Speaker 1: Good news for the Central North Island as well as

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: the tourism sector. Fuck a pupa ski field deal. It's done,

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,079
Speaker 1: ten year concession from doc to fucking Papa holdings. The

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: governments on the hook for about fifty million is to

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: give it the field open the ru of pay Who

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: mere Western curtain is with us Western bring good morning to.

7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: You, Yes, good morning Mike.

8
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: What's your sense of this relief?

9
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: Oh, it certainly is.

10
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: It's a critical milestone mic and securing the future of

11
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: our ski skiing in Mount re Pehu, and it gives

12
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: confidence to the wider tourism sector, and it provides a

13
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: huge amount of income for our community and the region

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: to the Tuna around one hundred million dollars.

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: So we had a lot of the stake here.

16
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: I followed it very closely. I get the sense it

17
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been as complex or as angsty as it got. Fair.

18
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: Well, that's fair, I think taxpayers. We are putting money

19
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: into this operation back in twenty twenty two, and of

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: course everyone had the opinion about it being in receivership

21
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: where we should go ahead or go have government money

22
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: into this. But of course the government's propped it up

23
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: enough for it to actually proceed to get over the

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: line the possibility of other bidders in receivership. Of course,

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two then we saw one or two

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: bidders coming forward and they had to go through the

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: due diligence, and government had faith in the fact that

28
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: there was a future for skiing in this region, and

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: of course we got over line the consultation phase. And

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: of course now.

31
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,800
