1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Barry soapas in your political correspondence with us.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Heather. What happened to that man? Lift the

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: with voice that you once had and trying to emilate me?

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you bloody know what happened to it?

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: Too much singing?

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: Okay, now, Donald Trump, what's going on here?

7
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we had the news earlier this week

8
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: that Trump had reversed the tariffs on beef and awful

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: and kiwi fruit, which is significant going into the United States,

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: and I hadn't heard Nikola Willis talk about it, but

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: Trump said he removed the parrot at the tariffs because,

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: of course grocery prices in the US were rising and

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: there was political pressure building on him from within. So

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: clearly the tariffs that were on these products, he decided,

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: if they're disadvantaging him, then he'll do away with him.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: And that was good news for New Zealand. The change

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: of heart by Trump has put an additional three hundred

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: and thirty million dollars a year into the pockets of

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: exporters and it's a bit of good news that I've

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: got to say. That put a smile on the Finance

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: Minister's face today.

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: These products represent around twenty five percent of our exports

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 3: to the United States, with approximately two point two one

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: billion dollars a year. The removal of these tariffs restores

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: pre Liberation Day access for exporters and provides some relief

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: for farmers, processes, and rural communities and the jobs that

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 3: they support. This is a positive step in the right

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: direction for free and competitive trade.

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: Let's hope it is applied to others before too long.

30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: Epstein papers that'll be interesting. I wonder how a bridged

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: they are when they finally come out.

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: You just can't let it go out. You can't get

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: through it without.

34
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: Discerning the wonderful president trade.

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: You just can't help yourself. Okay, Now, I mean, look,

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: it's clear that we're not going what are we at

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: six point eight percent of New Zealand's smoke We're supposed

38
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: to get to five percent, under five percent by the

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: end of the year. We're not going to, are we?

40
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: You all, five percent isnt smoke free, which I always

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: found incredible anyway that you know, you still had a

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: percentage of the population smoking. But nevertheless, I think it

43
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: is unlikely, clearly by the end of next month, that

44
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: we're going to be at five percent. The daily smoking rates, though,

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: have been falling, and if you look at the breakdown,

46
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: the numbers are really interesting. Women are not smoking as

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: much as men. Comes as a great surprise because clearly

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 2: it chose that women have got a bit more sense

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: for what their male counterparts have. But Sociate Health Minister

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: at Casey Castello Hoo was on her feet in Parliament

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: today delivering the good news on smoking until she met

52
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: the pot calling the kettle black confused. Well, have a listener,

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: you'll see what I mean.

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: The smoking rate for fifteen to twenty four year olds

55
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 4: is three point two percent, down from nineteen point one

56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: percent when the survey started. The speaker. At the broadest level,

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: smoking rates for those age between forty five and sixty

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: four remain persistently high. It takes time to shift the

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: behavior of people have been life long smokers.

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 5: The right Honorable Winston Peters. Has she seen that due

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: to the success of this program there is less tax

62
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 5: coming into the treasury of two hundred million And is

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 5: that going to the tobacco companies or is the explanation

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 5: behind that that someone who says that is an economic moron?

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: She said it, you're a more Mon turtle More. Hello,

66
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: that's enough to a very brief answer.

67
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: Mister speaker. Yes, we can confirm that there is no

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: tax breaks for those who understand the economy.

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: Mon Barrrie has a text views from Mike. When is

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600

00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: Isn't that wonderful? Yes, well it's coming up next year.

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: I've done the disdain passage. I wouldn't be interviewed for

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: David Cohen's book because it would take the gloss away

75
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: from my book. Honestly, what in us anyway?

76
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: You're just unbelievable. So the book is is because you

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: think people have only got enough money to buy one

78
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: or he got out first.

79
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: Well, I decided i'd to cover all the prime ministers.

Speaker 1: So there were written, is written, and it's going to

Speaker 2: It's out next year.

83
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: And you were lovely about Jessinda, weren't you.

84
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: Well, of course it was just like I am about

85
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: Donald thought. So yeah, there is why people have a

86
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: different view of me.

87
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,920
