certainly put it's almost like a geo fence

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: or a geo lock on these types of things, so

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: it will be extremely hard to police, I believe, Heather,

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: but they can put these bans in place. It was

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: interesting hearing Andrew Clonel there obviously with the latest on it,

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: in terms of the fact that it could almost be

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: an immediate ban with these online gambling ads, but also

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: the fact that they've sort of come a bit clearer now.

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: In terms of what's going to happen on the more.

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Regular mainstay broadcasting like TV advertising. Part of the issue

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: for those sorts of things are obviously previously signed contracts,

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, that still have one, two, three years left

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: in them that need to be paid out, so that

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: the government's using that as a reason as to why

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: we won't necessarily see them disappear on the likes.

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: Of TV and radio.

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: But I mean it's sort of similar to the smoking bands,

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: and you know, one day maybe in the alcohol bands

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: that we might see follow suit. Where you know, it's

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: just strange that these type this type of advertising is

55
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: still so free and easy to access for all ages,

56
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: whether you're online or offline. I think in this day

57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: and age, it's strange that it's still so free and

58
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: easier for coming from a country like Australia that has

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: spent so much money into things, you know, one of

60
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: the first countries in the world to bring in that

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: plain packaging cigarettes, you know those. I think most people

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: sort of thought this is just a waste of money

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: and time. But next thing, you know, we have a

64
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: generation of kids who weren't smoking and actually hadn't been

65
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: addicted to nicotine.

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: Now they've got the weight problem to deal with. On

67
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: that side of things.

68
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: So you know, we are our worst enemy in these

69
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: sort of situations because we need the money, the sports

70
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: need the money, the broadcast people need the money from

71
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: these advertising.

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: But there's got to be a better way to do it.

73
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: How long were these people up the mountain? Too long?

74
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: And as the premiere of Tasmania said, why do we

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: have to save people from stupidity? Which I thought was

76
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: an interesting way for a premier to come out and

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: say it. But they were up there overnight. They two

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: separate groups. Wasn't just one group, please say? The first

79
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: group of thirteen called about half us four yesterday afternoon

80
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: and council staff actually helping them rescue. As they were

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: coming back down, they noticed another group of people around

82
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: eleven hundred feet were still on the mountain. Apparently Heather

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: it was minus three, but it felt like minus twenty

84
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: two at that time. And it was a weird rescue

85
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: where it was local government sees and local communities who

86
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: had to come and save these people. And the premiers

87
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: come out again and said we cannot afford to have

88
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: any resources diverted simply because of people stupid.

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: Sam, It's good to talk to you mate, Thank you

90
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,200
