What we need is, are are you sure 15 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: we know what we are doing before we rush into 16 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: this catalog or guide? So the EV story might turn 17 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: out to be one of the worlds And certainly the 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: transport industry's biggest headaches is company after company admit they 19 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: leapt and way too quick to electric brought into all 20 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: the government led madness on climate and invested god knows 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: how much to transfer to a mode of movement. The 22 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: world wasn't ready for or wanted. Evs were sold as 23 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 2: a well way more than they ever were, and now 24 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: even the scientists are waking up. We've got a very 25 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: good piece of reading I'd recommend to you from doctor 26 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: Carolyn Shaw, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 27 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: whereby they do what we really should have done at 28 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: the start. They look at the ev in totality. Don't 29 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: get all hyped and hooked up on emissions. I mean, yes, 30 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: emissions in an EVV petrol debate drop, but what about 31 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 2: the rest of it? They looked at all sorts of things. 32 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: The extra weight for example, therefore the extra wear and tear, 33 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: the weight and therefore the potential for injury if you 34 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: get hit by something way heavier. The cheapness of driving, 35 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 2: therefore you drive more. Therefore our fitness drops as we 36 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: drive and don't walk. Myriad of things that should have 37 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: been thought about and scoped on day one, and weigh up. 38 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: Because here's the end result when you add all that 39 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: stuff up, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Electrifying 40 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: cars would lie somewhere, she says, between harmful and neutral? 41 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: Are you serious? 42 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: Harmful? 43 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: Going electric could be harmful. Would it have not been 44 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: useful to a few of those ideas to understand right 45 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: at the start before the subsession took off, Or like 46 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: so much ideology, do the details not really matter as 47 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: long as we can leap on the old bandwagon, take 48 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: a small piece of the bigger picture of Milcote for all, 49 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 2: it's worth knowing that we can leave the reality and 50 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 2: the clean up for another day. This, by the way, 51 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: is not anti ev It's just simply the realization that, 52 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: like most things in life these days, what was the 53 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: answer was the obsession was the next new thing actually 54 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: turns out to be just another piece in a way bigger, 55 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: more complex picture than the obsessive ever care to learn about? 56 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: What news of the world in ninety seconds. 57 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: Jury after yesterday, telling us they had intractable views on 58 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: both sides, settled their differences and gave us not guilty 59 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: on trafficking but guilty on the rest. 60 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 5: Of course, we would have liked to have seen a 61 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 5: conviction on the sex crimes and Rico, but we understand 62 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 5: that the unreasonable doubt is a high standard, and we're 63 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 5: just pleased that that he still faces substantial judt. 64 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: Not all the legal profession. 65 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 6: We're happy. 66 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 7: I guess the jury felt if if you consented at 67 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 7: the beginning, you can't revoke it. And that's an old 68 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 7: way of thinking. That's definitely not a way of thinking 69 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 7: during the Me Too movement. But we're now living in 70 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 7: a post Meto environment. 71 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: Here's his former publicist. 72 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 8: He was our Generations bonum. 73 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 9: He put on a show. Wherever he went, it was 74 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 9: a production. 75 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: He's one of the most charming people you will effa 76 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: effa meet. 77 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: That sounds a lot Richard Quist, but it isn't. As 78 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: the jail time could be interesting. 79 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 10: Little mister Combes was acquitted of these the charge of 80 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 10: rico and the charge of sex trafficking. The judge can 81 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 10: nonetheless consider the evidence that was presented by the prosecution 82 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 10: in those two instances and can use that against mister Combes. 83 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: Up north in Washington, the houses back and forthing on 84 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: the Big Beautiful Bill. A lot of attension and potential fallout. 85 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: Of course, next year when America gets to vote. 86 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 11: In many ways, this feels like a flashback to the 87 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 11: twenty eighteen campaign cycle. At that time, you know, Trump 88 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 11: was in his first term and facing his first midterm, 89 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 11: and at that time the main issues that the Democrats 90 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 11: looked to push in the midterms were taxes and healthcare. 91 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Donald's Almighty loon, by the wise, had another bad quarter. 92 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: Deliveries tanked again, shears down again. Reputation the issue. 93 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 12: Tessa has waffled on its plans to make more affordable 94 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 12: vehicles over the last few years. I mean Musk preferred 95 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 12: going down the road of doing the cyber truck, and 96 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 12: especially the higher end of the cyber truck. Remember that 97 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 12: was supposed to cost forty thousand dollars. We haven't seen 98 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 12: any price close to that. 99 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: Finally, hold the salami. Researchers have a study, or well 100 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: it's a study of studies, lots of studies the relationship 101 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: between process meat, sugary drinks, and transpati acids. The conclusion 102 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: is there is no safe amount of process meat you 103 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: can eat. No safe amount, even a small amount is 104 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: linked to an increase now in developing type two diabetes, 105 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: heart disease, or choloryctal cancer. I mean, wash it down 106 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: with the cocin the donut. You may as well build 107 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: your own coffins. Afews of the World of ninety ye 108 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty four thousand deliveries. This is globally 109 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: second quarter fourteen percent decline, a second straight quarterly decline. 110 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 2: Shares are down twenty six percent so far this year. Trump, 111 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: by the way, has also announced a deal on Vietnam. 112 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: This is a trade deal. They've settled on twenty percent. 113 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: He's claiming the US get terror free access to Vietnam. 114 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: Vietnam pays twenty percent. If you try and shuffle something 115 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: through Vietnam from another country, Vietnam starts paying forty percent. 116 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 2: So it seems like a reasonable deal from the American's 117 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: point of view. Twelve past six. 118 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 119 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: by News Talk. 120 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 6: ZEP very much. 121 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: Looking forward to catch up with Rod later on this morning. 122 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 2: Rachel reeves, if you've missed it in PMQ's was in tears. 123 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: So this is all on live television. It was a 124 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 2: market mover, and so the bond rate went up and 125 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 2: the yield went up, and they can't afford that to 126 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: happen anyway. So there's some genuine concern about what the 127 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: hell is going on. They're not calming. They say it's 128 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 2: a personal matter, but there's some dispute around that. But 129 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 2: you can't have the Minister of Finance, the Chancellor bawling 130 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: their eyes out at PMQ's and everyone pretending nothing's happening. 131 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: So more later fifteen past six, are back from Jemo 132 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: World to Andrew Keller had good morning, very good morning, Mike. 133 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: If Canterbury ain't firing, no one's firing. What the hell 134 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: is going on here? 135 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 6: I don't know. 136 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 13: Hey, before we go into that, that couple of things, 137 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 13: remember twenty twenty two Liz Truss bond vigilantes, bond market 138 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 13: sold off, sunk the government and the second thing yet 139 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 13: gave those Tesla numbers there how many cars did by dsail. 140 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: More than Tesla is my six. 141 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 8: Hundred and seven thousand in the quarter. 142 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 6: So there you go. 143 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 8: Anyway, Yes, we can't have this. 144 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 6: We can't. 145 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 13: As you know, we've been spooking the Canterbury region as 146 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 13: a sort of shining light in New zeal necklong landscape 147 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 13: for months. You know, it's been christ it's been the 148 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 13: number one city and we've talked ad nauseum about this, 149 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 13: but is the shine coming off? Look, we know Christ 150 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 13: it's just sort of buoyed by the aggre sector. We 151 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 13: know places like Auckland are less directly impacted and I 152 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 13: was that make me think about Hamilton. 153 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 6: We should look into Hamilton. 154 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 13: Surely the tron should be getting some of that dairy 155 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 13: halo effect as well. Anyway, two weeks ago Canterbury swept 156 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 13: the table in ASB Regional Economic scorecard. 157 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 6: For Q one. 158 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 13: But Business Canterbury put out a pressure release yesterday saying 159 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 13: that business confidence has peaked, peaked last December. Now it's flatlining, 160 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 13: so the upward trajectory has not continued, So what's going on? 161 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 6: They don't actually give. 162 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 13: The actual numbers in the release, but even in Canterbury 163 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 13: they say that consumer confidence in demand has been slower 164 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 13: to rebound and anticipate it. 165 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 6: It is still positive. 166 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 13: Fifty nine percent of business that are expecting to hire 167 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 13: staff in the next twelve months, which is pretty good, 168 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 13: and sixty percent expecting them to invest in property, plant 169 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 13: and equipment. That lifted from the previous quarter. But come on, 170 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 13: we can't have Canoe Wilton, honest can we. 171 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: No next thing it will be the farmers will be 172 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: in trouble.

Unfortunately we didn't We're looking at New Zealand. 181 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 13: But yeah, Barfton Thompson numbers for June. 182 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 8: There's a bit of a glass half full, glass half. 183 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 13: Empty thing going on here depending on your proclivity. Sales 184 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 13: numbers are down versus May, but price is a little 185 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 13: bit better. Now we know that Auckland area has been 186 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 13: a bit of an anchor at the moment in terms 187 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 13: of dragging. 188 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 6: Down national house price figures. 189 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 13: Barfend and Thompson, the Auckland's biggest agency's sold eight hundred 190 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 13: and seventy six properties in June, well down from May. 191 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 13: There are seasonal factors there, started winter and all of that. 192 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 13: What is interesting though is that's twenty nine percent higher 193 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 13: than June last year and prices have firmed up, so 194 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 13: the average price four percent higher than May. 195 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 6: It is quite a bit lower than last year. 196 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 13: Now it's not a huge sample sized composition issues there, 197 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 13: but interesting nonetheless, But the data that they released yesterday high. 198 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 13: It's the main issue in the housing market moment. That 199 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 13: is supply for the June month in ventry for Baft 200 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 13: and Thomson at the highest level for a June month 201 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 13: since two thousand and eight, seventeen years. 202 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 6: That will take a while to budge right now. 203 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 8: The plus side of that those that buyers have. 204 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 6: Options, don't they Yes, they do. 205 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 2: And because of July four, we're going to get these 206 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: non farm payrolls, which is critical. 207 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 13: Yeah, there's look, we normally get non farm payrolls. We 208 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 13: normally sort of missed this number because it's always released 209 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 13: on a Friday when we've packed up and we've left 210 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 13: for the working week, so we have reviewed on a Monday. 211 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 13: But because Friday is July the fourth big day for 212 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 13: our American friends, big holiday, so they're releasing non finn 213 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 13: players a day earlier. It's important, particularly pointed this month 214 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 13: because the focus on the fair Trump's insistems that power 215 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 13: drops rates. Laby Marker is a key part of that puzzle. 216 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: Now. 217 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 13: Earlier this week, my job openings came out surprise to 218 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 13: the upside which indicates the job marker is a bit 219 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 13: stronger than inspected. But then last night the look the 220 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 13: ADP employment report, which sorts of the private sector hiring 221 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 13: is contracted quite sharply. 222 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 6: That was a big miss to the downside. 223 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 13: Private payrolls lost thirty three thousand jobs economs respecting one 224 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 13: hundred thousand dollars lift so way off. 225 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 8: So it's becoming really much harder to call non farm payrolls. 226 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 6: There's a bit of mystery about tonight. 227 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: Interesting. 228 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 13: One of the numbers dal Jones is down twenty five points, 229 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 13: which is not much forty four thousand, four hundred and 230 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 13: sixty eight.

So but Steppan's contract to 286 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: bringing up to Speedies with Red Bull, of course, it 287 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 2: ends in twenty eight. There is a clause apparently that 288 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: says that he's not the top four of the Driver's 289 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: Championship by the summer break that's coming up in a 290 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: couple of weeks, then he's out or can leave his 291 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: third currently didn't get any points last weekend because Antonelli 292 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: drove into him. Russell George Mercedes last weekend decided to 293 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 2: tell the world that his contract, which is up at 294 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: the end of the year, hasn't been sorted yet because 295 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: Toto's having a word with Max. So everyone went on Hello. 296 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: Toto says, yes, we're talking to Max, but resigning George 297 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: as a matter of when, not if. Horner Red Bull 298 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 2: seys there's a lot of noise going on here, which 299 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: is true. But they're very clear about the contract with Max. Well, 300 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 2: I'm sure they're clear about it, just doesn't mean that 301 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: Max has to stay anyway. The Italian media this morning 302 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: says Max has told Mercedes he wants to move to 303 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: them enter Martin Brundle. 304 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 14: What do we know that's factual? Well, George Russell has 305 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 14: not been announced for next year and that's highly unusual 306 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 14: because he's doing a brilliant job for Mercedes Band. He's 307 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 14: picked up the mantle beautifully after Lewis Hamilton's exit, So 308 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 14: for him to be hanging there still without clarity as 309 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 14: we head into the halfway Paul at the British Grand 310 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 14: Prix is unusual. I think called the contract recognition board 311 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 14: in Formula One, where everybody's contract is lodged centrally in 312 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 14: Switzerland and any disputes are handled like that. But you know, 313 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 14: can you keep an unhappy driver in the seat? Max 314 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 14: comes with a little bit of baggage. It's not the 315 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 14: easiest group to handle and say he's broken. He's broken 316 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 14: his teammates, so you know, if you're running a Formula 317 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 14: One team and verstappens in the marketplace, you've got to 318 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 14: consider hiring him. 319 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: Exactly. It's funny that because my contract's held centrally in 320 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: Switzerland as well. 321 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 4: Thought, you've also broken your teammates. 322 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: Unique to me, but clearly not other thing.

So there were a 342 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: few people going, Oh Jesus, I wonder what this means. 343 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: So her argument is, and I think she's probably right. 344 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: At this particular time of the year, the US still 345 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: got a lot of products, the old supply demand equations working. 346 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: Europe have got some products in the marketplace, but they're 347 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: going out of season, so in other words, their product 348 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: input will drop as ours peaks, so in other words, 349 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: will swap it out. Therefore, she's still bullish on this 350 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: season's ten dollars per kilo. So I think we'll take 351 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: that way. We twenty three to seven. You've got a 352 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: lot of weather or a little Joe McKenna, there's a 353 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: lot of heat there, and we got some other issues 354 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: to deal with improving exports and jobs in the July 355 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: ninth deadline, which I note over the weekend Trump said 356 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: July nine, Did I say July whatever? Anyway, So they're 357 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: hanging their hat on that one. So Joe's with a 358 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: shortly meantime back here housing market update for you, by 359 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: the way, this is Jason held the way for the 360 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: Nashville housing market update for you. We've got life in 361 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: June zero point two percent up tick that off sets 362 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: falls in April and May big one has been towering 363 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: on christ Dutch among others. Kelvin Davidson as courtallity his 364 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: chief property economist, and it's back with us Calvin Morning, 365 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: Good Morning, Main Center is more up than down, Daneeden, 366 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: Hamilton towering and christ Church. Is this bullish for Metro 367 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: New Zealand or are we getting a bit excited there? 368 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 15: Well? 369 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 16: I mean in some way it's a bit of payback 370 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 16: for a week of months last month. So I think 371 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 16: it's just more of the same really, but up down 372 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 16: overall feely flat when you average it out. 373 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: Indeed, should we be looking not taking anything away from 374 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: the very good work you do. Should we be looking 375 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 2: at monthly numbers or quarterly numbers or yearly numbers to 376 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: get a broader read, because you must have some noise 377 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: in a monthly number, mustn't you. 378 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm tending to look at the three months comparison 379 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 16: right now. I think that's probably the more representative because 380 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 16: it is just a bit patchy. But Verigal mean an 381 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 16: annual comparison is probably a bit long because it depends 382 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 16: on which period you're looking back to a year ago, 383 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 16: whether it was strong in a week. So I think 384 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 16: three months are a good measure of what's going on 385 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 16: right now. 386 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: What happens next week? Do you think do we have 387 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: another conversation around the R But it seems increasingly likely 388 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 2: they're not going to do anything. So this whole mortgages 389 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: are coming down, they're still cutting. Thing suddenly takes another turn, 390 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 391 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, I think they'll probably hold the OCA 392 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 16: next week, but there may well be a cup coming 393 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 16: in August, so I think there's still more to come 394 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 16: on that. But the pass through to mortgage rates could 395 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 16: be fairly limited because the banks have probably already acted 396 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 16: ahead of there anyway. But I guess in terms of 397 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 16: passed through, there's also an issue that people are focusing 398 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 16: on with a lot of people out there on their 399 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 16: existing mortgages are currently still paying about six percent coverage, 400 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 16: so there is still a pass through to come as 401 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 16: people get down towards five. Now what they choose to 402 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 16: do with that money is another thing. They might save it, 403 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 16: they might reduce the term of their loans, so it 404 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 16: might not necessarily slow through to the market. 405 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: Are there individual stories in markets like fung arraise up 406 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 2: why versus Queenstown which is up? And I can tell 407 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: you that because it's beautiful and tourism and all that 408 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. So it depends where you look. 409 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 16: Yeah, it does and again in the month or months 410 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 16: and becomes part of it. I think fung Aray, for example, 411 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 16: had a couple of weekly months prior to this. So 412 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 16: it is a bit a bit variable. I mean, you 413 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 16: can probably point a little bit to a story of 414 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 16: kind of region, a bit more growth in regions where 415 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 16: maybe dairy farming is still going fairly well. But I 416 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 16: think in generally the big common factors lots of listings, week, 417 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 16: labor market. Yeah, those things are really the key restraints. 418 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: Its longer listings that the houses and I follow some 419 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: of them been stuck there for a very very long 420 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 2: period of time. Is that what's brought about the large 421 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: number of so called listings. In other words, you've got 422 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: your fresh and turnover, but you've also got houses that have 423 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 2: been there for you know, a year, if not towards 424 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 2: two years now. 425 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 16: Yeah, and we sort of loosely refer to that a 426 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 16: stale stop. You know, people have looked at it a 427 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 16: couple of times and you know, going, no, I'm not 428 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 16: I'm not buying that. 429 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 15: The vendor's not budget on. 430 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 16: Price, So you know, you could argue that's maybe not 431 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 16: really on the market. But yeah, there are still a 432 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 16: lot of listings, but we are getting back to a 433 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 16: position now where sales are more normal, so then we 434 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 16: will see their listings overhead start to fall. But you know, 435 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 16: it could be slow progress. I think it's it's still 436 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 16: a biased market for while. 437 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I've got a bit with Andrew Keller, 438 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 2: who are money Man. I said to calendar year seven 439 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: percent growth by the end of the year. I said 440 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 2: this obviously at a different time of the year. I'm dreaming, 441 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: aren't I. 442 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 16: Well, who knows what might happen over the next six months. 443 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 16: But yeah, we've only we've had less than one percent 444 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 16: in the first six months of the year, so would 445 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 16: take quite some acceleration get to that number. So I 446 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 16: mean we're we're probably predicting maybe two to three you know, 447 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 16: pre soft markets twenty twenty five. 448 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: Okay, good on you, Kelvin, Thanks for that. It's not 449 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: your fault. Kelvin Davidson, chief property economists at Kotality. They're 450 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: nineteen minutes away from seven pass. Speaking of houses, the 451 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: surf park, we had John Coban on a couple of 452 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 2: months ago. The surf park north of Auckland's absolutely fantastic 453 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: idea thirteen hundred and fifty deiry Flat Highway, Silverdale, and 454 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: they got forty three hectares and they've got house extensions. 455 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 2: They're part of fast Trak, is the news yesterday. So 456 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: they're part of the fast Track. They're gonna put a 457 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 2: whole lot of houses in there, and they're gonna put 458 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: the surf park and the water is going to be 459 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 2: twenty degrees and they're gonna have between five hundred and 460 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: one thousand waves an hour and they're going to build 461 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 2: it and you will come. So that's all part of 462 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 2: fast Track. Speaking of fast Track, Chris Bishop, with this thing, 463 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: I read it yesterday. It reads like Luxon wrote it. 464 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 2: It's got that and we're gonna look and conceptualize and 465 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: we might be able to do something between this is 466 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: the central government, local government thing, the regional infrastructural turbo charge. 467 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 2: We'll try and crunch down and get a bit of 468 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: actual detail from Chris Bishop up to seven o'clock eighteen too. 469 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,719 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 470 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 471 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: It be paramount should be forever ashamed of themselves. They 472 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 2: we alluded to this yesterday, the announced overnight they've cut 473 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: a deal with Trump. This is the sixty minutes. And 474 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: to be with Kamela Harris, there was nothing wrong with it. 475 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 2: They didn't cut it any differently. It was proven to 476 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: be not cutting any differently. But Trump had to go 477 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: at them. And when Trump has to go at them legally, 478 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: and you happen to be a company that's got a 479 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 2: merger and play and you need the president to pass 480 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 2: that merger off, you tend to write a check. And 481 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: how BIG's the check? Sixteen million bucks includes plaintiff's fees 482 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: and costs, and will not be paid to Trump directly, 483 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 2: but goes to his Library's Presidential Library. The settlement does 484 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: not include a statement of apology or regret. Lord only 485 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: knows how you feel if you work for CBS six forty. 486 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 17: Five International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, Peace of 487 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 17: mind for New Zealand Business and Eily Joe. 488 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 2: McKenna, very good morning to you. 489 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 18: Good morning mate. 490 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 3: What is it? 491 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: Ten to nine?

It feels like thirty degrees right now. 498 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 18: But we've had as high as thirty seven in Rome 499 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 18: today in June. 500 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: I mean the thing about thirty six is not the 501 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: end of the world in Rome and southern Europe, but 502 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 2: I mean in June, it's unusual, isn't it. 503 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 17: Yeah. 504 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 18: I think they're saying that the temperatures are up to 505 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 18: five degrees higher than usual as we've seen right across 506 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 18: Europe at the moment. 507 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 2: And is it relentless? 508 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: Is it? 509 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: Day in day out? 510 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 18: Yeah, that's the funny thing. I think down south in 511 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 18: New Zealand and Australia you might get a few hot 512 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 18: days and then a bit of a storm and a 513 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 18: change of temperature. But here it just goes on and 514 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 18: on and on. 515 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 2: So you've got people in hospital yet what's happening. 516 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 18: Yeah, the hospitals are saying there's been a twenty percent 517 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 18: increase in the people showing up at emergency rooms. We've 518 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 18: had two tourists die on the beaches in Sardinia, probably 519 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 18: from a heart attack. Or overheating. So there's some real 520 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 18: concern about the elderly in particular across the country. Also 521 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 18: people working outdoors. The government is really issuing alerts saying 522 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 18: that people working in construction or working in the fields 523 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 18: in agriculture should be out of the sun between twelve 524 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 18: thirty and four o'clock in the afternoon. 525 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: Exactly. Now, what happens July nine? I'm reading over the 526 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: week in the White House said this July nine thing. 527 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,959 Speaker 2: Maybe it's on, maybe it's not done. How does that 528 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: how does itally dubtail into that? 529 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 18: Well, we know this whole argument about tariffs keeps going 530 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 18: around in circles. But today the head of the main 531 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 18: Italian business group, Manuel Orsini was very strong saying that 532 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 18: Italy risks losing twenty billion euros in exports and one 533 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 18: hundred and twenty thousand jobs next year if these ten 534 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 18: percent tariffs go ahead on European products. Georgia Maloney, the 535 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 18: Prime Minister, has tried to downplay the potential impact, but 536 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 18: I think there is real concern in business about what 537 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 18: sort of impact it's going to have, not only on 538 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 18: food stuffs, luxury goods, leather, pharmaceuticals and machinery as well. 539 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: But the reality is you're not going to get a deal. 540 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 2: I mean, Vietnam got announced about an hour or two 541 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 2: ago and that's twenty percent. And even the special deal 542 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 2: with Britain, which is I can't remember what it is 543 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: it's but they still that's good on cars, but they 544 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 2: don't know whether it's on steel. What makes Italy think 545 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: that they've got some you know. 546 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 18: Yeah, exactly. I mean, I think we saw that Georgia 547 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 18: Maloney was trying to weasele her way into favor with 548 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 18: Donald Trump. They do have a good relationship, but I 549 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 18: don't think that's going to be enough to save Italy 550 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 18: from any kind of exemption if it hits the rest 551 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 18: of europe. 552 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: An Interesting you more more legal entry work visas. What 553 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: are you looking for? Who you're looking for? Can I come? 554 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: I always want to. I'd like to be an Italian citizen. 555 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 18: I haven't seen too many specifics, but as we know, 556 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 18: the young university graduates are leaving the country. We've got 557 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 18: an aging population and people don't want to have babies anymore. 558 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 18: This is one of the lowest birth rates in the 559 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 18: world in Italy, so the government is taking drastic action 560 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 18: issuing five hundred thousand new work visas for non EU 561 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 18: nationals in the next three to four years. That's going 562 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 18: to be interesting. I'm not quite sure where they're going 563 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 18: to be. We're how specific and how educated you have 564 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 18: to be. At the same time, you know this government 565 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 18: wants to get rid of illegal arrivals. 566 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: Exactly weird, All right, Joe, you go well, catch up 567 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: soon as Joe McKenna, who is in Italy this morning. 568 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: Isn't it funny when you hear people from other countries 569 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: say all the young people are leaving. My nephew from 570 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 2: Rome a couple of years ago came here, thought we 571 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: sucked and ended up in Australia's having the time of 572 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 2: his life. Be that as it may. So they're leaving Australia. 573 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 2: Young people leaving Australia. Young people are leaving Italy. Young 574 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: people are leaving America. Young people are leaving England. Young 575 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: people are leaving New Zealand. Where all the young people go? 576 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: Where are where they go? Space? By the way, Europe 577 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: are looking increasingly. It's interesting. Yesterday this reportage was in 578 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 2: the Australian media. Europe is because of Trump and the 579 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 2: problems they've got around trade. They're looking increasingly to us 580 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 2: in the Asian what the Australian media called the Asian Region, 581 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 2: and they started referencing they want to increase ties with 582 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: the Asian Region and they're looking at the CPTPP and 583 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: the report it says as follows the CPTPP, which includes 584 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: Australia as well as Japan, South Korea and Canada. Hello, 585 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 2: we're on that one as well as a very Australian 586 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: to leave us out, so increasingly Europe looks cut. Now 587 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 2: here's the next question I ask you, And if I remember, 588 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 2: I'll asked Luxing about this one day, because we leaped 589 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: in on the EU deal and it's not a flash deal, 590 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: the free trade deal, it's not a flash deal. Australia 591 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: walked away suddenly. The EU rang up Australia the other 592 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 2: day and said, let's talk some more. Are Australia going 593 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 2: to get a markedly better deal with the EU than 594 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 2: we got and we would have been better to wait 595 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: hindsight and all that. Nine minutes away from seven. 596 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Defender octur use. 597 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 2: Tom sad b full update to Punakokari looking into this 598 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 2: business OFFUNA or at the commissioning. This is the electioneering 599 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: charge and also one in PACIFICA. They've already started to play. 600 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: Remember when Tama Potucker was on the program last week, 601 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: he goes asap. I said, when's the report coming, Tamari 602 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: gaz asap. That's not true, As it turns out, more 603 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: shortly five minutes away from seven. 604 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 11: B. 605 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 3: The ins are the outs. 606 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: It's the fizz with business fiber take your business productivity 607 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: to the next level. 608 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 2: So cars, Tesla had a bad day, told you about 609 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: that Stilantis, which is Ram, Dodge, Alpha Mersean, not Mercedes Maserati. 610 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 2: So they turnaround in America not going particularly well because 611 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 2: their sales are down this morning ten percent. This is 612 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 2: for Q two. So Tesla tanked, Stillantis down ten percent. 613 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 2: Ford's going well. Their sales are up fourteen percent. They 614 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: thought one point four percent. So why ask an expert 615 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 2: because they clearly don't know. Six hundred thousand new vehicles 616 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: and Q two led by the F series trucks because 617 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 2: Americans love trucks best quarterly since twenty nineteen. In fact, 618 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 2: as par as trucks are concerned, eighty three thousand electric vehicles. 619 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 2: Now that's a six point six percent increase. But you've 620 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: got to be careful about electric vehicles because of those 621 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: electric vehicles pure evs. See they call hybrid's evs and 622 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: they're not. So if furey vs are down thirty one percent, 623 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 2: hybrid's they were up twenty four percent. Most cars are hybrids. 624 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: They say he's got a little bit of battery or 625 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 2: something in there. I think they've got to separate those 626 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: out as categories, otherwise you're confusing people. First half of 627 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: the year, four sold a record amount of bvs and 628 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 2: hybrid's up fourteen percent. I think a bit of that's tariffs. 629 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 2: People freaked out about what was going to happen on 630 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 2: Liberation Day, so they went and bought a car. GM 631 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 2: sails up seven point three for the quarter, twelve percent 632 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: for the first half of the year. Once again, the 633 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: trucks and the crossovers lead the way. Keia up eight 634 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: best result ever. Shouldn't they up ten percent for the 635 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 2: first half. That's their best result ever. Very interesting comments 636 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: from Jim Farley, who's the chief executive Ford globally. He's 637 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 2: been driving a Chinese Eva is Ziomi. I keep asking 638 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: what it is, zomy Yomi whatever the hell they call themselves. 639 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 2: He's been driving the SU seven for six months. He 640 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 2: says he doesn't want to give it up, which is 641 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: a remarkable thing for somebody who leads forward to say 642 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 2: about a Chinese car. He says, this is a warning 643 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: to the Western world. He's right, of course, if we 644 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: lose this, we do not have a future forward. Seventy 645 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 2: percent of the world's evs are made in China. It 646 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: is the most humbling thing I have ever seen. Beyond 647 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,959 Speaker 2: the tech. He loves the tech inside anyway, Beyond that, 648 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 2: their cost, the quality of their vehicles is far superior 649 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: to what I see in the Red West. And this 650 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: guy runs a company in the West, sitting there in 651 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: his Chinese EV in charge of a company in the West, 652 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: telling all the people who worked for him that the 653 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: Chinese had got it covered. That's where you get to Mercedes. 654 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: Have I come back to that. They've backtracked on their 655 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 2: V eight. You know, their boom broom V eight AMGV eight. 656 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: They took that out of their AMG cars and they 657 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 2: whacked in a poor cylinder two liter And they thought 658 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 2: that people who want to buy broombroom cars would think 659 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 2: that was a good idea. Guess what they didn't, so 660 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 2: they backed down on the V eight. But I'll come 661 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 2: back to that later on the program. Nicola Willis had 662 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: an idea and she stole it from Labor to cost 663 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 2: out election policies. She took that to cabinet Winston and 664 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: Dave went not happening. Steven Joyce on this next. 665 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show KIWI Trust to Stay in the Know 666 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: the mic hosting Breakfast with A Veda, Retirement Communities, Life 667 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: Your Way News tog SAD been. 668 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 2: On seven past seven. So interesting development within the coalition. 669 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: New Zealand First and Act have rejected a cabinet proposal 670 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 2: for an independent costing agency. The idea was you wrap 671 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: numbers around your promises in an election. That's increased transparency 672 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: and therefore the fiscal whole drama of the past year 673 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 2: or so doesn't happen. Stephen Joyce has been there, done 674 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 2: that form of Finance Minister is with this morning to 675 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 2: you Monnie, Mike, tell you very well. In so back 676 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: to twenty sixteen, this was a Labour Green's idea that 677 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: Simon Bridges rejected. So you know of it, would you 678 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 2: have backed it? Is it a good idea? 679 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 3: Or not. 680 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 19: It could be helpful in someway. It's important to note 681 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 19: I think this idea is a bit different to that. 682 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 19: I mean, it's the same bucket. But what the Finance 683 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 19: Minister's proposing is to cost individual policies at the request 684 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 19: of the parties involved, which I think does deal with 685 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 19: a problem that happens when you're in opposition is that 686 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 19: you don't have access to the information. So you have 687 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 19: to go chasing around oias and parliamentary questions to try 688 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 19: and get enough information to build a policy which stands 689 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 19: scrutiny when it gets out in the public. And it's 690 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 19: a lot of fun for the government of the day 691 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 19: to try and withhold all that information and then go ah, 692 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 19: but to ridiculously costed policy. And so that would help 693 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 19: with that. But it's a bit different to what was 694 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 19: being proposed by Laboring the Greens back then, because they 695 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 19: wanted to cost the party's fiscal policies. Of course, we 696 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 19: had an experience about that in twenty seventeen which I 697 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 19: was involved in, was that Fiscal Whole and Labor came 698 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 19: out with some numbers and I bagged them for being 699 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 19: about twelve billion short. I got bagged in turn. But 700 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 19: that's politics. I think I. 701 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 2: Think it turned out to be right though, didn't you, Stephen? 702 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 19: I turned out to be too conservative, Mike. It was like, 703 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 19: in hindsight, it was about twenty billion months that actually 704 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 19: spent all the money. The difficulty with the thing that 705 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 19: was proposed back then is it just brings whatever it is, 706 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 19: a Parliamentary Budget Office or whatever you want to call it, 707 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 19: into the debate and nobody internationally when it happens, nobody 708 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 19: still accept it. It's just a different stage of the argument, 709 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 19: and ultimately the public just has to form a view 710 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 19: whether they trust individuals to spend more or less. But 711 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 19: this particular proposal, as I'll say, it was a lot smaller, 712 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 19: about a million dollars. The Public Service Commission was going 713 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 19: to supervise it. It was literally at the party's request for 714 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 19: them to be able to get some information. But yeah, 715 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 19: obviously coalition politics the other two didn't want. 716 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 11: To do it. 717 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 2: Yeah they don't. And do they look dodgy and not 718 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 2: wanting to do it or are their arguments around You 719 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 2: can get the numbers anyway, We've had alternative budgets and 720 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: we don't have the money to spend on this sort 721 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: of stuff. Plus, we don't trust public service all the time. 722 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 2: I mean, the they stack. 723 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 19: Up well, I think they're they're entitled to those sort 724 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 19: of party positions, and you know they're just positioning with it. 725 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 19: ACT says, oh, you know, we know about to do 726 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 19: numbers anyway, so we don't need that. And I think 727 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 19: news on first just take a traditional approach to it, 728 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 19: and they just say, oh, we didn't have it for 729 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 19: the last forty years, why do we need it now? 730 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 19: So all that sort of stuff. I think, yeah, there 731 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 19: is some truth to that, is that is it ultimately 732 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 19: public sevens don't get it right all the time, but 733 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 19: I tend to get it a little bit more right 734 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 19: than a lot of political parties. I mean, you just 735 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 19: sort of green stuff recently, and that's pretty high in 736 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 19: the sky. And so it would be a contribution to 737 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 19: the baby. But don't forget the party that we've got 738 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 19: the costing would control whether it was released, so they'd 739 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 19: probably only release it if they actually liked it. Otherwise 740 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 19: they'd probably just come up with their own numbers. 741 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Always pleasure to have you on the program. 742 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 2: Stephen Joyce, former Finance Minister, And I don't say that 743 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 2: because he's the chaman of the board. I say it 744 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 2: because he's a nice guy. Anyway, eleven minutes past seven, 745 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 2: we have more money for a run. Speaking of which, 746 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 2: more money for I rung A Toma Riki and the 747 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 2: development of professionalism of STF forty one million dollars going 748 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 2: for what they call long standing gaps, which are training 749 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 2: and qualifications. Doctor clear upmode as the Chief Children's Commissioner, 750 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: of course, and is what is clear good morning to you? 751 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 20: Good morning? 752 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 2: Do we run the risk of running into the money trap, 753 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 2: which is just make an announcement. There's a number, everyone thinks, 754 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 2: oh phuil and we never sort of follow it up. 755 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 2: Is the money needed? Will it be well spent? Will 756 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 2: things materially improve? Do you think? 757 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 9: Well? 758 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 20: I welcome this investment because it is about the safety 759 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 20: and care of children and young people in our Auto 760 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 20: Accomodo Key residences. I've consistently been calling for this since 761 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 20: I came into my role as Chief Children's Commissioner, so 762 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 20: I am pleased that the government has listened and take 763 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 20: connection in this way. You are absolutely right, though I 764 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 20: will be continuing to watch very closely to make sure 765 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 20: that this actually translates into good outcomes for children and 766 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 20: young people in these residences? 767 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 2: Could most people see the gaps if they were looking 768 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 2: in as that part of the ongoing problem. In other words, 769 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: there's a lack of professionalism. There have plenty of good meaning, 770 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 2: but lack of professionalism hence the lack of traction. 771 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 20: Well, my team they go into these places regularly to 772 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,439 Speaker 20: monitor them under the optional protocol to a gave mention 773 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 20: against torture, and our focus there is looking at what 774 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 20: is the treatment and conditions of these children and young 775 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 20: people in these places where they are deprived of their liberty, 776 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 20: and we do that to prevent harm from happening. And unfortunately, 777 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 20: in many instances we have found that the care and 778 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 20: treatment of these children and young people it hasn't been 779 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 20: to the standard that we want to see. There has 780 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 20: been safety and harm issues. And so building this workforce 781 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 20: and actually making sure they're equipped with the professional skills 782 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 20: that they need to do this really important work but 783 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 20: which is often complex, is really really important. 784 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,479 Speaker 2: Goodnie Claire, and as to talk to you again doctor 785 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 2: Claire Agmot, who's the Cheap Children's Commissioner. Wellcome back to 786 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 2: that Punacocara thing and the fun at Aura in a 787 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 2: moment thirteen minutes past seven past. Its slightly more important 788 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 2: at the moment, though, I'm very excited to be able 789 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 2: to read that ACC have agreed, and I've been on 790 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 2: to ACC in the last couple of weeks. Have you 791 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,479 Speaker 2: listened to the program regularly. The amount of money they're spending, 792 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 2: the number of people who are receiving money, and the 793 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 2: shortfall is alarming. So much so, and I reiterate this, 794 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 2: Nikola Willis no longer adds their month near numbers in 795 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 2: to the government's projected surplus return or return to surplus, 796 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 2: if and when that ever happens, because the numbers are 797 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 2: so large. If she put those numbers in, we'd never 798 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 2: returned to surplus. So they've agreed to slash the growth 799 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 2: and claimants receiving conversation for more than a year, cut 800 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 2: the money they spend on social rehabilitation. The accumulated deficit 801 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 2: in ACC's reserves expected to increase from twelve point four 802 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 2: billion last year alone it was seven point two billion, 803 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 2: to reach seventeen billion by June of next year. Scott Simpson, 804 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 2: who's the minister, he's working on a turnaround plan. Good 805 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 2: luck with that, assuming it involves a wand and a 806 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 2: lot of magic. There are twenty four thousand people in 807 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 2: this country who have been on benefits acc for more 808 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 2: than a year. Twenty four thousand people, and you wonder 809 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: why they got no money. Fourteen past seven. 810 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 811 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: by News Talks at b. 812 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: Well Dean one of the biggest names and not the 813 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 2: biggest name in country music, been around for twenty years. 814 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 2: He's heading here announced the twur of this week, so 815 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 2: we thought we'd call them up in Nashville have a word. 816 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 2: So he's with us after eight seventeen past seven.

Not everyone wanted to participate, 827 00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 21: so Wellington, for example, as was reported, didn't submit one. 828 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So are these standouts or were they all good 829 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 2: and you could have done business with all of them potentially? 830 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 3: I mean, ultimately they're all They're all good in their 831 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 3: own ways. 832 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 21: These were the three that best met the alignment with 833 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 21: the government around our kind of sheered vision for closing 834 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 21: that infrastructure gap and you know, delivering productivity, enhancing infrastructure 835 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 21: for the future, around spatial planning and things like that. 836 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 3: So these are the kind of the ones that stood out. 837 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 21: And look, you know, frankly, from a realistic point of view, 838 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 21: we need Auckland to succeed right for the country, you know, 839 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 21: and appreciate the people out there listening and not from Auckland. 840 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 21: We'll say, well, yeah, yeah, Auckland or Auckland. But Auckland's 841 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 21: our biggest city, it's our big international city. It's a 842 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 21: major driver of growth and productivity in the country. And 843 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 21: so aligning central government direction with Auckland, with with May 844 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 21: Wayne Brown and the council around housing around you know, 845 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,240 Speaker 21: when I've been on the show talking about rapid transit 846 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 21: and the city railroak and you know, up zoning land 847 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 21: or for housing. He's very keen on innovation precincts being 848 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 21: based there, there's. 849 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 3: A lot we can do there in Auckland. So I'm 850 00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,240 Speaker 3: pretty excited. 851 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 2: But how does it dubtor? Is this a power grab 852 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: by you guys? Because I look back to the christ 853 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 2: you scrap your head and they pleaded with you for 854 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 2: years and spent millions and wasted their time and you 855 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 2: said no, thank you. How much of this is about 856 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 2: you doing what you want versus them doing what they want? 857 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 21: I think it's the better way to put it. I 858 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 21: reckon is about alignment. So we've set some coves for us, 859 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 21: or we've set some clear objectives for us, right, which 860 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 21: is that we've got a clear agenda around resource management reform, 861 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 21: actually quite supported by local councils to be honest, because 862 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 21: everyone knows the status quoe is unsustainable. So resource management reform, 863 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 21: we've got the three waters changes we're making around local 864 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 21: water done well. 865 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 3: We want councils to use new tools for. 866 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 21: Funding and financing, so things like infrastructure funding and financing 867 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 21: levies off balance sheet borrowing. We're also quite keen that 868 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 21: they engage some asset recycling from their own assets. Often 869 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,959 Speaker 21: local councils have assets on their balance sheet that frankly. 870 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 3: Our viewers could be redeployed to better uses. 871 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 21: So part of the regional deal framework will be discussions 872 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 21: around that. And you've seen Wayne brownder that in Auckland 873 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 21: for example, selling down the you know, the state in Auckland, 874 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 21: the airport and a bit controversial for a while, but 875 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 21: actually it's been very verious. 876 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 2: Will there be crunchy a stuff because I'm reading yesterday 877 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 2: it sounds like lux and wrote the thing it's all 878 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 2: it's all. I mean, it's all fields and touchies and 879 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 2: we want a bit of this and a bit of 880 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 2: that and has been and it's going to be fantastic. 881 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 2: Is there something crunchy coming that we can get our 882 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 2: heads around numbers, data time frames, KPI. 883 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 3: Well yeah, that's all to come. 884 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 21: So I think it will get crunchy once we work, 885 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 21: you know with the rubber hits the road on what 886 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 21: councils are up for doing. And as I say, we're 887 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 21: keen on some masset recycling on improving their you know, 888 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 21: their investment in local infrastructure that supports growth, because that's 889 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 21: ultimately what this is all about. So we're coming at 890 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 21: it from central government around growth and that's this government's 891 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 21: driving ambition, as you know, is how do we improve 892 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 21: productivity and get growth going. So there is some of 893 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 21: the proposals that that came in and they are all 894 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 21: pretty good up their own way. But some of them 895 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,760 Speaker 21: came in and they were they were, to use your language, 896 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 21: but touchy feely sort of like, oh, let's all sit 897 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 21: down and comboy are and have a you know, have 898 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 21: a have a huey and all the rest of it. 899 00:40:59,440 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 2: We don't want. 900 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 21: Well, well, we're up for meetings. We're up for meetings 901 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 21: as long as they lead to productive outcomes. And I'm 902 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 21: not a guy who sits around and you know, I 903 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 21: don't go into meetings the shack spiders. 904 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 3: We're there to actually get stuff done for the country, right, 905 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 3: good stuff. 906 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 2: And you don't want to be in a meeting shagging spiders. 907 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 2: Quote of the day, that's right, you know, you don't 908 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 2: Quote of the day. It's only seven twenty one. 909 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeart Radio 910 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 1: Power by News Talk Sippy. 911 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: So when it comes to investing, finding the right place 912 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 2: for the old hard earned it can be a little 913 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 2: bit tricky. So somewhere you might not have explored as 914 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 2: SBS Banks, so they've been in business in this country 915 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 2: for one hundred and fifty six years.

So what does the key we 921 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 2: dream to you look like? So ask yourself that comfortable 922 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 2: retirement dream trip somewhere tropical. SBSP currently offering a rate 923 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 2: of four percent per annum.

For more information, here's where 930 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 2: we go SBS Bank dot Co dot Nz, SBS Bank 931 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 2: dot Co dot Nz and start banking with heart asking 932 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 2: seven twenty four. I reckon there should be a rule 933 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 2: and the rules around balance. Part of the media's demise is. 934 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 2: It's on fairness and coverage, the latest example of which 935 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 2: is the school lunch program. Right, we've got a smattering 936 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 2: of coverage. When I say smattering, I found two things 937 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 2: yesterday too, one by Radio and New Zealand, who have 938 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 2: the same stats as story number two, which is by 939 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 2: the Herald Radio New Zealand. Once they produced the stats 940 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 2: in their story, clearly couldn't help themselves given it was 941 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 2: a good news story, so they went and found a 942 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 2: miserable principle to moan some more about the lunch program. 943 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: Their moan was given the previous moaning didn't work and 944 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 2: things weren't going back to the way they were. They 945 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 2: must have given up. The numbers, by the way, for 946 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 2: the school lunch program ninety nine percent plus delivery each day, 947 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 2: Complaints are down by ninety two percent, students positive feedback 948 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 2: through the roof. 949 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 3: Now. 950 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 2: The Herald story contained term three testing news new meals 951 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 2: with students in the trial, posting a seventy three percent 952 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 2: positive feedback. Now, by any standards, these numbers are a 953 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 2: success story. Where there was trouble at the start, the 954 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 2: trouble was fixed, so fairness very little the government did 955 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 2: this year got more media attention than school lunches. TV 956 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 2: in particular went to town on it, night after night 957 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 2: after night, melting plastic, burnt kids, shots of mush, finger pointing, 958 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 2: union reps, delivery delays. It was a feeding frenty and 959 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 2: the media were in boots and all. So where are 960 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 2: they now? Ah, Apart from two stories, where are they now? 961 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 2: We've got stats and detail, We have a fix. We 962 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,839 Speaker 2: have happy kids and do remember are the reason for 963 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 2: it all? In the first places, we have money saved 964 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 2: and a lot of it. Not just money saved, but 965 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 2: more kids actually getting fed. So as an ex exercise, 966 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 2: we are doing more with less and the recipients are happy. 967 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 2: So where are the stories? Where's the balance? Where's the fairness? 968 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 2: So my rule should be minute for minute, colomage for colomage. 969 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 2: If you love the pylon, you've got to be back 970 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 2: to present the end result. You have to do the 971 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 2: right thing. You have to provide the other side, the balance, 972 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 2: the outcome. If you don't, then the charge of buyers 973 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,760 Speaker 2: sticks it. You look like an attention seeking clickbait warrior 974 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 2: and you'll please for value of journalism fall flat asking, 975 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 2: So sad Mike to read of des Gorman's passing the 976 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 2: only trustworthy voice during the COVID cluster. I don't think 977 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 2: it was the only trustworthy voice, but I got written 978 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 2: to this morning by his family Sarah, Christine, Anna and 979 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 2: Emily to tell me that Desert passed away in the 980 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 2: early hours of this morning, surrounded by his family, which 981 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 2: is nicely for seventy one, which is far too young. 982 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,720 Speaker 2: I want to thank you for the insightful, engaging interviews 983 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 2: you shared with Dad over the past five years.

I mean, 985 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 2: not only a nice guy, but you like car us 986 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 2: So we had a good chat and he hadn't been 987 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 2: well for a while, but he was certainly a voice 988 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 2: that was relied upon and trusted during the COVID period. 989 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 2: And so our thoughts obviously are with family and friends 990 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 2: of DearS Gorman this morning. So some changes coming proceeds 991 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 2: of crime Fund that you'll need to know about, and 992 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 2: the person in charge of that is a miss Nicole McKee, 993 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 2: and she'll be with us directly after the news, which 994 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 2: is next. Your news talk said bet. 995 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: Your source of breaking news, challenging a villion and honors 996 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: backs the Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Defender doctor the 997 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: most powerful defender ever made and news headb. 998 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 2: Justin And I'm assuming this is pre Scotus the Supreme Court. 999 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 2: Therefore this is still in play. So this is Trump. 1000 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 2: The US federal judge has blocked the asylum band at 1001 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,280 Speaker 2: the US Mexico border. The judge argues judge called Randolph Moss. 1002 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,760 Speaker 2: He argues Trump exceeded his authority a proclamation declaring illegal 1003 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 2: immigration and emergence and setting aside existing legal process as 1004 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 2: he says, it's not an emergency of one hundred and 1005 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 2: twenty eight page opinion. American Civil Liberties Union brought the 1006 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 2: challenge back in February, and I think that's the key. 1007 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 2: They're arguing they violated or Trump violated US law and 1008 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 2: international treaties. So the judges agreed. But the judges also 1009 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,760 Speaker 2: said he had set the effective data side for fourteen 1010 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,800 Speaker 2: days to allow the Trump administration to appeal, which they will. Obviously, 1011 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 2: the importance of Scotus is that just the other day 1012 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 2: they laid down it was over the weekend our time, 1013 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:32,319 Speaker 2: a very significant ruling that basically says lower courts, which 1014 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 2: is what this is, can't go round doing nationwide things 1015 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 2: and blocking. So because this got filed in February, I'm 1016 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 2: assuming that still counts anything posts the Supreme Court decision 1017 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 2: the other day doesn't. Twenty one away, rull in the 1018 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 2: town staff off the budge. Joseph Elban is going to 1019 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 2: be here in the early part of next year, the 1020 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 2: two of the full throttle tour of which he is 1021 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 2: on globally at the moment he joined U from na 1022 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,760 Speaker 2: clock meantime back year, the government are adjusting the proceeds 1023 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,760 Speaker 2: of fund goal is reducing violent crime by twenty thousand 1024 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 2: by the end of twenty twenty nine. 1025 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 3: That's victims. 1026 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 2: Of course, part of the change comes out of the 1027 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 2: Harry tam two point seventy five million debicle that the 1028 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 2: Labor government oversaw. Nicole McKee, who is the Associate Minister 1029 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 2: of Justice and is with us on all of this. 1030 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:15,439 Speaker 2: Very good morning to you. 1031 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 22: Good morning Mike. 1032 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 2: The final report from Harry has never been seen, has it. 1033 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 22: It's right. I think it's about twelve months over due 1034 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,439 Speaker 22: now and actually shows why we need to make sure 1035 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 22: that we make better decisions when we want to support 1036 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,279 Speaker 22: our communities, because our communities are the ones that need 1037 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 22: to have good outcomes. So I've changed the fund so 1038 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 22: that we don't do things like just throw money at 1039 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 22: people who shouldn't have it and don't deliver outcomes. 1040 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 2: What is there anything in there? 1041 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 3: Though? 1042 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 2: If you give me some money and I say I'll 1043 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 2: go do something, whether I do it or not, and 1044 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 2: I don't file a report to tell you anything, is 1045 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 2: there anything actually you can do about it? What are 1046 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 2: you going to do arrest me? 1047 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 22: I think it will actually speak further what other programs 1048 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 22: would get supported in the future if they don't. I 1049 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 22: mean when they sign up. Now, what they have to 1050 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 22: sign up to is a whole new regime. So first 1051 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 22: of all, before we even consider them, they have to 1052 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,799 Speaker 22: meet certain criteria on a matrix of scoring as to 1053 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 22: whether I will even look at their proposal. They have 1054 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,720 Speaker 22: to come through government agencies. They can't just come straight 1055 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 22: from the community anymore. So we will always have that 1056 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 22: extra oversight to ensure in the first place that these 1057 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 22: projects are workable, as opposed to throwing taxpayer money because 1058 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 22: that's what it is at the sky and hoping for results. 1059 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 2: So do reassure me. I'll give you a couple of 1060 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 2: examples in a moment. But there are people out there 1061 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 2: that you give money to that do make and you 1062 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 2: can prove it a material difference to people's lives, because 1063 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 2: I just worry that you're o rung and Tamaiki's all 1064 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 2: of that. There's so much money and so many reports 1065 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,800 Speaker 2: and nobody seems to make any progress on anything. 1066 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 22: Well, if I speak to one of the projects that 1067 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 22: we funding, and that's the Co Hunger Billy Graham Youth 1068 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 22: Foundation program, they are already successful in the areas that 1069 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 22: they have been operated and in fact managed to get 1070 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 22: community funding to keep them operated operating. I'm now giving 1071 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 22: them one point nine million so that they can expand 1072 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 22: into eight other areas and the expectation is that they'll 1073 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 22: get community funding to keep those areas going as well, 1074 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,799 Speaker 22: so they'll have three years to be able to do this. 1075 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,360 Speaker 22: So we've taken a successful program and looking to expand 1076 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 22: it because it is making a really big difference for 1077 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 22: our serious youth offenders. 1078 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 2: Good is the proceeds of crime fund being tapped as 1079 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,359 Speaker 2: much as it possibly can be. In other words, are 1080 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 2: you're getting as much money in as you can do 1081 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 2: you think. 1082 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 22: Well, that's always a movable feast because the money basically 1083 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 22: can sometimes sit there for years or months depending on 1084 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 22: court processes. So how much money comes in at any 1085 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 22: one time is we can't determine. We don't know, We 1086 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 22: have no idea when it's going to come in all 1087 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 22: what the costs are for being able to process all 1088 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 22: of these events and court actions as well. So for example, 1089 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 22: six million dollars had to be paid two police to 1090 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 22: help them with storage of some of the stuff that 1091 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,479 Speaker 22: they've seized and their prosecutions, and MB as well also 1092 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 22: got paid three million dollars, So that comes out of 1093 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 22: the fund. But if you look at the flows, we 1094 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,240 Speaker 22: have four income flows every year and the last one 1095 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 22: was three point four million and the one before that 1096 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 22: was one point six million. So there's some healthy amounts 1097 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 22: coming in that will support our communities and make life 1098 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 22: better for Keywason And good. 1099 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,839 Speaker 2: To hear Nicole. Nice to talk to you, Nicole McKee, 1100 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,239 Speaker 2: who's the Associate Minister of Justice. Of course, eighteen minutes 1101 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 2: away from eight tasking right, So Tama Potucker when he 1102 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,879 Speaker 2: was on the program, there's something to see here. I'm 1103 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 2: absolutely convinced of it. Farner Or get some money and 1104 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 2: they won hired Tama easy to sit there for half 1105 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 2: an hour trying to convince you to get onto the 1106 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 2: Maori role, and they claim farner or a metapica Roko 1107 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,279 Speaker 2: Tate tells us that's not electioneering. I don't believe it 1108 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 2: for a moment. Then there's money funneled to the Pacific 1109 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 2: people who then go and sponsor Mowana Pacific. And the 1110 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,439 Speaker 2: slightly different part of that is they claim that it's 1111 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 2: private money, not public money. And you can probably start 1112 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 2: dancing on the head of a pin because if you 1113 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 2: get the public money and you say invest it for 1114 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 2: argument's sake, and you then start getting a return on 1115 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 2: that investment, they would claim that return on investment is 1116 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,800 Speaker 2: then private money. Therefore putting into Moana Pacific is legit. 1117 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 2: I don't know that. I'm convinced that that argument. Anyway. 1118 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 2: Tama wants a report into it, and he told us 1119 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 2: on this program that he'd be getting the thing back asap, 1120 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 2: which turns out not to be true because Tapunacocher is 1121 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 2: doing it. They only release the terms of reference on Monday, 1122 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,400 Speaker 2: and Doug Craig, who's the director at RDC Group Consultancy, 1123 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 2: is going to have a look at this. They were 1124 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 2: run yesterday. They said, when you reckon because Tarma said 1125 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 2: July and they went the Marii Development head secretary for 1126 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,640 Speaker 2: Mary Development, Dave Samuel's he may their words, not mine, 1127 00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 2: may release the final report. Indeed he may not. So 1128 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 2: hold on who's running the program here? Is Tarma running 1129 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 2: it or is Dave running it? Tapunacochri will need to 1130 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 2: consider what is appropriate to release when it receives and 1131 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,239 Speaker 2: considers the report from the independent review. What crap's at? 1132 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 2: That's and that, in a nutshell, is the problem with 1133 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,399 Speaker 2: the public service. They're so far up themselves they think 1134 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 2: they're important. And this is where Tarma comes in. And 1135 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 2: I hope he's on the phone to them saying that 1136 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,560 Speaker 2: report the moment you get it comes to my desk 1137 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,919 Speaker 2: and I'll be putting in it out publicly or else. 1138 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,760 Speaker 2: Yet again, I'm going to have to bring him. Sixteen 1139 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 2: away from eight. 1140 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:38,240 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1141 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: by News Talks, It'd be. 1142 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 2: Hi, Mike haven't Hickins admitting he had the wrong advice 1143 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 2: about homelessness, flocking to rote to Rua when there was 1144 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 2: plenty of evidence to the contrary. That was John, Thank 1145 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,240 Speaker 2: you for the text that came out. I can't remember 1146 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 2: what was that the weekend or late last week, and 1147 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 2: what it showed me was the very clear problem with 1148 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 2: people like Chippy is that he is not out in 1149 00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 2: the real world and they live by die by what 1150 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:07,360 Speaker 2: they're told by wants and bureaucrats who aren't out in 1151 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,439 Speaker 2: the real world either, And that's how you got wrote 1152 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,320 Speaker 2: a uas so wrong. The reason I re raised the 1153 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,280 Speaker 2: old chipster he was on with Nick yesterday and Wellington. 1154 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 2: I think stuff got onto this and I don't think 1155 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 2: stuff understand what news is these days. It's because he 1156 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 2: was talking about ram raids. Nick apparently asked him a 1157 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 2: whole bunch of different stuff in the interview about that 1158 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,759 Speaker 2: came up with ram raids, and I think stuff, I 1159 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 2: think it was stuff tried to make something of this anyway. 1160 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,439 Speaker 2: Hipkins goes, you know ram raids and Nick was saying, well, 1161 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,760 Speaker 2: you know, you don't see ramraids anymore, and Hipkins says, quote, 1162 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 2: it's because your Tory owners that enzed me and ZI 1163 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 2: means the parent company of this particular radio station. It's 1164 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 2: because your Tory owners that end zed me have decided 1165 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 2: not to put it on the front page. Anymore. It's 1166 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 2: still happening. It's just enzed me have decided that it's 1167 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 2: not in the government's best interests, and they do, the 1168 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 2: National parties singing for them, and so they're not covering 1169 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,879 Speaker 2: it as much anymore. Now I know Chippy well enough 1170 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 2: to know he's joking. That's a throwaway line. He probably 1171 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 2: deep down means it, but I can hear him saying 1172 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 2: it in a jest like fashion, because he's not that 1173 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 2: loose around the language. Anyway. Bishop is listening Chris the aforementioned, 1174 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 2: and Chippy of course is wrong on this as well. 1175 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,439 Speaker 2: So not only was he wrong on Roadoruver, he's wrong 1176 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 2: on ram raids. It's not obviously we're not covering anything up, 1177 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 2: and obviously we're not doing anyone's bidding. We just like 1178 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 2: to deal with the facts, particularly on this program. So 1179 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 2: the Bishop says, ram raids in twenty twenty two, when 1180 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,879 Speaker 2: the Chipster was in charge seven hundred and fourteen to them, 1181 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, four hundred and ninety five, new government 1182 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, two hundred and nine, Mark's in charge 1183 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, and things change. So far this year, 1184 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 2: you know how many forty five so there's actually none 1185 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 2: to report, Chris, and no one's covering anything up but 1186 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 2: forty five down from seven hundred and fourteen. What's materially changed, 1187 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,440 Speaker 2: you ask yourself, and the ANSWER's attitude. Simple as that, 1188 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 2: and that's all that was needed. 1189 00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 19: I didn't read much of the news over the weekend. 1190 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:01,760 Speaker 2: Were you bus evil? 1191 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 1: He had a few things on the mic Hosking Breakfast 1192 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,280 Speaker 1: with Bailey's Real Estate news Dogs, Debb. 1193 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 2: Do you see the story of Shirley McQueen yesterday most 1194 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 2: uplifting story of the day certainly, if not the week. 1195 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,840 Speaker 2: So Shirley was marking Shirley's eighty three and she's marking 1196 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 2: her fifty year work anniversary at tarong Hospital. And I've 1197 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,880 Speaker 2: got a bit of experience at tarong the hospital. My 1198 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 2: dad was at taro Hospital and my stepmum was at 1199 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 2: tarong A Hospital as workers, not patients in fact long 1200 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 2: standing and they probably know new Shirley. Anyway, she was 1201 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 2: marking fifty years in the job. I love what I 1202 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 2: do and it doesn't seem like fifty years. She started 1203 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 2: working at the hospital in nineteen seventy five. Incredible, we 1204 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 2: would we'd not only do the cleaning, but we'd also 1205 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 2: be serving cups of tea and dinners and doing the dishes. 1206 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,319 Speaker 2: Now we just focus on the cleaning side and have 1207 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 2: a lot more technology to help us. 1208 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 3: Well, there you go. 1209 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 2: There's a happy cleaner, for goodness sake, a person and 1210 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,120 Speaker 2: she's stick thin a fiddle, looks like she works every day. 1211 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 2: She looks like a person who's got the right attitude 1212 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 2: to life. Can I also congratulate it while while I'm 1213 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 2: in a good mood? A Lyric Wybery Smith who appears 1214 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 2: to be my favorite person at the spinoff Spinoffs an 1215 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 2: odd thing. Duncan Greaves will hate me for saying that, 1216 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 2: but nevertheless it's an odd thing. But Lyric appears to 1217 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 2: be the star of the show. So she's writing yesterday 1218 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,000 Speaker 2: about Paul Goldsmith, who a year ago, July of twenty 1219 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 2: twenty four, made a whole lot of promises about the 1220 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,680 Speaker 2: media in this country. And I commented at the time, 1221 00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 2: and I've commented a number of times that Paul was 1222 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 2: on a hiding to nothing and as a politician with 1223 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 2: in charge of an industry you can't fix, don't make 1224 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 2: promises you're not going to deliver on. And he made 1225 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 2: a bunch of promises that he was never going to 1226 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 2: deliver on. He said he would take quote immediate action 1227 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 2: to support New Zealand's media and content production sectors. So 1228 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 2: there was the promise in his press release to progress 1229 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,160 Speaker 2: the fair digital news bargaining bill. Now I said at 1230 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,000 Speaker 2: the time quite clearly, I've said it many many times. 1231 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 2: It was going nowhere. Why it passed its first reading 1232 00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:07,200 Speaker 2: nearly two months after Goldsmith's promise, But it's been collecting 1233 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,919 Speaker 2: dust ever since. It's sitting in a bay. It's why, well, 1234 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 2: because we're looking at the Australian government. I said this 1235 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 2: at the time, and I said, the Australians have passed 1236 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 2: this rule. They don't have a clue what they're doing. 1237 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 2: They're not dragging Netflix and Google and all the others 1238 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 2: to some sort of table whereby you get a whole 1239 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 2: lot of money from them. Those people will cut their 1240 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 2: service off to a country, and if they're doing that 1241 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 2: in Australia, he's certainly not cutting us a good deal 1242 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. So that's going nowhere. He was going 1243 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 2: to remove quote unquote outdated advertising restrictions which have been 1244 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 2: sitting stifling innovation. His words, not mine. In other words, 1245 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,520 Speaker 2: he was going to let TV and radio run ads 1246 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 2: on Sunday in public holidays. Has he done that, No, 1247 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,440 Speaker 2: he hasn't. Would we like him to do that, Yes 1248 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 2: we would. Would that generate some income, yes it would. 1249 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,760 Speaker 2: Now that he can be held accountable for because he 1250 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,840 Speaker 2: could have done it and he hasn't. That was an 1251 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 2: easy fix. Then he announced Culture and Heritage sort of 1252 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 2: a consultation document that proposed ensuring that smart televisions had 1253 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 2: local apps pre installed and displayed prominently. Now, as far 1254 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 2: as I know, Paul's not in charge of Samsung or 1255 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,640 Speaker 2: any other person that makes a television. So once again 1256 00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,280 Speaker 2: he was saying stuff he was never going to be 1257 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 2: able to deliver on. 1258 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 4: I'm just wondering, you know what, it'll make them do that? Well, 1259 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 4: if people want. 1260 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 2: That, correct, I'm just wondering if at which point of 1261 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 2: this dissertation do I use the word napui just to 1262 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 2: give you a sense of where my thinking on poor 1263 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 2: old Paul is. So that's going nowhere. Another idea he 1264 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 2: had in the last year was he was going to 1265 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,880 Speaker 2: merge New Zealand on Air and the film Commission together. Now, 1266 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,920 Speaker 2: whether that was going to materially make any difference to 1267 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 2: the world. I don't know. I mean, there'd be fewer 1268 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 2: wonks with pens and pieces of paper wondering around whether 1269 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 2: we should fund strange projects that nobody watches or listens to. 1270 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 2: But he hasn't done that either. So it's been a 1271 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,520 Speaker 2: busy year for Paul. He did take some money off 1272 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 2: Radio New Zealand that Alan's worth a knighthood in my 1273 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 2: humble opinion, and he's committed six and a half million 1274 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 2: dollars over four years for hiring some regional journalists. And 1275 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 2: I think the regional journalist thing was slightly controversial under 1276 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 2: Labour because you had to Cowtower to Tataraty and all 1277 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 2: the other nonsense. But nevertheless, the regional journalist thing I 1278 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 2: think has been proven excellent and we're seeing some good 1279 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 2: coverage of some stuff around parts of the country you 1280 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 2: wouldn't see otherwise. So I'll give them marks on that. 1281 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 2: But as Lyric quite rightly writes at length unless the 1282 00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 2: other problem with the spinoff and newsroom they write, God, 1283 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,520 Speaker 2: they write at length anyway, So I had to read 1284 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 2: that took me an hour and. 1285 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:32,960 Speaker 3: A half to do. 1286 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you for doing that. 1287 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 2: Summarize it up in about a minute and a half. 1288 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 2: But anyway, Paul needs to do better on the media, 1289 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 2: or if he can't, don't promise you'll do stuff you 1290 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,919 Speaker 2: can't deliver in the first place, would be my piece 1291 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 2: of advice. Jason el Vane. 1292 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: Next, the news and the news makers, the Mic Hosking 1293 00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 1: breadvest with Bailey's real estate altogether better across residential, commercial 1294 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 1: and rural news talk. 1295 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 9: Sad be he had a sunny little beamer with the 1296 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:10,080 Speaker 9: rags up there sitting in the draft, but you wouldn't get. 1297 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,680 Speaker 2: At it was seven past sight from another country's biggest 1298 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,800 Speaker 2: names heading away early next year, Jason Eldeen.

What's in 1312 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,160 Speaker 2: the country? It's something, and yet suddenly it is huge. 1313 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 2: You must have enjoyed that ride. 1314 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I kind of always thought country music 1315 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 9: was cool. You know, I kind of gravitated toward guys that, 1316 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:04,560 Speaker 9: you know, I thought were a little bit different, guys 1317 01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 9: like Ronnie Millsap and Alabama and some of those guys 1318 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 9: when I was growing up. And you know, I think 1319 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,160 Speaker 9: with every sort of new generation of artists, we we 1320 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 9: bring our influences into the into the genre. And and 1321 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,040 Speaker 9: for me that was a lot of obviously a lot 1322 01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 9: of country music, but a lot of rock and southern 1323 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 9: rock and roll too. And so, you know, I think 1324 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 9: now when people turn on the radio, turn on country radio, 1325 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 9: if you hadn't listened to it in a while, you know, 1326 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 9: it's different. There's there's things all over the board, from 1327 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 9: you know, pop country stuff to now it's you know, 1328 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,960 Speaker 9: it's switching back around. Guys like Zach Top coming out 1329 01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 9: that are super traditional again, and so there's a little 1330 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:44,840 Speaker 9: bit of everything, man, And I think it's a it's 1331 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:45,439 Speaker 9: a fun time. 1332 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 2: Is music beta for it? Is country music beta for it? 1333 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:51,440 Speaker 6: Is it? 1334 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:51,560 Speaker 8: What? 1335 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 3: Is it? 1336 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,960 Speaker 2: Beta for it? The whole experience? More artists, more doesn't 1337 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 2: mean better. 1338 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I I think so. I mean, I 1339 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 9: think it's it's you know the old say, and it's uh, 1340 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 9: quality versus quantity. I guess you know what I mean. 1341 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,520 Speaker 9: It's like, you want to have a lot of great 1342 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,360 Speaker 9: artists that are making great records, and you know, a 1343 01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,560 Speaker 9: lot of times there's sort of this almost like this 1344 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:17,919 Speaker 9: flush of new artists that come in and you got, 1345 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 9: you know, all these songs and all these names, and 1346 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,840 Speaker 9: it's kind of hard to put a face with a name. 1347 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 9: And then all of a sudden, you know, guys start, 1348 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 9: you know, so the cream kind of rises to the top, 1349 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,640 Speaker 9: guys start breaking through, and you know, and you start 1350 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 9: to see who those guys are, and it's you know, 1351 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 9: it's cool and those are the ones that you know, 1352 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,200 Speaker 9: the most impactful or those kind of guys. But you know, 1353 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 9: now it's streaming and all the things all over the place. 1354 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 9: You know, those those artists, those stars can kind of 1355 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 9: come out of nowhere and come from anywhere. So it's 1356 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 9: just a different time. You know, it's a different time 1357 01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,240 Speaker 9: than it was when I kind of hit the scene. 1358 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 9: And right now you just kind of never know what 1359 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 9: that next artist is gonna come from. 1360 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 2: You another one of these You move to Nashville to 1361 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,520 Speaker 2: make it big and you did. How The last person 1362 01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 2: I interviewed who did that was Luke Colmbs and that 1363 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 2: worked for him, it worked for you. How many people 1364 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,480 Speaker 2: do move to Nashville? All those people, how many actually 1365 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 2: make it? How reals that story? 1366 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 9: I mean, I don't know what the number is, but 1367 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 9: I gotta I gotta say that, you know, out of 1368 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,120 Speaker 9: the people that moved to Nashville, you know, And I 1369 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:24,000 Speaker 9: guess it depends on what you're what making it means. 1370 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 9: You know, if if making it means you get a 1371 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,640 Speaker 9: record deal, then then there's probably a lot of those people. 1372 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,080 Speaker 9: If making it means you come in, you start writing songs, 1373 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 9: and you start getting your songs cut. For a lot 1374 01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 9: of people, that's their goal. And I feel like, you know, 1375 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 9: that's that for me. I feel like the people that 1376 01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,800 Speaker 9: come to town trying to get a deal, that that 1377 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,200 Speaker 9: really get out there and you know, it really happens 1378 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,920 Speaker 9: for him on a on a big level. I got 1379 01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 9: to think that that percentage is pretty small. You know, 1380 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:57,880 Speaker 9: probably maybe maybe five percent if if you're lucky. You know, 1381 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 9: everybody comes, every artist, see, everybody that wants to be 1382 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,760 Speaker 9: a country music singer comes to Nashville. Their goal is 1383 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,880 Speaker 9: to get a record deal and you know, get played 1384 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,520 Speaker 9: on the radio and be able to go tour and 1385 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,760 Speaker 9: do all those things. And the reality is it's just hard, man. 1386 01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 9: Even some of the I mean, some of the best 1387 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,439 Speaker 9: singers I've ever heard that have come through this town 1388 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 9: that just for whatever reason, it didn't it didn't happen 1389 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,560 Speaker 9: for him, and you don't really know why that is. 1390 01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 9: So it's a tough business man, and and you know, 1391 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,240 Speaker 9: fortunately for us, we were one of the few that 1392 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 9: that kind of was able to break through. And now 1393 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 9: we've been around for twenty years, so it's been a 1394 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,480 Speaker 9: it's been a good ride, but it's it's definitely a 1395 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 9: tough business. And you know, not for the faint of heart, 1396 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 9: for sure. 1397 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 2: Do you believe that if you're truly gifted, you will succeed. 1398 01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,200 Speaker 9: I think it depends, man. I think it's a combination 1399 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,000 Speaker 9: of a lot of things. You know, it's you know, 1400 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,000 Speaker 9: I think you kind of have to be you know, obviously, 1401 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 9: talent has to be there, you have to have that. 1402 01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 9: I think you also need a lot of a lot 1403 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 9: of luck on yourself, a lot of you know, surrounding 1404 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,439 Speaker 9: yourself for the right team, I think is really key 1405 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,280 Speaker 9: to that. But just because you're a great artist and 1406 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 9: a great singer, great guitar player, whatever it is, that 1407 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 9: doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen for you. You know, 1408 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 9: you got to you still got to have hit songs 1409 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 9: that that's kind of what moves everything is. The songs 1410 01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 9: kind of make everything else go. So you could be 1411 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 9: the best singer in the world, but if you don't 1412 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:26,920 Speaker 9: know how to pick a hit, you know, it's just 1413 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 9: for Sometimes it just doesn't happen. 1414 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:30,760 Speaker 2: Okay, listen, hold on, I'll give you the dates in 1415 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,760 Speaker 2: a moment for his two hero and the Early pot 1416 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 2: up next year.

Now we're talking, 1421 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 2: you know, before the breakabout success and hits and all 1422 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 2: that sort of stuff and all the number ones you've 1423 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 2: had and you've got twenty years under your belt. Now 1424 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,240 Speaker 2: what's a hit today is to say what was a 1425 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,480 Speaker 2: hit twenty years ago? And how's that changed? And how 1426 01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:57,960 Speaker 2: do you know? 1427 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 9: I mean, I think for me personally, it's probably change 1428 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 9: just from a standpoint of when I cut my first album, 1429 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 9: I was twenty seven, twenty six or twenty seven years old. 1430 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 9: So obviously there's some songs that I cut on that 1431 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 9: record that now you know, at forty eight, I wouldn't cut. 1432 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 9: But I think ultimately it's the same. I mean, you 1433 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,880 Speaker 9: want something, you know, you want a song that says 1434 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,240 Speaker 9: something you wanted to kind of to me, I like 1435 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 9: to cut songs and it feels like I wrote, you know, 1436 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,800 Speaker 9: something that I wanted to write, and you know, and 1437 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,600 Speaker 9: it has to be melodically cool, it has to be 1438 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:36,960 Speaker 9: lyrically something that I would say, and I think sonically 1439 01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 9: just something that's easy on the ears that you want 1440 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,240 Speaker 9: to listen to over and over and over. And I think, 1441 01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 9: you know, it's a combination of a lot of those things. 1442 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 9: For me, anyway, That's the way I look at it. 1443 01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,880 Speaker 9: You know, and now I'm you know, trying to cut 1444 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 9: songs that maybe, uh, I don't know, for lack of 1445 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:54,960 Speaker 9: a better term, have a little more meat on the 1446 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 9: bone than they did when I was, you know, a 1447 01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,440 Speaker 9: twenty six, twenty seven year old kid coming up in 1448 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,000 Speaker 9: the business. So but back then, we were doing songs 1449 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,800 Speaker 9: like Hicktown. You know, it was more fun and just 1450 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 9: trying to establish like, hey, we're country music, but it's 1451 01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:08,760 Speaker 9: it's kind of in your face rock and roll too. 1452 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,440 Speaker 9: And it was a really fine line of trying to 1453 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 9: let people know that that's what we did. But then 1454 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,360 Speaker 9: it was also we could have those songs that had 1455 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,720 Speaker 9: some meat on the bone like an Amberillosky and those 1456 01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,160 Speaker 9: kind of things too, and all that was on the 1457 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,440 Speaker 9: first record. So I think consciously, for me, that was 1458 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,440 Speaker 9: something that I wanted to do in the beginning. And 1459 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 9: the older I've gotten, you know, you try to focus 1460 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 9: more on like the you know, the the real songs 1461 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,160 Speaker 9: that have a great lyric and you know, you feel 1462 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:35,800 Speaker 9: like are going to be around for a while, and 1463 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,720 Speaker 9: some of the little tongue in cheek things I'd stay 1464 01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,520 Speaker 9: away from a little more than I used to. But 1465 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,720 Speaker 9: different time in life we're twenty years, twenty years down 1466 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:44,520 Speaker 9: the road at this point. 1467 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 2: Does it get easier as success hits you or how to? 1468 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 9: I don't know. I think it's it's hard to get success, 1469 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:57,960 Speaker 9: you know, and I'm sure you've heard this before, but 1470 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,880 Speaker 9: it's hard to get that initial success. You know, you 1471 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,800 Speaker 9: wait a lifetime to get that, and then all of 1472 01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,680 Speaker 9: a sudden it you know, at least in our case, 1473 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 9: it kind of came out of nowhere. After you know, however, 1474 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 9: many years, fifteen years, all of a sudden it came 1475 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,880 Speaker 9: out of nowhere. And then then you've got to kind 1476 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,760 Speaker 9: of maintain that. So now you got all these expectations of, oh, 1477 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 9: your last album did this, and you had this many 1478 01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,000 Speaker 9: number ones off the last album and it's sold this much. 1479 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 9: So anything that doesn't do that on the next record 1480 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 9: is not considered a failure. But you feel like, you know, 1481 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,600 Speaker 9: you're kind of losing a little bit of momentum, and 1482 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 9: that's not always the case. I just think as you 1483 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 9: get older as an artist, you're not the shiny new 1484 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 9: penny anymore, you know what I mean, and you kind 1485 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 9: of have to like find ways to reinvent yourself a 1486 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,679 Speaker 9: little bit. And so I think it gets a little 1487 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 9: harder to keep the momentum going and kind of stay 1488 01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:49,040 Speaker 9: on top, but it's not real easy to get there. 1489 01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:50,560 Speaker 9: And the initially either. 1490 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,120 Speaker 2: Way, does touring fit into this because I look at 1491 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:57,320 Speaker 2: your schedule, man, you working your ass off. 1492 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,000 Speaker 9: Well, you know, I love the tour. I mean, that's 1493 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,879 Speaker 9: why I got into the business. I love making records. 1494 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,479 Speaker 9: That's fun. But I do that so I can go 1495 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 9: tour and play those on the road, and so you know, 1496 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 9: all the other stuff has kind of worked. The touring 1497 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,360 Speaker 9: side of it, to me is the fun part that 1498 01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,439 Speaker 9: I get to go and you know, jump on stage 1499 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,640 Speaker 9: with my band and hang out and have fun and 1500 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,720 Speaker 9: you know, play for people. That's why that's why I 1501 01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:27,880 Speaker 9: started doing it. That's what's fun for me. And you know, 1502 01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:29,599 Speaker 9: so to me, man, as long as people are coming 1503 01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,640 Speaker 9: out and interested in what we're doing, we're gonna go 1504 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,720 Speaker 9: out and keep trying to get better and you know, 1505 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 9: come up with cool ways to make albums and go 1506 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 9: out and tour and give them something that they haven't 1507 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 9: seen before. And that's the goal for us every year. 1508 01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 2: Fantastic. What's your business philosophy? Because in looking at you, 1509 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,520 Speaker 2: you you got quite the thing going on in restaurants 1510 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,639 Speaker 2: and food and wine and all that sort of stuff. 1511 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 2: Are you across all of that? Do you run your 1512 01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 2: whole thing? 1513 01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:58,479 Speaker 9: Well, there's a lot of people in place that run that. 1514 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 9: I can't tell you that I do that myself. But 1515 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 9: you know, the one thing I have always tried to 1516 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,599 Speaker 9: do is really pay attention to you know, as you 1517 01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,080 Speaker 9: has this you know kind of happens and you become 1518 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 9: more famous and those kind of things. You know, you 1519 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 9: get a lot of opportunities that come your way.

And the biggest thing for me 1522 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,720 Speaker 9: is to make sure that it's something that that I 1523 01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:22,960 Speaker 9: feel really good about, that I feel like represents me 1524 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:24,880 Speaker 9: and my brand and something that I want to put 1525 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,000 Speaker 9: my name on. And there's been a lot of things 1526 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 9: that we've said no to and and to me, you know, 1527 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 9: if it's something that makes sense and it's something that 1528 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,040 Speaker 9: I think is a good idea or something that I 1529 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:37,719 Speaker 9: I think is cool that I want to see through, 1530 01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 9: then uh, then we do those things. And sometimes you 1531 01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 9: hit a home run and sometimes you strike out, but 1532 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 9: you just you know, figure it out and you know 1533 01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,679 Speaker 9: it's been fun kind of learning that business side of everything, uh, 1534 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,920 Speaker 9: from the restaurant side to the you know, getting into 1535 01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,360 Speaker 9: the liquor business and the wine business and uh, you know, 1536 01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,000 Speaker 9: the bar business, all those things.

I don't know if you've heard, but the 1571 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 2: bridge may close my ongoing theme with the bridge may close. 1572 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:29,840 Speaker 2: The bridges in Auckland, by the way, and the question 1573 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,080 Speaker 2: is how many times do who is what are they 1574 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:36,679 Speaker 2: calling themselves?

How 1575 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,080 Speaker 2: many times do they have to say repeated ad nausea 1576 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,839 Speaker 2: and by the digital media, EE heralds and stuffs and stuff. 1577 01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:44,880 Speaker 2: How many times do they have to say the bridge 1578 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:50,759 Speaker 2: may close and it doesn't before everyone just goes stop 1579 01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,599 Speaker 2: saying the bridge may close. What's the answer is at 1580 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:59,960 Speaker 2: twenty is a hundred? Has the bridge ever closed? 1581 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 23: I think it's closed, but only when they haven't told 1582 01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:05,200 Speaker 23: anybody that it's going to. 1583 01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 2: When you're in the office and you're going and you're 1584 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,639 Speaker 2: in charge of the bridge closed message, does anyone else 1585 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 2: in the office go not that again? 1586 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,240 Speaker 23: But remember all those times that chucks have fallen over 1587 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 23: and broken it, And then it's. 1588 01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 2: I do I do remember that one time and it 1589 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,559 Speaker 2: didn't break. It didn't even fall over. It just leaned 1590 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:26,040 Speaker 2: against it momentarily. And the world changed at that point, 1591 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,240 Speaker 2: wasn't it. That's where the world changed? At that particular 1592 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:32,760 Speaker 2: moment in time. The world changed for Aucklander's who were 1593 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:38,640 Speaker 2: forever to be bothered incessantly and endlessly by boring bureaucrats 1594 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,759 Speaker 2: who have no sense of anything other than the importance 1595 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,160 Speaker 2: of sending out yet another email to get another board 1596 01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,640 Speaker 2: journalist in a digital newsroom to yet again warn us 1597 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:52,679 Speaker 2: that something may happen that doesn't.

Is 1600 01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:01,599 Speaker 2: the Defense Force getting gifts and hospitality? He passed off 1601 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,920 Speaker 2: as building business relationships? Now here's the headline. The headline 1602 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:05,680 Speaker 2: was how much, how much? 1603 01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:06,040 Speaker 6: How much? 1604 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 2: How many gifts and hospitality did they received? In the 1605 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,720 Speaker 2: answers four hundred and nineteen thousand dollars worth? And you 1606 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:14,160 Speaker 2: immediately go, what are you serious? One hundred and nine 1607 01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 2: almost half a million dollars. But then of course down 1608 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 2: the article it goes, this happened between twenty sixteen and 1609 01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,439 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, so in other words, nine years. So 1610 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 2: four hundred thousand dibarted by nine is give or take 1611 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,000 Speaker 2: forty thousand dollars a year for a whole defense force. 1612 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:33,400 Speaker 2: Is that a lot of stuff? And what are you 1613 01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,479 Speaker 2: buying if you give somebody in the defense force something? 1614 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 4: I'll come back to what any planes from Qatar in 1615 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 4: the area? 1616 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 2: Now there's no planes. There's a Tom Tom watch. 1617 01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 4: There's a shame, isn't it that there's no planes. 1618 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 2: It would be good if it was a plane.

Of course, in 1633 01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:30,400 Speaker 2: tears so bednot was being well, well, kind and gentle. 1634 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:38,000 Speaker 24: Yeah, she looks absolutely miserable. Labor MPs. They can points 1635 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,880 Speaker 24: as much as Nick can points, as much as they like. 1636 01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,160 Speaker 24: The fact is labor MPs are going on the record 1637 01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 24: saying that the Chancellor is toast and the reality is 1638 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 24: that she is a human shield for his incompetent, that 1639 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:50,360 Speaker 24: his is starmer. 1640 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,439 Speaker 2: Of course he was being kind and gentle too. 1641 01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:53,479 Speaker 19: I was to speaker. 1642 01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,200 Speaker 16: I have to say I always cheered up when she 1643 01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,479 Speaker 16: asked me questions or responds to a statement, because she 1644 01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:02,400 Speaker 16: always makes a complete, massive, and irrelevant. 1645 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:07,360 Speaker 17: They are international correspondence with ins and eye insurance, peace 1646 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:08,879 Speaker 17: of mind for New Zealand business. 1647 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 2: Yes, what's going on at B's money? 1648 01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:12,120 Speaker 15: Mike goodballing to you? 1649 01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,880 Speaker 2: This is there more to this than meets the I mean, 1650 01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 2: first of all, Rachel reeves and teas at question time 1651 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 2: as the whole nation watches. It is one thing, and 1652 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,200 Speaker 2: it's a market mover. But do we know what leads 1653 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:23,400 Speaker 2: to it? What's the story? 1654 01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,719 Speaker 15: Well, there are several different explanations for it. The first 1655 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:32,720 Speaker 15: is that she had an unspecified personal difficulty, which she 1656 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:35,000 Speaker 15: hasn't told us anything about. That's what she has said, 1657 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 15: and it's what Starmer has said. Secondly is that she 1658 01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:44,839 Speaker 15: was still reeling from a poisonous exchange with the Speaker 1659 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,679 Speaker 15: of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, who had tipped 1660 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:52,120 Speaker 15: her off a couple of days before about two long answers. 1661 01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,599 Speaker 15: And the third one, and this is the one which 1662 01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 15: I think the entire country will believe, is that she 1663 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 15: was under an awful lot of pressure and had to 1664 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 15: sit there and listen as kelear Starmer failed to stand 1665 01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,479 Speaker 15: up for her in the House of Commons. Well, it 1666 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:08,320 Speaker 15: seemed as if she was going to be thrown under 1667 01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:12,760 Speaker 15: a bus in order to preserve his position. And you know, 1668 01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,920 Speaker 15: we may hear more detail later, but that's what I 1669 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:21,200 Speaker 15: would cleave too, frankly, as as an explanation. 1670 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:22,680 Speaker 2: How big a deal is it? And the reason I 1671 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 2: asked that is that is the yield on the bond 1672 01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 2: market did move when they saw it, and the borrowing 1673 01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,280 Speaker 2: costs for the British government went up, So there was 1674 01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:35,080 Speaker 2: a material market move as a result of watching a 1675 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,559 Speaker 2: chancellor in tears and question times. I mean, you don't 1676 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,120 Speaker 2: see that very often, do you? 1677 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 15: You don't. I mean we ought to remember that the 1678 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:50,040 Speaker 15: markets like stability more than anything else. Would seemed to 1679 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:57,280 Speaker 15: prefer stability when it's downhill to stability of an upward variation. 1680 01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,480 Speaker 15: By what I mean is that nobody, nobody could argue 1681 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,679 Speaker 15: that Rachel Reeves has been a successful chancellor. That being said, 1682 01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:11,880 Speaker 15: I have no doubt that the real villains of this piece, 1683 01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 15: with the labor backbenchers, the morons who believe that we 1684 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:20,599 Speaker 15: have money simply to throw away, and that there is 1685 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 15: there is no need to arrest our incredible addiction to 1686 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:31,800 Speaker 15: spending and spending and spending. You know you heard these 1687 01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:36,400 Speaker 15: labor mpces rebels speak, well, we can't let down that 1688 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 15: the elderly, we can't let down that they're disabled. We 1689 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:43,680 Speaker 15: can't let we haven't got the money. It really is that. 1690 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 6: Straightforward, precisely. 1691 01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,200 Speaker 2: I mean you don't want to object by it. And 1692 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,679 Speaker 2: I suppose there's an a gender thing at play here 1693 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,760 Speaker 2: to the extent that I mean, looking at the pictures Rod, 1694 01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:56,760 Speaker 2: she looks dreadful, doesn't she. I mean the under her eyes, 1695 01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:01,519 Speaker 2: there's no escape. She looks appalled in one wonders for 1696 01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,480 Speaker 2: her mental health, whether she's got the wherewithal and afforditude 1697 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 2: to carry on. 1698 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 15: Well, well, indeed, I think that's absolutely right, and I 1699 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,160 Speaker 15: think you would also be very very dignified of her 1700 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 15: to say, look, I was trying to save the British economy. 1701 01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:20,440 Speaker 15: You've given it away by caving into a bunch of rebels. 1702 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:26,320 Speaker 15: I'm not doing this anymore. Get someone else, and I 1703 01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,519 Speaker 15: think she would be happier for a while. But of 1704 01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:30,800 Speaker 15: course there is pride at stake as well. You know, 1705 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,200 Speaker 15: she doesn't want to be remembered as probably the least 1706 01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,240 Speaker 15: successful chancellor. Well, I suppose you would say this is 1707 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:43,200 Speaker 15: quasi quarte. But going back before then, even because her 1708 01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:46,720 Speaker 15: first budget was disastrous, you know, it was launched with 1709 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 15: the with the cry of we we must go for growth, 1710 01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,760 Speaker 15: that is the number one priority. And she scoffed that 1711 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 15: by putting national insurance up on employers. I know that, Eddie. 1712 01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:01,439 Speaker 2: Sorry, go just I mean just I'm looking at I'm 1713 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 2: looking at Raina there, and I'm looking at Starma there, 1714 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 2: and and they if you're in charge of the money 1715 01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,479 Speaker 2: and there isn't any moving the bond market and you did, 1716 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 2: It's just like they look bad, don't they. I mean, 1717 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:16,720 Speaker 2: would the average. 1718 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 15: Yes, yes, I mean labor is doing terribly badly in 1719 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:27,240 Speaker 15: the opinion polls. People really don't like this government. And yes, 1720 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,479 Speaker 15: it does look bad. It looks bad at a number 1721 01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,080 Speaker 15: of levels. Firstly, that that despite the fact that later 1722 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,960 Speaker 15: he backtracked and said that Rachel Reefs was going nowhere, 1723 01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:43,800 Speaker 15: which could be interpreted in many ways. Suppose that he 1724 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,440 Speaker 15: left her out to dry. You know, when asked directly 1725 01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:50,559 Speaker 15: in the House of Commons about about whether she would 1726 01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 15: still be the chanceller in four years time. He refused 1727 01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:57,599 Speaker 15: to answer, and that it's just such. He has been 1728 01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 15: criticized for his behavior before, particularly towards female MPs. A 1729 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 15: friend of mine is an MP there Rosy Duffield who 1730 01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:13,680 Speaker 15: left the party in September and just found his manner odious. 1731 01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:16,320 Speaker 15: And I think that's what I think a lot of 1732 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 15: people possibly saw in the House of Commons today. 1733 01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,439 Speaker 2: Think you're right, okay, mate, we'll see you next week. 1734 01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:24,240 Speaker 2: Appreciate very much. Rod Little. Just before we leave Britain. 1735 01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,679 Speaker 2: The National Grid may well be receiving a lawyer's letter 1736 01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 2: because you remember the National Grid was responsible and certainly 1737 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,759 Speaker 2: the airport Heathrow will argue the case. But when Heathrow 1738 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:37,200 Speaker 2: burst into flames and Heathrow got closed and thousands and 1739 01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of people were unfortunately re rooted and 1740 01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 2: they rang the head of Heathrow, he had his phone 1741 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,639 Speaker 2: on silent. I'm sure they'll be raised in the court issue. 1742 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 2: But nevertheless, he thrower looking to sue the National Grid 1743 01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 2: because the problem was known. They claim at the substation 1744 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,599 Speaker 2: they were aware of the problems. Is twenty eighteen failed 1745 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,080 Speaker 2: to fix that. The lawyer are going to get involved 1746 01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:56,760 Speaker 2: in that. And I've got the update on small boat 1747 01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,640 Speaker 2: crossings in the Channel. Twenty thousand people have arrived in 1748 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 2: the UK for the first half of this year. Because 1749 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,759 Speaker 2: the end of June just came the other day. Small 1750 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,280 Speaker 2: boats are up forty eight percent on the year. On 1751 01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:10,759 Speaker 2: Sunday alone, this past Sunday alone, fifteen hundred people arrived 1752 01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:15,800 Speaker 2: in Britain illegally via boat from France, seventy five percent 1753 01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:19,040 Speaker 2: high from the equivalent figureback in twenty twenty three. There's 1754 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,760 Speaker 2: some legislation through the Parliament at the moment. They want 1755 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,360 Speaker 2: to use some counter terror powers against people, smugglers, travel 1756 01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,760 Speaker 2: band social media blackouts, phone restrictions, all of that sort 1757 01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:29,680 Speaker 2: of stuff. Already, twenty twenty five has been a new 1758 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,160 Speaker 2: record for small boat arrivals in the first six months 1759 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 2: of this year since data first started getting collected. And 1760 01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:36,840 Speaker 2: this is interesting because it tells you how new the 1761 01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,040 Speaker 2: problem is. The data first started getting collected in twenty eighteen, 1762 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,800 Speaker 2: so it's hardly a long term issue, very much a 1763 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,640 Speaker 2: recent one. In every government in the recent days that 1764 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,320 Speaker 2: said they'll fix it, and no one has eight forty five. 1765 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:53,080 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1766 01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:53,759 Speaker 1: by News. 1767 01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:57,080 Speaker 2: Talks at b Mike talking of Rachael Reeves, did you 1768 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 2: notice the picture briefly appear at the end of Clarkson's 1769 01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,960 Speaker 2: Farm all the conspiracy. I don't think John, that was 1770 01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,479 Speaker 2: a conspiracy. Yes I did. That'll be to do with 1771 01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 2: the fact that she changed the taxes around intergenerational farm 1772 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:11,679 Speaker 2: management in this country and farmer's hater. Interesting report out 1773 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,639 Speaker 2: this morning on millionaires leaving Britain. They reckon last year 1774 01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,880 Speaker 2: that there were about eleven thousand of them ten thousand, 1775 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,080 Speaker 2: eight hundred left Britain. There are seventy fourth thousand. This 1776 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 2: is the non don stuff she changed, and so you're 1777 01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 2: now being picked at forty percent, whereas before you got 1778 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,400 Speaker 2: away with it. And so last year ten thousand, eight 1779 01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:30,600 Speaker 2: hundred millionaires left Britain, which is up one hundred and 1780 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 2: fifty seven percent, more than any country in the world 1781 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:38,760 Speaker 2: apart from China. This morning Henleyan Partners are reporting that 1782 01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,040 Speaker 2: they think this year it'll be sixteen thousand, five hundred millionaire. 1783 01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 2: So between the two years you're talking about twenty seven 1784 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,559 Speaker 2: twenty eight thousand millionaires leaving Britain. Briefly, back to this 1785 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,679 Speaker 2: business of the defense force. The thing that I found 1786 01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:55,280 Speaker 2: interesting and whether they're sort of alarm four hundred and 1787 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,400 Speaker 2: nineteen thousand dollars worth of I don't know what you 1788 01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:01,479 Speaker 2: call it, gifts from various peace between twenty sixteen and 1789 01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, so over a ninety a period. I 1790 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 2: mean forty thousand dollars a year for an entire force. 1791 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 2: I mean a Tom Tom watch, some Tom Tom watch accessories, 1792 01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:14,559 Speaker 2: some beer, wine and spirits.

They've got 1831 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,439 Speaker 2: the electric mountain bike at the gravel Bike. Have a 1832 01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 2: look at their website. We had them on the program 1833 01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 2: and the technology they're using I think it was Chinese. 1834 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,280 Speaker 2: I can't remember what drives it, but anyway, it's the 1835 01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 2: cleverness has won the design of the bike and to 1836 01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,160 Speaker 2: the technology that drives it.

They're gob smackingly expensive and what I 1842 01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:47,479 Speaker 2: like about that is that I don't think they're made 1843 01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 2: for New Zealanders generally, but they're made for the international market. 1844 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,760 Speaker 2: And that's more of what New Zealand should be doing. 1845 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:55,760 Speaker 2: I mean the Chinese. If you want to go baseline, 1846 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,559 Speaker 2: the Chinese is going to beat your knee bike all. 1847 01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:58,080 Speaker 3: Day, every day. 1848 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,400 Speaker 2: I mean, the car industry is finding that out. So 1849 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,800 Speaker 2: you don't go baseline. What you do is you go 1850 01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 2: top end and you charge them like a wounded bull. 1851 01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:08,320 Speaker 2: And as long as you're good, the world is full 1852 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,200 Speaker 2: of people who are prepared to pay that sort of money. 1853 01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:12,680 Speaker 2: So well done them.
