So they currently the parking charges, I 155 00:07:06,373 --> 00:07:09,053 Speaker 3: should say the public parking charges are five dollars fifty 156 00:07:09,093 --> 00:07:11,813 Speaker 3: for fifteen minutes to an hour, eleven bucks from up 157 00:07:11,813 --> 00:07:14,253 Speaker 3: to two hours, seventeen bucks for three hours, twenty three 158 00:07:14,293 --> 00:07:16,973 Speaker 3: bucks for four hours, and twenty eight dollars fifty for 159 00:07:17,013 --> 00:07:17,813 Speaker 3: twenty four hours. 160 00:07:17,813 --> 00:07:22,213 Speaker 2: So that is among the most expensive parking in the country. 161 00:07:22,253 --> 00:07:24,933 Speaker 2: Does no one ever think when they're by a hospital 162 00:07:25,133 --> 00:07:27,453 Speaker 2: and you've got people that are coming in because they 163 00:07:27,453 --> 00:07:30,173 Speaker 2: are in bad situations in life, for people that they 164 00:07:30,213 --> 00:07:33,053 Speaker 2: love in bad situations in their life, do they ever 165 00:07:33,093 --> 00:07:36,453 Speaker 2: stop and think, maybe we shouldn't have the most or 166 00:07:36,493 --> 00:07:39,853 Speaker 2: one of the most expensive parking fees in the country. 167 00:07:40,333 --> 00:07:44,173 Speaker 2: I mean, surely that doesn't pass the moral sniff test. 168 00:07:45,573 --> 00:07:48,053 Speaker 2: I agree, I mean, don't get me started. I think 169 00:07:48,213 --> 00:07:52,733 Speaker 2: any charges in parking is theft on public land. If 170 00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:55,533 Speaker 2: it's public land and it's owned by the government, then 171 00:07:55,533 --> 00:07:57,533 Speaker 2: it's owned by the people. So charging the people to 172 00:07:57,573 --> 00:08:00,253 Speaker 2: park on things they already own, I think that's theft. 173 00:08:01,493 --> 00:08:06,413 Speaker 2: So I've got an extreme view on this, but charging 174 00:08:06,613 --> 00:08:09,933 Speaker 2: more than nearly anywhere else by the hospital is dirty. 175 00:08:09,653 --> 00:08:12,453 Speaker 3: Right, super dirty. So we can hear from you on 176 00:08:12,493 --> 00:08:14,973 Speaker 3: this hospital parking and the charges you have to pay, 177 00:08:15,053 --> 00:08:17,893 Speaker 3: because as we all know quite often when you're visiting 178 00:08:17,933 --> 00:08:19,293 Speaker 3: the hospital and you need to be there for a 179 00:08:19,293 --> 00:08:23,253 Speaker 3: certain amount of time, you're already fragile on an emotional level. 180 00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:27,453 Speaker 3: And then to be charged these crazy fees for parking 181 00:08:27,573 --> 00:08:30,933 Speaker 3: by a company that most of us would absolutely loathe, 182 00:08:30,973 --> 00:08:33,613 Speaker 3: who would think it absolutely bad operators in New Zealand 183 00:08:33,773 --> 00:08:35,293 Speaker 3: love to hear from you on oh, eight hundred and 184 00:08:35,333 --> 00:08:38,732 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty should there be free parking at our 185 00:08:38,773 --> 00:08:41,453 Speaker 3: hospitals around New Zealand? All right, talking free for all 186 00:08:41,612 --> 00:08:43,453 Speaker 3: that you go there and park as long as you like, 187 00:08:43,533 --> 00:08:46,333 Speaker 3: but a certain amount of time that is free for 188 00:08:46,372 --> 00:08:48,053 Speaker 3: most people to go to the hospital. 189 00:08:48,132 --> 00:08:53,492 Speaker 2: But Tyler, the opposing opinion is we get that infrastructure built, 190 00:08:53,693 --> 00:08:58,373 Speaker 2: and we need infrastructure built so people can actually park there. 191 00:08:58,773 --> 00:09:01,933 Speaker 2: And so Wilson come in, they make a deal and 192 00:09:01,973 --> 00:09:05,412 Speaker 2: they build the infrastructure and it doesn't cost us as 193 00:09:05,453 --> 00:09:08,052 Speaker 2: the taxpayer money, It only costs the people that go there. 194 00:09:08,093 --> 00:09:09,853 Speaker 2: That's the counter argument. There, you go there, I've given it. 195 00:09:10,173 --> 00:09:11,893 Speaker 3: Why can't we have a New Zealand operator? What does 196 00:09:11,933 --> 00:09:14,213 Speaker 3: it have to be Wilson? Why does Wilson get all 197 00:09:14,252 --> 00:09:16,173 Speaker 3: the car parking in New Zealand? We hate them. Oh, 198 00:09:16,173 --> 00:09:19,732 Speaker 3: eight hundred ten eighty is the number to call hospital parking. 199 00:09:19,732 --> 00:09:22,652 Speaker 3: Where do you sit on this one? Is it quite 200 00:09:22,653 --> 00:09:24,493 Speaker 3: cruel to be charging this sort of money? Or is 201 00:09:24,492 --> 00:09:27,772 Speaker 3: it fair enough to try and get more parking infrastructure 202 00:09:27,813 --> 00:09:29,933 Speaker 3: in place? It is fourteen past one and. 203 00:09:29,933 --> 00:09:33,333 Speaker 2: Are all parking charges, theft, the. 204 00:09:33,132 --> 00:09:37,093 Speaker 1: Big stories, the big issues, the big trends and everything 205 00:09:37,132 --> 00:09:37,652 Speaker 1: in between. 206 00:09:37,852 --> 00:09:40,772 Speaker 5: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks. 207 00:09:40,813 --> 00:09:43,933 Speaker 3: It'd be good afternoon seventeen past one. So there are 208 00:09:44,053 --> 00:09:47,973 Speaker 3: plans to potentially further involve private companies and hospital car parking. 209 00:09:48,533 --> 00:09:51,813 Speaker 3: It has alarmed some staff members at Middlemore Hospital. They 210 00:09:51,892 --> 00:09:55,733 Speaker 3: say patients often leave the ed because of unaffordable charges 211 00:09:55,773 --> 00:09:59,093 Speaker 3: enforced by Wilson Parking. The private car parking company manages 212 00:09:59,533 --> 00:10:03,453 Speaker 3: the Middlemore's car parking on behalf of ACC's investment fund. 213 00:10:03,492 --> 00:10:04,732 Speaker 3: But where do you sit on this when it comes 214 00:10:04,773 --> 00:10:09,173 Speaker 3: to hospital parking? So the Wilson's parking charges it's middle 215 00:10:09,173 --> 00:10:11,893 Speaker 3: More currently set at five dollars fifty for fifteen minutes 216 00:10:11,892 --> 00:10:13,933 Speaker 3: to an hour, eleven bucks for two hours, then all 217 00:10:13,973 --> 00:10:17,573 Speaker 3: the way up to almost thirty dollars for twenty four hours. 218 00:10:17,773 --> 00:10:20,213 Speaker 3: Is that daylight robbery, particularly for people who are in 219 00:10:20,252 --> 00:10:23,772 Speaker 3: a fragile mental state, as it is if they are 220 00:10:23,852 --> 00:10:26,413 Speaker 3: visiting family members or friends at the hospital. Oh, eight 221 00:10:26,533 --> 00:10:30,253 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty teen eighty is the number to call. Sharon. 222 00:10:31,852 --> 00:10:35,532 Speaker 3: You hi, your father had quite an awful experience when 223 00:10:35,533 --> 00:10:36,293 Speaker 3: it came to parking. 224 00:10:37,293 --> 00:10:38,252 Speaker 6: Yeah, go confortunate. 225 00:10:38,293 --> 00:10:41,333 Speaker 7: Egs passed now, as has my stepmother who at the 226 00:10:41,372 --> 00:10:44,293 Speaker 7: time was really ill at the hospital and you know, 227 00:10:44,372 --> 00:10:50,773 Speaker 7: they were teachers and had a cow park, you know, 228 00:10:50,813 --> 00:10:53,733 Speaker 7: just save the car parking past. But because he wasn't 229 00:10:53,773 --> 00:10:56,653 Speaker 7: mobile enough. But he actually I didn't realize at the time, 230 00:10:56,693 --> 00:10:59,213 Speaker 7: and when I did, I interpend. But he couldn't afford 231 00:10:59,252 --> 00:11:01,973 Speaker 7: to visit her every day because of the cost of parking. 232 00:11:02,012 --> 00:11:05,213 Speaker 7: You know, they're driving on their pensions and not any more, 233 00:11:05,732 --> 00:11:07,973 Speaker 7: you know, I mean South there's a catchment area for 234 00:11:08,012 --> 00:11:11,573 Speaker 7: some of them lower socioeconomic people in the country. 235 00:11:11,612 --> 00:11:13,053 Speaker 8: And it's really just extortion. 236 00:11:13,852 --> 00:11:17,173 Speaker 7: But you know that aside, it's the ultimate irony, isn't 237 00:11:17,213 --> 00:11:20,012 Speaker 7: it That Wilson might be the operators, But if what 238 00:11:20,093 --> 00:11:24,533 Speaker 7: you say about ACC being the actual ultibus owner of 239 00:11:24,573 --> 00:11:29,653 Speaker 7: the parting space and you know, licensing to operators, ACC 240 00:11:29,852 --> 00:11:33,213 Speaker 7: is a government controlled corporation one way or another, and 241 00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:36,813 Speaker 7: so they're extorting money from people, and yet they complain 242 00:11:37,252 --> 00:11:42,253 Speaker 7: and bone unmercifully about the supermarkets private sector extorting money 243 00:11:42,252 --> 00:11:44,693 Speaker 7: from people. So you know, there's a real irony there, 244 00:11:44,852 --> 00:11:47,893 Speaker 7: and that's not this government. It's been successive governments, right. 245 00:11:48,213 --> 00:11:48,413 Speaker 4: Yeah. 246 00:11:48,533 --> 00:11:52,013 Speaker 2: So ACC would push back and say they're making well. 247 00:11:52,012 --> 00:11:55,333 Speaker 2: Reportedly they made four million dollars a year from these 248 00:11:55,372 --> 00:11:58,573 Speaker 2: parking rights. That was as of twenty seventeen, so it 249 00:11:58,612 --> 00:12:00,893 Speaker 2: might have gone up in Sharon, So some of it's 250 00:12:00,933 --> 00:12:04,372 Speaker 2: going back into the ACC and paying for operations and 251 00:12:04,813 --> 00:12:08,852 Speaker 2: people that aren't aren't doing so well. So how do 252 00:12:08,892 --> 00:12:09,573 Speaker 2: you feel about that? 253 00:12:11,173 --> 00:12:13,813 Speaker 7: You know, four million dollars seems a very small amount, 254 00:12:13,852 --> 00:12:16,933 Speaker 7: So there's slice of the dice is pretty small compared 255 00:12:16,973 --> 00:12:20,373 Speaker 7: to their overall budget. Maybe there is a room for 256 00:12:20,413 --> 00:12:23,773 Speaker 7: them to just contract and provide the plating for free. 257 00:12:24,012 --> 00:12:25,773 Speaker 7: That would be the reasonable thing to do in a 258 00:12:25,773 --> 00:12:29,453 Speaker 7: place plate and you pass, in my view, and I'm 259 00:12:29,453 --> 00:12:30,573 Speaker 7: not a bleeding heart left. 260 00:12:33,132 --> 00:12:35,093 Speaker 2: Good on you, Sharon, and thank you for your call. 261 00:12:35,573 --> 00:12:39,213 Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Hey, the six says Matt. I could not 262 00:12:39,653 --> 00:12:44,813 Speaker 2: put it better. It's robbery, parking fines, robbery, the problem 263 00:12:44,852 --> 00:12:47,773 Speaker 2: with any parking people abuse it, e g. Park all 264 00:12:47,813 --> 00:12:50,492 Speaker 2: down the side street shopping areas and then they catch 265 00:12:50,533 --> 00:12:53,813 Speaker 2: public transport. I mean, this is a different issue, but 266 00:12:53,852 --> 00:12:56,253 Speaker 2: I would say when I argued before that parking on 267 00:12:56,293 --> 00:12:59,773 Speaker 2: the street is robbery. What I mean is that, and 268 00:12:59,773 --> 00:13:02,013 Speaker 2: people say, oh, people wouldn't move through if they do that, 269 00:13:02,053 --> 00:13:03,973 Speaker 2: And I think you should have a certain amount of 270 00:13:03,973 --> 00:13:06,973 Speaker 2: time that's free always and then if you want to 271 00:13:07,012 --> 00:13:09,773 Speaker 2: keep people moving through, the fine comes in. Once someone's 272 00:13:09,813 --> 00:13:11,813 Speaker 2: been there, you decide whether it's an hour or two hours, 273 00:13:11,813 --> 00:13:14,533 Speaker 2: the same way that a shopping mall works. And you know, 274 00:13:14,693 --> 00:13:16,413 Speaker 2: shopping malls are very busy, and one of the reasons 275 00:13:16,413 --> 00:13:17,853 Speaker 2: is because people can go and park in there for 276 00:13:17,852 --> 00:13:18,773 Speaker 2: free for a couple of hours. 277 00:13:18,813 --> 00:13:20,093 Speaker 3: Yeah right, It is a great point. 278 00:13:20,252 --> 00:13:22,852 Speaker 2: But we're actually talking specifically about the hospital and this 279 00:13:22,892 --> 00:13:25,172 Speaker 2: textas says, who cares how much rich Auckland does pay 280 00:13:25,213 --> 00:13:27,813 Speaker 2: for parking at their hospital? Dunedin doesn't even get to 281 00:13:27,852 --> 00:13:30,652 Speaker 2: have a hospital. We get nothing. You rich North Islanders 282 00:13:30,653 --> 00:13:33,013 Speaker 2: always complain and get everything. The Greens are coming for 283 00:13:33,053 --> 00:13:35,733 Speaker 2: your wealth and I couldn't be happier. Suffer says that texture. 284 00:13:35,933 --> 00:13:37,772 Speaker 2: I mean, you do have a hospital in Duneda, and 285 00:13:37,892 --> 00:13:40,252 Speaker 2: you are getting another hospital. It might not be the 286 00:13:40,293 --> 00:13:41,773 Speaker 2: hospital that you thought you were going to get. But 287 00:13:41,813 --> 00:13:44,773 Speaker 2: to say that you don't have a hospital lord as disingenuous. 288 00:13:44,213 --> 00:13:46,653 Speaker 3: Test and other green's really coming for us. You know 289 00:13:47,132 --> 00:13:48,813 Speaker 3: they're trying, but I don't know if that's ever going 290 00:13:48,852 --> 00:13:50,373 Speaker 3: to happen. But if you want to respond to that 291 00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:53,492 Speaker 3: text Auckland is then you're more than welcome. Oh eight 292 00:13:53,492 --> 00:13:55,453 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call, 293 00:13:55,533 --> 00:13:57,612 Speaker 3: just a quick text to here kidday guys. I work 294 00:13:57,653 --> 00:14:00,693 Speaker 3: at Auckland City Hospital and the parking is an absolute disaster, 295 00:14:00,813 --> 00:14:03,732 Speaker 3: constantly filling up and causing major gridlock in the area, 296 00:14:03,852 --> 00:14:06,852 Speaker 3: patients missing appointments, and staff being late for work left, 297 00:14:06,973 --> 00:14:10,693 Speaker 3: right and center. And this is with the exorbitant prices. 298 00:14:10,773 --> 00:14:14,453 Speaker 3: Now I hate Wilson etc. As much as the next person, 299 00:14:14,533 --> 00:14:16,852 Speaker 3: but imagine how bad it would be if it was free. 300 00:14:17,053 --> 00:14:19,173 Speaker 3: Oh so that took a turn right at the end. 301 00:14:19,373 --> 00:14:21,613 Speaker 2: Well, I guess the argument there is that Wilson have 302 00:14:21,653 --> 00:14:26,133 Speaker 2: invested in building a much bigger parking area than the 303 00:14:26,173 --> 00:14:28,613 Speaker 2: government was willing to put money into. And even though 304 00:14:28,613 --> 00:14:33,172 Speaker 2: we get rinsed to park there, which seems morally republic repugnant. 305 00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:37,533 Speaker 2: It's still there is more spaces for parking than there 306 00:14:37,533 --> 00:14:39,933 Speaker 2: would be, as would be the argument. But I guess 307 00:14:40,093 --> 00:14:42,253 Speaker 2: the pushback on that is it's one of the most 308 00:14:42,253 --> 00:14:45,773 Speaker 2: expensive car parks in the country. So when you're putting 309 00:14:45,973 --> 00:14:47,653 Speaker 2: one of the most expensive car parks in the country 310 00:14:47,693 --> 00:14:49,933 Speaker 2: beside a hospital, do you not lock in the full 311 00:14:50,013 --> 00:14:55,173 Speaker 2: length mirror and go analogy? I might not be the 312 00:14:55,253 --> 00:14:58,093 Speaker 2: one hundred percent good person hero in this story. 313 00:14:58,173 --> 00:15:00,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, keen to hear from you. One hundred and eighty 314 00:15:00,373 --> 00:15:02,933 Speaker 3: ten eighty is that number?

I intend to do suddenly 321 00:15:18,533 --> 00:15:20,293 Speaker 10: about it. I don't mind. I don't want to talk 322 00:15:20,293 --> 00:15:23,773 Speaker 10: about it on this program. Fair enough for this way 323 00:15:23,773 --> 00:15:26,613 Speaker 10: at the Select Committee and a very truncated process because 324 00:15:26,613 --> 00:15:29,213 Speaker 10: they wouldn't turn up the course enormous de days has 325 00:15:29,253 --> 00:15:31,333 Speaker 10: come to a decision that saw the house to endorse 326 00:15:31,333 --> 00:15:33,853 Speaker 10: it otherwise. And this idea of thos and hours and 327 00:15:33,893 --> 00:15:36,453 Speaker 10: days and days and weeks but everyone having a chance 328 00:15:36,493 --> 00:15:38,893 Speaker 10: of talking more than once and move a members is 329 00:15:39,293 --> 00:15:40,653 Speaker 10: in my view, painly wrong. 330 00:15:40,733 --> 00:15:42,293 Speaker 5: That's a part I want to go back. 331 00:15:42,373 --> 00:15:45,333 Speaker 2: Monday from six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast with the 332 00:15:45,413 --> 00:15:47,453 Speaker 2: Rain drove of the Larm News Talk ZB. 333 00:15:48,333 --> 00:15:50,613 Speaker 3: Good afternoon to you, and we're talking about the charges 334 00:15:50,773 --> 00:15:55,133 Speaker 3: at Middlemore Hospital. There are plans to involve private companies 335 00:15:55,213 --> 00:15:57,893 Speaker 3: in more hospital parking at Middlemore. That's alarmed some of 336 00:15:57,933 --> 00:15:59,853 Speaker 3: the staff is. But it's not just an issue for 337 00:15:59,933 --> 00:16:03,293 Speaker 3: Middlemore Hospital. Hospital parking is an issue up and down 338 00:16:03,333 --> 00:16:06,693 Speaker 3: the country. So keen to get your thoughts about the 339 00:16:06,853 --> 00:16:09,133 Speaker 3: cost of some of the hospital parking. To give you 340 00:16:09,133 --> 00:16:12,133 Speaker 3: an idea on what it costs at Middlewar Five dollars 341 00:16:12,173 --> 00:16:14,693 Speaker 3: fifty for fifteen minutes to an hour, eleven bucks for 342 00:16:14,733 --> 00:16:16,733 Speaker 3: two hours. It goes all the way up to almost 343 00:16:16,733 --> 00:16:18,373 Speaker 3: thirty bucks four to twenty four hours. 344 00:16:18,493 --> 00:16:21,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, and a fifty seven dollar lost ticket fee. But 345 00:16:22,253 --> 00:16:25,853 Speaker 2: five dollars fifteen hour. Come on, get out of there, dirty. 346 00:16:26,093 --> 00:16:27,853 Speaker 3: That's astly Yeah, I'm glad you said that. 347 00:16:28,813 --> 00:16:32,533 Speaker 2: Hey, Hello, chaps re Wilson Parking. My possible solution for 348 00:16:32,573 --> 00:16:35,333 Speaker 2: the discussion is they build the infrastructure and get eighty 349 00:16:35,373 --> 00:16:38,973 Speaker 2: percent of surplus profit until they recover cost plus say 350 00:16:39,013 --> 00:16:41,853 Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty cent margin, which is good return, and 351 00:16:41,893 --> 00:16:44,172 Speaker 2: the rest goes to the government for reinvestment into health. 352 00:16:44,413 --> 00:16:47,133 Speaker 2: But fees capped at fifteen dollars a day and thirty 353 00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:49,573 Speaker 2: minutes free for pickup and drop off. That seems like 354 00:16:49,613 --> 00:16:52,493 Speaker 2: a pretty logical, very reasonable capital price. And I'll be 355 00:16:52,493 --> 00:16:55,813 Speaker 2: interested to see because right now about four million dollars 356 00:16:55,853 --> 00:16:58,653 Speaker 2: a year as of twenty seventeen was going to acc 357 00:16:59,693 --> 00:17:03,173 Speaker 2: from this deal with Wilson Parking. But you would think 358 00:17:03,213 --> 00:17:05,413 Speaker 2: that a cap should be a part of it of 359 00:17:05,493 --> 00:17:07,693 Speaker 2: how much they can charge people, just morally when people 360 00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:09,493 Speaker 2: are going to hospital and if you've got situations like 361 00:17:09,493 --> 00:17:13,532 Speaker 2: this doctors saying where people aren't sticking around when they 362 00:17:13,573 --> 00:17:16,052 Speaker 2: need help because they can't afford the parking, that's a problem. 363 00:17:16,213 --> 00:17:18,493 Speaker 3: I get the argument that bringing in a private company, 364 00:17:18,493 --> 00:17:22,333 Speaker 3: even if it is Wilson Parking, helps to get more infrastructure, absolutely, 365 00:17:22,373 --> 00:17:25,893 Speaker 3: but is that not one of the things that we 366 00:17:25,933 --> 00:17:28,293 Speaker 3: would prefer the government to come in and just stump 367 00:17:28,373 --> 00:17:30,653 Speaker 3: up yes, it's going to cost them more even if 368 00:17:30,653 --> 00:17:34,293 Speaker 3: they subsidize that parking. You know, the Wilson's charge what 369 00:17:34,333 --> 00:17:36,693 Speaker 3: they like, and then the government comes in and subsidizes it, 370 00:17:36,733 --> 00:17:38,933 Speaker 3: so it's two bucks an hour instead of five dollars fifty? 371 00:17:39,253 --> 00:17:41,973 Speaker 3: Isn't that something we get behind? Then when you go 372 00:17:42,013 --> 00:17:44,013 Speaker 3: to a hospital, the last thing you want to do 373 00:17:44,533 --> 00:17:48,693 Speaker 3: is get fleeced by the dirty buggers Wilson parking, because 374 00:17:48,693 --> 00:17:52,493 Speaker 3: your family member is clearly not doing well if they 375 00:17:52,533 --> 00:17:53,453 Speaker 3: are in hospital. 376 00:17:53,653 --> 00:17:56,493 Speaker 2: But the counter that I pushed back on this one, Tyler, 377 00:17:57,253 --> 00:18:00,413 Speaker 2: is you're a big fan of PPEs, right, yeah, yeah, 378 00:18:00,453 --> 00:18:02,413 Speaker 2: Well this isn't that just a Ppe situation? 379 00:18:02,493 --> 00:18:06,573 Speaker 3: That PPP PPP. What I say, I like pe Ppe 380 00:18:06,853 --> 00:18:10,413 Speaker 3: is good project God. I just had a highrible COVID flashback. Sorry, Ppe, 381 00:18:11,013 --> 00:18:13,413 Speaker 3: I love God. We don't have to talk about punishing 382 00:18:13,413 --> 00:18:16,373 Speaker 3: Ppe anymore, an as much as an X man. But 383 00:18:16,413 --> 00:18:17,093 Speaker 3: the triple P. 384 00:18:17,293 --> 00:18:20,373 Speaker 2: Yeah absolutely, Actually, where is your mask? And how come 385 00:18:20,413 --> 00:18:24,133 Speaker 2: you're more more than three a meter closer to me? 386 00:18:24,573 --> 00:18:26,933 Speaker 2: By the way, PPP. The other day you're saying how 387 00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:30,973 Speaker 2: much you love you all over PPPs. Tyler, you're salivating 388 00:18:31,013 --> 00:18:34,173 Speaker 2: at PPPs, but surely getting Wilson to build your parking 389 00:18:34,693 --> 00:18:36,773 Speaker 2: building in front of your hospital until so we don't 390 00:18:36,773 --> 00:18:38,613 Speaker 2: have to stump up the money for the infrastructure and 391 00:18:38,653 --> 00:18:42,413 Speaker 2: then then making the money back through the parking. Isn't 392 00:18:42,413 --> 00:18:43,293 Speaker 2: that just a PPP? 393 00:18:43,893 --> 00:18:46,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point, right, what do you say? 394 00:18:46,293 --> 00:18:47,613 Speaker 3: I one hundred and eighty ten eight. I've got to 395 00:18:47,613 --> 00:18:49,453 Speaker 3: ever think about that just for a couple of minutes 396 00:18:49,493 --> 00:18:51,893 Speaker 3: until I have a retort. But in the meantime, Kai, 397 00:18:52,893 --> 00:18:54,253 Speaker 3: you want to have a chet you know, mate, you 398 00:18:54,293 --> 00:18:55,453 Speaker 3: want to have a chet about christ Jitch. 399 00:18:56,453 --> 00:18:57,493 Speaker 8: Yeah, I do. 400 00:18:57,293 --> 00:18:57,453 Speaker 3: I do. 401 00:18:57,853 --> 00:19:01,013 Speaker 9: I really feel for Auckland Christ Hutch Is not that 402 00:19:01,253 --> 00:19:04,093 Speaker 9: just similar that if you've been to the A and 403 00:19:04,133 --> 00:19:06,253 Speaker 9: E Department. I was there the other day with somebody 404 00:19:06,453 --> 00:19:11,333 Speaker 9: and outside A and E it's a new hospital outside 405 00:19:11,373 --> 00:19:15,613 Speaker 9: an that would be lucky if there was fifty car parks. Yeah, yeah, 406 00:19:16,773 --> 00:19:21,213 Speaker 9: I mean that's absolutely ridiculous considering staffed the earthquakes, we 407 00:19:21,333 --> 00:19:26,333 Speaker 9: had half of christ Hues in car parks. And you know, 408 00:19:26,973 --> 00:19:30,373 Speaker 9: the councils and the governments don't look at people as 409 00:19:31,813 --> 00:19:33,733 Speaker 9: they look at them as cash cows, don't look at 410 00:19:33,733 --> 00:19:36,373 Speaker 9: them as let's let's bring people into the CBD of 411 00:19:36,453 --> 00:19:39,013 Speaker 9: christ Huts. Let's get people going again in the city 412 00:19:39,013 --> 00:19:41,773 Speaker 9: because it needs it and to pay for parking, and 413 00:19:41,853 --> 00:19:46,653 Speaker 9: especially Wilson's who stiffy more than the council do. It's 414 00:19:46,733 --> 00:19:50,973 Speaker 9: just it's disgusting. Christ Each has turned into a city 415 00:19:50,973 --> 00:19:53,253 Speaker 9: where you can't get into unless you use an uber 416 00:19:53,453 --> 00:19:57,333 Speaker 9: or you've got an electric bike. Considering the fact that 417 00:19:57,373 --> 00:19:59,053 Speaker 9: we had a lot of car parks. 418 00:19:59,653 --> 00:20:00,293 Speaker 11: I look at the. 419 00:20:02,413 --> 00:20:06,053 Speaker 9: Evening stuff in christ Huts. You've got the court theaters 420 00:20:06,093 --> 00:20:08,773 Speaker 9: just started. We've got the Theater Royal next store. We've 421 00:20:08,773 --> 00:20:11,693 Speaker 9: got the library officite there, we've got the Piano which 422 00:20:11,733 --> 00:20:14,853 Speaker 9: is just one block away. You've got the Convention Center, 423 00:20:14,893 --> 00:20:17,413 Speaker 9: and you've got the town Hall and now next year 424 00:20:17,453 --> 00:20:18,733 Speaker 9: you've got the Rugby Stadium. 425 00:20:19,053 --> 00:20:21,173 Speaker 8: So there's seven, seven. 426 00:20:21,173 --> 00:20:23,693 Speaker 9: Massive venues that are going to bring people into the 427 00:20:23,733 --> 00:20:26,213 Speaker 9: city where they're going to park. 428 00:20:26,373 --> 00:20:28,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I mean christ Church is a basket 429 00:20:29,013 --> 00:20:31,292 Speaker 3: a basket case when it comes to parking and all 430 00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:33,573 Speaker 3: that plavacain. I know this is taken a bit broad, 431 00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:37,493 Speaker 3: but I always think, just get some park, car park 432 00:20:37,493 --> 00:20:38,253 Speaker 3: in Hagley Park. 433 00:20:38,333 --> 00:20:40,413 Speaker 2: Well, we know what it is, don't we. It's push politics. 434 00:20:40,613 --> 00:20:42,933 Speaker 2: So what it is is the people that make these 435 00:20:42,933 --> 00:20:46,813 Speaker 2: decisions are anti car and anti transport, you know, anti 436 00:20:47,253 --> 00:20:51,693 Speaker 2: individual transport. They want people in public transport. So they 437 00:20:51,013 --> 00:20:53,973 Speaker 2: make these decisions not for the good of the businesses, 438 00:20:54,053 --> 00:20:56,013 Speaker 2: not good for the city. It's for their belief that 439 00:20:56,013 --> 00:20:59,813 Speaker 2: people shouldn't be in cars. And they've been caught admitting 440 00:20:59,813 --> 00:21:02,973 Speaker 2: that it's push politics. So it's terrible. I tried to 441 00:21:03,533 --> 00:21:05,253 Speaker 2: in Auckland. It's the same. You want to try to 442 00:21:05,293 --> 00:21:07,453 Speaker 2: go anywhere near K Road or the town or the 443 00:21:07,493 --> 00:21:10,693 Speaker 2: CBD in a vehicle on say a Sunday. You know, 444 00:21:10,693 --> 00:21:13,053 Speaker 2: I wanted to take my kids to go and do something, 445 00:21:13,213 --> 00:21:16,532 Speaker 2: just there's just no way. It's just an absolute nightmare. 446 00:21:16,533 --> 00:21:20,813 Speaker 2: And that's a huge, huge failing from city council. 447 00:21:20,893 --> 00:21:23,493 Speaker 3: And just the cruelness involved KAI because it is cruel 448 00:21:23,533 --> 00:21:26,293 Speaker 3: the whole park and ride situation in christ jed. So, 449 00:21:26,573 --> 00:21:28,853 Speaker 3: something happens to a family member or a friend of 450 00:21:28,893 --> 00:21:30,613 Speaker 3: yours and you were stressed to the max and you 451 00:21:30,653 --> 00:21:33,093 Speaker 3: were racing to the hospital and they expect you to 452 00:21:33,253 --> 00:21:36,733 Speaker 3: go several blocks over, park up and wait for a 453 00:21:36,773 --> 00:21:39,213 Speaker 3: fricking bus to take you to the hospital while your 454 00:21:39,733 --> 00:21:41,733 Speaker 3: family member is going through that. I mean, it blows 455 00:21:41,733 --> 00:21:43,693 Speaker 3: the mind. That is just cruel. So you're sitting there 456 00:21:43,853 --> 00:21:46,133 Speaker 3: stress to the max. Oh, were's this bus to drop 457 00:21:46,173 --> 00:21:49,253 Speaker 3: me off at the hospital. It's crazy, that's not And. 458 00:21:49,253 --> 00:21:52,293 Speaker 9: Also too around Hagley Park there they've just taken away 459 00:21:52,373 --> 00:21:56,133 Speaker 9: I think another seventy car parks because they were free 460 00:21:57,093 --> 00:22:00,773 Speaker 9: encouraging people to walk around the gardens and you spend 461 00:22:00,853 --> 00:22:04,173 Speaker 9: money in places and they've just taken those away and 462 00:22:04,173 --> 00:22:08,613 Speaker 9: made them paying parks. One good thing is we'll have 463 00:22:08,613 --> 00:22:10,413 Speaker 9: lost a little bit of ground in christ Hues because 464 00:22:10,413 --> 00:22:13,532 Speaker 9: they've got another opposition company that have stolen some of 465 00:22:13,573 --> 00:22:15,893 Speaker 9: their car parks and they're coming in at the cheaper rate. 466 00:22:16,013 --> 00:22:16,453 Speaker 3: Who's that. 467 00:22:18,693 --> 00:22:20,093 Speaker 9: I tried for the life of me to think of 468 00:22:20,173 --> 00:22:23,293 Speaker 9: who it was that they've lost one in here for 469 00:22:23,453 --> 00:22:27,893 Speaker 9: street opposite the theater Oil. It's no longer Wilson, so 470 00:22:27,973 --> 00:22:29,373 Speaker 9: they come in at a lower rate. 471 00:22:30,293 --> 00:22:32,493 Speaker 3: It's good news. Hopefully it's a New Zealand operator. 472 00:22:33,773 --> 00:22:36,653 Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, not money going off shore. 473 00:22:37,573 --> 00:22:40,773 Speaker 2: Actually, to finish my little punishing little story, what we 474 00:22:40,853 --> 00:22:42,133 Speaker 2: just did is we drove through we had to go 475 00:22:42,173 --> 00:22:43,773 Speaker 2: and get something. We just kept driving and we went 476 00:22:43,853 --> 00:22:46,893 Speaker 2: up to Saint Luke's and parked and the free parking 477 00:22:46,933 --> 00:22:50,053 Speaker 2: at the shopping mall. That's what happens. So you've got 478 00:22:50,053 --> 00:22:52,613 Speaker 2: their great plans which are essentially we don't want people 479 00:22:52,613 --> 00:22:54,413 Speaker 2: in cars because we hate cars and it's an original 480 00:22:54,453 --> 00:22:56,973 Speaker 2: sin for in New Zealander to be in a car, 481 00:22:57,493 --> 00:22:59,293 Speaker 2: so we make it very very hard to be in cars. 482 00:22:59,333 --> 00:23:01,293 Speaker 2: And then what happens is people just go to the 483 00:23:01,333 --> 00:23:03,293 Speaker 2: places that it's easy to be in a car, which 484 00:23:03,293 --> 00:23:06,493 Speaker 2: happens to be the shopping mall, and then our beautiful 485 00:23:07,773 --> 00:23:09,853 Speaker 2: brick and mortar shops go out of business. Yeah, and 486 00:23:09,893 --> 00:23:12,333 Speaker 2: then we have to go to punishing malls under strip 487 00:23:12,413 --> 00:23:15,693 Speaker 2: lighting that make me very stressful. Anyway, that's just thank 488 00:23:15,733 --> 00:23:17,373 Speaker 2: you so much for your car, Kai, I appreciate that. 489 00:23:18,093 --> 00:23:19,773 Speaker 3: And to Ky's point, I mean, you know it happened 490 00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:22,493 Speaker 3: in Auckland, and it certainly happened in christ Church. Even 491 00:23:22,533 --> 00:23:25,093 Speaker 3: though you've got those beautiful new infrastructure and developments and 492 00:23:25,133 --> 00:23:29,093 Speaker 3: stadiums going up. The CBD's been batling. People love recording 493 00:23:29,133 --> 00:23:30,733 Speaker 3: in christ Chuch because it's got a beautiful mall in 494 00:23:30,733 --> 00:23:32,173 Speaker 3: lots and car parks they'd are free. 495 00:23:32,213 --> 00:23:34,453 Speaker 2: I got to say our texta from Dunedin who said, 496 00:23:34,453 --> 00:23:36,693 Speaker 2: who cares how much rich Auckland does pay for parking. 497 00:23:36,773 --> 00:23:39,613 Speaker 2: Dunedin doesn't even get a hospital.

But you can't just make 666 00:32:09,893 --> 00:32:12,813 Speaker 2: a little, you know, a little business out of it 667 00:32:12,933 --> 00:32:14,933 Speaker 2: within like a little section of the government to run 668 00:32:15,013 --> 00:32:18,333 Speaker 2: that and that that that parking building and make a 669 00:32:18,373 --> 00:32:20,333 Speaker 2: whole lot of make a whole lot of money, and 670 00:32:20,493 --> 00:32:25,173 Speaker 2: that money go back into the health the health of 671 00:32:25,253 --> 00:32:25,973 Speaker 2: our country. 672 00:32:25,893 --> 00:32:29,293 Speaker 3: Seems as budget But just to your your previous point 673 00:32:29,333 --> 00:32:32,493 Speaker 3: in years, I do love a PPP getting private investment 674 00:32:32,733 --> 00:32:33,893 Speaker 3: and worth with government. 675 00:32:34,093 --> 00:32:34,613 Speaker 15: I do a P. 676 00:32:34,973 --> 00:32:39,693 Speaker 3: I love a PPP, but when it's something like hospital parking, 677 00:32:40,013 --> 00:32:42,533 Speaker 3: I don't think we should be profiteering off hospital parking. 678 00:32:42,573 --> 00:32:45,573 Speaker 3: That is one element there that the government should be 679 00:32:45,693 --> 00:32:47,893 Speaker 3: pon opponent it up, and yes, it's going to be 680 00:32:47,973 --> 00:32:51,693 Speaker 3: costing us as taxpayers money, fair enough to it's. 681 00:32:51,653 --> 00:32:54,413 Speaker 2: Freaking hospital park what about breaking even? Would you support 682 00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:57,853 Speaker 2: a parking building that broke even so it paid for 683 00:32:57,933 --> 00:33:00,133 Speaker 2: itself and paid for its own bills. 684 00:33:00,293 --> 00:33:04,573 Speaker 3: Yeap, I would support hospital parking losing a little bit 685 00:33:04,613 --> 00:33:04,893 Speaker 3: of money. 686 00:33:04,973 --> 00:33:07,053 Speaker 2: I guess the problem is, at any given time, then 687 00:33:07,133 --> 00:33:09,453 Speaker 2: the budget for health in our country goes, We've got 688 00:33:09,533 --> 00:33:11,333 Speaker 2: this much money and we want to spend it on health, 689 00:33:11,693 --> 00:33:13,133 Speaker 2: and then it's very hard for them to go. And 690 00:33:13,173 --> 00:33:15,733 Speaker 2: I think this is what happened in twenty seventeen. What 691 00:33:16,093 --> 00:33:19,213 Speaker 2: happened was became quite hard to then go, well, we're 692 00:33:19,213 --> 00:33:20,973 Speaker 2: actually going to spend some of our health budget on 693 00:33:21,053 --> 00:33:24,693 Speaker 2: building a parking building.

I go to the Pullman, 732 00:35:13,613 --> 00:35:16,212 Speaker 16: and I normally like, I don't mind parking my own 733 00:35:16,253 --> 00:35:18,613 Speaker 16: car myself, and then growing up in the elevator and 734 00:35:18,693 --> 00:35:22,293 Speaker 16: that that's not a problem, thinking, yeah, everything's the same 735 00:35:22,373 --> 00:35:25,333 Speaker 16: as every other time I've come. But apparently when I 736 00:35:25,413 --> 00:35:27,493 Speaker 16: went to leave and asked to pay for the parking, 737 00:35:27,613 --> 00:35:29,733 Speaker 16: they were telling me, oh, no, Wilson Parking on it. 738 00:35:29,813 --> 00:35:31,773 Speaker 16: Now I find that I got a ticket of one 739 00:35:31,853 --> 00:35:33,133 Speaker 16: hundred and nineteen dollars. 740 00:35:34,653 --> 00:35:38,693 Speaker 3: Well, sid said, Well said why, Well. 741 00:35:38,653 --> 00:35:44,733 Speaker 16: Said, it's that bad that because Wilson Parking owned the 742 00:35:44,773 --> 00:35:47,853 Speaker 16: parking underneath the hotel, which is part of the hotel park. 743 00:35:47,933 --> 00:35:48,453 Speaker 16: I'm concerned. 744 00:35:48,573 --> 00:35:51,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, I I agree with you that that seems that 745 00:35:51,253 --> 00:35:55,613 Speaker 2: seems that's low. You know, that is it's not classy Pullman. 746 00:35:56,133 --> 00:35:58,212 Speaker 2: You're going to a classy hotel like the Pullman. You're 747 00:35:58,213 --> 00:36:00,853 Speaker 2: spending some money you got William having a staycation. Yeah, 748 00:36:00,973 --> 00:36:02,933 Speaker 2: I think I think that's a bad lock from from 749 00:36:03,013 --> 00:36:05,133 Speaker 2: the pullman personally, not just. 750 00:36:05,253 --> 00:36:08,253 Speaker 16: That is they locked their elevators and stuff after ten. 751 00:36:09,093 --> 00:36:11,773 Speaker 16: So if you got something in your car and you 752 00:36:11,933 --> 00:36:13,732 Speaker 16: rush down there to get it, you ain't gonna get 753 00:36:13,773 --> 00:36:15,853 Speaker 16: back in unless you walk all the way up the 754 00:36:15,933 --> 00:36:18,133 Speaker 16: three flaws and go in the front. 755 00:36:18,533 --> 00:36:21,973 Speaker 3: Right, fair enough?

But it's a fair point. You know, 758 00:36:26,413 --> 00:36:29,493 Speaker 3: you don't want a company like Wilson being associated with 759 00:36:29,573 --> 00:36:29,933 Speaker 3: your brand. 760 00:36:30,053 --> 00:36:33,253 Speaker 2: Well, here we go.

We 762 00:36:36,853 --> 00:36:39,173 Speaker 2: as a country are broke. If the government managed the 763 00:36:39,253 --> 00:36:41,133 Speaker 2: car park is a business, how much money do you 764 00:36:41,213 --> 00:36:43,652 Speaker 2: think it would cost an admin before it even got 765 00:36:43,693 --> 00:36:46,653 Speaker 2: off the ground. Two, how many local workers, non hospital 766 00:36:46,693 --> 00:36:49,212 Speaker 2: persons would park there all day if they were free? 767 00:36:50,173 --> 00:36:52,813 Speaker 2: Is the question? What can we do as individuals not 768 00:36:52,933 --> 00:36:55,533 Speaker 2: to have to go to hospital over and above unexpected 769 00:36:55,613 --> 00:36:59,213 Speaker 2: medical accidents and events? Well that's a macro look. I mean, 770 00:36:59,333 --> 00:37:02,293 Speaker 2: you could argue that our unhealthy choices in life are 771 00:37:02,333 --> 00:37:05,373 Speaker 2: why are the hospital car parks are full now? And 772 00:37:05,773 --> 00:37:08,252 Speaker 2: you certainly when you go to a hospital, you can't 773 00:37:08,413 --> 00:37:13,253 Speaker 2: help as you're waiting to look around with the judgment 774 00:37:13,333 --> 00:37:16,333 Speaker 2: to lie and go.

But when I spent 856 00:40:45,893 --> 00:40:47,893 Speaker 3: all that money at the local barber and I told 857 00:40:47,893 --> 00:40:50,692 Speaker 3: you how much I spent, and you spent the show 858 00:40:50,813 --> 00:40:53,093 Speaker 3: just saying that you ever paid, Tyler, you should go 859 00:40:53,133 --> 00:40:54,933 Speaker 3: back to that barber and taste of that person.

So 861 00:40:58,253 --> 00:41:00,613 Speaker 3: even though it's a pretty good fade, yeah, she could 862 00:41:00,653 --> 00:41:02,973 Speaker 3: just take you, take your hands off and just a week. 863 00:41:03,693 --> 00:41:05,853 Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

Well, 867 00:41:15,773 --> 00:41:19,573 Speaker 3: very nice, mate, you look very tidy. Finally, yeah, yeah, finally, And. 868 00:41:19,813 --> 00:41:21,413 Speaker 2: You know, if you want to say nice haircut to 869 00:41:21,533 --> 00:41:24,333 Speaker 2: me ticks through nineteen nineteen, just assume that it's good 870 00:41:24,533 --> 00:41:25,453 Speaker 2: to take my word for it. 871 00:41:25,493 --> 00:41:27,213 Speaker 3: Have you put that up on Instagram for people to 872 00:41:27,573 --> 00:41:27,973 Speaker 3: have a look. 873 00:41:28,253 --> 00:41:30,453 Speaker 2: I can, Yeah, yeah, I'll put it on Instagram now, 874 00:41:30,533 --> 00:41:32,573 Speaker 2: Matt Heathen's it if we can't make a lot of 875 00:41:32,613 --> 00:41:35,413 Speaker 2: abuse right anyway? 876 00:41:35,413 --> 00:41:36,893 Speaker 3: What were you saying, Let's have a chat. This is 877 00:41:36,893 --> 00:41:38,413 Speaker 3: going to be an interesting chat and it might get 878 00:41:38,453 --> 00:41:40,453 Speaker 3: people a bit racked up? Why you post that patrol 879 00:41:40,573 --> 00:41:46,453 Speaker 3: Instagram every morning? And frustration builds and Auckland's in the suburbs. 880 00:41:46,493 --> 00:41:49,213 Speaker 3: For many locals, all roads lead to one bag problem. 881 00:41:49,253 --> 00:41:52,053 Speaker 3: And we're talking about the Green Lane Roundabout. So the 882 00:41:52,133 --> 00:41:54,533 Speaker 3: roundabout sits at the junction of Green Lane East and 883 00:41:54,693 --> 00:41:59,573 Speaker 3: West and feeds directly onto key Southern Motorway ramps, making 884 00:41:59,613 --> 00:42:04,213 Speaker 3: it one of Auckland's most complex and high volume interchanges. 885 00:42:04,253 --> 00:42:07,333 Speaker 3: And twenty seventeen changes we're introduced by m ZTA to 886 00:42:07,453 --> 00:42:11,933 Speaker 3: improve safety and ease of use. These yellow nose Stopping 887 00:42:12,013 --> 00:42:15,213 Speaker 3: zones were painted at by key exits to prevents. So 888 00:42:15,333 --> 00:42:15,772 Speaker 3: that's done. 889 00:42:16,213 --> 00:42:16,413 Speaker 2: Done. 890 00:42:16,693 --> 00:42:18,013 Speaker 3: That look like a good fight. I've got to say, 891 00:42:18,093 --> 00:42:21,213 Speaker 3: just think just mid sentence. These yellow nose stopping zones 892 00:42:21,253 --> 00:42:25,333 Speaker 3: were painted and key exits to prevent gridlock within the roundabout, 893 00:42:25,493 --> 00:42:29,653 Speaker 3: allowing vehicles to exit without being blocked by cars stuck insight. 894 00:42:29,733 --> 00:42:32,853 Speaker 3: But it is a dog. It feels like it's over engineered. 895 00:42:33,373 --> 00:42:35,773 Speaker 3: And if you are familiar with the green Lane roundabout, 896 00:42:35,813 --> 00:42:37,133 Speaker 3: love to hear from you on eight one hundred and 897 00:42:37,133 --> 00:42:38,973 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. But we want to take it wider 898 00:42:39,053 --> 00:42:42,893 Speaker 3: than that. That is just one intersection roundabout of many 899 00:42:43,853 --> 00:42:47,373 Speaker 3: around the country that are diabolical. A lot of people 900 00:42:47,413 --> 00:42:50,453 Speaker 3: in christ Church will know the Anzac Drive roundabout that 901 00:42:50,613 --> 00:42:54,533 Speaker 3: for some reason, some numbdy decided to put some lights 902 00:42:54,573 --> 00:42:54,853 Speaker 3: in there. 903 00:42:55,693 --> 00:43:00,133 Speaker 2: That is the most shocking. The only reason why roundabouts 904 00:43:00,173 --> 00:43:05,093 Speaker 2: exist is for a more efficient traffic flow. Then you 905 00:43:05,213 --> 00:43:07,733 Speaker 2: get with traffic lights. Yeah, and so people can make 906 00:43:07,733 --> 00:43:10,813 Speaker 2: their own decesis, get round and the collective intelligence of 907 00:43:10,973 --> 00:43:14,813 Speaker 2: drivers will keep things moving. If you make a roundabout 908 00:43:14,853 --> 00:43:16,373 Speaker 2: and then you put a traffic light on it, you 909 00:43:16,653 --> 00:43:19,933 Speaker 2: are some kind of psychopath. 910 00:43:19,373 --> 00:43:22,373 Speaker 3: Oh definitely. And it's within forty meters of the roundabout. 911 00:43:22,453 --> 00:43:24,573 Speaker 3: So before anybody comes at me and says, but Tyler, 912 00:43:24,653 --> 00:43:26,613 Speaker 3: that is for the safety of cyclists to get across 913 00:43:26,653 --> 00:43:29,533 Speaker 3: the road. They should have had those traffic lights miles 914 00:43:29,613 --> 00:43:31,973 Speaker 3: up the road for the cyclists instead of twenty meters 915 00:43:32,013 --> 00:43:34,933 Speaker 3: from the roundabout. Oh there's a lot of tecks coming. 916 00:43:35,093 --> 00:43:35,813 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there we go. 917 00:43:35,893 --> 00:43:40,172 Speaker 2: Sick lead sick laod brother love the new fade looking sharp. Geez, Matt, 918 00:43:40,213 --> 00:43:42,732 Speaker 2: it's not all about you such an I am guy. 919 00:43:43,093 --> 00:43:46,373 Speaker 2: That's absolutely incorrect. It is all about me. Your haircut 920 00:43:46,453 --> 00:43:48,493 Speaker 2: sounds great. Look at this. Hey, this is from Ryan. 921 00:43:48,573 --> 00:43:49,172 Speaker 2: Nice to hear cut. 922 00:43:49,373 --> 00:43:49,733 Speaker 19: There you go. 923 00:43:50,253 --> 00:43:54,933 Speaker 2: Can you please ask with a lady to drink some water? Cheers? Okay, okay, sure. 924 00:43:54,733 --> 00:43:56,453 Speaker 3: I know who the weather lady is, but we'll get 925 00:43:56,453 --> 00:43:57,493 Speaker 3: it to drink any more water? 926 00:43:57,693 --> 00:43:59,173 Speaker 2: Can we zone a zone? 927 00:43:59,253 --> 00:44:02,373 Speaker 3: And on terrible intersection? So we've talked about green lane, 928 00:44:02,613 --> 00:44:05,453 Speaker 3: I've talked about the Anzac Drive roundabout in christ Jerge. 929 00:44:05,973 --> 00:44:08,253 Speaker 3: For you the intersection that does you hidden? 930 00:44:08,933 --> 00:44:12,053 Speaker 2: I think green lane on that I use that quite 931 00:44:12,093 --> 00:44:15,293 Speaker 2: a lot. And that is complicated. You've got this intersection 932 00:44:15,493 --> 00:44:17,413 Speaker 2: that has a lot of moving parts and we are 933 00:44:17,533 --> 00:44:22,253 Speaker 2: so insanely safety focused. In New Zealand, we're treated like children. 934 00:44:22,373 --> 00:44:26,533 Speaker 2: The infantilization of New Zealand is almost complete. You've got 935 00:44:26,613 --> 00:44:29,333 Speaker 2: thirty kilometer in our zones. I mean I got pinged 936 00:44:29,333 --> 00:44:31,933 Speaker 2: by a cop the other day traveling fifty in a 937 00:44:32,013 --> 00:44:35,253 Speaker 2: thirty kilometer of zone across Hopetown Bridge. I'm like, come on, 938 00:44:35,533 --> 00:44:38,173 Speaker 2: I can travel fifty kilometers an hour across a bridge. 939 00:44:38,493 --> 00:44:45,493 Speaker 2: So this treating us like children in the most ridiculous places. 940 00:44:45,693 --> 00:44:49,093 Speaker 2: And then you try and go on the Greenland Roundabout 941 00:44:49,613 --> 00:44:51,973 Speaker 2: and it is the most confusing thing that's ever happened 942 00:44:52,453 --> 00:44:55,453 Speaker 2: to the world. The sign posting of what lane to 943 00:44:55,573 --> 00:44:58,733 Speaker 2: be in doesn't happen to the very last minute, ye, 944 00:44:58,853 --> 00:45:00,973 Speaker 2: I mean that could be happened way further back. So 945 00:45:01,133 --> 00:45:04,973 Speaker 2: I think the green lane one is insane. Bring in 946 00:45:05,053 --> 00:45:08,493 Speaker 2: a PPP and put a spiddy junction over there. If 947 00:45:08,533 --> 00:45:13,133 Speaker 2: you're going across the top past the McDonald's, then you 948 00:45:13,133 --> 00:45:15,893 Speaker 2: should go over bridge. You know, if you go in 949 00:45:15,973 --> 00:45:18,213 Speaker 2: the other way, it should be underneath that. If you're 950 00:45:18,253 --> 00:45:20,053 Speaker 2: going around that way, there should be another one. 951 00:45:20,173 --> 00:45:22,093 Speaker 3: The last time I was on it, even Google Maps 952 00:45:22,133 --> 00:45:24,173 Speaker 3: gave up. Usually Google Maps tells you what lane to 953 00:45:24,213 --> 00:45:25,732 Speaker 3: get into. But the last time I was on Green 954 00:45:25,853 --> 00:45:27,893 Speaker 3: Lane it was just a big question mark on Google 955 00:45:28,013 --> 00:45:29,253 Speaker 3: Maps saying I don't know what to do it. You're 956 00:45:29,293 --> 00:45:30,333 Speaker 3: right here, So. 957 00:45:30,773 --> 00:45:33,212 Speaker 2: Should we name and shame the worst pieces of infrastructure 958 00:45:33,373 --> 00:45:34,013 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. 959 00:45:34,093 --> 00:45:36,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 960 00:45:36,853 --> 00:45:38,773 Speaker 3: to call love to hear from you about the worst 961 00:45:38,813 --> 00:45:41,373 Speaker 3: intersections in the country.

But then where 1000 00:47:47,173 --> 00:47:51,573 Speaker 20: the roundabouts were, you would just have the traffic moving 1001 00:47:51,613 --> 00:47:54,333 Speaker 20: all the time. There was no worries, there was no like, 1002 00:47:54,493 --> 00:47:57,773 Speaker 20: you know, just continuously moving. You didn't have trucks stopping 1003 00:47:57,813 --> 00:48:00,933 Speaker 20: and starting. You didn't have they've widened the road from 1004 00:48:01,613 --> 00:48:06,373 Speaker 20: one lane out to six moving back into one. Yeah, 1005 00:48:06,493 --> 00:48:10,413 Speaker 20: but it's like the trucks are complaining, the town's complaining. 1006 00:48:11,133 --> 00:48:14,293 Speaker 2: But how they miss like how do they miss it up? 1007 00:48:14,573 --> 00:48:17,413 Speaker 2: Because it seems to me that would be pretty easy 1008 00:48:17,493 --> 00:48:21,933 Speaker 2: programs to run, to put through some simulation to work 1009 00:48:21,973 --> 00:48:24,573 Speaker 2: out what's going to going to happen when you do that. 1010 00:48:25,053 --> 00:48:27,853 Speaker 2: And look, look, I love a roundabout. And as you're saying, Scott, 1011 00:48:28,093 --> 00:48:31,053 Speaker 2: you know those roundabouts work great when there's a good roundabout, 1012 00:48:31,173 --> 00:48:33,373 Speaker 2: it works so much better than lights because people can 1013 00:48:33,453 --> 00:48:36,293 Speaker 2: use their own brain power instead of some arbitrarily set 1014 00:48:36,773 --> 00:48:39,293 Speaker 2: phasing of the lights. So when we lay into the 1015 00:48:39,813 --> 00:48:43,893 Speaker 2: green Lane and Royal Oak and different punishing roundabouts and 1016 00:48:43,973 --> 00:48:46,173 Speaker 2: ones with lights that have been added to roundabouts, the 1017 00:48:46,253 --> 00:48:51,133 Speaker 2: roundabout concept is fantastic. Yeah, I love a roundabout. And 1018 00:48:51,253 --> 00:48:54,373 Speaker 2: it sounds like what you're saying, removing the removing the 1019 00:48:54,453 --> 00:48:56,652 Speaker 2: roundabout supporting lights is just making it so much worse. 1020 00:48:57,693 --> 00:49:00,413 Speaker 20: But it's like the count I ever say, so you've 1021 00:49:00,453 --> 00:49:03,333 Speaker 20: got a major conflict that's been builders came up in 1022 00:49:03,413 --> 00:49:07,733 Speaker 20: a supermarket and some other shops. Andiually, I don't know 1023 00:49:07,813 --> 00:49:10,253 Speaker 20: exactly where they've decided to put the second bridge in there, 1024 00:49:10,693 --> 00:49:13,773 Speaker 20: but potentially that can take the condition away, depending on 1025 00:49:13,813 --> 00:49:17,773 Speaker 20: where it's going. Yeah, but the traffic just doesn't flow. 1026 00:49:17,933 --> 00:49:20,453 Speaker 3: So because you're talking about sorry to jump in there, Scott, 1027 00:49:20,493 --> 00:49:22,613 Speaker 3: you're talking about the roundabout that used to be on 1028 00:49:23,333 --> 00:49:27,013 Speaker 3: as you're heating towards Kai ended right, that's right by 1029 00:49:27,093 --> 00:49:29,772 Speaker 3: that park, that beautiful park with the with the brick 1030 00:49:29,853 --> 00:49:32,853 Speaker 3: wall there used to be around out there. One oh, mate, 1031 00:49:32,893 --> 00:49:35,413 Speaker 3: that would be diabolical because, as you say, most of 1032 00:49:35,533 --> 00:49:39,453 Speaker 3: the traffic is on the State Highway going towards the 1033 00:49:39,613 --> 00:49:42,212 Speaker 3: town center, and bugger, all traffic is going the other way. 1034 00:49:42,413 --> 00:49:45,013 Speaker 3: So getting some traffic lights in there makes no sense 1035 00:49:45,333 --> 00:49:48,973 Speaker 3: that you're giving those other people going, you know, on 1036 00:49:49,053 --> 00:49:51,853 Speaker 3: the opposite direction rather than on the state highway equal 1037 00:49:52,013 --> 00:49:53,893 Speaker 3: chance to do that would just block everything up. 1038 00:49:54,933 --> 00:49:59,172 Speaker 20: Yeah, and it's screwed it up. Like so, I lived 1039 00:49:59,213 --> 00:50:02,732 Speaker 20: in an a street and when they put the roundabouts then. 1040 00:50:02,853 --> 00:50:05,413 Speaker 20: So I was at the intermediate thirty odds years ago, 1041 00:50:05,813 --> 00:50:07,933 Speaker 20: and they put those roundabouts then, and it improved it, 1042 00:50:08,013 --> 00:50:11,733 Speaker 20: I mean sleep. But they decided that there were apparently 1043 00:50:11,813 --> 00:50:16,253 Speaker 20: too many accidents together, which I never in my thirty 1044 00:50:16,453 --> 00:50:19,973 Speaker 20: something years of driving, never encountered and accident here at all. 1045 00:50:20,613 --> 00:50:23,933 Speaker 20: But they decided, in their infinite wisdom that to control 1046 00:50:24,013 --> 00:50:27,173 Speaker 20: the traffic better and to make it easier for people 1047 00:50:27,253 --> 00:50:30,213 Speaker 20: that don't like roundabouts, that they would take out the 1048 00:50:30,773 --> 00:50:34,333 Speaker 20: take out the roundabout and put in traffic lights. Now, 1049 00:50:34,613 --> 00:50:36,853 Speaker 20: as I say, the trucks, the truck driver is an 1050 00:50:36,853 --> 00:50:41,253 Speaker 20: expert in the bridge trucking town. The truck drivers are 1051 00:50:41,373 --> 00:50:44,693 Speaker 20: complaining to EASYTA, or the companies are complaining to Easyta 1052 00:50:45,213 --> 00:50:47,893 Speaker 20: that it is slowing the junis up by up to 1053 00:50:48,133 --> 00:50:50,252 Speaker 20: half an hour to an hour each way. 1054 00:50:51,653 --> 00:50:53,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's not how we get in New Zealand moving. 1055 00:50:53,533 --> 00:50:53,653 Speaker 5: Is that. 1056 00:50:53,733 --> 00:50:55,253 Speaker 2: That's not going to sort out our productivity. 1057 00:50:56,253 --> 00:50:57,573 Speaker 20: It's not there. 1058 00:50:57,933 --> 00:50:58,253 Speaker 11: I don't know. 1059 00:50:58,373 --> 00:51:01,053 Speaker 20: As I say, so, they've gone from being single lane 1060 00:51:01,093 --> 00:51:05,253 Speaker 20: roundabouts and big roundabouts sort of not as big as 1061 00:51:05,293 --> 00:51:07,773 Speaker 20: the sock Moon roundabout there in christ Hie, but bigger 1062 00:51:07,853 --> 00:51:10,252 Speaker 20: enough round so you can get a truck going around 1063 00:51:10,253 --> 00:51:14,652 Speaker 20: the evening half. So now there's six lanes going either 1064 00:51:14,693 --> 00:51:17,413 Speaker 20: direction north, south, east, end west where you've got a 1065 00:51:17,493 --> 00:51:20,172 Speaker 20: left turning lane, a straight through lane, a left straight 1066 00:51:20,253 --> 00:51:24,453 Speaker 20: through turning right lane on every side and it's just 1067 00:51:24,533 --> 00:51:25,773 Speaker 20: cocked up the traffic all together. 1068 00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:28,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go. That's a contender. 1069 00:51:28,333 --> 00:51:30,653 Speaker 3: That is a massive contender. The Ashburn and roundabout that 1070 00:51:30,773 --> 00:51:32,453 Speaker 3: is no more and just do the old traffic lights. 1071 00:51:32,573 --> 00:51:34,933 Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, I'm changing my mind here on roundabouts and 1072 00:51:34,973 --> 00:51:37,493 Speaker 2: I'm feeling bad for slacking off the green lane roundabout 1073 00:51:37,533 --> 00:51:39,973 Speaker 2: because it just struck me that traffic lights are for 1074 00:51:40,013 --> 00:51:42,853 Speaker 2: the week, aren't they. Yeah, traffic lights are for the week. 1075 00:51:42,933 --> 00:51:45,613 Speaker 2: And scared that want other people to make decisions for them. 1076 00:51:46,093 --> 00:51:49,093 Speaker 2: And even though the green line green lane round about 1077 00:51:49,133 --> 00:51:51,173 Speaker 2: in Auckland and the Royal Oak one are challenging. And 1078 00:51:51,253 --> 00:51:53,373 Speaker 2: when I first moved to Auckland, I got stuck in 1079 00:51:53,413 --> 00:51:55,933 Speaker 2: the Royal Oak round about it and I got terrified. 1080 00:51:55,933 --> 00:51:57,733 Speaker 2: I've never been in a two lane roundabout before and 1081 00:51:57,773 --> 00:51:59,293 Speaker 2: I ended up just going around and round around a 1082 00:51:59,333 --> 00:52:00,453 Speaker 2: circles in the middle terrified. 1083 00:52:00,533 --> 00:52:02,053 Speaker 3: And how long were you stuck in there? To other people? 1084 00:52:02,333 --> 00:52:04,573 Speaker 2: Two days? Yeah, two days just going round around before 1085 00:52:04,573 --> 00:52:06,053 Speaker 2: I could find until you. 1086 00:52:06,093 --> 00:52:07,573 Speaker 3: Ran out of fuel and they had to be dragged 1087 00:52:07,573 --> 00:52:07,933 Speaker 3: out of there. 1088 00:52:09,293 --> 00:52:12,773 Speaker 2: But the thing is that you know, once you learn it, 1089 00:52:13,373 --> 00:52:15,773 Speaker 2: I think, I think we've just got people. Just got 1090 00:52:15,893 --> 00:52:19,692 Speaker 2: to handle it right, handle the jendle. It's a because 1091 00:52:20,133 --> 00:52:22,692 Speaker 2: as confusing as some roundabouts could be, and definitely green 1092 00:52:22,773 --> 00:52:26,853 Speaker 2: lane could be signposted better, so you knew an advance 1093 00:52:26,893 --> 00:52:28,653 Speaker 2: which lane you need to be in to go straight 1094 00:52:28,693 --> 00:52:32,093 Speaker 2: through or onto the motorway or whatever. Still, once you've 1095 00:52:32,133 --> 00:52:34,373 Speaker 2: done it, you know that you should be confident enough 1096 00:52:34,413 --> 00:52:36,173 Speaker 2: to deal with the roundabouts. So I say, I'm not 1097 00:52:36,213 --> 00:52:39,812 Speaker 2: going to run down roundabouts. More roundabouts, Yeah, less traffic lights. 1098 00:52:39,893 --> 00:52:41,653 Speaker 3: Roundabouts are for the brave.

Traffic lights are 1101 00:52:44,453 --> 00:52:46,333 Speaker 2: for the week and scared that want their handheld. 1102 00:52:46,493 --> 00:52:46,652 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1103 00:52:46,653 --> 00:52:48,813 Speaker 3: I love to hear from you on this one.

And as I said before, 1142 00:54:30,573 --> 00:54:33,333 Speaker 2: I think people that prefer traffic lights are weak people 1143 00:54:33,373 --> 00:54:36,093 Speaker 2: that are scared and they want to be told what 1144 00:54:36,213 --> 00:54:39,133 Speaker 2: to do. They want the government to organize every second 1145 00:54:39,173 --> 00:54:44,853 Speaker 2: of their life. Whereas roundabouts they they incentivize personal responsibility 1146 00:54:45,053 --> 00:54:46,933 Speaker 2: and an opportunity to show. 1147 00:54:46,773 --> 00:54:47,212 Speaker 5: What you got. 1148 00:54:47,333 --> 00:54:48,893 Speaker 3: You don't need a color to tell you what to do. 1149 00:54:49,613 --> 00:54:52,293 Speaker 2: I love roundabouts, says Josephine. Good on you nice. I 1150 00:54:52,373 --> 00:54:54,933 Speaker 2: live in roundabout city Hamilton. They keep their traffic moving. 1151 00:54:55,013 --> 00:54:56,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, go on your Hamilton. 1152 00:54:56,093 --> 00:54:57,613 Speaker 2: Hamilton is roundabout city, isn't it. 1153 00:54:59,533 --> 00:55:02,573 Speaker 3: Guys. We're stretch of road Katikati to Toto on the 1154 00:55:02,733 --> 00:55:07,053 Speaker 3: State Highway too, and worst intersection is Right's road. They 1155 00:55:07,613 --> 00:55:10,293 Speaker 3: have basically locked them in with cheese cut of wire 1156 00:55:10,493 --> 00:55:15,813 Speaker 3: and stupid yellow bendy cones won't change it either, dreadful. 1157 00:55:16,253 --> 00:55:16,573 Speaker 19: Thank you. 1158 00:55:16,853 --> 00:55:19,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. Okay, Jeremy, welcome the show. You 1159 00:55:19,293 --> 00:55:20,373 Speaker 2: want to talk about Green Lane? 1160 00:55:21,573 --> 00:55:24,773 Speaker 4: I sure do. I enjoy the opportunity to piling on 1161 00:55:24,893 --> 00:55:29,413 Speaker 4: Green Lane. I've travel traveled that thing probably twice the 1162 00:55:29,493 --> 00:55:31,693 Speaker 4: day the last fifteen years, so it's a pretty intimate 1163 00:55:31,773 --> 00:55:34,732 Speaker 4: part of my life. It's a rare, rare beat that thing. 1164 00:55:34,973 --> 00:55:39,133 Speaker 4: It's a combination of a roundabout, some traffic lights, and 1165 00:55:39,253 --> 00:55:42,653 Speaker 4: then a motorway as well. So part of the problem 1166 00:55:42,773 --> 00:55:45,413 Speaker 4: is you've got the traffic lights going north and south 1167 00:55:45,573 --> 00:55:47,773 Speaker 4: onto the motorway, so the traffic backs up, and then 1168 00:55:48,213 --> 00:55:52,652 Speaker 4: round the roundabout if you're heading north into the sea. 1169 00:55:52,773 --> 00:55:55,693 Speaker 4: From the south, the motorway goes from three lanes to 1170 00:55:55,773 --> 00:55:57,733 Speaker 4: two lanes of green lane as well, so the traffic 1171 00:55:58,213 --> 00:56:00,493 Speaker 4: naturally kind of slows down there, and then the traffic 1172 00:56:00,573 --> 00:56:04,573 Speaker 4: lights add to that. No matter what time of day, 1173 00:56:04,573 --> 00:56:06,493 Speaker 4: it's a little bit confusing with the signage as to 1174 00:56:06,533 --> 00:56:07,173 Speaker 4: what lane. 1175 00:56:07,013 --> 00:56:07,333 Speaker 5: To be in. 1176 00:56:07,533 --> 00:56:08,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. 1177 00:56:08,373 --> 00:56:11,053 Speaker 4: Over the years, off and I've tried every angle I've 1178 00:56:11,093 --> 00:56:13,893 Speaker 4: come from Green Lane, I've come from. I've tried to 1179 00:56:13,933 --> 00:56:16,973 Speaker 4: sneak on other ways. There's no fast way about it. Yeah, 1180 00:56:17,293 --> 00:56:20,613 Speaker 4: I've cut up inside lanes and be that guy. Yeah, 1181 00:56:21,293 --> 00:56:23,693 Speaker 4: not been on that, you know. And in the n 1182 00:56:23,813 --> 00:56:25,613 Speaker 4: I just sit in the lane and wait my turn. 1183 00:56:25,693 --> 00:56:28,533 Speaker 4: And that's where you go about any quick fix to it. 1184 00:56:28,773 --> 00:56:31,133 Speaker 2: No, I mean, the the only joyful things. If you're 1185 00:56:31,173 --> 00:56:35,493 Speaker 2: turning left from were to go south, correct, then you 1186 00:56:35,533 --> 00:56:38,812 Speaker 2: can just around. That's fine, good, but it is a test. 1187 00:56:39,093 --> 00:56:41,812 Speaker 2: And and Jeremy, when I was teaching my son to drive, 1188 00:56:42,133 --> 00:56:45,093 Speaker 2: immediately after we've been to the pitching part, I was like, 1189 00:56:45,213 --> 00:56:48,172 Speaker 2: you have to drive through the green lane roundabout because 1190 00:56:48,213 --> 00:56:50,533 Speaker 2: if you can work that out lane, if you can 1191 00:56:50,613 --> 00:56:53,493 Speaker 2: get through that, then then you are driving at a 1192 00:56:53,573 --> 00:56:55,053 Speaker 2: higher rate than most of New Zealans. 1193 00:56:55,133 --> 00:56:55,333 Speaker 13: Yeah. 1194 00:56:56,053 --> 00:56:58,813 Speaker 4: Absolutely attest your patients and everything. And then you tried 1195 00:56:58,813 --> 00:57:02,453 Speaker 4: it at school time, pretty dirty on weekday. Yeah. 1196 00:57:03,053 --> 00:57:04,893 Speaker 2: And the other part of it is there's a there's 1197 00:57:04,893 --> 00:57:08,172 Speaker 2: a McDonald's on on the green lane side, so then 1198 00:57:09,573 --> 00:57:12,253 Speaker 2: which is also the most difficult McDonald's drive through to 1199 00:57:12,293 --> 00:57:14,253 Speaker 2: get through because you've got to go on all to 1200 00:57:14,453 --> 00:57:16,173 Speaker 2: you tour to get through that through the car park 1201 00:57:16,333 --> 00:57:18,453 Speaker 2: to get it to the So that's a whole nother 1202 00:57:18,533 --> 00:57:19,933 Speaker 2: element to it right there. Jeremy. 1203 00:57:20,333 --> 00:57:23,053 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a part of my life. 1204 00:57:23,133 --> 00:57:26,933 Speaker 2: So if there was a fantastic PPP deal done by 1205 00:57:26,933 --> 00:57:29,973 Speaker 2: the government and they were going to invest and fax 1206 00:57:30,053 --> 00:57:31,933 Speaker 2: that intersection up, what would you do? Would it be 1207 00:57:32,013 --> 00:57:34,093 Speaker 2: a fly over from I. 1208 00:57:34,533 --> 00:57:38,053 Speaker 4: Think so yeah, it'll be ai of a Spaghinti junction situation. Yeah, 1209 00:57:38,453 --> 00:57:40,973 Speaker 4: and then and then flowing onto the motorway, and and 1210 00:57:41,133 --> 00:57:43,853 Speaker 4: three like keeping that three lanes through green lane. You 1211 00:57:43,893 --> 00:57:45,493 Speaker 4: see it all over the place when you go three 1212 00:57:45,573 --> 00:57:48,093 Speaker 4: to two. It's also up at Consolation Drive you go 1213 00:57:48,213 --> 00:57:50,453 Speaker 4: from three to two and it just bangs everything up. 1214 00:57:50,573 --> 00:57:53,133 Speaker 4: And it used to be used to be three lanes consistent. 1215 00:57:54,333 --> 00:57:57,693 Speaker 20: Boy, Yeah, taxes and yeah. 1216 00:57:57,533 --> 00:58:00,893 Speaker 2: Well you bear that cross, Jeremy, Jeremy, the terrified look 1217 00:58:00,933 --> 00:58:02,693 Speaker 2: on my son's face when I first took him through 1218 00:58:02,773 --> 00:58:07,173 Speaker 2: that green lane. It was such a joy that my 1219 00:58:07,293 --> 00:58:09,373 Speaker 2: daughter through there. His chest was right up on the 1220 00:58:09,373 --> 00:58:11,093 Speaker 2: steering wheel. He was so close to the You know 1221 00:58:11,173 --> 00:58:13,293 Speaker 2: when kids are learning and they try and get close 1222 00:58:13,293 --> 00:58:15,533 Speaker 2: to the road. I'm like, that's not helping your son. 1223 00:58:15,853 --> 00:58:19,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, So good about you, Yeah, Jeremy, thank you. 1224 00:58:19,493 --> 00:58:20,213 Speaker 2: I you call Jeremy. 1225 00:58:20,293 --> 00:58:22,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do love how that brought you your joy 1226 00:58:22,213 --> 00:58:23,813 Speaker 3: seeing your son tackle that. I mean, it's kind of 1227 00:58:23,893 --> 00:58:26,013 Speaker 3: like tackling a storm and a sailboat, right, So here 1228 00:58:26,093 --> 00:58:26,573 Speaker 3: we go, son. 1229 00:58:26,733 --> 00:58:28,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't get any worse than this. Well, we 1230 00:58:28,973 --> 00:58:31,333 Speaker 2: raise yourself. We got an aerial picture of it first 1231 00:58:32,013 --> 00:58:34,893 Speaker 2: to map his route, and he was still terrified. It 1232 00:58:35,053 --> 00:58:37,013 Speaker 2: was very enjoyable, but you know, good on him. He 1233 00:58:37,053 --> 00:58:38,773 Speaker 2: got through and it made him. You know, what doesn't 1234 00:58:38,813 --> 00:58:39,813 Speaker 2: kill you makes you stronger. 1235 00:58:39,893 --> 00:58:42,373 Speaker 3: Exactly, he's a better man. Now, what doesn't cause a 1236 00:58:42,853 --> 00:58:45,773 Speaker 3: five car pilot makes you stronger? Oh, eight hundred and 1237 00:58:45,773 --> 00:58:47,373 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1238 00:58:47,773 --> 00:58:50,413 Speaker 2: Cris Welcome the show. You will talk about speed humps. 1239 00:58:52,013 --> 00:58:54,733 Speaker 18: Yeah, the christoots. A lot of the Chrisiss intersections are 1240 00:58:54,773 --> 00:58:59,453 Speaker 18: all raised intersections and the pedestrian crossings, And yeah, I 1241 00:58:59,533 --> 00:59:01,813 Speaker 18: thought I thought an intersection was designed to sort of 1242 00:59:01,853 --> 00:59:05,133 Speaker 18: get people through as quick as possible. Everyone that's got 1243 00:59:05,173 --> 00:59:06,853 Speaker 18: to come up to it's got to hit the brakes. 1244 00:59:07,093 --> 00:59:09,733 Speaker 18: It might be only quarter a second, but you get 1245 00:59:09,773 --> 00:59:12,253 Speaker 18: a hundred cars all of a sudden, you're starting to 1246 00:59:12,333 --> 00:59:15,973 Speaker 18: talk teny of seconds and get into the minutes and 1247 00:59:16,173 --> 00:59:19,253 Speaker 18: that's why all our traffic and Christich is just getting crucified. 1248 00:59:19,293 --> 00:59:21,973 Speaker 18: I don't know who the roading engineer is, but he 1249 00:59:22,053 --> 00:59:23,533 Speaker 18: should have stayed in play school. 1250 00:59:23,533 --> 00:59:23,973 Speaker 4: I think. 1251 00:59:25,333 --> 00:59:26,973 Speaker 18: It's just a mess. 1252 00:59:27,333 --> 00:59:29,773 Speaker 3: I'm with you. I mean that Marshland Road that they 1253 00:59:29,853 --> 00:59:31,853 Speaker 3: did fairly recently, I think in the last eight months. 1254 00:59:31,933 --> 00:59:34,253 Speaker 3: What is that about? So they've just had these raised 1255 00:59:34,933 --> 00:59:37,973 Speaker 3: speed humps right next to the traffic lights. It's just 1256 00:59:38,173 --> 00:59:42,373 Speaker 3: like a social experiment, just to infuriate drivers. There's not 1257 00:59:42,413 --> 00:59:44,373 Speaker 3: a reason for it because there's already traffic lights, so 1258 00:59:44,413 --> 00:59:46,053 Speaker 3: you don't need a speed bump in front of a 1259 00:59:46,093 --> 00:59:47,653 Speaker 3: traffic light. What the hell are they doing? 1260 00:59:48,973 --> 00:59:52,173 Speaker 18: Well, I've been lucky. I've just been to Brisbane mega 1261 00:59:52,293 --> 00:59:55,933 Speaker 18: size roundabouts and I mean mega size eight meters so 1262 00:59:56,013 --> 00:59:57,933 Speaker 18: you've got plenty of room to come in and out 1263 00:59:57,973 --> 00:59:59,933 Speaker 18: of them. And they could have done that on that 1264 01:00:00,053 --> 01:00:02,173 Speaker 18: new piece of the Moorway going. 1265 01:00:02,053 --> 01:00:02,813 Speaker 4: And from. 1266 01:00:04,253 --> 01:00:07,733 Speaker 18: Martians or not Marstrooms in from Roundure through to Christi 1267 01:00:08,413 --> 01:00:10,493 Speaker 18: you see the big round They could have had huge 1268 01:00:10,533 --> 01:00:12,533 Speaker 18: roundabouts here and got the traffic in and out so 1269 01:00:12,653 --> 01:00:14,573 Speaker 18: you didn't have to worry. But you get around the 1270 01:00:14,613 --> 01:00:17,413 Speaker 18: round then. But when I come into the town town 1271 01:00:17,573 --> 01:00:21,333 Speaker 18: like come to town. What especially whilst Martial's run stand 1272 01:00:21,373 --> 01:00:24,653 Speaker 18: more rodents, All those bloody speech cuts are just a 1273 01:00:24,773 --> 01:00:27,133 Speaker 18: pain in the bum. They slow you down. It's not 1274 01:00:27,253 --> 01:00:29,333 Speaker 18: getting traffic through, So what the hell is the point 1275 01:00:29,373 --> 01:00:30,013 Speaker 18: and having them there? 1276 01:00:30,493 --> 01:00:32,173 Speaker 2: Well, well, I think there's a lot of people to 1277 01:00:32,293 --> 01:00:34,373 Speaker 2: texting through. And it's what I was talking about before 1278 01:00:34,373 --> 01:00:36,493 Speaker 2: around the push politics. A lot of these things that 1279 01:00:36,773 --> 01:00:39,693 Speaker 2: are put in to get people out of cars. So 1280 01:00:39,813 --> 01:00:42,293 Speaker 2: we assume that you're you know, your people making these 1281 01:00:42,333 --> 01:00:44,493 Speaker 2: decisions are trying to make it easier for you. It 1282 01:00:44,613 --> 01:00:47,293 Speaker 2: does seem that there are decisions being made to make 1283 01:00:47,373 --> 01:00:49,933 Speaker 2: it so horrible to be in a car that you 1284 01:00:50,413 --> 01:00:53,173 Speaker 2: give up and try and get on a bus. I 1285 01:00:53,253 --> 01:00:56,293 Speaker 2: guess they haven't backed it up with a decent public transfer. 1286 01:00:56,413 --> 01:00:59,933 Speaker 2: But that's that's the basic argument, isn't it. Can someone 1287 01:00:59,973 --> 01:01:03,093 Speaker 2: explain to me why as like as zebra crossing. I mean, 1288 01:01:03,133 --> 01:01:05,373 Speaker 2: when I was at primary school, I put up my 1289 01:01:05,453 --> 01:01:07,293 Speaker 2: hand and asked a traffic cop that was the school 1290 01:01:07,333 --> 01:01:10,733 Speaker 2: of a police officer about a question about a zebra crossing, 1291 01:01:10,773 --> 01:01:12,613 Speaker 2: and I said, anyway, I think you're old enough to 1292 01:01:12,613 --> 01:01:15,613 Speaker 2: call them pedestrian crossings, not zebra crossing. Waw, yeah, he 1293 01:01:15,693 --> 01:01:16,093 Speaker 2: to me off. 1294 01:01:16,173 --> 01:01:18,493 Speaker 3: But anyway, patronizing anyway. 1295 01:01:18,253 --> 01:01:21,893 Speaker 2: All these years later, zebra crossings, why do they need 1296 01:01:21,973 --> 01:01:25,253 Speaker 2: to be raised.

Greg, you have attacked, 1360 01:04:36,573 --> 01:04:38,813 Speaker 2: You've attacked the shells to girl, have you. 1361 01:04:39,733 --> 01:04:41,733 Speaker 22: It was on one of my first trips to Paris 1362 01:04:41,773 --> 01:04:44,253 Speaker 22: in the eighties and eighty seven I moved to London 1363 01:04:44,333 --> 01:04:47,333 Speaker 22: and eighty eight when I lived in Israel. When I 1364 01:04:47,413 --> 01:04:49,133 Speaker 22: come back, I couldn't get back to the old freight 1365 01:04:49,293 --> 01:04:51,133 Speaker 22: rooms and I picked up a job in a pub 1366 01:04:51,213 --> 01:04:55,213 Speaker 22: driving express freight around the continent. And one of my 1367 01:04:55,293 --> 01:04:57,693 Speaker 22: first trips I've been in Belgium and the bosses to 1368 01:04:57,773 --> 01:04:59,613 Speaker 22: go to the load for you in Paris have never 1369 01:04:59,733 --> 01:05:02,213 Speaker 22: been there before, he said, fie, and that that was 1370 01:05:02,293 --> 01:05:06,053 Speaker 22: very rare assuring, And I ended up getting on the 1371 01:05:06,893 --> 01:05:09,573 Speaker 22: Auto roots a six or into Paris, which is six 1372 01:05:09,693 --> 01:05:12,973 Speaker 22: lanes and three day between tway and that encompasses the 1373 01:05:13,613 --> 01:05:16,653 Speaker 22: pure Frip, which is the rain road round Paris. Is 1374 01:05:16,773 --> 01:05:19,413 Speaker 22: three lanes each way above ground below ground. You know 1375 01:05:19,533 --> 01:05:21,293 Speaker 22: they had to run on out a petrol on it, 1376 01:05:21,693 --> 01:05:23,573 Speaker 22: and I think it's where Lady died was killed on 1377 01:05:23,693 --> 01:05:28,053 Speaker 22: one of the exits on that anyway, I came, I 1378 01:05:28,173 --> 01:05:30,013 Speaker 22: was trying to find directions and I come off and 1379 01:05:30,093 --> 01:05:32,653 Speaker 22: I did went down this big avenue. I went along 1380 01:05:32,733 --> 01:05:36,453 Speaker 22: and was really busy, and I was, you know, worried 1381 01:05:36,493 --> 01:05:38,733 Speaker 22: about with the traffic and everything. But I thought, oh well, 1382 01:05:38,733 --> 01:05:40,333 Speaker 22: I've got to get through. And then next minute I 1383 01:05:40,373 --> 01:05:43,213 Speaker 22: went around this big of the intersection and it was madness, 1384 01:05:43,573 --> 01:05:45,493 Speaker 22: and I looked up and the sort of tree off 1385 01:05:45,533 --> 01:05:49,413 Speaker 22: and I thought I said that before. And eventually I 1386 01:05:49,493 --> 01:05:52,333 Speaker 22: found my way. I got off it and I got 1387 01:05:52,373 --> 01:05:56,213 Speaker 22: off the right exit and asked the French Corp directions 1388 01:05:56,573 --> 01:05:59,533 Speaker 22: and then I went into a Ford dealers and he 1389 01:05:59,693 --> 01:06:01,533 Speaker 22: told me where I needed to go, and it was 1390 01:06:01,573 --> 01:06:04,893 Speaker 22: all down Hut. After that it was great. But going 1391 01:06:04,973 --> 01:06:07,373 Speaker 22: to Paris it sounds a bit blase. But going to 1392 01:06:07,453 --> 01:06:10,973 Speaker 22: Paris after a just became like going to rest Vegas. Yeah, 1393 01:06:11,093 --> 01:06:12,013 Speaker 22: you just got used to it. 1394 01:06:12,893 --> 01:06:13,093 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1395 01:06:13,213 --> 01:06:16,173 Speaker 2: So that's so that particular, that particular roundabout Greg it's 1396 01:06:16,253 --> 01:06:19,493 Speaker 2: got a space for twelve lanes, but especially back then, 1397 01:06:19,533 --> 01:06:21,773 Speaker 2: it didn't really have the lanes, did it. It's the 1398 01:06:21,893 --> 01:06:23,093 Speaker 2: lanes were really marked. 1399 01:06:24,373 --> 01:06:26,613 Speaker 22: Not back in eighty eight you just bought your way through. 1400 01:06:29,493 --> 01:06:31,693 Speaker 22: But I used to run down to lose a lot 1401 01:06:31,733 --> 01:06:34,453 Speaker 22: in the south of France to British Eurospace, and they 1402 01:06:34,533 --> 01:06:36,293 Speaker 22: had a role. I don't know if it's all France, 1403 01:06:36,413 --> 01:06:38,733 Speaker 22: but they had a rule that if you're on an 1404 01:06:38,773 --> 01:06:41,373 Speaker 22: intersection and someone wanted to follow they were going around, 1405 01:06:41,493 --> 01:06:43,853 Speaker 22: you had to allow them to come on instead of 1406 01:06:44,053 --> 01:06:46,773 Speaker 22: like here, you've got to wait and I'll tell you 1407 01:06:46,813 --> 01:06:48,773 Speaker 22: what else they do over You know how if you're 1408 01:06:48,813 --> 01:06:51,413 Speaker 22: in a red light and you're turning left or right 1409 01:06:52,173 --> 01:06:55,533 Speaker 22: and you can't always see the lights ahead. Over in France, 1410 01:06:56,053 --> 01:07:00,293 Speaker 22: they used to have lights at the same heights as 1411 01:07:00,333 --> 01:07:02,773 Speaker 22: the cars, so you can look out, you can see 1412 01:07:02,813 --> 01:07:05,813 Speaker 22: the arrow, you know where you're not obstracted for head. 1413 01:07:06,253 --> 01:07:09,493 Speaker 22: It's quite good. But the best, the best drivers on 1414 01:07:09,653 --> 01:07:12,453 Speaker 22: even struck ringless drivers and London drivers are the most 1415 01:07:12,573 --> 01:07:17,413 Speaker 22: courteous and they were just great. The nothingest were the 1416 01:07:17,533 --> 01:07:22,413 Speaker 22: Italians famously well. I used to go down to Italy 1417 01:07:22,493 --> 01:07:25,053 Speaker 22: and run next through the mom Blog tunnel that you 1418 01:07:25,173 --> 01:07:27,773 Speaker 22: have tunnel between Front and Italy. It's the one where 1419 01:07:27,813 --> 01:07:29,853 Speaker 22: they had the fire and what thirty five people were 1420 01:07:29,933 --> 01:07:32,893 Speaker 22: killed And I hated it in the ski season because 1421 01:07:33,293 --> 01:07:35,413 Speaker 22: you'll be in a line of trucks hitting it out. 1422 01:07:35,893 --> 01:07:38,573 Speaker 22: These they're the Italians, and the Italians are lovely people, 1423 01:07:38,653 --> 01:07:40,693 Speaker 22: don't get me wrong, but they'd overtake you on a 1424 01:07:40,733 --> 01:07:43,373 Speaker 22: blind corner the truck coming. 1425 01:07:46,493 --> 01:07:49,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely famously. And the other thing with the Italians. 1426 01:07:50,013 --> 01:07:53,173 Speaker 2: You know, if you're in Rome, people just leave their 1427 01:07:53,733 --> 01:07:57,693 Speaker 2: handbrake off because you sort of contact doesn't consider the 1428 01:07:57,733 --> 01:07:59,973 Speaker 2: worst thing in the world. So people just nudge their 1429 01:08:00,013 --> 01:08:01,933 Speaker 2: way in and you push, you push the car in 1430 01:08:01,973 --> 01:08:03,573 Speaker 2: front of you until you find a spot. You go 1431 01:08:03,653 --> 01:08:06,613 Speaker 2: back and forth. Yeah, but a bumper car, it's pretty cool. 1432 01:08:06,653 --> 01:08:10,253 Speaker 2: But yeah, go to Paris and finding yourself. I know, 1433 01:08:10,333 --> 01:08:12,013 Speaker 2: you're cruising down the Champ de Lisa and then you 1434 01:08:12,053 --> 01:08:16,932 Speaker 2: suddenly find yourself and a twelve lane roundabout without lanes 1435 01:08:17,293 --> 01:08:22,652 Speaker 2: around the Arctit challenging, I will say, but it's got 1436 01:08:22,733 --> 01:08:24,692 Speaker 2: nothing on or hockeyer, how's it? 1437 01:08:24,772 --> 01:08:28,732 Speaker 15: Scott O Hakier at the Air Force base, there's a 1438 01:08:28,812 --> 01:08:33,213 Speaker 15: very similar to the Atier Road going into Owington State Highway. 1439 01:08:33,412 --> 01:08:36,253 Speaker 15: Must be I can't be set one, but anyway, so 1440 01:08:36,372 --> 01:08:39,892 Speaker 15: the main reason they bought this multi roundabout two lanes. 1441 01:08:40,293 --> 01:08:42,852 Speaker 15: There's main freight and the same as Ohaki. The main 1442 01:08:42,893 --> 01:08:44,812 Speaker 15: reason there was an Air Force bace. But if you're 1443 01:08:44,812 --> 01:08:47,533 Speaker 15: a traveling south and both directs both of those roundabouts, 1444 01:08:48,173 --> 01:08:50,293 Speaker 15: they made it so you have to join the roundabout 1445 01:08:50,652 --> 01:08:52,732 Speaker 15: where they could have actually made the left lane carry 1446 01:08:52,812 --> 01:08:55,772 Speaker 15: on through and don't join the roundabout. Does that make sense? 1447 01:08:55,933 --> 01:08:58,012 Speaker 3: Is this on the state highway? Isn't it? State highway? 1448 01:08:58,053 --> 01:09:00,692 Speaker 3: Balls to get to is getting south? 1449 01:09:00,973 --> 01:09:03,253 Speaker 15: Yep, they only did it for the air Force base, 1450 01:09:03,372 --> 01:09:05,973 Speaker 15: but they make both lanes join the roundabout and not 1451 01:09:06,053 --> 01:09:08,812 Speaker 15: everyone's going to a Harker of course, same as the 1452 01:09:08,853 --> 01:09:15,612 Speaker 15: main freight one a try. They actually bought around an island, 1453 01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:17,412 Speaker 15: so you had to go onto the roundabout rather than 1454 01:09:17,492 --> 01:09:19,892 Speaker 15: just going straight down the fence line where the freights 1455 01:09:20,772 --> 01:09:22,253 Speaker 15: and just don't enter the roundabout. 1456 01:09:22,253 --> 01:09:24,093 Speaker 3: If it makes sense, I don't understand how it works 1457 01:09:24,133 --> 01:09:26,452 Speaker 3: for me. I'm just having a look at the map here. 1458 01:09:26,692 --> 01:09:29,612 Speaker 3: So if you're coming out of the Air Force base 1459 01:09:29,692 --> 01:09:32,732 Speaker 3: and you want to try and to right you Bulls go, 1460 01:09:32,893 --> 01:09:33,933 Speaker 3: Bulls go. 1461 01:09:34,013 --> 01:09:38,452 Speaker 23: From Bulls and head south Wellington for example, or Farmerston North. 1462 01:09:39,333 --> 01:09:43,173 Speaker 23: They made both lanes join the roundabout. Oh there's no 1463 01:09:43,293 --> 01:09:45,412 Speaker 23: there's no left turn. There's no left turn, so the 1464 01:09:45,492 --> 01:09:47,452 Speaker 23: left lane should have just avoided the roundabout and gone 1465 01:09:47,492 --> 01:09:47,932 Speaker 23: straight through. 1466 01:09:48,692 --> 01:09:51,252 Speaker 3: Yeah, see what you're saying, And then you complicated. 1467 01:09:51,372 --> 01:09:53,772 Speaker 15: You could have kept your speed. There's no giveaway, there's 1468 01:09:53,772 --> 01:09:55,572 Speaker 15: no nothing. It's just another lane going straight through and 1469 01:09:55,652 --> 01:09:56,852 Speaker 15: if you want to go to hack, you go on 1470 01:09:56,893 --> 01:09:57,333 Speaker 15: the right lane. 1471 01:09:58,093 --> 01:09:59,852 Speaker 2: Yeah right, No, I see what you're saying there. 1472 01:09:59,933 --> 01:10:00,852 Speaker 15: It's just an idea. 1473 01:10:01,173 --> 01:10:03,053 Speaker 4: Yeah, speed dump. 1474 01:10:03,093 --> 01:10:05,253 Speaker 15: Sorry killer apparently labored did. One of the council of 1475 01:10:05,293 --> 01:10:07,572 Speaker 15: the local councilors said that labor paid for it, not 1476 01:10:07,652 --> 01:10:09,812 Speaker 15: the council. I'm complaining about the speed bumps we've got 1477 01:10:09,853 --> 01:10:12,173 Speaker 15: on pedestrian crossings and I've never had a problem of 1478 01:10:12,213 --> 01:10:13,412 Speaker 15: stopping at pedestrian crossings. 1479 01:10:13,812 --> 01:10:14,012 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1480 01:10:14,333 --> 01:10:16,412 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I just don't understand why possessing and 1481 01:10:16,452 --> 01:10:18,732 Speaker 2: crossing would be raised. I mean, you have to stop 1482 01:10:18,812 --> 01:10:20,812 Speaker 2: before you get you know, the speed needs to be 1483 01:10:21,053 --> 01:10:22,293 Speaker 2: checked before you get there. 1484 01:10:22,333 --> 01:10:24,572 Speaker 3: It's already a crossing zebra crossing, as you say, and 1485 01:10:24,893 --> 01:10:26,532 Speaker 3: there's no need to have it elevated. 1486 01:10:26,652 --> 01:10:29,092 Speaker 2: The last time I went to or hockey at Airbase, 1487 01:10:30,253 --> 01:10:32,293 Speaker 2: I was traveling down on one of those beach craft 1488 01:10:32,532 --> 01:10:37,213 Speaker 2: and they did a they did something called a matt 1489 01:10:37,253 --> 01:10:38,612 Speaker 2: what's it called. They had a name for it. It 1490 01:10:38,692 --> 01:10:40,932 Speaker 2: was it was so cool.

Yeah, break sounds very cool. 1498 01:10:55,452 --> 01:10:55,812 Speaker 3: I'll tell you. 1499 01:10:55,812 --> 01:10:56,973 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what a buzz and break is. 1500 01:10:57,053 --> 01:11:00,732 Speaker 3: Soon and someone sticks through. Try the original Magic roundabout 1501 01:11:00,812 --> 01:11:04,172 Speaker 3: in Swindon. In the UK, mini roundabouts feed the main roundabout. 1502 01:11:04,293 --> 01:11:07,572 Speaker 3: You can go both ways around it. And I've just 1503 01:11:07,652 --> 01:11:10,293 Speaker 3: had a look at picture of the Magic Roundabout in Swindon. 1504 01:11:10,492 --> 01:11:14,172 Speaker 3: It looks insane. It looks absolutely diabolical. I can't understand 1505 01:11:14,213 --> 01:11:17,492 Speaker 3: what the hell is going on with this magic roundabout. 1506 01:11:17,612 --> 01:11:21,452 Speaker 2: So it's a roundabout, but it's also got traffic islands. 1507 01:11:21,492 --> 01:11:23,492 Speaker 3: Scattered around it with various sizes. 1508 01:11:23,812 --> 01:11:24,012 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1509 01:11:24,732 --> 01:11:27,932 Speaker 2: See, Americans get completely freaked out by a roundabout roundabouts 1510 01:11:27,933 --> 01:11:28,892 Speaker 2: because they just don't have them. 1511 01:11:28,973 --> 01:11:29,173 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1512 01:11:29,372 --> 01:11:31,652 Speaker 2: You know, there's actually one town that's become the roundabout 1513 01:11:31,692 --> 01:11:34,973 Speaker 2: capital of the United States, coming with the name of 1514 01:11:34,973 --> 01:11:37,892 Speaker 2: the town. But it's like Hamilton and New Zealand. Hey boys, 1515 01:11:37,973 --> 01:11:39,852 Speaker 2: I lived in Moscow and there is a road there 1516 01:11:39,933 --> 01:11:42,932 Speaker 2: called the Garden Ring, which is five lanes both ways 1517 01:11:43,013 --> 01:11:47,013 Speaker 2: and effectively a giant roundabout that goes around the central city. 1518 01:11:47,093 --> 01:11:49,692 Speaker 2: Russians being as they are, the five lanes turned into 1519 01:11:49,692 --> 01:11:51,852 Speaker 2: about ten or more and to drive on it was 1520 01:11:52,372 --> 01:11:54,692 Speaker 2: chaos where the use of the horn was common when 1521 01:11:54,772 --> 01:11:58,133 Speaker 2: people suddenly moved into your lane a quick route and 1522 01:11:58,492 --> 01:12:01,412 Speaker 2: they would move back.

This is from 2129 01:40:51,732 --> 01:40:56,213 Speaker 2: Jurassic Park three from two thousand and one. 2130 01:40:59,333 --> 01:41:00,772 Speaker 7: Even with what I could you. 2131 01:41:00,812 --> 01:41:02,892 Speaker 2: Afford a better bag?

Sam 2139 01:41:22,772 --> 01:41:26,452 Speaker 2: Nil's on the plane, So they've added it to the 2140 01:41:26,572 --> 01:41:29,333 Speaker 2: movie to because Sam Nil's there to chat Tom. So 2141 01:41:29,412 --> 01:41:30,812 Speaker 2: I don't think that counts as a big up for 2142 01:41:30,853 --> 01:41:34,412 Speaker 2: New Zealand.

If you care okay. 2157 01:42:10,612 --> 01:42:14,733 Speaker 1: Your home of afternoon Talk Mad Heathen Taylor Adams Afternoons, 2158 01:42:15,013 --> 01:42:18,253 Speaker 1: call eight hundred eighty News Talk ZEDB. 2159 01:42:19,893 --> 01:42:22,333 Speaker 3: News Talks EDB. We are talking about when we've been 2160 01:42:22,452 --> 01:42:25,372 Speaker 3: named hipped as in New Zealand, US as a country 2161 01:42:25,412 --> 01:42:27,612 Speaker 3: being named chicken movies and TV shows, we love it. 2162 01:42:27,933 --> 01:42:30,492 Speaker 2: It kind of doesn't fit. But the reason why I 2163 01:42:30,572 --> 01:42:33,372 Speaker 2: brought this up was because I watched the episode of 2164 01:42:33,612 --> 01:42:38,253 Speaker 2: Conan and Bryan Must Must Go, fantastic TV show, but 2165 01:42:39,412 --> 01:42:43,572 Speaker 2: the most recent episode sit in New Zealand, and it's very, very, 2166 01:42:43,692 --> 01:42:46,173 Speaker 2: very funny. But there's just something about and you get 2167 01:42:46,213 --> 01:42:49,932 Speaker 2: this when you're coming home from being overseas or when 2168 01:42:50,053 --> 01:42:52,933 Speaker 2: you see a New Zealand to turn up on a 2169 01:42:53,652 --> 01:42:56,732 Speaker 2: on an overseas show with the New Zealand accent. You know, 2170 01:42:56,772 --> 01:42:58,213 Speaker 2: when you first get on the in New Zealand plane 2171 01:42:58,253 --> 01:42:59,692 Speaker 2: to come home and you first hear the New Zealand 2172 01:42:59,732 --> 01:43:01,492 Speaker 2: accent for the first time, if you've been away for 2173 01:43:01,532 --> 01:43:03,972 Speaker 2: a while, you watch the news, the New Zealand accent 2174 01:43:04,173 --> 01:43:06,652 Speaker 2: sounds so funny when you haven't heard it for a while. Yeah, 2175 01:43:08,372 --> 01:43:10,732 Speaker 2: you can start to understand why people think it is. 2176 01:43:10,933 --> 01:43:13,093 Speaker 2: It is a ridiculous things. 2177 01:43:13,173 --> 01:43:15,652 Speaker 3: But even in US TV shows where you don't expect it, 2178 01:43:15,772 --> 01:43:18,772 Speaker 3: like The White Lotus for example, with the New Zealand actress, 2179 01:43:19,053 --> 01:43:21,013 Speaker 3: and I didn't realize she was from New Zealand when 2180 01:43:21,013 --> 01:43:22,772 Speaker 3: I started watching. Then I heard that exit and I'm like, 2181 01:43:23,133 --> 01:43:24,892 Speaker 3: maybe maybe she's from New Zealand. 2182 01:43:25,053 --> 01:43:29,612 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's her name again? She's a good actress. Yeah, 2183 01:43:29,692 --> 01:43:32,532 Speaker 2: and there's actually Animal Control. Have you seen that TV 2184 01:43:32,612 --> 01:43:33,732 Speaker 2: show Animal Control? 2185 01:43:33,853 --> 01:43:34,412 Speaker 3: I haven't known. 2186 01:43:35,333 --> 01:43:38,852 Speaker 2: It's an American TV show, I think since the third season. 2187 01:43:38,933 --> 01:43:42,052 Speaker 2: But it stars Joe McHale you'll probably know from Soup 2188 01:43:42,293 --> 01:43:46,892 Speaker 2: or from Community. But Grace Palmer, who is Jason Gunn's daughter, Yes, 2189 01:43:47,053 --> 01:43:49,612 Speaker 2: stars in it, but she stars in the show as 2190 01:43:49,732 --> 01:43:52,652 Speaker 2: a New Zealander. She's really really she's really really good 2191 01:43:52,692 --> 01:43:55,572 Speaker 2: in it. And I enjoy Animal Control. It's a really 2192 01:43:55,612 --> 01:43:59,412 Speaker 2: cool show. But when she comes just messes with your mind. 2193 01:43:59,452 --> 01:44:02,732 Speaker 2: It's like the dimensions are bending because you're hearing a 2194 01:44:02,772 --> 01:44:06,532 Speaker 2: New Zealand accient where it shouldn't be, and it sounds weird, 2195 01:44:06,652 --> 01:44:09,972 Speaker 2: but it sounds normal like home, but it sounds alien. 2196 01:44:10,053 --> 01:44:11,532 Speaker 2: It's really interesting and. 2197 01:44:11,572 --> 01:44:13,732 Speaker 3: I just had to look up morgana O'Reilly was. 2198 01:44:15,253 --> 01:44:18,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, And people are mentioning The Hateful Eight and Zoe 2199 01:44:18,812 --> 01:44:21,652 Speaker 2: what's her name is it? Zoe Zoey Bell or the 2200 01:44:21,692 --> 01:44:24,732 Speaker 2: New Zealand stunt woman. She's a fantastic human being and 2201 01:44:24,853 --> 01:44:26,973 Speaker 2: she she's good friends with Quentin Tarantino ends up in 2202 01:44:27,053 --> 01:44:28,492 Speaker 2: quite a few of his movies. Yeah, I think she 2203 01:44:28,572 --> 01:44:30,253 Speaker 2: was in was a Death Proof of What as well. 2204 01:44:30,812 --> 01:44:34,532 Speaker 2: But she's so funny. And The Hateful Eight when she 2205 01:44:34,692 --> 01:44:37,892 Speaker 2: just bast blasts into the cabin and starts saying really 2206 01:44:38,053 --> 01:44:39,572 Speaker 2: historically inaccurate stuff about. 2207 01:44:41,133 --> 01:44:41,372 Speaker 4: Mark. 2208 01:44:42,133 --> 01:44:44,532 Speaker 3: What's what's the reference that you want to talk about? 2209 01:44:45,372 --> 01:44:46,133 Speaker 6: Yeah, goody guys. 2210 01:44:47,133 --> 01:44:49,253 Speaker 4: Yeah, we get to mention in. 2211 01:44:50,933 --> 01:44:56,293 Speaker 19: The second of the trilogy, the girl, the girl with 2212 01:44:56,372 --> 01:45:00,692 Speaker 19: the Begon tattoo, the girl who played with Fire, the 2213 01:45:00,853 --> 01:45:07,053 Speaker 19: Swedish actress.

I can't rely what it was 2322 01:50:05,933 --> 01:50:11,813 Speaker 4: called reporting early about the assassination. 2323 01:50:12,133 --> 01:50:17,692 Speaker 3: That's right, We're all about a conspiracy theory that we're 2324 01:50:17,772 --> 01:50:18,213 Speaker 3: involved in. 2325 01:50:18,532 --> 01:50:20,893 Speaker 2: So the idea was that they must have had a 2326 01:50:21,013 --> 01:50:24,772 Speaker 2: heads up in advance, because they had information that JFK 2327 01:50:24,933 --> 01:50:27,053 Speaker 2: was going to get shot in little old christ Church 2328 01:50:27,213 --> 01:50:28,692 Speaker 2: before it actually happened. 2329 01:50:29,412 --> 01:50:29,852 Speaker 5: We went. 2330 01:50:31,253 --> 01:50:33,972 Speaker 4: I've never thought to actually check it out to see 2331 01:50:33,973 --> 01:50:37,572 Speaker 4: if it's true, because just on a timeline, it could 2332 01:50:37,652 --> 01:50:40,253 Speaker 4: be true. Yeah, I'm not saying it is. 2333 01:50:42,412 --> 01:50:46,773 Speaker 2: Something sounds it sounds like one of those confusing conspiracy 2334 01:50:46,893 --> 01:50:51,053 Speaker 2: theories that with the time zone. So it appears there 2335 01:50:51,093 --> 01:50:53,213 Speaker 2: could be something.

Yeah, 2351 01:51:34,412 --> 01:51:38,852 Speaker 4: you know, as a way of discrediting witnesses and people 2352 01:51:38,973 --> 01:51:39,893 Speaker 4: who were looking. 2353 01:51:40,893 --> 01:51:42,012 Speaker 5: Yeah oh truth. 2354 01:51:42,452 --> 01:51:42,652 Speaker 19: Yeah. 2355 01:51:42,692 --> 01:51:45,013 Speaker 2: Well I was disappointing because you know, Trump got in 2356 01:51:45,093 --> 01:51:47,132 Speaker 2: and said we're going to release all the JFK files, 2357 01:51:47,133 --> 01:51:48,612 Speaker 2: and they did release most of them, but there was 2358 01:51:48,652 --> 01:51:51,093 Speaker 2: nothing that interesting in them that poured over too much. 2359 01:51:51,213 --> 01:51:51,852 Speaker 3: What a let down. 2360 01:51:51,893 --> 01:51:54,213 Speaker 2: But you did get the line from that JFK film 2361 01:51:54,452 --> 01:51:56,812 Speaker 2: back and to the left, back and to the left. 2362 01:51:57,053 --> 01:51:57,253 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2363 01:51:57,412 --> 01:51:58,652 Speaker 3: I've just looked it up as well. So it was 2364 01:51:58,692 --> 01:52:01,812 Speaker 3: a Christy Star. New Zealand newspaper has been associated with 2365 01:52:01,893 --> 01:52:04,892 Speaker 3: the assassination assassination of John F. Kennedy due to claims 2366 01:52:05,053 --> 01:52:08,972 Speaker 3: that it's cover of the events, particularly on front page 2367 01:52:08,973 --> 01:52:12,973 Speaker 3: of November twenty third, nineteen sixty three, might contain prepackaged 2368 01:52:13,013 --> 01:52:16,253 Speaker 3: information or evidence of a conspiracy. Some theory suggest the 2369 01:52:16,293 --> 01:52:20,732 Speaker 3: paper's coverage of Lee Harvey Oswald's background was suspiciously fast. 2370 01:52:21,333 --> 01:52:21,492 Speaker 22: Hm. 2371 01:52:22,053 --> 01:52:26,893 Speaker 3: Well, but again because it was a misinterpret would dates. 2372 01:52:26,692 --> 01:52:28,973 Speaker 2: Well, what would be the advantage in having a prepackage 2373 01:52:29,013 --> 01:52:32,013 Speaker 2: of the information?
