1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty, local and

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: global exposure like.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 2: No other journalist. Mark Sainsbury's with us tonight. Hey sains O,

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: how's it going?

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 3: Good? Thing?

6
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 4: Loads say a fantastic program?

7
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: You like it?

8
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 4: I love it? Yeah it is.

9
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: It's sideways, Stuart Nation, formal Labor MPs so us.

10
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: Hey Stuart Ryan, how are you making good?

11
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: Thanks? Have you watched The White Lotus?

12
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 3: I have? Of course I love it.

13
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: It's basically, if you explain it to people, it's like

14
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: a TV show that mocks rich people who go to resorts.

15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: That's basically.

16
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 3: Maybe that's why we love it. Yeah.

17
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: Hey, let's talk about the four year term, Stuart? What

18
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: do you reckon? Good idea?

19
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely no brain. In fact, I wouldn't take it to referendum.

20
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: You know, people elect their MPs and department to make decisions.

21
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: I don't think there's an MP I've ever spoken to

22
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: who doesn't want a four year term, even the general public.

23
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: The second tide of elections every three years. Let the

24
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: MP's vote on it. You've got to have a super

25
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: majority in order to get this constitution change through. So

26
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: basically labor and nationally have to support it. I reckon,

27
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 3: if you put it to MP's and they'd vote for

28
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: it without it going to referendum, make it happen.

29
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they'd want a reference. Well, Winston would

30
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: insist on a referendum, of course, Mark, what do you think?

31
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I totally your Graham. And it's the problem

32
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 4: is the term. It's far too short. People give them

33
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 4: the power, they take a while to get used to it,

34
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: they start operating things, and then next thing the campaigning

35
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 4: for the next election. I think a four year term

36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: is much more sensible, and I do also agree that

37
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: there should be more power than the select committees to

38
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: volve some of the surround as well. So yeah, look,

39
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: I I'm not that bothered if they want to have

40
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: the referendum, but in the PASSI Stewart, they've all hung

41
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 4: off in the path now. I think the last time

42
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: we had a referendum on this was back in the

43
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: late sixties. I think it was.

44
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 2: For ninety I think we had one.

45
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: I'd have another one there, Yeah, that'd be right.

46
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I wasn't born in the sixties, Mark, but the

47
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: times have changed and I don't think that David Seymour

48
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: suggestion is sensible. Why would you hand over power to

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: the opposition when you're in government. Look, things work pretty

50
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: well in select committies as they are. My experience, I've

51
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: been a lot of selectivities is INPs actually work really

52
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: closely together. The public don't see that, Selick. Minies work well.

53
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: Don't hand over power to the opposition on select committees.

54
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: Just suck it up when you're in opposition being an

55
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 3: opposition when you're in government, government and make stuff happen.

56
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: It's the problem with this government.

57
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: Do you know. Do you know why he's done that? Though?

58
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: Get there.

59
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: The reason, No, The reason he's done it is because

60
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: of when you guys were in power and the extreme

61
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: power that you guys had, and obviously it was a pandemic,

62
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: but the extreme power that you guys had and the

63
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: feeling which clearly the public have now come to appreciate

64
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: that you had too much power and there wasn't enough

65
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: say from other groups. He's just saying, if we're going

66
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: to go for four years, we need to balance it

67
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: out a bit.

68
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: Oh that's rubbish. Look, the bottom line is, mate, is

69
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: that the National Party will goal government, will control all

70
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 3: select committees. At the moment, John Key's government controlled all

71
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: slect committees. It's one of the privileges of being in

72
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: government you get controlled of the select committees. But as mentioned,

73
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: what most people don't realize is MP's of all hues

74
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: and colors actually get on really well to ensure that

75
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: legislation and bills placed in front of them. Our work through.

76
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: They work really well with officials is very, very really

77
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: caation there is, but very really politics and selecting. They

78
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: just leave it as it. There's except change the term

79
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: for four years.

80
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: Just go on with it, all right, We're going to

81
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: get on with this. Spray Mark Sainsbury's Stuart Nash on

82
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: the Huddle.

83
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty elevate the

84
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: marketing of your home.

85
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: Twelve minutes away from six For those who are still

86
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: interested in the pregnant woman who gave birth on the

87
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: plane into New Plymouth today on a near New Zealand

88
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: flight that had caused the cancelation of the next one. Anyway,

89
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: someone has just got in touch as a midwife, she says.

90
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: You can basically fly up to four hours in flight

91
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: length to the end of the fortieth week. This is

92
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: according to the New Zealand College of Midwives. So there

93
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: you go, Mark Sainsbury and Stuart Nash on the h tonight.

94
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Welcome back guys. Now let's talk about restaurant Well, we

95
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: could do restaurant brands, but I'll come to them in

96
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: a second. Actually we could also talk about the restaurant

97
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: at school. Well would you call it restaurant quality? This

98
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: is David Seymour in his school lunches, and Carmel Sippaloni

99
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: today has come out and said, which I think is

100
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: a little extreme, Mark, that David Seymour needs to resign

101
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: as a minister for watching the school lunch program. What

102
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: do you reckon?

103
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I hope springs a channel, of course, I mean, hey,

104
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: and of course he's going to say that.

105
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: I mean.

106
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: The thing with it is this was such identified as

107
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 4: his issue. He's the one who pushed it through. He's

108
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 4: the one who did all the front footing on it.

109
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: So he's got to wear the flat when it doesn't

110
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: go right. But you know there's not going to be

111
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 4: a resignation.

112
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: No, Stuart. Do you think if a kid's hungry they'll

113
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: eat what's in front of them?

114
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: No? I don't actually, but I agree with Mike on this.

115
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: You know, he shouldn't resign, but he has to take

116
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: the flag. I mean, the meals that I've seen don't

117
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: look particularly palatable. But I'll be honest with you, mate,

118
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: that this sort of comes to represent what it extends for,

119
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: and it's a mediocrity. This, as Mark said, this was

120
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: a really big platform for them. And I'm a big

121
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: fan of lunches and schools, and I saw the stuff

122
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: under the other under the previous program. It was pretty nutritious,

123
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: it was pretty nice. It was good stuff. What I

124
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: see now just up to these kids. I mean, you know,

125
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: you have to be pretty bloody hungry to eat it,

126
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 3: But it isn't.

127
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: That the points to it. You're meant to be pretty

128
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: bloody hungry to get it because it's free.

129
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: No, I don't buy into that whatsoever. Just because it's free,

130
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean you feed up shit. If it's free,

131
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: you've got to make.

132
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: Sure it's not. We're all Ryan, let's keep it real.

133
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: What did you have when you went to school? I

134
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: had lunch and sausage and sam and it was the

135
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: same every day. But these kids are complaining, they're getting

136
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: pitt pit eight days in a row, I would have

137
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: been absolutely delighted.

138
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not the pitter pit that you go down

139
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: and buy after a game of whatever you play. And

140
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: this is a This is stuff that doesn't look that

141
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 3: pal to be honest. But you know, I get what

142
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: you're saying. But if you're going to do this, if

143
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: you're going to provide kids with lunch, make sure it's nutritious,

144
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: make sure it looks good, make sure it's palatable, and

145
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: cut out the waste. But as mentioned, this is this

146
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: is kind of where molling at the moment, which is

147
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: which is mediocrity, which is not good. They know what's

148
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: a big game but doesn't really deliver.

149
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Well, Well, what's happened here is that we've got the

150
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: program has morphed from what we mark. Originally we were

151
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: told there were kids so starving they couldn't learn. Now

152
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: we're hearing that there are kids who will throw the

153
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: lunch out because they don't want it. I mean, what

154
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: which which is that.

155
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: It doesn't necessarily have to be one or the other.

156
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: I mean, I agree with Stuart, if you're going to

157
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 4: provide a lunch, it should be nutritious. I mean, just

158
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: because they're getting it for free. Doesn't mean you can

159
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: give them crap. You know, it's afraid to pay for

160
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 4: your own food. So you just take what take what

161
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 4: you get. You know, they promised. The promise was these

162
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: would be nutritious, they would be they would be appetizing,

163
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: they would meet all the various needs. And it's simply

164
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: not working.

165
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,720

Speaker 4: Images the rest of the week, Ryan.

00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: They were good.

00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: They were good at case to about you.

170
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: For the rest of the week. You know, for for

171
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: a month, you eat these lunches and come back and

172
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: tell us if you think they're good and nutritious and impalatable.

173
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: You know, I'm eating high protein diet at the moment, Stuart.

174
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: I've told you that, I'm sure.

175
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: And you look bloody good for it. But you're a

176
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: lot better than these kids are.

177
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: Hey, let's talk about restaurant brands. So a sixty two

178
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: percent increase a strong result. This is the owner of KFC,

179
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: Taco Bell, et cetera. And fast food sales have been

180
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: on the rise, and this tends to happen when there's

181
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: a recession on because it's cheap of food, right, So

182
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: is that a good thing. I mean, obviously we should

183
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: be happy that a company is doing well, but what

184
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: does it say about the rest of us?

185
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: Mark?

186
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, look at I did you know the first thing

187
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: I thought when I saw this today was some KFC

188
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: sponsoring the or Blacks. You know, you watch the if

189
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: you if you watch any of the Live rugby and

190
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: especially with the you know, the Super rug Super Rugby,

191
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: You've got the you've got, you've got all the KFC.

192
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: It's all around it, you know. And I mean, look,

193
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: I indulge in k juicy if you've had a h

194
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: longous night the night before. So it's not that bit

195
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: rare of these days. But you know, I mean that's

196
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: let's be honest about it. Deep fried chicken.

197
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: It's good. It's good.

198
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: Do you reckon this chicken in there? How tell? The

199
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: really funny thing, right, is when you interviewed that when

200
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: you interviewed that guy Mike Igan, who's president of the

201
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: Resident Right Association, and you said, you asked them, is

202
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: the price of food going up and down? And he said,

203
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: the price of raw materials doesn't matter. I thought, that's it, mate,

204
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 3: It's not the price of food, it's the price of

205
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: raw materials. You know, we've got it. We've got an

206
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: obesity in this country. We've got a diabetics problem. We've

207
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: got a whole lot of unhealthy people running around and

208
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: part of the reason for that is they're eating KFC.

209
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: I mean there's stuff, you know, we talked about shep

210
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: food and schools. This stuff is terrible, it really is.

211
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: Let's be honest about that. We shouldn't be celebrating the

212
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: fact that we're eating more KFC.

213
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: And you guys, when you're in power, ste why didn't

Speaker 4: you be in the fuzzy drinks because these and know

215
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,000

Speaker 4: for the utub Allen Allen's of sugary drink.

217
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 3: All I want to ask r I want to ask
