1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Digging through the spinth Spence to find the real story. 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: Or it's Ryan Bridge on hither duper Cy Ellen Drive 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: with one New Zealand, Let's get connected. 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: News talks. 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 3: They'd been good afternoon. It is seven after four News talks. 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 3: They'd been coming up on the show. Greg Murphy on 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 3: Liam Lawson. We're in the US for Trump's group chat 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 3: blowing up. Paul Goldsmith is with us. What can you 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 3: get a discount for now that they've changed the laws? 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 3: What can you get a discount for if you're convicted 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 3: of a crime. We'll ask the minister the astronomical coffee 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 3: bill for totong A Council or is it we've done 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 3: the maths. Also this afternoon, athletics making a big call 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: on gender. 15 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. 16 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: Tamitha Paul has said some dumb stuff today about cops 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 3: on the beat, and that is to be expected. Much 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 3: of the Green Party's manifesto is rooted in idealism, a 19 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 3: utopian dream. Sure, it would be nice to not need 20 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 3: cops or prisons. But if Tamotha Paul was assaulted on 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: Cuba Street, would she call the cops? Would she want 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 3: help from the so called institutionally racist, retraumatizing, recolonizing, thin 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 3: blue line. The answer is, of course she would, and 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 3: that's really all you need to know about that story. 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 3: There's really no more to it. However, does this mean 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 3: that all Green Party policies on crime are stupid? And 27 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 3: does the Right have a monopoly on keeping the streets safe? 28 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: The answer to that question is no. And here's an 29 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 3: example of why not. Matthews doubled in the past year 30 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 3: in New Zealand. It went up in all locations fourteen 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: hundred kilograms of meth consumed here in the last year. 32 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: Social harm estimated at one and a half billion dollars. 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: It fuels gangs, it finances gangs. It's bread and butter 34 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 3: for gangs. But it's clear and plain as daylight to 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: see that they and the cartels are winning the war 36 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: on drugs. Any business that doubles its exports and profits 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 3: to another country is winning. And we're spending hundreds and 38 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars trying to fight it. Governments 39 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 3: of both stripes have tried this. Would we call that 40 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: a success? The Greens have some truly ridiculous ideas, but 41 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: on liberalizing our drug laws, I actually agree with them. 42 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 3: How else do you tackle a monopoly but with competition? 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: And why wouldn't you try when the monopoly you're up 44 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: against is so violent and so dangerous? And why wouldn't 45 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: you try when everything you're currently trying doesn't appear to 46 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: be working? Bryan Bridge, nine minutes after before, I welcome 47 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: you views on that nine two nine two is the 48 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: number to text. We did ask tammotha Paul on the program, 49 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: by the way, for after five point thirty, but she 50 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: has said nay, so we are, well, don't worry. We'll 51 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: have something else for you that we're going to talk 52 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 3: about their gender in sports. But Tamoth of Paul is 53 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 3: a no for today A ten minutes after four, everyone 54 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 3: is talking about this new Netflix series Adolescence. Have you 55 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: seen it? The four part series is about a teenage 56 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: boy who kills a teenage girl. And we're not spoiling 57 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: the series here, by the way by telling you that 58 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: this happens right at the start of the show. It 59 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 3: highlights the major issues for a generation growing up basically 60 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: being reared partly on social media. South Island's Saint Kevin's 61 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: College has done an unusual thing. They have recommended that 62 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: parents watch it. The principal is Joe Walsh, and she's 63 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 3: with me. Now, good afternoon. 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 4: Good afternoon. 65 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 3: Why have you recommended people watch this? 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 4: Ah, where do you start? I've recommended people watch it 67 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: because it's an incredibly important piece of art. I think 68 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 4: it's something that's going to stimulate an enormous amount of conversation. 69 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 4: It's something that is probably going to get through to 70 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 4: people in a way that's going to be a lot 71 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 4: better than people like me standing up and telling telling 72 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 4: families not to allow the young people to have social media. 73 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 4: That's really getting a nutshell. 74 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: It's talking about boys in particular. It features Andrew Tait, 75 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: who's many people, many people say has some quite toxic 76 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: traits to his the way that he delivers his content online. 77 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 3: For people who don't know, is he quite influential with 78 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 3: young boys in your. 79 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 4: Experience, Yeah, he is, and he's not the only one. 80 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 4: They talk about the menosphere. So this is this idea 81 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: that there's this online community of young men who are 82 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 4: disenfranchised in the world. They lay a lot of the 83 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: blame for that at the feet of women, and there's 84 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 4: just this kind of culture about how you survive in 85 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 4: a world that doesn't want you because you're a man, 86 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 4: so you take it to the absolute extreme and you 87 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 4: become this sort of I don't know, I guess it's 88 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 4: the twenty first century of this ubermensch where you're just 89 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 4: incredibly dominant. My daughter told me the other day that 90 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 4: she'd watched a video where a man was telling young 91 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 4: men on the internet how to dominantly order a coffee. 92 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's definitely out the end, definitely influencing people. 93 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: Why are boys being influenced by this? You know what 94 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: has changed that they are wanting to watch this content? 95 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 4: Well. I think one of the things that I pointed 96 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 4: to in my blog was the fact that there's thirty 97 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 4: percent of young men in New Zealand growing up without 98 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: a death or without any significant male role model, and 99 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: I think that BET has got to be having some 100 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 4: kind of an effect. I also think kids are entertaining themselves. 101 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 4: People give access to kids to social media and the 102 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 4: world of the internet without any real breaks or without 103 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 4: any real monitoring, So of course you're going to you're 104 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: going to look at all the things that you know 105 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 4: you're not supposed to, So that excess is just so 106 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 4: incredibly easy. And I think also A really important part 107 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: of this conversation is that young men, I'm looking for 108 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 4: something to identify with them and to identify themselves there, 109 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 4: and I think that perhaps we've taken a bit of 110 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 4: bet away from them in the world today. I think 111 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 4: we sort of we talk about things like toxic masculinity, 112 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 4: and you know, we've had a discussion about this with 113 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 4: our teachers at school, and if you think about that 114 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: phrase and the wrong way, it's almost as if masculinity 115 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: is toxic, and we actually don't want that message going 116 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 4: out to our kids. We want our young men to 117 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 4: feel proud of being a young men, enjoy their physicality, 118 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 4: enjoy those traditional male sports, and not have to sort 119 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 4: of be apologetic about that. But I think there's been 120 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 4: a bit of a shift in recent years where we 121 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 4: sort of we've seen anything that young men do or 122 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 4: that they've traditionally done, as somehow wrong because it's sexist 123 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: towards women. And so we've got this huge reaction going 124 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 4: back the other way, and I think that that's part 125 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 4: of all of us as well. 126 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: Did we over correct post feminism. 127 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 4: Probably yes, probably, you know, we've we've we've got a 128 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: when we're talking about the equality of the sexes. We're 129 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 4: not talking about people being the same. You know, a 130 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 4: man's life is different from a woman's life. A man's outloock, 131 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: the way he experiences the world is different from a female's. 132 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 4: And I think that that's fine, that that doesn't have 133 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 4: to be one or the other. We have to celebrate both, 134 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 4: and we have to celebrate them enjoying being whatever gender 135 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 4: they are in a way that's not reliant on subjugating 136 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 4: the opposite gender. And I just think we're in a 137 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 4: really weird position right now in the world in terms 138 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 4: of how we think are done all that. 139 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 3: Joe, thank you very much for being with me.

Joe said, basically, 153 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: we overcorrected post feminism and we demonized masculinity and now 154 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: young men and that this is me paraphrasing young men 155 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: and running into the arms of people like Andrew Tate. 156 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 5: Ryan. 157 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: Finally somebody recognizing how men have been badly treated in 158 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: this postmodern world, says Ian. 159 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 2: Ryan. 160 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 3: My son who does have a dad and a good dad. 161 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 3: He follows Andrew Tate online. He likes Andrew Tate because 162 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 3: at times he's highly amusing it indeed outrageous. He doesn't 163 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 3: agree with them all the time. That finds it funny 164 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: all the same, says Nicky Ryan.

Cameron George on tonight, 170 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 3: by the way, on the Warriors. 171 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, Bob McMurray is going to join us Formula one 172 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 6: Man thirty is a McLaren to talk about what happens 173 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 6: now with Liam, if there's any truth to the room, 174 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 6: or how it develops, why is the car so undrivable? 175 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 6: So on and so forth, And then Cameron George joins 176 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 6: us afterward to talk about the release of Dylan Walker 177 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 6: needs to go back to his family. He's got kids 178 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 6: over there. He tried it super hard to stick around, 179 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 6: but at the end it's like, I can't do this anymore. 180 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: Liam Lawson. The we don't yet know if it's true, right. 181 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 3: This is the Dutch newspaper reporting smoke fire. But the 182 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 3: Dutch newspaper's pretty reliable, isn't. 183 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 6: It when it comes to issues of Red Bull. Yes, 184 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 6: they are, probably because there's a Dutchman who's won four 185 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 6: championships in a roll called Max for stepping. So if 186 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 6: you're going to believe anyone, you look to that report 187 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 6: and say, yes, it seems a tad trigger happy from 188 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 6: Red Bull. But this is not out of character for 189 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 6: that team at all. 190 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard looking at it as a Kiwi, 191 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 3: you know, it's man that sucks if this is going 192 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 3: to happen. But at the same time, I mean, it's 193 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: a pretty ruthless sport. 194 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 6: Another one is incredibly tough. A lot of the guys 195 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 6: that get in there bought their way in anyway. They 196 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 6: aren't drive. Daddy's got a pot of money. And the 197 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 6: ones that do actually get in there because they've got 198 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 6: driving ability. 199 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 7: Cut throat right the way through. 200 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 6: Look, I understand if they say we're going to give 201 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 6: the drive to Yuki Sonoda because Honda give him a 202 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 6: whole lot of money. They give me a lot of 203 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 6: money to have him engaged in that, and it is 204 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 6: a home track, it is Suzuka, the fans be there, blah, 205 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 6: I can see that. What I'm interested in is what 206 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 6: happens to Liam if they pull that trigger. Does he 207 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 6: get put back to the racing bulls car which Yuki 208 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 6: Sonoda is currently driving, or is he drop kicked. 209 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 7: Out of the sport altogether? Now that would. 210 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 6: Be brutal if they just drop him back to racing balls. 211 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 7: That's that's not a bad car. It's easy to drive. 212 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 6: It looks like it's telling okay with him at Ajab, 213 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 6: But yeah, for him to be ejected right out the back. 214 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 6: I don't even think Red Bull are capable of making 215 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 6: a move like that, because that would make them look 216 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 6: quite stupid. 217 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, well it's it's a bit of an 218 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: indictment on them, isn't it the fact that that if 219 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 3: this is true? Yeah, dares he so tonight you've got 220 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: Cam George and you're also doing Limb Lawson. 221 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, with Bob McMurray. I want Liam on, but he's 222 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 6: almost untouchable. It was like, you know, since he became 223 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 6: a Formula one dude, you just can't get anywhere near. 224 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 7: Him, which is understandable. 225 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 3: He's been busy. 226 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 7: I'm not I rate at all. 227 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 6: One of these days, I'm sure we'll get Liam Lawson 228 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 6: on the program. But you're waiting for that decision when 229 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 6: it comes out. I don't know whether they ain't coming. 230 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 6: I got no idea. If they're going to do something, 231 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 6: they'd probably do it Thursday night Friday morning before it 232 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 6: all starts. 233 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: And Susy, we'll see tonight at seven twenty one minutes 234 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: after four news talks, he'd be someone says, blessing, blessing 235 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 3: for Liam, who drives an F one car. Anyway, Well, 236 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: it's quite a lucrative thing to do.

It was about a 275 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 8: young boy who stabbed a young girl to death. And 276 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 8: then there was a couple of months later on the 277 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 8: news there was a piece about a young boy who 278 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 8: stabbed a young. 279 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 3: Girl to death. 280 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 8: And these were the opposite ends of the country.

But there's 339 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 3: a catch. You have to be at least ninety years 340 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 3: old to enter. Fireball has also said the prize is 341 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 3: strictly for the winner, and has forbidden any attempts to 342 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: pass the lifetime supply onto anyone else through any sort 343 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 3: of inheritance loophole. 344 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: The huddle with News International correspondence with endsit Eye Insurance 345 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: peace of Mind for New Zealand Business Day. 346 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 3: Mentionin's a US correspondent with US Now Dan, good afternoon. 347 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 12: Hey, Ryan, good afternoon. 348 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 3: So Mike, how's this going down? 349 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: This? 350 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: You know, one day it didn't happen that, you know, 351 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 3: the Atlantic is this evil media outlet, and then today 352 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 3: full responsibility. 353 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 12: Right, And I'm quite surprised that he came and he 354 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 12: raised his hand so quickly because I mean, like you said, 355 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 12: this is potentially classified information. It appeared in this group 356 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 12: chat about the military strikes, and a journalist was included 357 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 12: in that chat. And like you mentioned too, I mean, 358 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 12: how do you get that phone number in without checking 359 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 12: on it? I mean that'd be like sending a well, 360 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 12: you know, not a picture to somebody that you didn't 361 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 12: mean to send it to. But obviously this was and 362 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 12: President President Trump came out and said, well, you know what, 363 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 12: this was a learning lesson. So just a short time ago, 364 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 12: Michael Waltz, as you just heard, came out and said, 365 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 12: you know, okay, that was me. I take responsibility. And 366 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 12: it's interesting because they use Signal, which is this encrypted 367 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 12: messaging platform. But it's a commercial app I mean, something 368 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 12: anybody can get and it's not approved for classified information. 369 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 12: So that's kind of a head scratch. I mean, who 370 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 12: would approve using something like this? 371 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you kind of Russia have a great to 372 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 3: ceasefire in the black seat, but these conditions, right, Russia 373 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 3: line are going to do it if they dropped some 374 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 3: of the sanctions. 375 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 12: Yeah, they wanted a lot of the restrictions that we've 376 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 12: put on, and we've been the US on fertilizer and 377 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 12: food and the banks lifted by the US. I don't 378 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 12: know if it's going to get to that point. However, 379 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 12: earlier today the presidential reporters, he was looking at all 380 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 12: the conditions, at all the options. He says, quote, we're 381 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 12: thinking about them. And then you've got Zelenski who's accusing 382 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 12: Russia of trying to deceive mediators because he says they 383 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 12: keep adding new terms. He said, they're already trying to 384 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 12: twist the agreements and to see both the mediators on 385 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 12: the whole world. And then I mean the US and 386 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 12: these two countries have agreed demand strikes against a lot 387 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 12: of the facilities over there. But it seems like these 388 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 12: terms and conditions are getting longer and maybe a little 389 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 12: bit more complicated, but I guess that's to be expected 390 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 12: when you now have three countries trying to broke a 391 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 12: deal like this. 392 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. Hey, the AP hitting to court to try and 393 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: get their access to the White House reinstated. Have I 394 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: got this wrong? Or is AP still allowed to the 395 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 3: White House press briefings but just not allowed to the 396 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: Oval office In other areas. 397 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 12: Well, they can be on the grounds of the White House, 398 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 12: but they can't go into the press briefings. If the 399 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 12: President flies to let's say, Georgia, they're not going to 400 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 12: fly on Air Force one. They have to pay their 401 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 12: own way, which is what they're doing right now. And 402 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 12: what people have to realize is the AP has provided 403 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 12: as a news source for hundreds of millions of people 404 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 12: around the world. They've got print and digital and video 405 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 12: and audio for decades and decades, and now you have 406 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 12: a White House who is saying, well, you don't agree 407 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 12: with us, so we're banning you from covering us. And 408 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 12: this sets a very bad precedent because you're bowing before 409 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 12: the White House or you get kicked out, or you 410 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 12: don't get called on by the Press Secretary, which we've 411 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 12: seen in previous administrations. But the bottom line is the 412 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 12: government favoring certain news organizations or others is part of 413 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 12: as many people have said, over here are the authoritarian playbook, 414 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 12: and you just don't want to go down that road. 415 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: All right, Dan, thank you very much for that. Dan Matchison, 416 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 3: our US correspondent. Time is twenty away from five Brian 417 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 3: Bridge update on Australia and the budget there so elbows 418 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 3: come out. The bidding war basically has started in the 419 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 3: Australian election, with the budget announced last night and Elbow's 420 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: tax cuts rush through Parliament this afternoon. The tax cut 421 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: worth two hundred and sixty eight bucks to you if 422 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: you're in Australia in the first year, five hundred and 423 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 3: thirty six bucks in the second year, and every year thereafter. 424 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 3: Our Dutton is going to reply tomorrow, so you can 425 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: expect him to probably double that because he's got to 426 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 3: the problem defits deficits. I mean, we think we've got 427 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 3: a problem with deficits. Deficits they're predicted for the next 428 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 3: decade the Australian government's books. So the question for is 429 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 3: not who gives me the most money, but can we 430 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 3: actually afford the money that's been doled out in the 431 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: selection campaign. Nineteen away from five Barries opernext for. 432 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: Politics with Centrics credit check your customers and get payments certainty. 433 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: Sixteen away from five News Talks there'd be Barry Sober here.

Although Penny Henardo was the least offensive 442 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 7: in the house when they did the harka, he did 443 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 7: stand on the floor and join in with the Maldi party. 444 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 7: They've yet to get their sentence, but they may maybe 445 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 7: not ten seconds, maybe they're thirty seconds, who knows. 446 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 3: All right, now, it's all about the Greens today. 447 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 7: Oh yes, he's got such a laugh the other day 448 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 7: about them here and came more of a laugh today, Ryan. 449 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 3: So we've got two things to tackle and we've actually 450 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 3: got an update on the and everyone would have heard 451 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 3: about the cops. Tamotha Paul and the police comments, well, 452 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 3: there's an update in just a second. But Barry, you've 453 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 3: got an update from the House on thefit. 454 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 7: Profit profit profit. Yes, indeed you can understand why the 455 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 7: Green's leadership in Parliament have embraced the color of their 456 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 7: party because they're Green with envy of anyone that does 457 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 7: make money out of doing business. Their co leader, Close Swarbrick, 458 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 7: was added again in Parliament today out the quizzing the 459 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 7: Prime Minister on why he, without shame embraces profit. 460 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 13: Here she is When the Prime Minister says profit is 461 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 13: a good thing, does he mean the one million dollars 462 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 13: in excess profits a day made by the supermarket chiwopoly, 463 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 13: or the record billions in profits made by banks and 464 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 13: the energy sector that a former national government partially privatized, 465 00:23:58,760 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 13: or something else? 466 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 14: I mean, I answally him stump for words the thoughts 467 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 14: I think in that question of Chloe Sporwick ever being 468 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 14: a finance minister in a Labour Greens government future government 469 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 14: is not great. 470 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 13: How much private profit is he comfortable asking New Zealanders 471 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 13: to fork out for his public private partnerships? 472 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 15: Coverty questions, right, on with Peters asked the Prime Minister, 473 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 15: has his cabinet decided to review all of the world 474 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 15: where dusk capital still works? And do they know they 475 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 15: as a cabinet tend to take on those economic theories. 476 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 14: It would be safe to say that we are not 477 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 14: proponents of dust capital. 478 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 13: How much private profit is he comfortable asking New Zealanders 479 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 13: to fork out for his public private partnerships because he 480 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 13: refuses to fairly tax the wealthiest New Zealanders in this country? 481 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 13: Why is the government refusing to invest and publicly led, 482 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 13: publicly funded and publicly operated infrastructure. 483 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 7: Yes, indeed, and the answer to that question is quite simple, ready, 484 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 7: because we're capital thinn in this country. That's why we 485 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 7: seek capital from abroad. 486 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 3: Now, the Greens spokeswoman on police Tammotha Paul at it again, 487 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 3: this time saying basically that cops on the beat are 488 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 3: just wandering around wasting their time. 489 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 7: Well essentially that's what she is saying that. I mean, 490 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 7: she's under fire for the comments. I mean, Mark Mitchell, 491 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 7: the Police Minister, can't believe it. She said it was 492 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 7: possible to replace cops on the beat and of course 493 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 7: the latest advent of this government. She seemed to suggest 494 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 7: though it's a new advent for police being out on 495 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 7: the beat. Well for her knowledge, and she's only in 496 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 7: a late twenty they are on the beat when I 497 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 7: was a kid, and that's many many years ago before 498 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 7: she was ever a spark in her parent's eye. But look, 499 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 7: Paul makes no apologies for her view on the police 500 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 7: and being the Worthington Central MP. She reckons she knows 501 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 7: what she's talking about. 502 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 16: I think that the police should be responding to incidences 503 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 16: of domestic violence, sexual violence, things that only they can do. 504 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 16: I think beat patrols is an easy thing that can 505 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 16: be substituted for by Marty Warden's by halfay aka kind 506 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 16: of community people walking around which we have in Wellington. 507 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 16: I think it's unusual for them to see someone be 508 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 16: critical of the police. But I think it is important 509 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 16: that somebody in this parliament are critical of police because 510 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 16: the IPCA, who investigate misconduct by the police, only investigate 511 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 16: two percent of all of the complaints that they receive. 512 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 16: The heavier visual presence of police does not make people 513 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 16: feel safer. It makes people feel more on edge because 514 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 16: there are more police around. 515 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 7: I mean, can you believe that this is the Greens 516 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 7: spokes woman on police and if they are in coalition 517 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 7: with the Labor Party, lord help her at the next election. 518 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 7: Well who knows. I mean, you've got Chloe worrying about profit, 519 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 7: You've got this Tamatha Paul saying cop shouldn't be on 520 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 7: the beat. What's the what's the country going to come to? 521 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 3: There's actually an update on this Barry from Laura who's 522 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 3: executive producer here. So Tamotha Paul in her comments accused 523 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 3: police of waiting for homeless people to leave their spot, 524 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 3: packing their stuff up and throwing it in the bin, 525 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 3: and she said she credited this with feedback she had 526 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 3: received as the local MP from the Salvation Army. Now, 527 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 3: of course the media has gone to the Salvation Army 528 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 3: and they have replied, I am not cured, thank you 529 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 3: for your inquiry. I'm not sure who might have made 530 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 3: this comment to Tamotha Paul. It was not anyone in 531 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 3: an official capacity with the Salvation Army, as I am aware, 532 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 3: we have a good relationship with the New Zealand Police 533 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 3: and we would raise any potential problems directly with them. 534 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 7: So not refuse collectors on the beat. 535 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 3: No, apparently not and the Salvation Army doesn't hold that view. 536 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, and wait for some more evidence. 537 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 7: I guess where she comes up with the figures. I 538 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 7: will never know. No, like two percent of IPCA complaints 539 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 7: being investigated, there's independent investigations with two percent, but there 540 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 7: are many more complaints that are looked at by the place. 541 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't just they don't ignore everything else. They 542 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 3: look into everything and then only those that they dom 543 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 3: serious enough or with legitimate. 544 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 7: They have an independent investigation. And that's where she got 545 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 7: the two percent figure. But you know it's totally misleading. 546 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 3: Barry Soper, thanks for your time.

She said, could Liam 551 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 3: Lawson potentially join another team? None of the journals seem 552 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 3: to be asking this question, and I would like it answered. 553 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 4: Jan. 554 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: You will get that out sid After five evening, it's 555 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: nine two. 556 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers. The mic asking breakfast. 557 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 17: The government is having a crack at cross Party support 558 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 17: for their RMA reform. Labor Party leader Crushipkins. 559 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 2: Where are you at. 560 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 18: We're keen to try and achieve some certainty for New Zealanders. 561 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 18: So if we can find a way forward that involves 562 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 18: a bit of compromise, and then we're very keen to 563 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 18: talk to them. 564 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 3: One of the things that. 565 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 18: We've heard a lot from New Zealanders is the ping 566 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 18: pong where each government comes in and just changes everything 567 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 18: the last government did is actually getting a bit dizzy, 568 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 18: InKo people. Compromise will be required on both sides if 569 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 18: we're going to get something that's a bit more stable 570 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 18: and that avoids that. 571 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: Now. 572 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 17: I was very pleased to hear you say that the 573 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 17: other day, but then I asked Ginny Anderson about your charter. 574 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 3: Schools and she botched that. 575 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 17: So on one hand you're saying we want to cooperate, 576 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 17: on another hand, we're not canceling stuff. And then you 577 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 17: are back tomorrow at six am the mic asking breakfast 578 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 17: with the rain drove the last news talk ZB. 579 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 3: Six minutes away from five. Will look at Liam Lawson 580 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 3: after five. Also we will look at the TOTO on 581 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 3: a city council, which is copying some flack that's putting 582 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 3: it mildly from ratepayers over the coffee bill half a 583 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: million dollars, though that has spread over five years. The 584 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 3: real question for me is how much. Because at this 585 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 3: workplace you get instant coffee. You've got a choice. You've 586 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 3: got tea instant coffee milo, or you've got a coffee machine, 587 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 3: not a barista one where you actually have to make 588 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 3: it yourself and do hard labor, but an automatic coffee machine, 589 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 3: though it does froth the milk apparently I haven't used 590 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 3: that feature yet, bells and whistles here it ends in me, 591 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 3: but I don't know what that costs. But we've kind 592 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: of crunched the numbers on how much your instant coffee 593 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 3: would cost per person, and then how much your barista 594 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 3: coffee would cost per person. And we'll talk about that 595 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: after five o'cock because if you're getting a twelve percent 596 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 3: increase in rates, you will be asking questions. Let's be 597 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 3: honest about that. China you will be probably not surprised 598 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 3: to know, remains the top threat to the United States. 599 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 3: So this Every year of the US does a threat 600 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 3: assessment from intelligence officials, which basically means what did the 601 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 3: American spies think so, they say enemy number one, congratulations again, 602 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 3: it is you China. They say they're making steady progress. 603 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 3: The Chinese on capabilities to take Taiwan. They say they 604 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 3: can hit us weapons. Are sorry, they can hit a 605 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 3: conventional hit the US with conventional weapons and cyber attacks. 606 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 3: And here's the thing. They can also get at the 607 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 3: satellites in space that the US controls. They also say 608 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 3: that the Chinese, according to their latest intelligence, want to 609 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 3: replace the US as the top AI power by twenty thirty. 610 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 3: And he who controls the AI controls the world, I suppose, 611 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 3: is the theory. It is coming up to four minutes 612 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 3: away from five. 613 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: We'll have bridge. 614 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 3: We'll have a little bit more on that after six 615 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 3: this evening, and a little bit more on this deal 616 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 3: between Russia and Ukraine broken by the United States. This 617 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 3: is in Saudi Arabia. They've agreed to a cease fire, 618 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 3: but only if the Russians get the sanctions lifted on 619 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 3: their agricultural products. So is that going to happen? Is 620 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 3: the U is going to sort of appease and make 621 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 3: that work. Well, we have to wait and see, won't 622 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 3: we talk to continue in Saudi Arabia.

So if they 667 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 21: are going to do what they say, he's you know, 668 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 21: he's probably going to end up in the V car. 669 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 21: But if that's the case, and if that's the case, 670 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 21: well that car has proven to be quite driveable and 671 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 21: actually quite competitive so far in twenty twenty five the 672 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 21: first two rounds. 673 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 2: The thing that's let them down is. 674 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,439 Speaker 21: The strategic sort of plays which has cost the team 675 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 21: a number of points for both their drivers. So if 676 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 21: he does end up in that car, it's a team 677 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 21: he knows, well, there's a good chance he's going to 678 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 21: perform probably performed quite well, because that car is looking 679 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 21: like it's easier to drive and performing quite well at 680 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 21: the moment compared to the difficulty that the RB twenty 681 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 21: one that Max for Stepan and Lamb are currently driving. 682 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 21: How difficult that car is by the looks of it, 683 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 21: and also by what has been reported by Max for 684 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 21: steppin on saying how difficult that car is to drive. 685 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 21: So who knows, who knows what will happen, But there's 686 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 21: a lot of evolution that that team needs to have 687 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 21: because if Max for Stepan is not winning, that means 688 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 21: that car is not anywhere. 689 00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 2: Near where it needs to be. 690 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 21: Because he is the best driver in the world at 691 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 21: the moment, you know, all the stats say it. He's 692 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 21: proven that time and time again, and if he's not 693 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 21: winning in the red Ball, that means that car is 694 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 21: not where it needs to be, and it's obviously been 695 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 21: found to be a lot tougher for Liam to get 696 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 21: hold of and. 697 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 2: Wrap his head around. 698 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 21: And Max is so experienced and does have an innate 699 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 21: set of skills which is allowing him to still be 700 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 21: competitive and it's it's a shock to me Liam is 701 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 21: playing it so hard. 702 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 3: In a tough position to be and to Greg, thank 703 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 3: you very much for that analysis. Greg Murphy, who's a 704 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,919 Speaker 3: most sport legend with us on the show talking Liam 705 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 3: Lawson ten up to five y Bridge. Just sentencing laws 706 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 3: passed today They will limit how much judges can discount 707 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 3: a sentence. This will be a cap at forty percent. 708 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 3: Paul Goldsmith is Justice Minister, Home Minister, good afternoon, how 709 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 3: are you good? Thank you so sentencing discount. So the 710 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 3: cap is now a maximum of forty percent. What can 711 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 3: you get a discount for? Can you get it discount 712 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 3: for your culture or because you grew up poor? 713 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 22: We look, the primary discount is for pleading guilty, and 714 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 22: that's something that is important. 715 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 3: Obviously. 716 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 22: If people plead guilty, then the victims of crime spared 717 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 22: all the trauma of the trial and so forth, So 718 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 22: there's a discount for that. What we're doing though, was 719 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 22: making sure that you can get up to twenty five 720 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 22: percent discount if you plead guilty right at the start 721 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 22: of the process, but not on the morning of the trial, 722 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 22: which has started to creep into a practice. So we're 723 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 22: having a sliding scale of that. Well, there are other 724 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 22: things such as youth and remorse and the background, all situation, 725 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 22: and so what we're also saying with this as well, 726 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 22: Yes you can be remorseful, but only once. You can't 727 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 22: be remorseful five times, and you can't get a discount 728 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 22: for being young a whole set of times. Either, You've 729 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 22: got to take some consequences. 730 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 3: What about the background, because that's one of the things 731 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 3: that you talked about in the election a lot, and 732 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 3: you can still get a discount for it. 733 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 22: Well, look of the sentencing principles is to take into 734 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 22: account the circumstances and background of the offender. What we 735 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 22: stopped was the cottage industry that had developed around cultural reports, 736 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 22: which was starting to cost millions and millions of dollars. 737 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 22: So we put a stop to that. 738 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 3: But you can change anything, can't you. I mean, you 739 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 3: say it's the principle fact. You can change those if 740 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 3: you want. 741 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 22: And so the basic approach that we have is that 742 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 22: Parliament sets maximum sentences for serious war for crimes, and 743 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 22: then there's discretion for the judiciary. What we're doing with 744 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 22: this legislation is limiting that discretion because we're concerned that 745 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 22: there's been too many instances of these massive discounts where 746 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 22: people are sentenced, are convicted of serious crimes, violent offenses, 747 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 22: sexual offenses, and then through a series of large discounts, 748 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 22: end up on home detention and sentences that we don't 749 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 22: think reflect the gravity of the crime. And so that's 750 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 22: why Parliament sending this signal and this government sending the 751 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 22: signal that we want to have stronger consequences. 752 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 3: Explain to me this idea of you're encouraging the use 753 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 3: of cumulative sentencing, for you know, if you do something 754 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 3: while you're on bail or you're in custody or whatever, 755 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 3: then you get a cumulative sentence or that's being encouraged. 756 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 3: What does that mean. 757 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 22: Well, it is sometimes a practice that if you're convicted 758 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 22: of one thing and then two weeks later, or another 759 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 22: thing and then another thing, if you serve them all cumulatively, 760 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 22: you could end up having a prison sentence for twenty 761 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 22: years or fifteen years. And that has real consequences for 762 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 22: the whole system, and so sometimes those sentences are put together. Now, 763 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 22: part of our coalition agreement with New Zealand first was 764 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 22: to insist upon concurrent sentencing and so adding them all 765 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 22: together into one sentence. But we've got to work at 766 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 22: that piece by piece because the reality is that would 767 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 22: have a huge impact on our prison population. So we're 768 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 22: just working our way through it and encouraging that and sentencing. 769 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 3: Do you want because it doesn't seem fair. I mean 770 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 3: if you're the victim of it. So let's say somebody 771 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 3: robs a bank, stabbed somebody and then rape somebody. If 772 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 3: you're the one who got raped or got stabbed, why 773 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 3: should you the sentence not be just as long, do 774 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? It's almost like they're getting 775 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 3: off just because they did other stuff. They're getting off 776 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 3: on your crime. 777 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 22: Well, yes, And the other broader concern is if somebody 778 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,439 Speaker 22: is on bail for a serious offense already, and they're 779 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 22: on bail and they go out and create another fresh victim, 780 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 22: if there's no additional penalty, then that sentence a very 781 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 22: bad signal. So that's the thing that we're worried about, 782 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 22: and that's why we're encouraging those sentences to be added 783 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 22: one on top of the other. We haven't gone so 784 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 22: far as legislating that should that should always happen every 785 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 22: time at this stage because it does have very very 786 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 22: significant impacts on the prison population and our ability to 787 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 22: cope with it. We're we're tackling it one step at 788 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 22: a time. 789 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 3: All right, Minister, will leave it there. Paul Goldsmith, the 790 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 3: Justice Minister, on the new sentencing walls that have been 791 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 3: passed today, much talked about, big feature of the election campaign, 792 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 3: you might remember, and so finally made their way through Parliament. 793 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 3: What are we now, March of twenty twenty five. You're 794 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 3: on News talks. Heb coming up next, we'll go to 795 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 3: Totonger where there is huge uproar about the coffee at 796 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 3: the Council. News Talks here'b it is seventeen minutes after five. 797 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 3: I'm sorry Jan who texted the show earlier, and another 798 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 3: number of you have texted in to remind me that 799 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 3: I've forgot to ask Jan's question of Greg Murphy about 800 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 3: Liam Lawson. My apologies. I have since checked. So Jan's 801 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 3: question was basically, if Liam Lawson gets the sack from 802 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 3: Red Bull, red Bull? Can he go elsewhere? Does anyone 803 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 3: else want him? And the answer is that yes, there 804 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 3: were two teams other than Red Bull who wanted him 805 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 3: in the last round, but Red Bull will likely still 806 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 3: want him. They're not just going to drop him completely. 807 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 3: They'll keep him on and maybe just demote him. So 808 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 3: there you go, Jan there's the answer to your question. 809 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 3: Hopefully you're satisfied. Eighteen minutes after five, Ryan totong A 810 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 3: City Council has accepted a five year contract for coffee 811 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 3: machines so staff don't have to waste time leaving the 812 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 3: office for their fix the problem.

Totonger City councilor Steve Morris with 817 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 3: me now, Hi Steve. 818 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 23: Good afternoon, Ryan. How will you good? 819 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 3: Can you understand the outrage? 820 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 4: Oh? 821 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 23: I certainly can. When I first found out about the secret, 822 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 23: I cerddainly spat out my. 823 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,240 Speaker 3: Milo Why half a million dollars? 824 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 24: Yeah? 825 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 23: So I've had a look at it and looked into 826 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 23: the detail, and there are roughly six hundred odd people 827 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 23: in this new council building, and if half of them 828 00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 23: have a cup of coffee day over forty eight weeks, 829 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 23: five days a week, it's looking at about fifty five 830 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 23: sixty six cents per coffee. But when you look at 831 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 23: that four hundred and seventy thousand dollars figure, I thought 832 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 23: it must have been coming from that Sumatran civet that 833 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 23: eats coffee beans off the jungle floor and then partially 834 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 23: digests them and then people make a very very expensive 835 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 23: coffee out of it. 836 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,360 Speaker 3: So the just the context of four hundred and seventy 837 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,760 Speaker 3: thousand is for the machine, which is like a proper 838 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 3: barista machine, and the coffee beans for five years, but 839 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 3: not the milk, right, And the milk is correct one, 840 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 3: there's a lot of milk to froth it up. You 841 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 3: need a lot of milk to begin with, and then 842 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 3: there's a lot of waste of milk as well, So 843 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,959 Speaker 3: we haven't counted that in the four seventy right. 844 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 23: No, it's not gouther than seventy. I think it's a 845 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 23: conservative assumption that you've only got half the number of 846 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 23: public servants in the building having one coffee per day. Yeah, true, 847 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 23: So I think I think it's a reasonable assumption. That 848 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 23: being said, it's a hell of a big number. And 849 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 23: I think in support of the Mayor's comment around user 850 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 23: pays as a way of selling a rather large budget 851 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 23: hole that we've been left by the commission, charity starts 852 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,839 Speaker 23: at home, and perhaps we could be charging fifty cents 853 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 23: or even a dollar a coffee from our council organization 854 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 23: to recap the costs, may start making money be tex issue. 855 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 3: These are good to see, these are great ideas, but 856 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 3: people are ratepayers who just have been happ with a 857 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 3: twelve and a half percent rate increase. We'll be listening 858 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 3: to the thinking this is ridiculous. What are you going 859 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 3: to have a ten with people putting a dollar or 860 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 3: two dollars in? Why not just scrap the barista style 861 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 3: coffee all together and go with mconna hame. 862 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,240 Speaker 24: Oh well. 863 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 7: It does. 864 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 23: That was a very interesting add back in the nineties. 865 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 23: I would certainly be in favor of that. However, my 866 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 23: understanding is that the tender document has come back, so 867 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,320 Speaker 23: it was published on the council website a month ago 868 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 23: when I saw it, and so we've got to work 869 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 23: with what we've been left. And so my view is, 870 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 23: make the best out of a bad situation. Get people 871 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 23: with their swipe cards to log in and you get 872 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 23: a dollar taken out of your your pay packet for 873 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 23: the next Fortnite, and go forward to it. 874 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:27,760 Speaker 2: It's step obligated. 875 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 3: Does it? Does it? Really? Does? Steve? I think the 876 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 3: simple answer is just throw the machine out and save 877 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,919 Speaker 3: yourself the money. Rip the contract up, Steve Morris, he's 878 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 3: they're telling a counselor twenty two minutes half to five 879 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 3: on news Talk sebb Okay, listen up carefully as this 880 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 3: is a jaw dropping winery clearance offer.

Hi Dave, Oh, Hi Ryan, What exactly 981 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,919 Speaker 3: does the DNA test tell us? 982 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 24: Well, it concerns Ryan whether we are biologically male or female. 983 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 24: And I think this is the contentious issue that has arisen, 984 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 24: and I think it was highlighted at the Olympics in 985 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,920 Speaker 24: Paris league controversy over the two boxers who were considered 986 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 24: not to be of the sex in which they were fighting. 987 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 24: And I think this is where the controversy over gender, 988 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 24: which is an affirmation and sex, which is a biologically 989 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 24: determined fact. It can't be changed. I think this is 990 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 24: where the controversy arose, and I think World Athletics are 991 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 24: doing their bit to ensure that people who do compete 992 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 24: in women's events are truly biological female athletes. 993 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:32,760 Speaker 3: And does is the test accurate? I mean is it? Yes? 994 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 24: Yes? 995 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 3: All right, So no question about that. 996 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 24: And I know science is very very solid and it's 997 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,799 Speaker 24: been I mean, it's used in common medical practice for 998 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 24: genetic issues and to determine the sex of individuals. So 999 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 24: it is sound and it is sound science. 1000 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 3: What about this argument that if you have transitioned after 1001 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 3: or if you've transitioned, say during teenage, so you've never 1002 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 3: had the advantage of testosterone during your formative years, that 1003 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 3: might influence you know, your performance later in your career. 1004 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 3: Does that come into it? This is quite a line 1005 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 3: in the stand, isn't it. It's basically saying if you 1006 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 3: were born a female, you're not welcoming athletics. 1007 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 24: No, it's saying, if you were born a biologically female, 1008 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 24: you are entitled to compete in women's events. That's conflating 1009 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 24: the terms gender and sex. I think when we talk 1010 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,839 Speaker 24: about males and females, we're talking about sex. When we 1011 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 24: talk about men and women, we're talking about your affirmation 1012 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 24: as a man or a woman, yes, which may not 1013 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 24: be in accordance with your sex allocated at birth. Does 1014 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 24: it make sense. 1015 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 3: Yes, So basically I got it around the wrong way 1016 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 3: because it gets confusing when you start to but if 1017 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:57,360 Speaker 3: you're born biologically male years then you cannot compete. 1018 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,240 Speaker 24: Yeah, no, that's true. I mean, and we have what's 1019 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 24: called the binary in sport, is that biological females and 1020 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 24: biological males differ from the time of puberty, where the 1021 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 24: liberation of testosterone, the male hormone, is ten to fifteen 1022 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 24: times higher in males. And it's the difference between developing stature, strength, 1023 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:26,840 Speaker 24: muscle power, endurance, and various other factors which give a 1024 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,800 Speaker 24: discriminator between men and women. It's why no women's world 1025 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 24: record in any sport is faster or higher or longer 1026 00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 24: than any male. It's a question of fairness and it's 1027 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 24: an acknowledgment of normal biological development. 1028 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 3: And a nutshell in a word, day Is this the 1029 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 3: right move? 1030 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,919 Speaker 24: I think it is Ryan and I think it kind 1031 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 24: of sidesteps the controversy that arose in Paris where Thomas Bark, 1032 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 24: the IOC president, said, well, as far as I'm concerned, 1033 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 24: what's written in their passports and the way that these 1034 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 24: two athletes were brought up, in other words, they were 1035 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,440 Speaker 24: brought up as females, is good enough for me. So 1036 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,919 Speaker 24: he put aside the science, which would have, I think, 1037 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 24: put the debate to rest. And he went on a 1038 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 24: fairly fundamental and ideological principle of saying, well, you know, 1039 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 24: in their passports it says their women, and they've been 1040 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 24: brought up as women. That's good enough for me. 1041 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 3: So this is bringing it back to bringing it back 1042 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,640 Speaker 3: to the science, Dave, which obviously is your field as well. 1043 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 3: I appreciate your time, Dave Jerrard, who's a former Olympian 1044 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 3: emeritus professor in Sports Medicine at Otaga University. It is 1045 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:35,319 Speaker 3: eighteen to. 1046 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,240 Speaker 1: Six The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty. 1047 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 2: Find your one of the Kind. 1048 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 3: I'm the Huddle tonight. Jack Tam, host of Saturday mornings 1049 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,279 Speaker 3: on News Talks, HEB and Q and A on TV one. 1050 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 3: Hey Jack, Hey, Ryan, good to have you on. And 1051 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 3: Jordan Williams is here from taxpos In. Hey, Jordan, did 1052 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,840 Speaker 3: the right the right move Jack by our World Athletics, 1053 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:56,439 Speaker 3: What do you think? 1054 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 26: I think they and many other sporting bodies simply feel 1055 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 26: like things have got to a point where they have 1056 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 26: to draw a line in the sand. And the problem is, 1057 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,560 Speaker 26: in some respects it is a very very difficult line 1058 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 26: to draw, because inevitably they're going to be people you 1059 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 26: upset and given participation is one of the kind of 1060 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 26: foundations of most sports, they're going to be people who 1061 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,080 Speaker 26: feel as though they are being excluded from it. I 1062 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 26: think for the most part, you know a lot of 1063 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 26: people are going to support World Athletics with this. And 1064 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 26: there's the transgender issue which they've referring to, which I 1065 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,759 Speaker 26: suppose is the difference between gender and sex and the 1066 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,719 Speaker 26: way that he described people as affirming their gender. I 1067 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,080 Speaker 26: think one of the big questions with World Athletics is 1068 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:46,319 Speaker 26: the place for people who have DSD. I think they 1069 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:50,439 Speaker 26: call it like differences in sexual development. So even though 1070 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 26: we think of sex as being binary males and females, 1071 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 26: obviously there are some people who have things like additional zones. 1072 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,919 Speaker 26: So they still might particularly be a woman or genetic man, 1073 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 26: but they might have certain physical advantages that other people 1074 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 26: who are sex as they have. And of works exposition 1075 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 26: is that not only will this ruling mean that people 1076 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 26: who are perhaps transgender and identify as the different gender 1077 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 26: to their sex, not only will they not be able 1078 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,680 Speaker 26: to compete in their in they're chosen necessarily when the 1079 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 26: gender they identify with necessarily, but also people who have 1080 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 26: those naturally occurring differences might also be isolated. And like 1081 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 26: I say, you've got you've got to draw a line somewhere. 1082 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,440 Speaker 26: I can imagine that that's a group of people who 1083 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 26: feel pretty aggrieved at this because because when you think 1084 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 26: about it, you know, sorry, just one last point, Like 1085 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 26: when you think about it, like Michael, the reason he's 1086 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 26: won so many gold medals, one of the reasons he's 1087 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 26: won is because he has these kind of naturally occurring 1088 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 26: physical qualities that distinguish him from other swimmers. I mean 1089 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 26: you look at his the length of his arms, for example, 1090 00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 26: and his feet. I mean, he's completely different physiologically to 1091 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 26: so many of his so many of his competitors. And 1092 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 26: IPO saying that even some people who have those naturally 1093 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 26: occurring differences, they're also going to be unable to compete, 1094 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 26: you know, in the sticks that they were assigned. 1095 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 3: In other words, what about the hermaphrodites? And then that's 1096 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 3: essentially Jordan where we're going here. 1097 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 2: It's not. 1098 00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:29,400 Speaker 27: Have much to say. I think that that Dave from 1099 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 27: A from A if you'd listened to Radio New Zealand, 1100 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,640 Speaker 27: would have sounded quite radical. But based on the text 1101 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,640 Speaker 27: messages I can see coming into to this station seemed 1102 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 27: quite mainstream. And what what more could I add to 1103 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 27: what Jack and Dave have said? 1104 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 3: You don't want to touch this or that I've got. 1105 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 3: Apparently fighting from other taxes attracts lots. 1106 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:55,120 Speaker 27: Of enemies, apparently fighting for the difference between men and women. 1107 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,520 Speaker 3: Also, I mean I've picked one fair enough, fair enough 1108 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,439 Speaker 3: we can be on from this topic. We don't all 1109 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 3: have to pick aside. I think you've got to be 1110 00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 3: you've got to have a fair competition for women, for 1111 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,479 Speaker 3: biological women, but you can also have another Why can't 1112 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 3: they have another category? You know what I mean? 1113 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,479 Speaker 27: Like I saw you bite your tongue when he said, 1114 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 27: you know, you only need to be tested once in 1115 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 27: your life, and all the listeners were biting it by 1116 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,760 Speaker 27: the thinking is he going to ask? But what if 1117 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:23,720 Speaker 27: they change the gender? 1118 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing though, isn't it Yeah, but 1119 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 3: you did it. That was okay. No, I think David 1120 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 3: I very well. 1121 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 27: He had most of what you couldn't read out. 1122 00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,480 Speaker 3: Fourteen away from Sex News talks. They'd be would be 1123 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 3: back with Jack and Jordan in a second. 1124 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the ones 1125 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:43,920 Speaker 1: with local and global reach. 1126 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 3: Jack Tame and Jordan Williams on the huddle. Let's talk 1127 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 3: about something you can talk about Jordan's soon as you 1128 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 3: have whimped out of the last one total on a 1129 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,440 Speaker 3: city council in this coffee bill, So four hundred and 1130 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 3: seventy thousand dollars will get you four coffee machines and 1131 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,200 Speaker 3: beans for five years. 1132 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,919 Speaker 27: Just outrageous. This is a council that says, oh, we've 1133 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 27: got no money. We're going to put up rates by 1134 01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:10,520 Speaker 27: twelve percent, we need to revitalize the CBDA. Boy, oh boy, 1135 01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,800 Speaker 27: We're not going to send our staff outside for you know, 1136 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 27: to go to a cafe. What we just need to 1137 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 27: get a grup. This is a story of the taxpayer 1138 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 27: you've been sitting on. We've had this for about three weeks. 1139 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 27: The council had to respond within the next week about 1140 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:29,760 Speaker 27: more details. We found the tender online and what do 1141 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,120 Speaker 27: you know, they give it to some friendly media and 1142 01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 27: stuff to try to spin it. I am sorry, Mahi Drysdale. 1143 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,600 Speaker 27: You should be on here explaining to tarring and rate 1144 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,440 Speaker 27: payers facing a twelve percent hike and rates. 1145 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 7: How on earth you. 1146 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,360 Speaker 27: Justify half a million dollars for three four coffee machines. 1147 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,560 Speaker 27: You heard of espresso, There are a couple of hundred bucks. 1148 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 27: Also heard of coffee capsules, they're a dollar each. You're 1149 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 27: spending half a million dollars on four coffee machines. 1150 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,000 Speaker 3: And presumably they will also have on top of that 1151 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 3: Jack tea like they do here, and tea bags, you know, 1152 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 3: instant coffee and Milo, you know what I mean. Like, 1153 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 3: it's not just this. I'm assuming that's milk and the fridge. 1154 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 26: Yeah, well, careful Ryan. You know, I think some of 1155 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:17,640 Speaker 26: the shareholders a bit but un happy with things at 1156 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 26: the moment, so you don't want to give out too 1157 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:20,200 Speaker 26: much corporate. 1158 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 25: Detail at the moment. 1159 01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 26: But no, look, I just think what a missed opportunity. 1160 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 26: I mean, like you're coming out of a period where 1161 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 26: commissioners have been running the city because the council was 1162 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 26: so dysfunctional. One of the absolute top of the list 1163 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,920 Speaker 26: most critical roles I think for the new council and 1164 01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,520 Speaker 26: indeed for the new mayor is to win the trust 1165 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 26: of the public. To show the public that actually they're 1166 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 26: worthy of their votes, that they don't need commissioners, that 1167 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 26: you have functioning leadership at the head of your council, 1168 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 26: and to come out and say, yes, we know our 1169 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 26: city's facing all sorts of pressures at the moment. This 1170 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 26: is one relatively small, but a sacrifice none the less 1171 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,440 Speaker 26: that we are willing to make in order to make 1172 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 26: sure we're getting the very best value for Totung's ratepayers. 1173 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 26: I would have thought would be a really easy and 1174 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 26: people are going to look at that baseline number half 1175 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,440 Speaker 26: a million bucks of the next few years and recoil. 1176 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:10,040 Speaker 27: Yeah, And it's just it's utter arrogance from the sector. 1177 01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 27: And you know, we've got Local Government New Zealand currently 1178 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 27: doing a pr campaign that's encouraging Simon Watts, the new 1179 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 27: Minister of Local Government, to walk back on the on 1180 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 27: the Prime Minister's commitments around rates caps and they say, 1181 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,160 Speaker 27: you know, trust us, trust us. You know there's no money, 1182 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 27: there's no money, and then you see stories like this 1183 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 27: and worse, the the hypocrites like Marhi Drysdale who say 1184 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,280 Speaker 27: they believe in user pays except when it applies to them, 1185 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 27: apparently refusing to front. I just think that it's this 1186 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 27: is exactly why the government needs to hold firm on 1187 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 27: these rates caps and get local government back under control. 1188 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 3: We have one minute, Jack, I really want to quickly 1189 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 3: get to TAMOTHA Paul. Is she wrong in her criticisms 1190 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:57,840 Speaker 3: of police and those on the beach? 1191 01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:01,520 Speaker 26: Yes, yes, yes, of course is a classic example of 1192 01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,600 Speaker 26: politics in the bubble right. Like Timoth Paul speaking to 1193 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 26: her die hard supporters, I bet they lapped up every word. 1194 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 26: They would have absolutely loved it. But for all of 1195 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,640 Speaker 26: those voters out there who might one day be considering 1196 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 26: voting for the Greens, they'll hear those comments and go, 1197 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 26: you know what, These are totally devoid from reality. Maybe 1198 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 26: for a tiny sliver of people they feel nervous seeing 1199 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,000 Speaker 26: police on the beat, but I think for the vast 1200 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 26: majority of New Zealand, more police, more visible, makes them 1201 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:28,280 Speaker 26: feel more safe. 1202 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 3: And the evidence for an evidence based party, they didn't 1203 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 3: look very hard for the evidence because they would have 1204 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 3: found that there was a five and a half percent 1205 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,600 Speaker 3: drop on the place and Wellington where the beats were 1206 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:38,760 Speaker 3: happening in Jordan, Yeah. 1207 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,880 Speaker 27: I mean these are not serious people. Are they to 1208 01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 27: suggest that police make people feel less safe? Look, as 1209 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,800 Speaker 27: we talked about a few weeks ago, the thing that 1210 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 27: does make you feel least safe in Wellington, it's apparently 1211 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,160 Speaker 27: Green Empeas they go around abusing people. You know, I 1212 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,320 Speaker 27: that's or another one who does feel unsafe around the 1213 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 27: police because she's getting arrested. I'm sorry for former Green Empea. 1214 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 2: This is not various. 1215 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 3: People, Jack Tame Jordan Williams on the huddle. Thanks guys. 1216 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 3: Seven away from six News Talk s EDB. 1217 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duplessy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1218 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,480 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talks EBB. 1219 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,280 Speaker 3: Five to six News Talks EDB. It's dry and Auckland 1220 01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 3: damn levels are down. So apparently at the moment sixty 1221 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,840 Speaker 3: one percent full. Normally at this time of year would 1222 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 3: be at seventy five percent. What does all this mean? Well, 1223 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 3: you could have water restrictions in the biggest city in 1224 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 3: the country by May, which is way earlier than usual. 1225 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,880 Speaker 3: What is the problem, well it's dry. That means the 1226 01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:40,280 Speaker 3: dams don't feel but it also means that we use 1227 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,160 Speaker 3: more water, and we're currently using four hundred and eighty 1228 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 3: million liters every day, so we might have to pull 1229 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,320 Speaker 3: back in May as a result of us using more. 1230 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,840 Speaker 3: Now just gone four minutes away from. 1231 01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 2: Six o'clock, Ryan Bread, Now. 1232 01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 3: Torpedo seven. We're going to talk about them after six 1233 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 3: o'clock because they are closing two stores. They're converting the 1234 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:06,360 Speaker 3: majority of the remaining stores to what they're calling the outlet. 1235 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 3: So the Torpedo seven brand will be gone from a 1236 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 3: lot of stores, and the outlet to me, sounds a 1237 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 3: little cheaper and it sounds like it will be for 1238 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 3: your consumers as well. They have said in their release 1239 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 3: Torpedo seven they'll be bringing quote even more value to customers. 1240 01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,919 Speaker 3: So does that mean cheaper prices at the outlet, which 1241 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,080 Speaker 3: will be outside of those flagships, outside the cities where 1242 01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 3: those flagship Torpedo seven stores are. Help will talk to them, 1243 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 3: the owners of Torpedo seven and the outlet after six 1244 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:41,120 Speaker 3: here on news talks. 1245 01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 9: He'd be. 1246 01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:22,760 Speaker 1: Where business meets insight the business hours with Ryan Bridge 1247 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 1: and Mayor's Insurance and Investments grow your wealth, protect your 1248 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,360 Speaker 1: future newstalks b Good evening. 1249 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 3: It is seven alfter six.

I have never asked. And 1254 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,120 Speaker 3: also before the end of the hour, we're going to 1255 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:53,000 Speaker 3: get to this idea of not absenteeism but presentism and 1256 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,600 Speaker 3: how much that could be costing you and your business. 1257 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 3: It's all ahead on the Business hour seven after six. 1258 01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 3: Now the new owners Torpedo seven have announced their plans 1259 01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 3: for the remaining sixteen stores across the country. Tahua Group 1260 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,960 Speaker 3: have bought Torpedo seven off the Warehouse Group for a 1261 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 3: dollar last year. You remember that the six marquee Torpedo 1262 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 3: seven stores will remain open, which is good for you 1263 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:21,040 Speaker 3: to know that Westgate locations will shut. But the interesting 1264 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:24,040 Speaker 3: part is what's happening to the other ten stores they'll 1265 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 3: rebrand is a new retail chain called The Outlet. Roger 1266 01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 3: Harper is the Tahua Group managing director. He's with me tonight. 1267 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 3: Roger Good evening. 1268 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,520 Speaker 28: Hi Roan, great to talk to you. 1269 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 3: Tell it what is the what's the cell here without 1270 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,120 Speaker 3: let why the rebrand? What's going on? 1271 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 28: Well, some time ago we saw what we thought was 1272 01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 28: a real gap in the market over here. Obviously we 1273 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 28: actually not the new owners. We bought Torpedo seven a 1274 01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:57,000 Speaker 28: year ago and you know we've been working to turn 1275 01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:00,240 Speaker 28: that business around, but we'd also seen a gap in 1276 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:05,440 Speaker 28: the market that we thought there was for outlet shopping, 1277 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 28: particularly in retail New Zealand. Now, if you think about 1278 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:13,720 Speaker 28: outlet shopping, everybody loves outlet shopping, opportunity for a treasure hunt, 1279 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,760 Speaker 28: to find a brand at a great price. And we 1280 01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 28: have outlet shopping in New Zealand. Think Dress Smart or 1281 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:25,920 Speaker 28: Manowa Bay that recently opened in Auckland. But what we're 1282 01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 28: trying to do and well, and outlet malls are massive 1283 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,600 Speaker 28: in Australia, off price retail massive overseas think TK and 1284 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 28: TJ Max in the US and the UK. But we're 1285 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,559 Speaker 28: going to try and put it all into one store 1286 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:44,000 Speaker 28: and take it to provincial New Zealand and some main 1287 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 28: centers as well. But you know, you can't stack an 1288 01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 28: outlet mall up in napier, but you can provide an 1289 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 28: amazing store with great brands at great prices. So we 1290 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:56,880 Speaker 28: think there's a opportunity there. 1291 01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,400 Speaker 3: What brands are we talking about and what how much 1292 01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 3: cheaper are we talking? 1293 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:06,559 Speaker 28: Well, you you name a brand, Ryan, and well where 1294 01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 28: where you know in the market. We'll be buying locally 1295 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 28: and buying from offshore, and we're hopeful of buying all 1296 01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 28: the big brands and apparel and footwear in particular, but 1297 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:23,439 Speaker 28: sports home a number of categories. It's all about getting 1298 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:28,320 Speaker 28: getting great deals. And and when you're talking what's it 1299 01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 28: going to be in terms of price, we're saying it's 1300 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:36,080 Speaker 28: going to be you know, fifty to seventy thirty to 1301 01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:37,360 Speaker 28: seventy percent of freetail. 1302 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,880 Speaker 3: I would say, okay, well this is I mean, if 1303 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,439 Speaker 3: you're listening in the regions, this will be very welcome news. 1304 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:47,120 Speaker 3: I would imagine what about the Torpedo seven stores that 1305 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:50,559 Speaker 3: you're keeping the flagship, the Marquee stores. You know, why 1306 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,840 Speaker 3: were you keen on picking up the brand and are 1307 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,240 Speaker 3: they still performing well? Obviously are and you're keeping them open. 1308 01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:02,200 Speaker 28: Yeah, Look, we were really keen on the brand. We 1309 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:06,200 Speaker 28: love the category. New Zealand Outdoors who wants to not 1310 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,759 Speaker 28: to love about the New Zealand Outdoors And the brand 1311 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:13,559 Speaker 28: was well known and well loved. It obviously was having 1312 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,120 Speaker 28: a lot of problems with its previous owner, but we 1313 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:21,600 Speaker 28: love a good turnaround and we saw a real opportunity 1314 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:26,160 Speaker 28: there to turn this business around. And it has scale. 1315 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,640 Speaker 28: It was a significant size business, so I think it 1316 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 28: when as previous owner had twenty four twenty five stores, 1317 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 28: they actually closed a few and we're basically looking for 1318 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 28: what is a sustainable model for that brand. It actually 1319 01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 28: started out over twenty years ago in Hamilton as a 1320 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 28: pure online play and we think, you know, retail channels 1321 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 28: have changed, but they haven't changed. We'd gone back to 1322 01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,760 Speaker 28: being more online having hero stores. It should be a 1323 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:03,519 Speaker 28: great experience in the flagship stores. They'll be well stopped, 1324 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:07,320 Speaker 28: have great product, great deals. But online is going to 1325 01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 28: be a major part of it is a major part 1326 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,240 Speaker 28: of this business and it's probably going to be a 1327 01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:16,080 Speaker 28: bigger part in the future. And the existing outlet stores 1328 01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 28: were still able to click and collect the product from 1329 01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 28: those stores. 1330 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 3: Are we still are we still as into the outdoors 1331 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,840 Speaker 3: as we as we always have been. I'm just looking 1332 01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:30,840 Speaker 3: at the Catman do result I mean a less than 1333 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:34,360 Speaker 3: stellar result from them today. Sort of sport outdoors. 1334 01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,680 Speaker 28: Yeah, no, I think we are. We love the outdoors 1335 01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 28: and as I said Watson, not to love about the 1336 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 28: New Zealand outdoors. I think what it's happened is it's 1337 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:49,759 Speaker 28: really gone through an unusual cycle because during the COVID period, 1338 01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,719 Speaker 28: everybody went out and bought a bike or a tent, 1339 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,760 Speaker 28: or a stand up paddle board or that sort of thing. 1340 01:11:55,920 --> 01:12:01,280 Speaker 28: So we had a massive binge over those COVID years 1341 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:05,720 Speaker 28: and the whole industry, including as you mentioned Katman do, 1342 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,160 Speaker 28: has suffered a bit of a hangover after that. I 1343 01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 28: think a lot of those business thought that it was 1344 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,799 Speaker 28: the new normal and when stopped up thinking that business 1345 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,880 Speaker 28: was going to carry on at that level, and it didn't. 1346 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,040 Speaker 3: But it'll come back. 1347 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,880 Speaker 28: It'll go through a cycle. As I say, you know, 1348 01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:27,240 Speaker 28: people end up buying new tent, they'll end up buying 1349 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:31,880 Speaker 28: a bicycle, a snowboard. You know, these things will come 1350 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:32,439 Speaker 28: back again. 1351 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,000 Speaker 3: Roger, great to have you on the show.

There 1363 01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:16,000 Speaker 3: are now calls for the government to expand the sweeteners 1364 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,800 Speaker 3: that they've offered to foreigners coming here and offer them 1365 01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:21,639 Speaker 3: to us.

The government's trying to attract here. We 1394 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,040 Speaker 3: spoke about this a couple of weeks back. Jane Chips 1395 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 3: Trainee is The Herald's Wellington Business editor, Wellington Business Editor 1396 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,720 Speaker 3: and she's with me tonight. Hi Jane, Hi, right, good 1397 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,000 Speaker 3: to have you back. So give us an idea of 1398 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,240 Speaker 3: what we're talking about here. Remind us it's the fifth 1399 01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,439 Speaker 3: rules of Foreign Investment Fund rules. Who do they apply 1400 01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:07,000 Speaker 3: to currently? What's the deal? 1401 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 16: Right? 1402 01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 20: So currently they these tax rules are basically aimed at 1403 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,679 Speaker 20: incentivizing investment in New Zealand assets in the share market, 1404 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:21,320 Speaker 20: so on that it's a good sort of principle. A 1405 01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,720 Speaker 20: quirk of the rules though, is that for is that 1406 01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:29,679 Speaker 20: they treat investments that New Zealanders have offshore slightly differently 1407 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 20: to the way they treat investments that you have locally. Now, 1408 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,799 Speaker 20: that's only for investments worth more than fifty thousand dollars. 1409 01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,720 Speaker 20: So if you have more than fifty thousand dollars in 1410 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:43,920 Speaker 20: shares invested in the US or you know, other sorts 1411 01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:47,640 Speaker 20: of investments, you fall under this tax regime, which is 1412 01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:51,040 Speaker 20: different to the regime that you'd fall under if you 1413 01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 20: had shares invested in the New Zealand Stock Exchange, or 1414 01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,400 Speaker 20: if you had shares invested through your key we Saber fund. 1415 01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,759 Speaker 20: That's that's probably that's a pie fund. So that's a structure. 1416 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 20: So Charez's, which is an investment platform, has raised the 1417 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 20: point that actually this gets awfully complicated for people regular 1418 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,680 Speaker 20: kiwis who it's quite you know, you don't have to 1419 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,960 Speaker 20: be super wealthy to have more than fifty thousand dollars 1420 01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:21,400 Speaker 20: invested offshore. It gets super complicated at tax time because 1421 01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:25,160 Speaker 20: you have to navigate potentially two different tax systems. You 1422 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,680 Speaker 20: have to figure out, firstly, do you have more than 1423 01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,719 Speaker 20: fifty thousand dollars invested offshore in the sorts of assets 1424 01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,920 Speaker 20: that fall under this regime, and then if yes, you 1425 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 20: have to go through a few more hoops and hurdles 1426 01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:42,200 Speaker 20: to satisfy the ID. So this has been a long 1427 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 20: standing problem. The thing is is that that fifty thousand 1428 01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 20: dollars threshold hasn't been changed in more than twenty five years. 1429 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 20: So back in the day when it was introduced, fifty 1430 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,479 Speaker 20: thousand dollars was a lot of money. It's still a lot, 1431 01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:58,920 Speaker 20: but perhaps not quite as much as it used to be. 1432 01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,320 Speaker 3: Interesting, so, do you think the government's actually going to 1433 01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 3: pick this up and change it because presumably it will 1434 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:06,719 Speaker 3: cost them something. 1435 01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,599 Speaker 20: Well, yeah, that's the thing. So I took to Revenue 1436 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,960 Speaker 20: Minister Simon Watts yesterday and he said he was open 1437 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:21,120 Speaker 20: to changing that fifty thousand dollars threshold. Basically, it would 1438 01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 20: just ease the administrative burden on New Zealand investors. It 1439 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,519 Speaker 20: would mean that you know, you don't have to go 1440 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,720 Speaker 20: through your investments and figure out well, what falls under 1441 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:34,519 Speaker 20: this regime and what falls under that regime, and you know, 1442 01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,760 Speaker 20: you could set it at a higher level and still 1443 01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:42,120 Speaker 20: incentivize domestic investment or investment through pithon. So that's a 1444 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 20: certain type of structure. You can still invest in off 1445 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,639 Speaker 20: short assets, but if you do it through the certain 1446 01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,840 Speaker 20: pithon structure, then that's fine. Now, the reason this has 1447 01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:56,080 Speaker 20: all come up in the news is because Simon Watts 1448 01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 20: earlier this month said that he planned to make changes 1449 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:02,440 Speaker 20: to these rus but only in a way that benefited 1450 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 20: foreigners and not in a way that benefits you and 1451 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,920 Speaker 20: I or regular New Zealanders. So I guess the fact 1452 01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:12,799 Speaker 20: that he is looking at these rules in the context 1453 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 20: of attracting wealthy New Zealanders to New Zealand means that, 1454 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,679 Speaker 20: you know, it is putting the issue on the agenda, 1455 01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:23,680 Speaker 20: and it is putting it on the table. I think 1456 01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:25,800 Speaker 20: it also sort of fits into the broader thing that 1457 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,679 Speaker 20: the government's trying to do in terms of encouraging people 1458 01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 20: to save and invest for their retirements. A lot of 1459 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,400 Speaker 20: young people might get to retirement without owning a home, 1460 01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:39,120 Speaker 20: so you know the investments that they have in shares 1461 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,920 Speaker 20: are probably increasingly important for their well beings. 1462 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:48,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, fascinating stuff. Hopefully the foreigners and the exemption there 1463 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,120 Speaker 3: will have opened the door for the rest of us. 1464 01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,240 Speaker 3: Jane Tips Trainey, the Herald Wellington Business editor, with US 1465 01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:56,280 Speaker 3: twenty two minutes after six. Carol has chexted in the 1466 01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:59,439 Speaker 3: show about I just mentioned earlier that we've got a well, 1467 01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:03,400 Speaker 3: it's dry Auckland. We're at sixty one percent of capacity 1468 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,120 Speaker 3: in the dams when it's normally as seventy five percent. 1469 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,639 Speaker 3: Carol says evening. We farm in the North Waikato, also 1470 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:12,360 Speaker 3: very dry here. Our house is on tank water. We 1471 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 3: have been careful with our water for the last two months. 1472 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 3: Definitely not taking rain in the summer is a given. 1473 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,479 Speaker 3: Fortunately we've got two excellent balls on our supply. They 1474 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,360 Speaker 3: stock are currently adding silas now though as it's too 1475 01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 3: dry to grow much grass. Thought you might enjoy a 1476 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,719 Speaker 3: real prospective A country perspective enjoy your show. Regards.

And 1478 01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,240 Speaker 3: also I do think there's a weird you know, we 1479 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 3: might be having restrictions on water in May. I do 1480 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,040 Speaker 3: think there's something weird that we don't have them now. 1481 01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,120 Speaker 3: I mean, they know we're going to need them later 1482 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,920 Speaker 3: and while it's dry and people are kind of, you know, 1483 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,760 Speaker 3: aware of that. I mean, once it starts raining, you 1484 01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,960 Speaker 3: feel like, why do you need to save water? You know, 1485 01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,120 Speaker 3: Carol's got it. She's already saving water. She's been saving 1486 01:19:56,120 --> 01:20:00,280 Speaker 3: water all summer. Twenty three minutes after Sex News Talks B. 1487 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 3: We'll get to Milford's market update next. 1488 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 1: Everything from SMS to the big corporates, The Business Hour 1489 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:12,040 Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and Plans, Insurance and Investments, Grew your Wealth, 1490 01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,640 Speaker 1: Protect Your Future News Talks V twenty. 1491 01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,439 Speaker 3: Six halfter Sex News Talks, there'd be time to have 1492 01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,240 Speaker 3: a look at the markets now. Jeremy hasn't from Milford 1493 01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 3: Asset Management with me. Jeremy, Good evening evening, right, Yeah, 1494 01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:27,400 Speaker 3: good to have you back. KMD Brands released their half 1495 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 3: year financial results today. Stock has had a torrid few weeks. 1496 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:33,400 Speaker 3: What are investors buying into here? 1497 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,880 Speaker 29: Yeah, KMD brands had their numbers out today and just 1498 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,879 Speaker 29: remember that this is looking back six months into the 1499 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,840 Speaker 29: last half of twenty twenty four, but it is over 1500 01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:47,840 Speaker 29: the very important Christmas and New Year spend period for retailers. 1501 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,479 Speaker 29: And will also a quick reminder on the brands in KMD. 1502 01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,759 Speaker 29: So the very well known Catman Do a power brand, 1503 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,640 Speaker 29: and then it's also got Ripkel, which is a very 1504 01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:01,120 Speaker 29: important surf brand as well. But you're right, the business 1505 01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:03,759 Speaker 29: has had a torrid time, particularly over the past few years. 1506 01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,479 Speaker 29: The share price is down seventy seven percent since the 1507 01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:11,200 Speaker 29: peak in November twenty twenty one, and that's largely been 1508 01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,680 Speaker 29: tracking sales down and profits down across all their brands. 1509 01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:19,439 Speaker 29: So investors here are really backing a cyclical retail recovery story, 1510 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:21,760 Speaker 29: but it will take a few years to come to 1511 01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:22,240 Speaker 29: a fruition. 1512 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,320 Speaker 3: But finally, I guess some sales improvements that would make 1513 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:27,960 Speaker 3: some retailers pretty happy. 1514 01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,120 Speaker 29: Yeah, importantly in the update today, they always provide some 1515 01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:36,600 Speaker 29: directional trends in sales and they have been improving. And 1516 01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:39,240 Speaker 29: then finally in the last quarter of twenty twenty four, 1517 01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:42,839 Speaker 29: both the important brands Catmen Do and rip Curl reported 1518 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:46,600 Speaker 29: positive sales growth again versus the Pride period and this 1519 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,479 Speaker 29: was the first time that we'd seen positive sales growth 1520 01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,519 Speaker 29: in over two years. So really good to see and 1521 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:55,679 Speaker 29: perhaps the start of the turnaround story for KMD brands. 1522 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's hope. So Jeremy, thank you very much for 1523 01:21:57,680 --> 01:21:59,639 Speaker 3: that up there. I appreciate your time.

We'll get to Gavin Graham in the UK 1539 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,479 Speaker 3: before top of the the prison striker is over for 1540 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 3: Dean Wickliffe. This is the notorious criminal New s Ouland, 1541 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,479 Speaker 3: criminal who's been on a hunger strike for what is 1542 01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:18,439 Speaker 3: it now, in more than two weeks. He's seventy seven. 1543 01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:23,800 Speaker 3: He's out of jail. He's been released from prison effective immediately. 1544 01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 3: He appeared before the parole boards this afternoon and the 1545 01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 3: board said, because remember the reason he was recalled to 1546 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,720 Speaker 3: prison in the first place is and he's in and 1547 01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,479 Speaker 3: out of prison his whole life essentially, But he was 1548 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 3: recalled to prison in the first place because he breached 1549 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:43,200 Speaker 3: parole because he was not living at the address that 1550 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:45,840 Speaker 3: he was paroled too. He was living in his car 1551 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:50,679 Speaker 3: on March the fifth. So the Parole Board has seen 1552 01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:54,640 Speaker 3: him this afternoon. They have determined that that was the 1553 01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:59,440 Speaker 3: right decision, but they have also exercised their quote discretion 1554 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 3: to order his release. The board considered mister Wickcliff's accommodation 1555 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:08,639 Speaker 3: and support proposal adequately addressed the risk. So he's out 1556 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:14,280 Speaker 3: and presumably enjoying a meal twenty three minutes away from seven. 1557 01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:14,519 Speaker 2: Now. 1558 01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:19,000 Speaker 3: This story from HSBC, and it's worth paying attention to 1559 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:21,479 Speaker 3: HSBC because not only are they one of the top 1560 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,439 Speaker 3: ten banks in the world, but they are also the 1561 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 3: top bank for funding trade. Sir Mark Taylor, sorry, Sir 1562 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,800 Speaker 3: Mark Tucker is the chair of HSBC. He's given a 1563 01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 3: speech at the investment summit in Hong Kong that the 1564 01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,040 Speaker 3: HSP has been holding, and he says some really interesting stuff. 1565 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:43,599 Speaker 3: He says globalization may have run its course. Big call 1566 01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,720 Speaker 3: to make, I know, But he says, you add tariffs 1567 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:51,519 Speaker 3: and geopolitical tensions together and you get basically separation of 1568 01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:55,480 Speaker 3: the world. To quote him. As we consider present developments, 1569 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:59,160 Speaker 3: we believe that globalization as we know it may now 1570 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:04,639 Speaker 3: have run its core economic considerations. Guiding optimally efficient supply 1571 01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,920 Speaker 3: chains led to one of the world's greatest periods of 1572 01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:11,400 Speaker 3: wealth creation. We have ever seen the balance of economic 1573 01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:14,479 Speaker 3: power changed as a result, and what used to be 1574 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:20,200 Speaker 3: sustainable no longer is. He says. Now smaller blocks will emerge, 1575 01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:25,040 Speaker 3: Smaller trading blocks, political groupings, and trade blocks is what 1576 01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,360 Speaker 3: he calls them, as opposed to what we've been enjoying 1577 01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:31,479 Speaker 3: for the last few decades. Globalization twenty two to seven 1578 01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 3: Bridge looks like you're not doing your boss any favor. 1579 01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:39,879 Speaker 3: By going to work while you're unwell. Umbrella Wellbeing Reckons. 1580 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:42,600 Speaker 3: Businesses are losing billions of dollars a year due to 1581 01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,839 Speaker 3: workers pushing through while they're physically or mentally unwell. Umbrella 1582 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,519 Speaker 3: principal psychologist doctor Dourgal Sutherland is with me Hi Dogle. 1583 01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:52,679 Speaker 3: How are you good, evening, Ryan? 1584 01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:53,519 Speaker 29: I'm well, thank you. 1585 01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,160 Speaker 3: Good to have you on the show. So you're calling 1586 01:25:56,200 --> 01:26:00,680 Speaker 3: this presenteeism as opposed to absenteeism, what is it? 1587 01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:05,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, Look, absenteeism is where people are absent from the 1588 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 5: workplace because they're sick, easy to count noticeable. Presenteeism is 1589 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:14,639 Speaker 5: when people are physically present in the workplace but they 1590 01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:18,720 Speaker 5: are not performing at their full level of productivity. And 1591 01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:22,120 Speaker 5: we would say that that's at least a third or 1592 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 5: more decline in productivity. So you're sitting at your desk, 1593 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:30,200 Speaker 5: but you're really mentally kind of not fully there, so 1594 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 5: you're not able to work to your full capacity. And 1595 01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,679 Speaker 5: we think it's a very hidden cost for employers because 1596 01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,120 Speaker 5: it's very hard to count. But as you say that, 1597 01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:42,160 Speaker 5: you know, an estimate is that it's costing over forty 1598 01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:46,560 Speaker 5: billion dollars in lost productivity every year to new Zealand. 1599 01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,920 Speaker 3: Where's that estimate come from. 1600 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:54,160 Speaker 5: Look, it's it's based on some averages. So people saying, look, 1601 01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 5: thirty if we go on the idea that thirty three 1602 01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:02,240 Speaker 5: percent less productivity, and that average is out at about 1603 01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:06,920 Speaker 5: two thousand dollars per worker in lost productivity per month. 1604 01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,120 Speaker 5: So this is people saying that I lose about six 1605 01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:12,800 Speaker 5: days per month, and then if you average that out 1606 01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:16,120 Speaker 5: across the entire population. So look, it's a big estimate. 1607 01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,360 Speaker 5: And we're wanting to spark a conversation about this because 1608 01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:22,920 Speaker 5: there's not a lot of good research around us. So 1609 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 5: it's a first attempt at trying to get some numbers 1610 01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 5: on this particular phenomena. We know this phenomena occurs, there's 1611 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,439 Speaker 5: lots of research internationally that shows it, and so we're 1612 01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,920 Speaker 5: trying to somehow put some figures on this. 1613 01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough, let's put the physical ailments to a 1614 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,400 Speaker 3: side for a second, just talk focus on the psychological 1615 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,760 Speaker 3: Are you not better off being at work? I mean 1616 01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:48,920 Speaker 3: even if you're not from and this is from the 1617 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,720 Speaker 3: individual's perspective, not the companies, but are you not better 1618 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:54,599 Speaker 3: off being at work if you're feeling down depressed? Maybe 1619 01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:56,880 Speaker 3: not one hundred percent. Are you not better off being 1620 01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:58,960 Speaker 3: around people rather than ourt home moping? 1621 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 5: There is certainly an argument, and we were sort of 1622 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:09,559 Speaker 5: distinguished between different types of presenteeism. So there are types 1623 01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 5: of presenteeism when yes, it's probably useful for you to 1624 01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:16,760 Speaker 5: be at work. But I think the key thing is 1625 01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:21,120 Speaker 5: acknowledging that that's actually going on. The big cost here 1626 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,160 Speaker 5: is when it's hidden, when the manager, the boss, the 1627 01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:28,960 Speaker 5: organization doesn't know it's happening, and the person is there 1628 01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:33,120 Speaker 5: pretending almost to work, and then the organization scratching it 1629 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,240 Speaker 5: to here, going, gee, why aren't we as productive as 1630 01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,960 Speaker 5: we usually are? We already know that New Zealand is 1631 01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,600 Speaker 5: one of the least productive countries in the OECD, and 1632 01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:43,000 Speaker 5: we scratch our heads, going. 1633 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:43,760 Speaker 7: I wonder why that is? 1634 01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:47,120 Speaker 5: Because we work longer hours in many other countries in 1635 01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:50,240 Speaker 5: the OECD. And maybe this is part of it, that 1636 01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:53,600 Speaker 5: actually we're working longer but not doing a heck of 1637 01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 5: a lot. 1638 01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 3: May what's the I guess, what's the alternative for the 1639 01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:00,679 Speaker 3: for the manager or the business owner, you know, having 1640 01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:03,880 Speaker 3: that person not be at work, which would which would 1641 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,840 Speaker 3: be even less productive? Well, you know, well, how many 1642 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,479 Speaker 3: days I mean six days. You mentioned six days per month. 1643 01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:13,760 Speaker 3: That's that's a lot of time off. 1644 01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,800 Speaker 5: So it's about how we structure that work. I heard 1645 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 5: somebody today say, hey, I do this all the time 1646 01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 5: because I'm the only person in my job or in 1647 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,760 Speaker 5: my organization that can do my particular job, so I 1648 01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 5: have to work well. That smacks to me of a 1649 01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:34,320 Speaker 5: job that isn't well designed because there's no redundancy. There's 1650 01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:37,599 Speaker 5: no backup in that job. So you're relying on one 1651 01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,720 Speaker 5: single person. Now that person is there and you think, oh, 1652 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 5: we must be doing well. Actually they could be functioning 1653 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:48,280 Speaker 5: at thirty three percent less or even worse in their productivity. 1654 01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,920 Speaker 5: So organizations and businesses need to look at we're kind 1655 01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 5: of fooling ourselves. We think that because somebody is physically 1656 01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:58,920 Speaker 5: present in the workplace, they must be working. And I 1657 01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 5: think that's why we've seeing this as a hidden cost, 1658 01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,800 Speaker 5: because because we look we just look at the fact 1659 01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:06,559 Speaker 5: that somebody is sitting there or standing there in their job, 1660 01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:10,720 Speaker 5: and we think, therefore they must be producing. We think 1661 01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:14,080 Speaker 5: it's possibly cheaper if you're actually having some built in 1662 01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:15,640 Speaker 5: redundancies into your workplace. 1663 01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:19,880 Speaker 3: Interesting. Doctor Dougal Sutherland Umbrella principal psychologists. Really appreciate your 1664 01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,599 Speaker 3: time this evening, seventeen minutes away from seven. I guess 1665 01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:27,479 Speaker 3: there's some jobs and you've got a job where you 1666 01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:31,120 Speaker 3: cannot mark around. You know, you we would know very 1667 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:34,320 Speaker 3: quickly if you were not here one hundred percent of 1668 01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,040 Speaker 3: the time, you know, I mean, if your if your 1669 01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 3: mind was not one hundred percent go because you sorry, Roan, 1670 01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:42,200 Speaker 3: were you talking to me exactly exactly, we would it 1671 01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:44,200 Speaker 3: would become very apparent very quick. 1672 01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:44,439 Speaker 4: Now. 1673 01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 25: Anyone who listens to the show will know that we 1674 01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,320 Speaker 25: definitely never ever hear a sting played in the wrong 1675 01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:50,439 Speaker 25: place because I've never made a mistake. How many years 1676 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,200 Speaker 25: have I've been working on the show and not once? 1677 01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:57,840 Speaker 3: Had not often? Though not often? Thanks. I appreciate you know, 1678 01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 3: it should happen more often, I think, because you're only human, 1679 01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:03,320 Speaker 3: aren't you at the end of the day. But there 1680 01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,760 Speaker 3: are some jobs and people are texting in, you know, 1681 01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:08,240 Speaker 3: like council. If you're on the council or you work 1682 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,880 Speaker 3: for the council, you can probably mark around. Who would 1683 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,439 Speaker 3: really know that people work here? I don't. 1684 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:16,000 Speaker 25: Actually, I can probably contribute to this conversation in a 1685 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:18,519 Speaker 25: helpful way. Ryan and when during the pandemic, when I 1686 01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:20,360 Speaker 25: did have to isolate at home for a little bit 1687 01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:22,600 Speaker 25: with COVID nineteen, obviously couldn't do this job because I 1688 01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 25: have a physical desk in front of me that I 1689 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 25: need to touch to do it. But I was able 1690 01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:28,080 Speaker 25: to transfer to one of the other roles here that 1691 01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:31,400 Speaker 25: involves ringing people in organizing interviews. So it was harder 1692 01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:33,040 Speaker 25: to do that job from home when I didn't have 1693 01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,000 Speaker 25: all the resources I do in the office, but I 1694 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:36,920 Speaker 25: did still have a cell phone and a laptop, so 1695 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,559 Speaker 25: I could still do that. So there are some jobs that, yeah, 1696 01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:42,080 Speaker 25: you're right, you probably could do from home if you're sick, 1697 01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:42,759 Speaker 25: and maybe. 1698 01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:44,639 Speaker 3: Not as productive. But that job, so that you're talking 1699 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 3: about a producer, which is what Laura does, Laura who 1700 01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:52,840 Speaker 3: does not speak, that job, that job you could fudge, 1701 01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:54,320 Speaker 3: you know that that job you can. 1702 01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:57,800 Speaker 25: And to Doogle's point as well, I definitely wasn't a 1703 01:31:57,880 --> 01:31:59,560 Speaker 25: job I don't usually do, so there's no way I 1704 01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:00,559 Speaker 25: would have been as. 1705 01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:04,240 Speaker 3: So I guess the question for you at Heimers, what's 1706 01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,519 Speaker 3: the job that you I mean, what job do you 1707 01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:08,320 Speaker 3: have if you're one of these people who fudges your 1708 01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 3: way through life. You know, and you're you're six days 1709 01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,639 Speaker 3: per month, you're basically checked out your heads in vacation mode. 1710 01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:18,320 Speaker 3: What job is doing and please don't say bus driver? 1711 01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:22,599 Speaker 1: Accord to seven croaging the numbers and getting the results. 1712 01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:27,000 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Bridge with the Business hour and mass insurance 1713 01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:27,880 Speaker 1: and investments. 1714 01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:31,280 Speaker 2: Grew your wealth, Protect your future. News Talks EDB. 1715 01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:35,479 Speaker 3: Twelve minutes away from seven News Talks ZB. We'll get 1716 01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,840 Speaker 3: to your texts, some very funny ones on what you 1717 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,639 Speaker 3: can basically call in for a job in New Zealand. 1718 01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,280 Speaker 3: Right now we're going to the UK. Kevin Grays with Uskevin, 1719 01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 3: good evening to you, Good evening. Run Now you've got 1720 01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:50,760 Speaker 3: an update on the Heathrow airport fire. What was it 1721 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:55,040 Speaker 3: suspicious or not? No, please say it wasn't. 1722 01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:58,640 Speaker 30: The fire broke out on Friday and resulted in the 1723 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:03,599 Speaker 30: closure of Heathrow, up Europe's busiest airport, an estimated quarter 1724 01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:07,519 Speaker 30: of a million people affected and sixty three thousand homes 1725 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:10,519 Speaker 30: lost power in an outage caused by a far at 1726 01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:15,719 Speaker 30: a nearby electricity station or substation. We have since been 1727 01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,840 Speaker 30: told that actually Heathrow could have received its power from 1728 01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:22,760 Speaker 30: two other substations, but chose to shut down because it 1729 01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:25,639 Speaker 30: would take too long to close all the systems down 1730 01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,720 Speaker 30: and reboot them. So lots of people saying, well, hang 1731 01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,080 Speaker 30: on a minute, that's the whole point of a shutdown. 1732 01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:35,759 Speaker 30: And if you can't have a backup system without actually 1733 01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:37,960 Speaker 30: having to shut the whole thing down, then what's the point. 1734 01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:40,880 Speaker 30: This has been a big, big concern lots of the 1735 01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:44,639 Speaker 30: two investigations launched, one by the government and one by 1736 01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:47,320 Speaker 30: Heathrow Airport itself to answer some of these questions and 1737 01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:51,679 Speaker 30: about resilience of the major transport hub in question, and 1738 01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:56,519 Speaker 30: plenty of people not keen on Heathrow's response with such 1739 01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:58,880 Speaker 30: huge effects on people around the world. 1740 01:33:58,880 --> 01:33:59,360 Speaker 24: But yet the. 1741 01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:02,080 Speaker 30: Police now said no suspicious circumstances. 1742 01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:06,720 Speaker 3: Okay, interesting given the racial reason. A spring statement to 1743 01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:08,840 Speaker 3: the House of Commons. We're all looking forward to this 1744 01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:11,880 Speaker 3: because it's sort of like what is she going to cut? 1745 01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:14,160 Speaker 3: How deep is she going to go? It will include 1746 01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:15,840 Speaker 3: school lunches, what's on them menu? 1747 01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:20,639 Speaker 30: Yeah, and in nearly seven hours time or a little 1748 01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,200 Speaker 30: under seven hours time now we will find out. 1749 01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:24,679 Speaker 3: But it's not looking good. 1750 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 30: So there's a combination here of low economic growth and 1751 01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 30: higher interest rates on government borrowing and that's really been 1752 01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:34,800 Speaker 30: dealing a blow to the plans that had been made 1753 01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:37,720 Speaker 30: to the government because they're to their forecasts have been 1754 01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:40,440 Speaker 30: way too optimistic round about the state of the economy, 1755 01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:44,519 Speaker 30: and the government has set its non negotiable rules on 1756 01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:47,280 Speaker 30: borrowing and debt. This is they are not going to 1757 01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:49,800 Speaker 30: borrow to fund day to day public spending and to 1758 01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:52,839 Speaker 30: get government debt falling as a share of national income 1759 01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,840 Speaker 30: by the end of the parliament. If anything, though, that's 1760 01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:58,920 Speaker 30: going the wrong way, and so we believe there could 1761 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:02,200 Speaker 30: be more welfare cuts announced a little later. Already she's 1762 01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:05,200 Speaker 30: announced about twelve billion New Zealand dollars worth of cuts 1763 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 30: to welfare. She's also announced a fifteen percent cuts to 1764 01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:14,160 Speaker 30: civil servants, so there'll be massive amount of redundancies coming there. 1765 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,720 Speaker 30: But the forecasts were that the economy we'd grow by 1766 01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 30: two percent this year one point eight percent next year. 1767 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:21,200 Speaker 30: The Bank of England says it's going to be nearer 1768 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:24,240 Speaker 30: to one percent, and that means the little riggle room 1769 01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:27,400 Speaker 30: that she'd left herself in her early calculations has completely 1770 01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:30,000 Speaker 30: gone and so there is now going to have to 1771 01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:34,559 Speaker 30: be some massive changes that will result. Really I think 1772 01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:38,640 Speaker 30: in some problems for her. The government had pledged no 1773 01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:41,840 Speaker 30: increase to personal taxes, but now I think we're in 1774 01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:44,000 Speaker 30: a state where we may well. 1775 01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:44,920 Speaker 2: See a reversal of that. 1776 01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,840 Speaker 30: Maybe not this time around, but maybe there'd be a 1777 01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,880 Speaker 30: hint of it in this speech about what happens next 1778 01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:54,400 Speaker 30: time around in the autumn budget in about six months time. 1779 01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:56,600 Speaker 3: Okay, nice one. Givin, thank you very much for that. 1780 01:35:56,680 --> 01:36:00,000 Speaker 3: Givin Gray, a UK correspondent with US nine minutes away 1781 01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:01,880 Speaker 3: from seven.
