Then they focus on 23 00:01:12,293 --> 00:01:14,732 Speaker 2: the businesses and then they rip off the businesses and 24 00:01:14,773 --> 00:01:18,053 Speaker 2: then then the platform slowly starts to die. Look at facebooks. 25 00:01:18,093 --> 00:01:18,693 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that. 26 00:01:18,693 --> 00:01:20,613 Speaker 3: There was a good chat as well, everybody gets fleeced 27 00:01:20,733 --> 00:01:24,773 Speaker 3: and then after three o'clock experiences versus stuff. 28 00:01:24,893 --> 00:01:27,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a that was a fantastic chat.

That is after three o'clock. After two o'clock, 98 00:04:36,813 --> 00:04:39,773 Speaker 3: something you're pretty hot on. In shitification, it's word of 99 00:04:39,773 --> 00:04:43,013 Speaker 3: the year from McCorry Dictionary over and Aussie. 100 00:04:43,373 --> 00:04:48,133 Speaker 2: Yeah. So platforms, digital platforms like of Facebook, but also 101 00:04:48,213 --> 00:04:54,013 Speaker 2: most digital companies will start off first they are good 102 00:04:54,053 --> 00:04:56,213 Speaker 2: to their users, so they do everything to get as 103 00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:59,453 Speaker 2: many users as they can. Then they abuse their users 104 00:04:59,453 --> 00:05:02,773 Speaker 2: when they've got enough users to make things better for 105 00:05:02,813 --> 00:05:06,373 Speaker 2: their business customers. And everyone seeing this on Facebook and 106 00:05:06,373 --> 00:05:09,413 Speaker 2: it's happening to Google now. Finally they abuse their business 107 00:05:09,493 --> 00:05:12,853 Speaker 2: customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then 108 00:05:13,293 --> 00:05:16,373 Speaker 2: they die. And that is the cycle of the Internet 109 00:05:16,453 --> 00:05:19,333 Speaker 2: right now. It's called in shitification, and so we want 110 00:05:19,373 --> 00:05:22,773 Speaker 2: to talk about that. Have you noticed Google, for example, 111 00:05:22,893 --> 00:05:24,893 Speaker 2: is under the spotlight at the moment for if you 112 00:05:24,933 --> 00:05:27,213 Speaker 2: try and search something, you don't get what you're looking for, 113 00:05:27,293 --> 00:05:29,413 Speaker 2: you get what they want to sell you. So if 114 00:05:29,453 --> 00:05:35,173 Speaker 2: you put in small wooden stall or small white wooden stool. 115 00:05:35,573 --> 00:05:37,453 Speaker 2: They won't give you that, and they'll give you things 116 00:05:37,493 --> 00:05:39,133 Speaker 2: close to that. They'll give you and they won't give 117 00:05:39,173 --> 00:05:40,973 Speaker 2: you the best one. They will give you what the 118 00:05:41,133 --> 00:05:45,493 Speaker 2: people have paid to see. And that Google's getting terrible. 119 00:05:45,493 --> 00:05:48,013 Speaker 2: Their search results are so much worse. I watched a 120 00:05:48,013 --> 00:05:50,093 Speaker 2: little short documentary on it the other day. Their search 121 00:05:50,133 --> 00:05:52,053 Speaker 2: results are so much worse than they were five years 122 00:05:52,093 --> 00:05:54,813 Speaker 2: ago because they're in the middle of in stitification. It's 123 00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:58,533 Speaker 2: happened to Facebook, it's happened to Uber overseas. So are 124 00:05:58,533 --> 00:06:00,053 Speaker 2: you noticing it and what do you think about it? 125 00:06:00,133 --> 00:06:02,013 Speaker 3: I'd love to know the people that actually click on 126 00:06:02,053 --> 00:06:04,933 Speaker 3: those sponsored posts on Google. I never do because quite 127 00:06:04,933 --> 00:06:07,133 Speaker 3: clearly that's an ad. If I am searching for something 128 00:06:07,213 --> 00:06:10,133 Speaker 3: and then it becomes sponsored, sponsored, sponsored, I just scroll 129 00:06:10,173 --> 00:06:10,853 Speaker 3: through that stuff. 130 00:06:11,013 --> 00:06:15,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they choke the reality that they choke what 131 00:06:15,493 --> 00:06:18,493 Speaker 2: you're actually looking for, and it just makes the service 132 00:06:19,013 --> 00:06:22,452 Speaker 2: so much worse. And as I was saying before, dating apps, 133 00:06:22,533 --> 00:06:24,613 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, you know, I'm not on them, but 134 00:06:24,613 --> 00:06:28,453 Speaker 2: I've been reading about what they do, and essentially they're 135 00:06:28,453 --> 00:06:30,813 Speaker 2: trying to get you to subscribe, and so they're choking 136 00:06:31,213 --> 00:06:33,213 Speaker 2: the quality of the service just for people that are 137 00:06:33,253 --> 00:06:37,413 Speaker 2: on their normally and then they start choking the service 138 00:06:37,453 --> 00:06:39,853 Speaker 2: for the subscribers to try and keep them on there. Yeah, 139 00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:43,413 Speaker 2: so's it's the let's say in grapification, will change. 140 00:06:43,253 --> 00:06:44,573 Speaker 3: The word gratifications. 141 00:06:44,613 --> 00:06:47,213 Speaker 2: We might have someone steaming into the studio and telling 142 00:06:47,293 --> 00:06:50,133 Speaker 2: us off. I think Hosking's allowed about ten s words 143 00:06:50,173 --> 00:06:51,573 Speaker 2: a show. We're out about two. 144 00:06:51,693 --> 00:06:53,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is going to be a good chat after 145 00:06:53,613 --> 00:06:55,613 Speaker 3: two o'clock. But right now, let's have a chat about 146 00:06:55,653 --> 00:06:58,213 Speaker 3: road user charges. The government could make decisions on how 147 00:06:58,253 --> 00:07:01,813 Speaker 3: to transition our vehicle fleet from fuel taxes to road 148 00:07:01,893 --> 00:07:05,293 Speaker 3: user charges as soon as next March, so the date 149 00:07:05,373 --> 00:07:08,853 Speaker 3: was included in tender documents uploaded to the government Electronic 150 00:07:09,013 --> 00:07:12,253 Speaker 3: Tender Services. But the Ministry is now seeking information from 151 00:07:12,293 --> 00:07:17,413 Speaker 3: businesses offering services that support the purchase, measurement and management 152 00:07:17,653 --> 00:07:21,493 Speaker 3: of road user charges or rucks. And it's a big 153 00:07:21,573 --> 00:07:24,653 Speaker 3: call from the government, I know. Simeon Brown Long floated 154 00:07:24,653 --> 00:07:28,773 Speaker 3: the idea of moving most if not all drivers to 155 00:07:28,813 --> 00:07:31,133 Speaker 3: a ruck system and get rid of fuel taxes. 156 00:07:31,213 --> 00:07:34,493 Speaker 2: So this means that so you play about seventy cents 157 00:07:34,853 --> 00:07:39,133 Speaker 2: in road user taxes per liter of petrol, right, Yeah, 158 00:07:39,173 --> 00:07:41,813 Speaker 2: so that would disappear, and you would have to buy 159 00:07:41,813 --> 00:07:44,773 Speaker 2: and advance your CA's for road users like you do 160 00:07:44,813 --> 00:07:47,173 Speaker 2: if you own a diesel. Yeah, and that would be everyone, yep, 161 00:07:47,213 --> 00:07:49,733 Speaker 2: because they've brought it in for EV's recently, they have. 162 00:07:49,973 --> 00:07:52,053 Speaker 2: And would it be more expensive for EV's because evs 163 00:07:52,053 --> 00:07:53,573 Speaker 2: are heavier? Are they going to work around that or 164 00:07:53,613 --> 00:07:55,253 Speaker 2: is it just the same for all light vehicle the 165 00:07:55,253 --> 00:07:56,533 Speaker 2: whole light vehicle fleet. 166 00:07:56,573 --> 00:07:58,533 Speaker 3: Well, it's a good question because at the moment, as 167 00:07:58,533 --> 00:08:01,173 Speaker 3: I understand it, EV's full EV's pay about the same 168 00:08:01,213 --> 00:08:04,013 Speaker 3: as a diesel vehicle. Yes, so they're all on the 169 00:08:04,093 --> 00:08:07,773 Speaker 3: even footing there, But if you've got a PHV you 170 00:08:07,853 --> 00:08:08,853 Speaker 3: pay half the rate. 171 00:08:09,293 --> 00:08:12,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I think that this isn't going to 172 00:08:12,013 --> 00:08:13,533 Speaker 2: be better for drivers though, This is going to be 173 00:08:13,533 --> 00:08:16,333 Speaker 2: more expensive because otherwise the government wouldn't be doing it. 174 00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:22,093 Speaker 2: So they're their argument as it's fairer, but save for example, Yeah, 175 00:08:22,133 --> 00:08:26,533 Speaker 2: I mean, just trying to get my head around this situation. 176 00:08:27,973 --> 00:08:30,853 Speaker 2: Cars are getting way more efficient is basically what's happening here. 177 00:08:30,893 --> 00:08:34,492 Speaker 2: And you've also got hybrids, and you driver hybrid, don't you? 178 00:08:34,573 --> 00:08:34,773 Speaker 5: I do. 179 00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:39,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, So because cars are getting more efficient, they're getting 180 00:08:39,213 --> 00:08:41,773 Speaker 2: less tax per laquers. Because people have. 181 00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:43,132 Speaker 3: Spent they're not using as much. 182 00:08:43,533 --> 00:08:46,853 Speaker 2: Feel so it's going to be better for the coffers 183 00:08:46,973 --> 00:08:48,852 Speaker 2: and better for what they can the money they've got 184 00:08:48,892 --> 00:08:51,573 Speaker 2: to spend on the infrastructure. But surely it would be 185 00:08:51,573 --> 00:08:56,492 Speaker 2: more expensive overall, not necessarily for individuals, but overall it 186 00:08:56,492 --> 00:08:57,413 Speaker 2: would be more expensive. 187 00:08:57,892 --> 00:09:00,093 Speaker 3: Yes, it would be. Yeah, the government may get a 188 00:09:00,132 --> 00:09:01,933 Speaker 3: little bit more on their coffers, which might not be 189 00:09:01,973 --> 00:09:04,733 Speaker 3: a bad thing considering the infrastructure issues we've got. But 190 00:09:04,813 --> 00:09:07,013 Speaker 3: I like it because one thing that they missed out 191 00:09:07,053 --> 00:09:09,613 Speaker 3: when they made the transition for evs and hybrids to 192 00:09:09,612 --> 00:09:13,333 Speaker 3: the ruck system is that let's call them just general hybrids. 193 00:09:13,372 --> 00:09:14,892 Speaker 3: So these are ones that you don't need to plug 194 00:09:14,933 --> 00:09:17,293 Speaker 3: in scot free. I don't have to pay anything, so 195 00:09:17,333 --> 00:09:19,093 Speaker 3: they get they don't have to pay as much fuel. 196 00:09:19,372 --> 00:09:23,173 Speaker 2: Bloody great for classic car drivers, Yeah, brilliant, says this 197 00:09:23,252 --> 00:09:26,013 Speaker 2: Textra on nine two, niney two. My seventies V eight 198 00:09:26,892 --> 00:09:29,293 Speaker 2: uses seventy leaders per three hundred and fifty kilometers. That's 199 00:09:29,293 --> 00:09:31,053 Speaker 2: from Alistairs, so that's going to be great for him. 200 00:09:31,612 --> 00:09:32,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, no more Sunday drive. 201 00:09:33,093 --> 00:09:34,373 Speaker 2: You can get out there if you're running a v 202 00:09:34,413 --> 00:09:37,333 Speaker 2: O the way year if you're running a V eight absolutely. 203 00:09:36,813 --> 00:09:39,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll wait one hundred eighty ten eighty. So there's 204 00:09:39,533 --> 00:09:41,493 Speaker 3: no guarantees, but they put it out to the market 205 00:09:41,492 --> 00:09:44,213 Speaker 3: at the moment to get people's thoughts on a ruck 206 00:09:44,333 --> 00:09:46,412 Speaker 3: system for all. How would you feel about what do 207 00:09:46,453 --> 00:09:46,892 Speaker 3: I reckon? 208 00:09:47,132 --> 00:09:47,292 Speaker 6: Nine? 209 00:09:47,372 --> 00:09:49,013 Speaker 3: Two ninety two is the text number? 210 00:09:49,093 --> 00:09:51,213 Speaker 2: And when are they going to come? After my e by? 211 00:09:52,813 --> 00:09:56,013 Speaker 3: They coming next? It is a fourteen past one beckon 212 00:09:56,053 --> 00:09:56,292 Speaker 3: the bow. 213 00:09:57,732 --> 00:10:01,252 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 214 00:10:01,453 --> 00:10:05,413 Speaker 1: everything in between. That Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons you for 215 00:10:05,533 --> 00:10:07,293 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four used talk they'd be. 216 00:10:08,492 --> 00:10:11,093 Speaker 3: Good afternoon at seventeen past one. We're talking about road 217 00:10:11,213 --> 00:10:14,573 Speaker 3: user charges for all drivers. The government is looking into 218 00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:18,932 Speaker 3: that and they've asked for feedback from businesses offering ruck services. 219 00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:24,253 Speaker 3: They potentially may even start deeper discussions by March's next year. 220 00:10:24,293 --> 00:10:27,252 Speaker 3: How would you feel about rucks for everybody? A quick 221 00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:30,132 Speaker 3: couple of texts here, guys, rucks are ridiculous, so many 222 00:10:30,132 --> 00:10:33,653 Speaker 3: cars without we're on a fitnesses and registrations already adding 223 00:10:33,773 --> 00:10:37,012 Speaker 3: rucks and those people will just ignore. Easier to pay 224 00:10:37,093 --> 00:10:40,132 Speaker 3: a little offen ie fuel tax rather than a lot 225 00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:41,773 Speaker 3: occasionally just all freeloaders. 226 00:10:41,813 --> 00:10:44,612 Speaker 2: There might be something in that because I went to 227 00:10:44,612 --> 00:10:47,132 Speaker 2: at a radio station that had a station vehicle when 228 00:10:47,132 --> 00:10:51,733 Speaker 2: people just failed to pay the diesel their road user 229 00:10:51,813 --> 00:10:54,893 Speaker 2: charges and that wasn't found out for five years. So 230 00:10:54,933 --> 00:10:57,573 Speaker 2: you can I mean the nest, they're pulling over more 231 00:10:57,573 --> 00:11:00,973 Speaker 2: people and look, I don't know, I've been pulled over 232 00:11:01,012 --> 00:11:03,773 Speaker 2: three times in the last two weeks for breath testing. 233 00:11:04,093 --> 00:11:07,333 Speaker 2: I mean at that point they're also checking your rosies 234 00:11:07,453 --> 00:11:09,252 Speaker 2: charge in the white ping people. Yeah, but you're going 235 00:11:09,293 --> 00:11:11,492 Speaker 2: to have to put pull people over more and run 236 00:11:11,533 --> 00:11:13,173 Speaker 2: people through checkpoints more if you're going to find that 237 00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:13,893 Speaker 2: out right. 238 00:11:13,732 --> 00:11:15,933 Speaker 3: And I think they're pretty brutal that if you if 239 00:11:15,973 --> 00:11:18,493 Speaker 3: you're not up to date with your rucks, the fines 240 00:11:18,533 --> 00:11:21,213 Speaker 3: can be pretty significant. If you know, and you've been 241 00:11:21,252 --> 00:11:23,453 Speaker 3: stung for not having your rucks up to date, give 242 00:11:23,492 --> 00:11:25,973 Speaker 3: us about eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. But let's 243 00:11:25,973 --> 00:11:28,652 Speaker 3: go to the phones. John, You like the idea. 244 00:11:29,892 --> 00:11:35,173 Speaker 7: Yes, So I think that for user pay system. So 245 00:11:35,933 --> 00:11:39,453 Speaker 7: if you don't do very many miles and you can, 246 00:11:42,173 --> 00:11:45,973 Speaker 7: you don't pay fuel texts or you're or you're not 247 00:11:46,012 --> 00:11:49,693 Speaker 7: paying road use charges. Whereas if you're if you're doing 248 00:11:49,693 --> 00:11:54,172 Speaker 7: a high mileage, then you pay for it for using 249 00:11:54,173 --> 00:11:57,693 Speaker 7: the road. And the other thing, of course, is well 250 00:11:57,732 --> 00:11:59,173 Speaker 7: you're not paying pictual text. 251 00:11:58,933 --> 00:11:59,813 Speaker 8: On your lawmark. 252 00:12:00,413 --> 00:12:04,733 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and you're going So there's there's two benefits there. 253 00:12:04,973 --> 00:12:05,173 Speaker 8: Yeah. 254 00:12:05,213 --> 00:12:07,013 Speaker 2: I mean that that that does seem crazy that you 255 00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:10,693 Speaker 2: pay you know, it's seventy cents and the leader to 256 00:12:10,773 --> 00:12:13,453 Speaker 2: run your lawnmow and you're running it over your grass 257 00:12:13,453 --> 00:12:14,373 Speaker 2: and not over the roads. 258 00:12:14,492 --> 00:12:14,732 Speaker 9: Yeah. 259 00:12:15,213 --> 00:12:19,492 Speaker 3: Same with the boats, you know or the boat Yeah, yeah, exactly. 260 00:12:19,653 --> 00:12:21,412 Speaker 3: So do you drive a diesel at the moment? 261 00:12:21,492 --> 00:12:21,693 Speaker 10: John? 262 00:12:21,732 --> 00:12:22,852 Speaker 3: Are you you full petrol? 263 00:12:23,293 --> 00:12:23,493 Speaker 8: No? 264 00:12:24,852 --> 00:12:27,573 Speaker 7: I've got an EV and I've also got a petrol 265 00:12:27,612 --> 00:12:30,492 Speaker 7: engine car. So I think it's a Mar's idea. 266 00:12:30,533 --> 00:12:33,852 Speaker 3: And you are okay when the rucks came in for evs. 267 00:12:33,852 --> 00:12:36,973 Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, Look, it doesn't add to the. 268 00:12:36,933 --> 00:12:39,093 Speaker 7: Expense of running an EV. I don't know why more 269 00:12:39,132 --> 00:12:41,532 Speaker 7: people don't go out and buy EV's. It's far far 270 00:12:41,693 --> 00:12:46,093 Speaker 7: cheaper than buying petrol. 271 00:12:46,892 --> 00:12:47,292 Speaker 8: Yeah. 272 00:12:47,372 --> 00:12:49,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been a hundred, one hundred. 273 00:12:49,093 --> 00:12:50,653 Speaker 7: And fifty dollars on petrol a week. 274 00:12:50,892 --> 00:12:51,132 Speaker 2: Yeah. 275 00:12:51,573 --> 00:12:53,853 Speaker 3: Part of me, part of me, John, And look, I 276 00:12:54,012 --> 00:12:55,653 Speaker 3: there'll be a lot of people that disagree with us. 277 00:12:55,732 --> 00:12:59,133 Speaker 3: But the general hybrids, the Prius and whatnot that don't 278 00:12:59,132 --> 00:13:01,173 Speaker 3: need to be charged up. I was annoyed when they 279 00:13:01,173 --> 00:13:04,533 Speaker 3: were brought brought into the ruck system because that's almost 280 00:13:04,773 --> 00:13:06,373 Speaker 3: a bit of a free pass for them. In my 281 00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:09,693 Speaker 3: opinion is that. Yes, I know that they are not 282 00:13:09,892 --> 00:13:13,252 Speaker 3: using solely electric for any period of time. It's battery 283 00:13:13,333 --> 00:13:15,813 Speaker 3: and fuel, but I just thought that's a bit measily 284 00:13:15,852 --> 00:13:18,333 Speaker 3: that you bring everything else. And but those guys, don't 285 00:13:18,813 --> 00:13:20,053 Speaker 3: they get a bit of a free pass. 286 00:13:21,732 --> 00:13:29,093 Speaker 7: Yeah, they'll be true. Yeah, probably technology that they haven't 287 00:13:29,093 --> 00:13:31,333 Speaker 7: got it worked out yet. Maybe that that's what the 288 00:13:32,333 --> 00:13:34,813 Speaker 7: government's at at the point now where they can do 289 00:13:34,973 --> 00:13:38,492 Speaker 7: that and you need to do it across the board 290 00:13:38,533 --> 00:13:42,693 Speaker 7: for everybody, so everybody pays as on one system instead 291 00:13:42,693 --> 00:13:46,333 Speaker 7: of having a hybridsystem where half your legal fleets running, 292 00:13:46,973 --> 00:13:50,173 Speaker 7: is it paying petrol tax and half the fleets paying 293 00:13:50,533 --> 00:13:52,973 Speaker 7: RUT charges. Everybody pays one of the other. 294 00:13:53,252 --> 00:13:55,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, John, thank you very much. 295 00:13:56,973 --> 00:13:57,173 Speaker 4: Yeah. 296 00:13:57,213 --> 00:14:00,693 Speaker 2: I mean someone here says that pay. Someone says that 297 00:14:01,213 --> 00:14:03,293 Speaker 2: if your your RUT gets picked up when you do 298 00:14:03,333 --> 00:14:05,933 Speaker 2: your warrant, so if you haven't paid, then they'll pin 299 00:14:06,053 --> 00:14:08,333 Speaker 2: you then. But I mean as that person said before. 300 00:14:08,773 --> 00:14:10,533 Speaker 2: For that you read out that text, people are saying 301 00:14:10,573 --> 00:14:12,573 Speaker 2: that those a lot of people are running without a 302 00:14:12,612 --> 00:14:15,172 Speaker 2: warrant in a redto Yeah right, well yeah, and just 303 00:14:15,293 --> 00:14:17,012 Speaker 2: on there, now there that many people or anything like that. 304 00:14:17,053 --> 00:14:18,813 Speaker 2: I mean, I remember when I was a student. I was, 305 00:14:19,373 --> 00:14:21,813 Speaker 2: I was, you know those periods when you're running without 306 00:14:21,813 --> 00:14:23,893 Speaker 2: a warrant and red ja. Boy, there there were some 307 00:14:23,933 --> 00:14:24,773 Speaker 2: good tickets those ones. 308 00:14:24,853 --> 00:14:26,893 Speaker 3: Now I racked up some fines here in those days. 309 00:14:26,933 --> 00:14:29,172 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 310 00:14:29,173 --> 00:14:32,253 Speaker 3: to call. It is twenty one past one. 311 00:14:33,893 --> 00:14:38,333 Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mike asking breakfast. 312 00:14:37,853 --> 00:14:39,933 Speaker 11: We have the first bit of the COVID inquiry done. 313 00:14:39,933 --> 00:14:42,613 Speaker 11: Out going COVID inquiry to here. Tony Blakeley is backwards 314 00:14:42,653 --> 00:14:45,253 Speaker 11: the mandates and the comments you've made about the mandates. 315 00:14:45,333 --> 00:14:47,253 Speaker 2: Is that a change of mind on your part or not? 316 00:14:47,573 --> 00:14:50,773 Speaker 12: Ah, it's an evolution. I think we've all learned a lot. 317 00:14:51,013 --> 00:14:53,653 Speaker 12: What I will say at this point is that mandates 318 00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:55,653 Speaker 12: are sort of a top shelf thing.

It's a 324 00:15:06,493 --> 00:15:08,813 Speaker 12: very delicate tal It's a future pandem, which is what 325 00:15:08,853 --> 00:15:09,773 Speaker 12: we're really focused on. 326 00:15:09,893 --> 00:15:10,133 Speaker 4: Now. 327 00:15:10,293 --> 00:15:13,333 Speaker 12: You can't roll out the need for doing mandatory measures again. 328 00:15:13,773 --> 00:15:16,573 Speaker 11: Back tomorrow at six am the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 329 00:15:16,613 --> 00:15:19,293 Speaker 11: Bailey's Real Estate News Talk ZB. 330 00:15:19,133 --> 00:15:20,213 Speaker 3: Twenty four past one. 331 00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:23,053 Speaker 2: Got a text here from Tony in the sunny Wire wrapper. 332 00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:26,773 Speaker 2: Hey guys, all good if you hire an analog speedo 333 00:15:26,973 --> 00:15:29,053 Speaker 2: rather than a If you if you have an analog 334 00:15:29,093 --> 00:15:31,133 Speaker 2: speedo rather than a digital one, you can wind it 335 00:15:31,213 --> 00:15:32,933 Speaker 2: back no problems at all.

But the desine was like 344 00:16:02,973 --> 00:16:10,173 Speaker 5: what whatever it would cost times three. So when when 345 00:16:10,213 --> 00:16:14,172 Speaker 5: the year, when the officer was sort of like doing 346 00:16:14,213 --> 00:16:16,693 Speaker 5: the paperwork, he goes, oh, look, I'm going to actually 347 00:16:16,733 --> 00:16:19,213 Speaker 5: send this out to you in the mail, and I 348 00:16:19,373 --> 00:16:23,053 Speaker 5: think because we couldn't add it up properly. So when 349 00:16:23,093 --> 00:16:25,133 Speaker 5: I got it in the mail, it was like five. 350 00:16:25,013 --> 00:16:28,013 Speaker 8: Thousand dollars and the. 351 00:16:29,933 --> 00:16:31,773 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a hell of shock, man, it was 352 00:16:31,813 --> 00:16:32,453 Speaker 5: hell was shocked. 353 00:16:32,893 --> 00:16:33,253 Speaker 2: Yeah. 354 00:16:34,413 --> 00:16:37,293 Speaker 5: So that's so like I just sort of like said, like, 355 00:16:37,493 --> 00:16:41,493 Speaker 5: that's ridiculous, you know, blah blah blah. I read into 356 00:16:41,533 --> 00:16:46,293 Speaker 5: them and I got like just a blatant sort of 357 00:16:46,373 --> 00:16:52,133 Speaker 5: like you know, no type of thing. And so I 358 00:16:52,173 --> 00:16:56,533 Speaker 5: just thought, like I continue to like writeing and I 359 00:16:56,573 --> 00:17:02,413 Speaker 5: think about the third letter, I said, like, I'll happily 360 00:17:02,453 --> 00:17:04,812 Speaker 5: take it to court and let let the judge decide, 361 00:17:05,653 --> 00:17:08,453 Speaker 5: just just with my circumstances and everything like like was 362 00:17:08,493 --> 00:17:12,253 Speaker 5: sort of just just started.

And yeah, and it was sort of, 377 00:17:55,013 --> 00:17:57,613 Speaker 5: you know, just just one of those things that were 378 00:17:58,253 --> 00:18:02,613 Speaker 5: you know, you just sort of like, you know, if 379 00:18:02,653 --> 00:18:04,613 Speaker 5: you don't do it, you know, it's sort of snowballs, 380 00:18:04,693 --> 00:18:07,653 Speaker 5: and and you sort of like, you know, you wonder 381 00:18:08,373 --> 00:18:11,613 Speaker 5: that like, you know, five thousand dollars, like, yeah, you 382 00:18:11,733 --> 00:18:12,613 Speaker 5: can afford that. 383 00:18:12,653 --> 00:18:15,293 Speaker 2: In the Yeah, yeah, I will thank you. Call Wade. 384 00:18:15,573 --> 00:18:21,293 Speaker 2: Some interesting texts coming through here. Lost revenue collection. Tractors, boats, generators, forklifts, diggers, 385 00:18:21,293 --> 00:18:24,653 Speaker 2: et cetera. Will not be paying it. If you've got 386 00:18:24,653 --> 00:18:26,253 Speaker 2: a tractor and it's not on the road, of course 387 00:18:26,293 --> 00:18:27,773 Speaker 2: you're not going to play it. Boats should not be 388 00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:31,493 Speaker 2: playing rodeos charges. So that's a lost revenue for the government. 389 00:18:31,533 --> 00:18:33,773 Speaker 2: But that seems fair to me. If you're driving a 390 00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:35,533 Speaker 2: tractor up and down your farm, why are you paying 391 00:18:35,613 --> 00:18:39,093 Speaker 2: road exactly? You're not using the roads. Forkclifts are the same. 392 00:18:39,093 --> 00:18:42,533 Speaker 2: If you're driving around your warehouse. Yeah, then why are 393 00:18:42,573 --> 00:18:45,733 Speaker 2: you paying road user user charges on that gas? But 394 00:18:46,093 --> 00:18:48,253 Speaker 2: it will I mean that revenue will be lost to 395 00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:49,293 Speaker 2: the government, won't it. 396 00:18:49,613 --> 00:18:52,453 Speaker 3: Well, this is from the flip side, guys. I can't 397 00:18:52,533 --> 00:18:56,613 Speaker 3: understand the logic of universal rucks. Why apply are far 398 00:18:56,653 --> 00:19:00,133 Speaker 3: more complex and expensive to acquire tax to everyone. The 399 00:19:00,213 --> 00:19:05,133 Speaker 3: level of ruck taxation will therefore be correspondingly greater to compensate, 400 00:19:05,333 --> 00:19:08,413 Speaker 3: far simpler and therefore cheaper to increase the fuel search, 401 00:19:08,773 --> 00:19:11,173 Speaker 3: which is also far more difficult to evade. 402 00:19:11,373 --> 00:19:13,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something I don't really like about it, because 403 00:19:13,573 --> 00:19:17,053 Speaker 2: those have a diesel ut and just the admin, just 404 00:19:17,053 --> 00:19:18,813 Speaker 2: a little bit of admin. My life is, there's so 405 00:19:18,933 --> 00:19:21,333 Speaker 2: much admin in the modern world. There's so much admind 406 00:19:21,813 --> 00:19:24,773 Speaker 2: And so you know, you're paying this tax where the 407 00:19:24,813 --> 00:19:28,813 Speaker 2: fuel when you're when you're refueling, there's no ADMIN. You 408 00:19:28,853 --> 00:19:31,773 Speaker 2: don't think about it. But if you're going to have 409 00:19:31,813 --> 00:19:33,893 Speaker 2: to constantly thinking in advance to get that done, that's 410 00:19:33,933 --> 00:19:35,973 Speaker 2: just another thing that we freaking have to do in 411 00:19:36,013 --> 00:19:36,532 Speaker 2: our lives. 412 00:19:36,613 --> 00:19:38,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, well, are we going to clog up 413 00:19:38,333 --> 00:19:40,453 Speaker 3: the court system because You're quite right. The amount of 414 00:19:40,493 --> 00:19:42,733 Speaker 3: people out there that don't really worry about a WAFF 415 00:19:42,893 --> 00:19:45,812 Speaker 3: or a red joe, but they still drive. If they 416 00:19:45,853 --> 00:19:47,813 Speaker 3: can't fill up and they can't pay for fuel, they're 417 00:19:47,813 --> 00:19:50,573 Speaker 3: not going anywhere. But if there's a ruck system, well 418 00:19:50,733 --> 00:19:51,893 Speaker 3: it changes things, doesn't it. 419 00:19:52,013 --> 00:19:53,933 Speaker 2: Hey guys, I'm a mechanic and you'll be surprised how 420 00:19:53,933 --> 00:19:57,693 Speaker 2: many people have a toggle switch hidden underneath their dashboard 421 00:19:57,733 --> 00:20:01,053 Speaker 2: to toggle the dominantor on and off. 422 00:20:02,453 --> 00:20:04,813 Speaker 3: Yeah, the underworld of New Zealand drivers. Oh eight, one 423 00:20:04,853 --> 00:20:07,893 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. It 424 00:20:08,053 --> 00:20:09,413 Speaker 3: is twenty nine past one. 425 00:20:12,533 --> 00:20:16,093 Speaker 13: News Talk said the headlines with blue bubble taxis it's 426 00:20:16,133 --> 00:20:19,573 Speaker 13: no trouble with a blue bubble. Labour's Ginny Anderson says 427 00:20:19,613 --> 00:20:22,853 Speaker 13: she's proud of the lives her government saved during COVID, 428 00:20:23,173 --> 00:20:26,013 Speaker 13: but it was on the fly and hindsight will suggest 429 00:20:26,013 --> 00:20:29,293 Speaker 13: improvements to the response the government's being handed. The first 430 00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:34,453 Speaker 13: report from the COVID inquiry today complaints of dysfunction in 431 00:20:34,613 --> 00:20:38,413 Speaker 13: government moves on the Dunedin Hospital project, with a letter 432 00:20:38,453 --> 00:20:42,413 Speaker 13: of intent signed with Crown Infrastructure Delivery to assist with 433 00:20:42,493 --> 00:20:47,773 Speaker 13: the build. Project Leader Tony Lloyd has reportedly lost his job. 434 00:20:48,853 --> 00:20:51,773 Speaker 13: The Reserve Bank chief economist says it's impossible to know 435 00:20:51,933 --> 00:20:55,173 Speaker 13: yet what way the US will jump on trade tariffs 436 00:20:55,373 --> 00:21:00,013 Speaker 13: under Donald Trump's new administration. Foreign Minister Winston Peters says 437 00:21:00,053 --> 00:21:02,693 Speaker 13: New Zealand and France have renewed efforts to work more 438 00:21:02,733 --> 00:21:06,053 Speaker 13: closely together in the Indo Pacific.

It is twenty eight to two, 444 00:21:24,053 --> 00:21:26,493 Speaker 3: So we're talking about the ruck system. Should it be 445 00:21:26,573 --> 00:21:29,373 Speaker 3: rolled out to all vehicles? The government is looking deeply 446 00:21:29,533 --> 00:21:33,453 Speaker 3: at this. They are asking for feedback from businesses offering 447 00:21:33,573 --> 00:21:38,292 Speaker 3: services that support purchase measuremental management of road user charges. 448 00:21:38,413 --> 00:21:40,613 Speaker 3: To chat about this, we're joined by Martin Glenn. He's 449 00:21:40,613 --> 00:21:42,973 Speaker 3: the policy director at AA. Get A. 450 00:21:43,053 --> 00:21:47,933 Speaker 2: Martin, what's the AA's view on road user charter charges 451 00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:50,613 Speaker 2: on the light vehicle fleet? You think it's a good 452 00:21:50,653 --> 00:21:51,173 Speaker 2: or a bad thing? 453 00:21:52,573 --> 00:21:55,053 Speaker 14: Always think it's going to happen. It's just a question 454 00:21:55,093 --> 00:22:00,333 Speaker 14: of power level, mainly because when petro tests came in, 455 00:22:00,413 --> 00:22:02,933 Speaker 14: generally the average car used similar amount of petrol. And 456 00:22:02,933 --> 00:22:06,333 Speaker 14: now we've got bag variation, so it's become increasingly unfair 457 00:22:06,933 --> 00:22:10,253 Speaker 14: owners of older and less fuel. Sorry, lest Field Social 458 00:22:10,293 --> 00:22:13,053 Speaker 14: vehicles are paying much more for the same bileage. So 459 00:22:13,853 --> 00:22:14,613 Speaker 14: does it change? 460 00:22:14,893 --> 00:22:17,693 Speaker 2: Sorry? So so Martin, for the average driver, will it 461 00:22:17,773 --> 00:22:20,773 Speaker 2: be more than they're paying now? 462 00:22:21,893 --> 00:22:22,013 Speaker 12: Uh? 463 00:22:23,533 --> 00:22:26,933 Speaker 14: Depen, So there'll be worse and leaders more Field Off 464 00:22:27,333 --> 00:22:30,773 Speaker 14: new vehicles. The example that if you look us something 465 00:22:30,853 --> 00:22:34,173 Speaker 14: that the brand news, so I can probably expect to 466 00:22:34,293 --> 00:22:39,453 Speaker 14: pay more for older vehicles and and maybe your average 467 00:22:39,453 --> 00:22:40,813 Speaker 14: everygehicles will be about the same. 468 00:22:41,013 --> 00:22:42,733 Speaker 8: So yeah, you really. 469 00:22:43,573 --> 00:22:46,253 Speaker 14: Field Assion vehicles will probably pay lest that they're paying 470 00:22:46,293 --> 00:22:48,533 Speaker 14: a lot more now, So you wish there's pretty. 471 00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:51,613 Speaker 3: There in terms of an argument argument against it, Martin, 472 00:22:51,733 --> 00:22:54,493 Speaker 3: is it fair to say that adding an extra ADMIN 473 00:22:54,813 --> 00:22:57,053 Speaker 3: could be a challenge for some road users? You know, 474 00:22:57,173 --> 00:23:00,013 Speaker 3: these are people that might be forgetful or indeed don't 475 00:23:00,093 --> 00:23:02,133 Speaker 3: don't get war on a fitness and regail anyway, So 476 00:23:02,173 --> 00:23:04,133 Speaker 3: you're just clogging up that system more potentially. 477 00:23:04,933 --> 00:23:09,292 Speaker 14: Oh absolutely, yeah, I mean how kes and iron, their 478 00:23:09,333 --> 00:23:13,573 Speaker 14: old right gets checked and that's that's boarding the shop 479 00:23:13,613 --> 00:23:15,653 Speaker 14: for people. Think I'll pay their rup when you when 480 00:23:15,693 --> 00:23:18,053 Speaker 14: you when you get your water fus cheap. But it's 481 00:23:18,093 --> 00:23:19,653 Speaker 14: an extra thing people have to do. And you know, 482 00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:22,333 Speaker 14: petrol tax now is really easy. Most people don't know 483 00:23:22,413 --> 00:23:24,773 Speaker 14: they pay it at the pump, so it's just it's 484 00:23:24,853 --> 00:23:27,253 Speaker 14: just done. So yes, it's an extra task for people 485 00:23:28,213 --> 00:23:31,253 Speaker 14: and at the moment their administration costs and purchasing luck 486 00:23:31,293 --> 00:23:33,573 Speaker 14: as well, which we'd like to see go or if 487 00:23:33,613 --> 00:23:35,573 Speaker 14: that's not possible, if very much come down. 488 00:23:36,493 --> 00:23:40,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems harsh on the admin useless like me, Hey, 489 00:23:40,293 --> 00:23:43,933 Speaker 2: it seems fair because it doesn't hit tractors and boats 490 00:23:44,013 --> 00:23:45,893 Speaker 2: and forklifts and such that don't go on the road. 491 00:23:45,933 --> 00:23:48,533 Speaker 2: But surely that will end generators. But surely that will 492 00:23:48,813 --> 00:23:53,173 Speaker 2: lower tax take for the government to see a question, 493 00:23:53,693 --> 00:23:56,573 Speaker 2: So it's so it's not going to hurt tractors or boats, 494 00:23:56,933 --> 00:24:01,453 Speaker 2: or forklifts or or lawn mowers, which are probably a small, 495 00:24:01,693 --> 00:24:04,693 Speaker 2: small end of the scale generators. Generators, Yeah, I. 496 00:24:04,693 --> 00:24:10,493 Speaker 14: Mean the generally they generally exempt anyway, See anything with 497 00:24:11,213 --> 00:24:16,453 Speaker 14: the government's probably likely to click slightly more iciency but 498 00:24:17,133 --> 00:24:19,173 Speaker 14: it's there to say, you know, one of the things 499 00:24:19,213 --> 00:24:21,293 Speaker 14: we're going to have to facts ready to changes. Its 500 00:24:21,453 --> 00:24:24,893 Speaker 14: slightly easier to awards and people text people, dex is 501 00:24:25,053 --> 00:24:27,373 Speaker 14: possible to avoid. So yeah, that's going to have to 502 00:24:27,413 --> 00:24:27,893 Speaker 14: be fixed to. 503 00:24:28,253 --> 00:24:31,173 Speaker 2: So so how do how sorry part of my ignorance, 504 00:24:31,253 --> 00:24:35,893 Speaker 2: but how does how do you avoid paying the petrol 505 00:24:35,973 --> 00:24:38,773 Speaker 2: tax on a on a tractor for example, or a 506 00:24:38,853 --> 00:24:39,333 Speaker 2: fort left? 507 00:24:40,573 --> 00:24:42,493 Speaker 9: Well, the charges. 508 00:24:43,693 --> 00:24:50,013 Speaker 14: If it's petri generally diesel and there exists changes. 509 00:24:50,093 --> 00:24:52,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, OK, are we going to get into trouble Martin? 510 00:24:52,893 --> 00:24:54,973 Speaker 3: Do you think because already with e vs and there's 511 00:24:54,973 --> 00:24:57,893 Speaker 3: different types of evs, whether that's plug in, whether that's 512 00:24:58,133 --> 00:25:00,173 Speaker 3: h e V, whether that's full e V, that they 513 00:25:00,293 --> 00:25:02,173 Speaker 3: pay different rucks. Are we're going to get into that 514 00:25:02,333 --> 00:25:05,333 Speaker 3: situation where people pay different rucks than others. 515 00:25:06,253 --> 00:25:08,893 Speaker 14: What what we'd hope as it may qual the system. 516 00:25:09,613 --> 00:25:11,813 Speaker 14: So at the moment for roses to charges, if you're 517 00:25:11,973 --> 00:25:15,572 Speaker 14: like vehicle that's required to pay it. So that's as 518 00:25:15,613 --> 00:25:18,813 Speaker 14: you say, diesel vehicles and evs, and then there's a 519 00:25:19,053 --> 00:25:22,133 Speaker 14: there's a single rate for that for petrol hyper electric 520 00:25:22,253 --> 00:25:26,533 Speaker 14: vehicles it's about half because the govern's recognizing that those 521 00:25:26,613 --> 00:25:30,973 Speaker 14: the equirers obviously purchasing petrol. We're the really team to 522 00:25:31,013 --> 00:25:33,573 Speaker 14: see that the equalis because just about every currently yander 523 00:25:34,013 --> 00:25:36,533 Speaker 14: is a net bracket of being under three point five tons, 524 00:25:36,573 --> 00:25:38,213 Speaker 14: so that they should all be paying the same kind 525 00:25:38,213 --> 00:25:39,253 Speaker 14: of per chorometer rate. 526 00:25:39,853 --> 00:25:42,093 Speaker 2: We're talking to Martin Glenn, Policy director at a A. 527 00:25:42,373 --> 00:25:45,052 Speaker 2: How easy is it to get around these things? Are 528 00:25:45,093 --> 00:25:46,373 Speaker 2: domitan rollbacks and such? 529 00:25:48,613 --> 00:25:49,493 Speaker 14: How much we sh're talking. 530 00:25:49,333 --> 00:25:49,693 Speaker 5: About on. 531 00:25:51,173 --> 00:25:55,573 Speaker 14: Particularly with the older vehicles, mechanics or somebody who you know, 532 00:25:56,573 --> 00:26:02,013 Speaker 14: pretty handy. It's it's really been about fiddling with cells. 533 00:26:02,053 --> 00:26:04,413 Speaker 14: It's much harder to do that with a new vehicles. 534 00:26:04,453 --> 00:26:08,853 Speaker 3: So pretty yeah, probably good news, yea, and thank you 535 00:26:09,053 --> 00:26:12,413 Speaker 3: very much for the expertise. Really good. No way, that 536 00:26:12,613 --> 00:26:16,173 Speaker 3: is Martin Glenn, Policy Director at A taking your calls 537 00:26:16,173 --> 00:26:18,173 Speaker 3: on this one oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Is 538 00:26:18,213 --> 00:26:21,853 Speaker 3: it a good idea to transition all vehicles to rucks? 539 00:26:22,093 --> 00:26:23,813 Speaker 3: It is twenty three to two. 540 00:26:26,093 --> 00:26:28,453 Speaker 1: Have a chat with the boys on eight hundred eighty 541 00:26:28,533 --> 00:26:32,493 Speaker 1: ten eighty and Taylor Adams afternoons you for twenty twenty 542 00:26:32,533 --> 00:26:35,413 Speaker 1: four youth talk said, be it's twenty two. 543 00:26:35,893 --> 00:26:39,573 Speaker 2: We're talking about rucks. What's the situation there, Tyler, what's 544 00:26:39,653 --> 00:26:39,893 Speaker 2: going on? 545 00:26:40,133 --> 00:26:43,733 Speaker 3: Well, the government are very keen to introduce a ruck 546 00:26:43,853 --> 00:26:47,173 Speaker 3: system for most of us as drivers. At the moment, 547 00:26:47,253 --> 00:26:51,533 Speaker 3: it only targets diesel EV's and plug in evs, so 548 00:26:51,613 --> 00:26:53,773 Speaker 3: it doesn't need to be rolled out for everybody. Oh 549 00:26:53,813 --> 00:26:56,052 Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call, George, 550 00:26:56,133 --> 00:26:56,733 Speaker 3: What do you reckon? 551 00:26:57,653 --> 00:27:00,173 Speaker 15: Well, I reckon. It's quite interesting because you say, this government, 552 00:27:00,213 --> 00:27:03,653 Speaker 15: the previous government before the last election in January, had 553 00:27:03,693 --> 00:27:06,293 Speaker 15: announced that they were doing the same thing. So this 554 00:27:06,493 --> 00:27:08,293 Speaker 15: is cross. You're not going to be in the opposition 555 00:27:08,453 --> 00:27:09,493 Speaker 15: to other government. 556 00:27:09,733 --> 00:27:12,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you say, no matter what we do, how 557 00:27:12,733 --> 00:27:14,213 Speaker 2: much we talk about it, it's going to happen. 558 00:27:15,293 --> 00:27:15,573 Speaker 15: Happened. 559 00:27:15,693 --> 00:27:16,133 Speaker 6: What was that? 560 00:27:16,253 --> 00:27:18,173 Speaker 3: The case, George is are you are you one hundred 561 00:27:18,173 --> 00:27:20,253 Speaker 3: percent sure on that? Because I know, I know Label, 562 00:27:20,293 --> 00:27:22,893 Speaker 3: we're keen. I know Label, we're keen on introducing rucks 563 00:27:22,893 --> 00:27:25,893 Speaker 3: the evs and that's fair. That was that was controversial for. 564 00:27:25,893 --> 00:27:26,333 Speaker 2: A long time. 565 00:27:26,453 --> 00:27:29,013 Speaker 15: They were That was part one. Part two was a 566 00:27:29,093 --> 00:27:31,693 Speaker 15: totally separate system and that was in the unst on 567 00:27:31,773 --> 00:27:34,693 Speaker 15: your radio station in January by the Minister of Transport. 568 00:27:35,173 --> 00:27:37,733 Speaker 3: Okay, so it gets cross party support. So that's all good, 569 00:27:37,773 --> 00:27:39,933 Speaker 3: but you reckon it might it might make getting a 570 00:27:40,093 --> 00:27:41,373 Speaker 3: warrant a fitness more expensive. 571 00:27:42,053 --> 00:27:44,733 Speaker 15: Well, my view is that from what I understand, that 572 00:27:44,773 --> 00:27:46,292 Speaker 15: when you go to get your warr and of fitness, 573 00:27:47,453 --> 00:27:49,292 Speaker 15: they will look at your ruck charges to make sure 574 00:27:49,333 --> 00:27:50,933 Speaker 15: you're up to date. If they're not up to date, 575 00:27:51,093 --> 00:27:54,413 Speaker 15: you won't get your warrant until they are. Yeah, So 576 00:27:54,613 --> 00:27:57,773 Speaker 15: whatever system is introduced, if you have to go online 577 00:27:57,773 --> 00:28:00,293 Speaker 15: and then buy your ruck up to date, then you'll 578 00:28:00,333 --> 00:28:04,333 Speaker 15: go back to the workshop and get your warrant. So 579 00:28:04,373 --> 00:28:06,093 Speaker 15: there's no point in going to get a warrant if 580 00:28:06,093 --> 00:28:07,373 Speaker 15: you haven't got your ruck up to date. 581 00:28:07,973 --> 00:28:08,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fair point. 582 00:28:08,933 --> 00:28:11,133 Speaker 15: That's the other thing. The third thing is the guy 583 00:28:11,253 --> 00:28:14,813 Speaker 15: complaining about his five thousand dollars fine. He knew that 584 00:28:15,053 --> 00:28:18,013 Speaker 15: his ruck was out of date and was you know needed. 585 00:28:18,453 --> 00:28:20,293 Speaker 15: Not only did he get the fine, but you'd also 586 00:28:20,373 --> 00:28:21,653 Speaker 15: have to go and buy the rucks anyway. 587 00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:24,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean his thing was, his thing was 588 00:28:24,373 --> 00:28:27,493 Speaker 2: that he couldn't couldn't afford the five thousand dollars, way was, 589 00:28:27,613 --> 00:28:30,253 Speaker 2: and so he was more talking about not the point, no, no, no, 590 00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:32,173 Speaker 2: no no no, I'm saying that I'm saying, this is 591 00:28:32,213 --> 00:28:34,333 Speaker 2: what His point was, not that he shouldn't not that 592 00:28:34,333 --> 00:28:36,333 Speaker 2: he shouldn't have paid it, but that he was just 593 00:28:36,373 --> 00:28:38,813 Speaker 2: telling about his process of complaining and complaining and planning 594 00:28:38,893 --> 00:28:41,413 Speaker 2: until he got off pretty much. So it wasn't what 595 00:28:41,453 --> 00:28:41,853 Speaker 2: do you do this? 596 00:28:42,093 --> 00:28:44,333 Speaker 15: What do you do? The same with his vehicle was 597 00:28:44,373 --> 00:28:47,493 Speaker 15: slammed for not having registration or were in a fitness Yeah, well, 598 00:28:47,533 --> 00:28:52,733 Speaker 15: I mean that's yeah, that is the the the it's 599 00:28:52,773 --> 00:28:55,773 Speaker 15: a chance you take one of my rallies. Yeah, you know, 600 00:28:56,573 --> 00:28:58,533 Speaker 15: did that came out and find that the meta mate 601 00:28:58,893 --> 00:29:02,253 Speaker 15: had given the ticket? We're in a fitness and registration missing. 602 00:29:02,573 --> 00:29:04,693 Speaker 15: The other point I wanted to make was with Tyler 603 00:29:05,053 --> 00:29:08,693 Speaker 15: yep about the prius. Yeah, he's complaining, oh, not paid 604 00:29:08,813 --> 00:29:11,733 Speaker 15: enough for a judge that is paid in the petrol 605 00:29:12,013 --> 00:29:14,493 Speaker 15: that he buys to run his car that does not 606 00:29:14,693 --> 00:29:18,813 Speaker 15: plug into any other electricity source. The car electrical system 607 00:29:18,933 --> 00:29:21,973 Speaker 15: is running off that petrol. What is complaining about is 608 00:29:22,013 --> 00:29:23,533 Speaker 15: that car is more efficient than this one. 609 00:29:23,773 --> 00:29:26,613 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, but that's what the government's complaining about as well. George, 610 00:29:26,613 --> 00:29:28,613 Speaker 3: I'll just car. 611 00:29:28,733 --> 00:29:29,693 Speaker 15: There's no complaint here. 612 00:29:30,053 --> 00:29:32,693 Speaker 2: No, that's why they're bringing They're bringing in the rut tax. 613 00:29:32,733 --> 00:29:34,813 Speaker 2: Why they want to bring it in is because cars 614 00:29:34,853 --> 00:29:36,813 Speaker 2: are getting more efficient. That's one of the main reasons 615 00:29:37,093 --> 00:29:39,933 Speaker 2: in terms of you know, both presses and just general 616 00:29:40,173 --> 00:29:42,693 Speaker 2: generally cars. New cars are way more efficient. 617 00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:45,933 Speaker 15: Is that not a good thing? That we have less 618 00:29:46,013 --> 00:29:47,413 Speaker 15: carbon and crap going in the air? 619 00:29:47,893 --> 00:29:48,013 Speaker 13: Now? 620 00:29:48,053 --> 00:29:50,173 Speaker 15: We want to text you because you're not running a 621 00:29:50,813 --> 00:29:52,653 Speaker 15: Chevrolet V eight with a five D the motor. 622 00:29:53,653 --> 00:29:54,493 Speaker 2: I'd like a Chevrolet. 623 00:29:55,773 --> 00:29:55,933 Speaker 5: Yeah. 624 00:29:56,013 --> 00:29:57,053 Speaker 3: Have you got a Prius. 625 00:29:56,773 --> 00:30:00,053 Speaker 15: George, Yes, we have.

At 629 00:30:09,293 --> 00:30:12,893 Speaker 15: a vehicle it is efficient as you want to run it. 630 00:30:13,173 --> 00:30:15,733 Speaker 15: We don't forget that.

Okay, he was spot on the 683 00:32:29,853 --> 00:32:31,333 Speaker 16: old government's going to do what they're going. 684 00:32:31,253 --> 00:32:31,853 Speaker 5: To do anyway. 685 00:32:32,013 --> 00:32:36,133 Speaker 16: But however, I'll speak up on behalf of just Senda's 686 00:32:36,173 --> 00:32:39,013 Speaker 16: favorite people, the under three and a half ton newt 687 00:32:39,773 --> 00:32:42,973 Speaker 16: And I can't actually open up with saying common sense, 688 00:32:43,013 --> 00:32:46,653 Speaker 16: can I? You can't use that anymore? So logically saying 689 00:32:47,373 --> 00:32:52,973 Speaker 16: why wouldn't you just increase the diesel to accommodate those 690 00:32:53,333 --> 00:32:55,973 Speaker 16: under three and a half ton Then we wouldn't have 691 00:32:56,013 --> 00:32:57,613 Speaker 16: to worry about it, because I never had to worry 692 00:32:57,653 --> 00:32:59,453 Speaker 16: about it when I was living in an audi. Now 693 00:32:59,693 --> 00:33:03,053 Speaker 16: fears fear, though, truckie, they're going to go shit. That's sorry, 694 00:33:03,093 --> 00:33:04,333 Speaker 16: it didn't mean to swear, but they're going to go 695 00:33:04,813 --> 00:33:08,573 Speaker 16: heal with bells Jesus going to make life a little 696 00:33:08,613 --> 00:33:11,653 Speaker 16: bit more expensive. So give them a break, just drop it, 697 00:33:11,693 --> 00:33:14,573 Speaker 16: ever so slightly. I mean, it's the bigger vehicles. 698 00:33:14,213 --> 00:33:15,013 Speaker 14: That wreck the roads. 699 00:33:15,813 --> 00:33:19,293 Speaker 16: Certainly we don't know how to build roads properly, but 700 00:33:19,693 --> 00:33:22,733 Speaker 16: we're getting there. But I mean, for goodness sakes, the 701 00:33:22,853 --> 00:33:26,213 Speaker 16: only ones that are benefit benefiting out of evs is 702 00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:30,213 Speaker 16: the power supplies. So you know, yeah, I can see 703 00:33:30,253 --> 00:33:31,653 Speaker 16: why they want to have a crack at that. But 704 00:33:32,253 --> 00:33:35,093 Speaker 16: from a three and a half ton, and under perspective, 705 00:33:36,653 --> 00:33:39,253 Speaker 16: it is a hassle. I'm a sole trader and it 706 00:33:39,413 --> 00:33:40,533 Speaker 16: is a pain in the backside. 707 00:33:41,133 --> 00:33:42,933 Speaker 15: But you know, you vigilantly have to do it. 708 00:33:43,013 --> 00:33:45,853 Speaker 16: But wouldn't it just be good just to rock up, 709 00:33:46,333 --> 00:33:47,933 Speaker 16: fill up and bugger off. 710 00:33:48,133 --> 00:33:50,533 Speaker 17: You know, IM all for it. 711 00:33:50,613 --> 00:33:53,173 Speaker 16: If it cost me a couple of cents more, I'd 712 00:33:53,213 --> 00:33:56,773 Speaker 16: be rought up there.

Your tires are visible by everyone. 816 00:38:55,293 --> 00:38:56,813 Speaker 2: Well, I was thinking I saw the box. I'm just 817 00:38:56,813 --> 00:38:59,653 Speaker 2: trying to get my head around that. So yeah, because 818 00:38:59,653 --> 00:39:01,253 Speaker 2: when you go to your warrant a fitness and if 819 00:39:01,293 --> 00:39:04,533 Speaker 2: your tires are rooted for one of a bitter word, 820 00:39:04,653 --> 00:39:07,493 Speaker 2: then you have to replace the tires. So then your 821 00:39:07,533 --> 00:39:11,453 Speaker 2: tireplace gets a big text on there. Yeah, I mean, jeez, 822 00:39:11,533 --> 00:39:13,813 Speaker 2: tires are so expensive here they are. 823 00:39:15,333 --> 00:39:17,293 Speaker 3: Well, the only offishal I can see in that, Simon, 824 00:39:17,413 --> 00:39:19,253 Speaker 3: is I like to try and get as much out 825 00:39:19,293 --> 00:39:21,533 Speaker 3: of my tires as I can. And you know, if 826 00:39:21,533 --> 00:39:23,573 Speaker 3: I take it to the warrant and they say, well, 827 00:39:23,933 --> 00:39:26,933 Speaker 3: you're two millimeters under what we should take off, I'll 828 00:39:26,933 --> 00:39:28,493 Speaker 3: try and argue the point and say, well, come on, 829 00:39:28,733 --> 00:39:30,053 Speaker 3: you know I can get a few months more out 830 00:39:30,093 --> 00:39:30,333 Speaker 3: of those. 831 00:39:31,453 --> 00:39:35,773 Speaker 19: Yes, but yeah, maybe the police might think otherwise if 832 00:39:35,813 --> 00:39:40,253 Speaker 19: they see you driving on the road with worn tires. 833 00:39:40,453 --> 00:39:42,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know what Warre in 834 00:39:42,933 --> 00:39:44,933 Speaker 2: a fitness place, dodgy place you're going to where you 835 00:39:45,253 --> 00:39:46,173 Speaker 2: get to negotiate. 836 00:39:46,373 --> 00:39:47,813 Speaker 3: But he's a good man. 837 00:39:48,533 --> 00:39:50,173 Speaker 2: Been to too many Warren places that I've got to 838 00:39:50,213 --> 00:39:51,093 Speaker 2: negotiate for a while. 839 00:39:51,213 --> 00:39:54,973 Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting, Simon, thank you very much. Right, good discussion. 840 00:39:55,013 --> 00:39:57,253 Speaker 3: I think that's where we'll leave it because we've got 841 00:39:57,493 --> 00:39:59,853 Speaker 3: a new topic on after two o'clock mets. 842 00:40:00,413 --> 00:40:05,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. We're going to talk about the subject 843 00:40:05,453 --> 00:40:09,013 Speaker 2: of ertification of the Internet, that dead net theory and 844 00:40:09,053 --> 00:40:11,453 Speaker 2: how things are getting worse and worse and worse. 845 00:40:11,693 --> 00:40:14,292 Speaker 3: Yeah, and before we get to the headlines, what's happening 846 00:40:14,333 --> 00:40:15,013 Speaker 3: in the cricket one. 847 00:40:14,933 --> 00:40:18,493 Speaker 2: Hundred and nineteen for two A ravishing revenger On thirty 848 00:40:18,533 --> 00:40:22,573 Speaker 2: three steady the ship Willington on twenty eight. We're looking good, 849 00:40:22,653 --> 00:40:25,533 Speaker 2: although came Willison just got smashed right in the snares 850 00:40:26,053 --> 00:40:27,613 Speaker 2: or the delivery. But he looks all right. 851 00:40:27,973 --> 00:40:30,693 Speaker 3: He's a beautiful man, came Willimpson's a strong beard. 852 00:40:30,613 --> 00:40:31,212 Speaker 4: Strong beard. 853 00:40:31,293 --> 00:40:32,692 Speaker 2: He's got a very strong beard. 854 00:40:32,773 --> 00:40:32,973 Speaker 4: Game. 855 00:40:33,133 --> 00:40:35,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh we eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty 856 00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:38,333 Speaker 3: is the numberical news, sport and weather on its way. 857 00:40:38,373 --> 00:40:40,733 Speaker 3: You're listening to Matt and Tyler, very very good afternoons. 858 00:40:40,813 --> 00:41:01,213 Speaker 4: You talking with you all afternoon. 859 00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:04,973 Speaker 1: It's Matt Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoons New for twenty 860 00:41:05,053 --> 00:41:07,013 Speaker 1: twenty four News Talk, said. 861 00:41:06,853 --> 00:41:11,493 Speaker 3: Bell afternoon, Welcome back into the show. Seven past two, 862 00:41:11,813 --> 00:41:14,853 Speaker 3: and our next topic is gonna be a doozy. It 863 00:41:15,013 --> 00:41:16,093 Speaker 3: was word of the year. 864 00:41:17,493 --> 00:41:19,333 Speaker 2: In certification. Before we go to that, I want to 865 00:41:19,333 --> 00:41:21,573 Speaker 2: talk about the cricket. One hundred and twenty two for two. 866 00:41:22,173 --> 00:41:24,853 Speaker 2: Came Lesson just smashing of the four. He's thirty four 867 00:41:25,053 --> 00:41:29,293 Speaker 2: from eighty ravishing. Rickravender is on thirty four. So yeah, 868 00:41:29,293 --> 00:41:32,453 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty six for two. England won the 869 00:41:32,533 --> 00:41:35,533 Speaker 2: toss and put us in. So boy oh boy, that 870 00:41:35,733 --> 00:41:38,413 Speaker 2: is a pretty good start for New Zealand. You don't 871 00:41:38,413 --> 00:41:40,212 Speaker 2: want to put a side into bat and have them 872 00:41:40,253 --> 00:41:42,893 Speaker 2: go well, that's very demoralizing. So come on, it. 873 00:41:42,933 --> 00:41:45,652 Speaker 3: Looks like beautiful conditions down there in the garden city. 874 00:41:45,733 --> 00:41:48,973 Speaker 3: Hagley Oval, beautiful oval. We'll keep you up to date 875 00:41:49,053 --> 00:41:51,373 Speaker 3: with the cricket as the afternoon progresses. But yes, and 876 00:41:51,453 --> 00:41:56,413 Speaker 3: shitification word of the year according to Macquarie Dictionary. And 877 00:41:56,533 --> 00:41:58,053 Speaker 3: a lot of people have been chatting about this in 878 00:41:58,093 --> 00:42:00,453 Speaker 3: the last couple of days. Man, yeah, they certainly have. 879 00:42:00,893 --> 00:42:02,653 Speaker 2: And look we're going to we might start calling it 880 00:42:02,733 --> 00:42:05,533 Speaker 2: in grapification, so should we? Should we mix it up? 881 00:42:05,853 --> 00:42:08,013 Speaker 2: Because you know, there's some of our listeners. We've got 882 00:42:08,053 --> 00:42:11,493 Speaker 2: a huge listenership, but that the radio survey just said, 883 00:42:12,053 --> 00:42:15,173 Speaker 2: and some of them might feel a little bit challenged 884 00:42:15,573 --> 00:42:18,212 Speaker 2: that much usage of the the S word. 885 00:42:18,373 --> 00:42:21,453 Speaker 3: We've used up our teally of that particular word. So 886 00:42:21,613 --> 00:42:23,213 Speaker 3: it's huge in crapification and. 887 00:42:23,293 --> 00:42:27,853 Speaker 2: Crapification, although in certification is better anyway. So this is 888 00:42:27,893 --> 00:42:31,692 Speaker 2: how it works. This is how platforms die. Digital platforms die. 889 00:42:31,813 --> 00:42:35,533 Speaker 2: You know, your facebooks, your Googles, your your dating apps, 890 00:42:35,573 --> 00:42:40,453 Speaker 2: even Netflix, all these silicon value startups that come through 891 00:42:40,533 --> 00:42:43,533 Speaker 2: and become big and take over the world. So first 892 00:42:43,573 --> 00:42:46,053 Speaker 2: they are good to their users, then they abuse the 893 00:42:46,173 --> 00:42:48,413 Speaker 2: users to make things better for the business customers. We've 894 00:42:48,413 --> 00:42:51,133 Speaker 2: all seen this with Facebook. Finally they abuse those business 895 00:42:51,173 --> 00:42:54,013 Speaker 2: customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then 896 00:42:54,053 --> 00:42:57,173 Speaker 2: they die. It's called in crapification, and it is a 897 00:42:57,253 --> 00:43:00,773 Speaker 2: seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease 898 00:43:00,893 --> 00:43:03,333 Speaker 2: of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the 899 00:43:03,413 --> 00:43:05,853 Speaker 2: nature of a two sided market where a platform sits 900 00:43:05,893 --> 00:43:08,212 Speaker 2: between buyers and sellers and they hold each other. Hoss 901 00:43:08,933 --> 00:43:12,252 Speaker 2: are raking up ever ever larger share of the valley 902 00:43:12,293 --> 00:43:14,853 Speaker 2: that places between them. So if you think of Amazon, 903 00:43:14,933 --> 00:43:18,453 Speaker 2: for example, that's a class example. You know, they ran 904 00:43:18,533 --> 00:43:20,373 Speaker 2: a loss for a very long time to bring users in. 905 00:43:20,453 --> 00:43:25,813 Speaker 2: As soon as they're successful, they prioritize the marketplace, they 906 00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:27,573 Speaker 2: take money off there, and then they eventually take the 907 00:43:27,613 --> 00:43:29,453 Speaker 2: money for the shareholders, and it gets worse and worse 908 00:43:29,493 --> 00:43:33,853 Speaker 2: and worse. Look at Facebook. Facebook was all about getting 909 00:43:33,893 --> 00:43:37,053 Speaker 2: people on Facebook, and then they got addicted to Facebook, 910 00:43:37,253 --> 00:43:39,253 Speaker 2: and then they also got addicted to sharing pictures with 911 00:43:39,293 --> 00:43:41,613 Speaker 2: their family and knowing what's going on. So they were 912 00:43:41,693 --> 00:43:47,093 Speaker 2: on Facebook, and then they started just absolutely pumping you 913 00:43:47,213 --> 00:43:50,573 Speaker 2: full of ads and from and so basically became more 914 00:43:50,653 --> 00:43:53,053 Speaker 2: to the side of the business and to the and 915 00:43:53,533 --> 00:43:57,493 Speaker 2: for the businesses, what they used to share didn't didn't 916 00:43:57,613 --> 00:44:01,053 Speaker 2: get as much, you know, was throttled, and you paid 917 00:44:01,573 --> 00:44:04,653 Speaker 2: to boost what you're putting out there. So Facebook is 918 00:44:04,653 --> 00:44:05,533 Speaker 2: on the way down? 919 00:44:06,373 --> 00:44:08,693 Speaker 3: Do you think we're at peak and crepit? For k Now, 920 00:44:08,733 --> 00:44:10,413 Speaker 3: it does feel like that when I look at Facebook, 921 00:44:10,413 --> 00:44:13,733 Speaker 3: and you mentioned that when it first started up, I 922 00:44:13,853 --> 00:44:15,613 Speaker 3: loved it, and I loved it for a long time 923 00:44:15,693 --> 00:44:18,493 Speaker 3: and I'm still on Facebook, but I think now it 924 00:44:18,733 --> 00:44:22,653 Speaker 3: has reached peak crapness. Well, just the amount of ads 925 00:44:22,693 --> 00:44:23,292 Speaker 3: on being fed. 926 00:44:23,573 --> 00:44:26,212 Speaker 2: Well, the concept of it is that all of these 927 00:44:26,293 --> 00:44:29,933 Speaker 2: businesses by their very nature will go that way because 928 00:44:30,053 --> 00:44:32,133 Speaker 2: of the process of trying to get as many people 929 00:44:32,213 --> 00:44:34,893 Speaker 2: involved as you can, so you seem like you're getting 930 00:44:34,893 --> 00:44:37,813 Speaker 2: a free, free product. It seems amazing. So they have 931 00:44:37,893 --> 00:44:39,573 Speaker 2: to make it incredibly good for you to get on, 932 00:44:39,613 --> 00:44:42,533 Speaker 2: to get their numbers up, subscribe numbers up or or 933 00:44:42,613 --> 00:44:45,053 Speaker 2: whatever it is, and then they have to make money 934 00:44:45,093 --> 00:44:47,733 Speaker 2: off you, So then they make the service much worse 935 00:44:47,893 --> 00:44:50,053 Speaker 2: for you in favor of the businesses to make money. 936 00:44:50,373 --> 00:44:52,973 Speaker 2: And then they make it worse for the businesses and 937 00:44:53,093 --> 00:44:55,732 Speaker 2: the people to make money for their shareholders. And then 938 00:44:55,773 --> 00:44:57,652 Speaker 2: it's just the process for all these things. You can 939 00:44:57,693 --> 00:45:00,212 Speaker 2: see it. Dating apps are a classic one that people 940 00:45:00,293 --> 00:45:02,053 Speaker 2: talking about now. They need to get as many users 941 00:45:02,053 --> 00:45:04,893 Speaker 2: on there, so there's many faces, so people could swipe 942 00:45:04,933 --> 00:45:09,573 Speaker 2: and swipe away and in the hope some love or 943 00:45:09,653 --> 00:45:14,053 Speaker 2: some action, swipe and swipe away. And then they need 944 00:45:14,133 --> 00:45:16,133 Speaker 2: to make money, so they try and get you to subscribe, 945 00:45:16,173 --> 00:45:18,733 Speaker 2: to pay more money, to pay money to be part 946 00:45:18,773 --> 00:45:21,213 Speaker 2: of the service, and then they throttle the normal service 947 00:45:22,053 --> 00:45:24,573 Speaker 2: just for the subscribers, and then they start throtting the 948 00:45:24,613 --> 00:45:27,133 Speaker 2: subscriber service once people are in there, and then the 949 00:45:27,253 --> 00:45:30,973 Speaker 2: whole thing is it's rubbish. And on dating apps there's 950 00:45:30,973 --> 00:45:34,893 Speaker 2: the other skewed incentive to keep people on there therefore 951 00:45:34,973 --> 00:45:36,732 Speaker 2: not do what they're supposed to do, because they want 952 00:45:36,773 --> 00:45:38,573 Speaker 2: you on there as a subscriber as long as you can, 953 00:45:39,053 --> 00:45:41,533 Speaker 2: so they are actually incentivized for you not to find 954 00:45:41,573 --> 00:45:43,613 Speaker 2: a partner on the apps now. So the apps, the 955 00:45:44,653 --> 00:45:47,533 Speaker 2: dating apps now are far far worse than they were 956 00:45:47,893 --> 00:45:48,493 Speaker 2: when they started. 957 00:45:48,613 --> 00:45:50,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, Netflix, you could argue would be another one that 958 00:45:51,173 --> 00:45:53,893 Speaker 3: they won, the streaming wars or certainly have done very 959 00:45:53,933 --> 00:45:56,533 Speaker 3: well out of it, got a lot of users to 960 00:45:56,613 --> 00:45:59,493 Speaker 3: their base, and got some sort of quasi monopoly on that. 961 00:46:00,093 --> 00:46:02,573 Speaker 3: Now they're starting to raise the prices they bring in 962 00:46:02,653 --> 00:46:05,253 Speaker 3: inn ads ads on a streaming service. 963 00:46:05,333 --> 00:46:07,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean with the ads, what happens is, 964 00:46:08,093 --> 00:46:10,333 Speaker 2: you know there's the ad the user. You know, you 965 00:46:10,413 --> 00:46:13,173 Speaker 2: pay ads, you get ads and you pay less, but 966 00:46:13,293 --> 00:46:15,813 Speaker 2: then then there's the there's the pause ads that you 967 00:46:15,933 --> 00:46:18,373 Speaker 2: get on things now, so so you know the service 968 00:46:18,413 --> 00:46:21,093 Speaker 2: does does get worse over time.

That's the digital platforms. 990 00:47:23,533 --> 00:47:27,652 Speaker 2: Online platforms apps tend to get worse over time. First 991 00:47:27,653 --> 00:47:29,533 Speaker 2: they're good to the users, then they abuse the users 992 00:47:29,613 --> 00:47:31,573 Speaker 2: to make things better for business customers. Finally they abuse 993 00:47:31,613 --> 00:47:34,493 Speaker 2: those business customers to crawl back all the value themselves. 994 00:47:34,893 --> 00:47:36,933 Speaker 2: So have you noticed this? Have you noticed it on 995 00:47:37,053 --> 00:47:39,613 Speaker 2: Facebook at getting worse? Have you noticed Google getting worse? 996 00:47:39,653 --> 00:47:42,533 Speaker 2: Have you noticed the apps getting worse? People are complaining 997 00:47:42,573 --> 00:47:43,413 Speaker 2: about Airbnb. 998 00:47:43,773 --> 00:47:45,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the one that I've noticed. So it was 999 00:47:46,093 --> 00:47:48,413 Speaker 3: when it first came to New Zealand and the world 1000 00:47:48,453 --> 00:47:50,413 Speaker 3: for that matter. It was a disruptor and you could 1001 00:47:50,453 --> 00:47:52,093 Speaker 3: get a really good deal when there were all these 1002 00:47:52,173 --> 00:47:55,613 Speaker 3: new places that opened up in fantastic little hideaways. But 1003 00:47:56,133 --> 00:47:59,333 Speaker 3: now that it's kind of established itself, they are charging 1004 00:47:59,453 --> 00:48:03,013 Speaker 3: nightly rates that are exceeding those of existing hotels. So 1005 00:48:03,093 --> 00:48:04,853 Speaker 3: you've got to pay the cleaning fee then you're going 1006 00:48:04,893 --> 00:48:08,173 Speaker 3: to pay the tax. Then sometimes these added fees chucked 1007 00:48:08,173 --> 00:48:10,893 Speaker 3: on there that I can't quite understand. So now I 1008 00:48:11,013 --> 00:48:13,453 Speaker 3: still love Airbnb, but quite often if I'm looking at 1009 00:48:13,493 --> 00:48:16,813 Speaker 3: a holiday, then I equal that up to what the 1010 00:48:16,853 --> 00:48:18,933 Speaker 3: hotel is charging and think I'm going to go hotel 1011 00:48:19,013 --> 00:48:21,053 Speaker 3: now because I don't have to play a cleaning fee. 1012 00:48:21,093 --> 00:48:23,493 Speaker 3: The cleaner comes in and sorts out my horrible mess 1013 00:48:23,773 --> 00:48:25,692 Speaker 3: in the hotel room, and I don't get punished by 1014 00:48:25,733 --> 00:48:29,413 Speaker 3: the Airbnb host saying you're a pig. And all these 1015 00:48:29,533 --> 00:48:31,413 Speaker 3: just added fees. But that's the point, isn't it. That 1016 00:48:31,533 --> 00:48:35,213 Speaker 3: they establish market dominance and then they start jacking up 1017 00:48:35,213 --> 00:48:35,653 Speaker 3: the price. 1018 00:48:36,373 --> 00:48:39,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a Airbnb a while ago because I 1019 00:48:39,213 --> 00:48:41,453 Speaker 2: just found it a little bit too stressful. You go there, 1020 00:48:41,533 --> 00:48:43,373 Speaker 2: there's a set of rules in the house. You're going 1021 00:48:43,413 --> 00:48:46,453 Speaker 2: into someone's place, whereas if you stay in a motel 1022 00:48:46,693 --> 00:48:49,973 Speaker 2: or a hotel, you know the rules, they have the 1023 00:48:50,053 --> 00:48:51,013 Speaker 2: same rules everywhere. 1024 00:48:51,053 --> 00:48:51,573 Speaker 15: You just go in. 1025 00:48:51,693 --> 00:48:53,693 Speaker 2: Then it's something peaceful about it. You don't have to 1026 00:48:53,773 --> 00:48:58,013 Speaker 2: clean up. And maybe Airbnb forced the hotel prices down. 1027 00:48:58,053 --> 00:49:02,893 Speaker 2: I know in the United States, hotels pivoted and they 1028 00:49:02,973 --> 00:49:06,733 Speaker 2: started having you know, putting more rooms that had kitchens 1029 00:49:06,773 --> 00:49:09,333 Speaker 2: in them and more of that kind of apartment style, 1030 00:49:11,133 --> 00:49:13,253 Speaker 2: you know, option in a hotel. So you kind of 1031 00:49:13,293 --> 00:49:15,053 Speaker 2: got that thing because some people don't want to have 1032 00:49:15,053 --> 00:49:17,133 Speaker 2: to go to a hotel eating restaurants. They want to 1033 00:49:17,133 --> 00:49:20,133 Speaker 2: cook and stuff for their family. But yeah, I mean 1034 00:49:20,173 --> 00:49:21,893 Speaker 2: I just went to too many. It's too much of 1035 00:49:21,973 --> 00:49:25,053 Speaker 2: a roll of the dice to go to a mbnb 1036 00:49:25,173 --> 00:49:25,373 Speaker 2: for me. 1037 00:49:25,573 --> 00:49:28,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you run an Airbnb, are you getting frustrated 1038 00:49:28,613 --> 00:49:31,493 Speaker 3: with these added charges that the platform is adding on 1039 00:49:31,773 --> 00:49:34,773 Speaker 3: for you? And I looked at a few airbnbs over 1040 00:49:34,853 --> 00:49:37,813 Speaker 3: summer up in Northland, and the nightly rate when you 1041 00:49:37,853 --> 00:49:39,613 Speaker 3: look on the platform as you're going through, looks all right, 1042 00:49:39,653 --> 00:49:41,253 Speaker 3: say one hundred and ninety eight per ninth them, Oh 1043 00:49:41,333 --> 00:49:43,013 Speaker 3: that looks good. Yeah, So then I book it for 1044 00:49:43,053 --> 00:49:44,533 Speaker 3: three nights and all of a sudden it's over a 1045 00:49:44,613 --> 00:49:46,533 Speaker 3: thousand bucks. So they hang on a minute, how did 1046 00:49:46,573 --> 00:49:49,013 Speaker 3: that happen? Yeah, So if you've got an Airbnb, that 1047 00:49:49,213 --> 00:49:52,013 Speaker 3: must be frustrating for you as a host to have 1048 00:49:52,293 --> 00:49:55,253 Speaker 3: those extra fees added on and you've got to justify 1049 00:49:55,373 --> 00:49:55,933 Speaker 3: that to the client. 1050 00:49:56,453 --> 00:50:01,293 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, No, I've just kind of completely off Airbnb. 1051 00:50:01,413 --> 00:50:03,133 Speaker 2: It just puts me off the whole idea of a 1052 00:50:03,173 --> 00:50:06,333 Speaker 2: holiday like that. There's an add of stress that I'm 1053 00:50:06,413 --> 00:50:11,133 Speaker 2: not into. Talking about Google, that's another one. So if 1054 00:50:11,173 --> 00:50:14,253 Speaker 2: you search something in Google now, then you will just 1055 00:50:14,333 --> 00:50:16,013 Speaker 2: get If you're looking for a product on Google, you 1056 00:50:16,173 --> 00:50:20,053 Speaker 2: just get four hundred examples. And I've talked about this before. 1057 00:50:20,093 --> 00:50:24,093 Speaker 2: I will never buy anything from Tu. So and the 1058 00:50:24,413 --> 00:50:28,173 Speaker 2: reason why this happens is because these platforms are a 1059 00:50:28,253 --> 00:50:31,773 Speaker 2: free service. But what you realize of the time that 1060 00:50:31,893 --> 00:50:34,013 Speaker 2: you become the product that they sell to other people. 1061 00:50:34,693 --> 00:50:36,493 Speaker 2: So you think you're getting a free service on Google, 1062 00:50:36,573 --> 00:50:39,613 Speaker 2: and look, we're googling all the time, but if you're 1063 00:50:39,653 --> 00:50:42,693 Speaker 2: googling a product, that's when you become that. You become 1064 00:50:42,773 --> 00:50:46,373 Speaker 2: the product for Temu. And so whatever you're looking for, 1065 00:50:46,733 --> 00:50:48,653 Speaker 2: they will not give you what you're actually looking for. 1066 00:50:49,013 --> 00:50:50,933 Speaker 2: What they'll give you is what tu sells. 1067 00:50:51,093 --> 00:50:55,853 Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely, Sharon. You're an Airbnb host. Yes, that's correct, 1068 00:50:55,893 --> 00:50:58,733 Speaker 3: So we're nice to chat with you, so would you 1069 00:50:58,893 --> 00:51:01,853 Speaker 3: agree that And this is internationally not just a New Zealand, 1070 00:51:01,893 --> 00:51:05,613 Speaker 3: but Airbnb as a platform have started to introduce fees 1071 00:51:05,853 --> 00:51:09,893 Speaker 3: that they traditionally didn't have, and that is frustrating for 1072 00:51:09,973 --> 00:51:10,613 Speaker 3: some customers. 1073 00:51:11,813 --> 00:51:13,613 Speaker 20: Yeah, I actually, to be honest with you, I used 1074 00:51:13,613 --> 00:51:15,973 Speaker 20: to be an Airbnb host. Now I pull myself off 1075 00:51:16,013 --> 00:51:19,013 Speaker 20: the site and I do direct bookings. But yeah, Airbnb 1076 00:51:19,133 --> 00:51:20,773 Speaker 20: is getting a little bit of a best station in 1077 00:51:20,853 --> 00:51:24,293 Speaker 20: life as far as some hosts. The concern because they're 1078 00:51:24,333 --> 00:51:26,093 Speaker 20: putting all these charges on it that you know, and 1079 00:51:26,933 --> 00:51:28,533 Speaker 20: one of the charges that we have to pay is 1080 00:51:28,973 --> 00:51:33,453 Speaker 20: that GST under sixty thousand dollars that we earn. Yuba 1081 00:51:33,573 --> 00:51:37,133 Speaker 20: drivers do and ex give me all these fees that 1082 00:51:37,213 --> 00:51:41,573 Speaker 20: we've been loved with, and it is frustrating because a 1083 00:51:41,613 --> 00:51:44,172 Speaker 20: lot of them that we haven't imposed. So a lot 1084 00:51:44,213 --> 00:51:48,133 Speaker 20: of hosts actually don't charge cleaning fees any longer because 1085 00:51:48,173 --> 00:51:50,652 Speaker 20: you know, that was an outrage about that and fair enough, 1086 00:51:52,093 --> 00:51:53,813 Speaker 20: so you know, some people just build it into their 1087 00:51:53,893 --> 00:51:59,333 Speaker 20: nightly price. But yeah, it's just it's getting a difficult 1088 00:51:59,573 --> 00:52:03,253 Speaker 20: thing to platform to be on because you've got all 1089 00:52:03,293 --> 00:52:07,013 Speaker 20: these things taxes, GST, cleaning seas. 1090 00:52:06,733 --> 00:52:08,853 Speaker 14: And it really raps the nightly rate up. 1091 00:52:09,053 --> 00:52:11,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, and as a host, I suppose there's there's not 1092 00:52:12,133 --> 00:52:14,653 Speaker 3: much you can do. Share and when Airbnb is a 1093 00:52:14,693 --> 00:52:18,252 Speaker 3: digital platform, introduces a new fee or a new rule 1094 00:52:18,973 --> 00:52:21,573 Speaker 3: and you don't like that, you go back to complain 1095 00:52:21,653 --> 00:52:23,933 Speaker 3: to them. You're pretty much just shouting at air aren't you. 1096 00:52:23,933 --> 00:52:25,692 Speaker 3: At that point I imagine it's very hard to get 1097 00:52:25,693 --> 00:52:26,453 Speaker 3: a hold of anybody. 1098 00:52:27,733 --> 00:52:31,573 Speaker 20: Yeah, well, you know, we do have host club type 1099 00:52:31,613 --> 00:52:34,453 Speaker 20: things where it gets discussed and certain people can put 1100 00:52:34,533 --> 00:52:37,453 Speaker 20: that issue to AIRBND, But because there's such a broad 1101 00:52:37,533 --> 00:52:43,493 Speaker 20: and a big corporation organization, they don't really take any 1102 00:52:43,573 --> 00:52:45,853 Speaker 20: notice of it. I mean, strictly speaking, they're just a 1103 00:52:45,893 --> 00:52:48,813 Speaker 20: book booking platform. They don't own our properties, although you 1104 00:52:48,893 --> 00:52:52,853 Speaker 20: think there would the way they demand. But you know, 1105 00:52:53,413 --> 00:52:56,613 Speaker 20: it does get very frustrating because you don't necessarily have 1106 00:52:56,773 --> 00:53:02,533 Speaker 20: a voice as such. Individually host clubs or associations you 1107 00:53:02,613 --> 00:53:07,613 Speaker 20: could possibly which you know troubles too, but even then 1108 00:53:08,533 --> 00:53:10,893 Speaker 20: they really don't do anything about it. 1109 00:53:12,493 --> 00:53:14,773 Speaker 3: And it goes back just just going back to the 1110 00:53:14,893 --> 00:53:17,733 Speaker 3: origin of this topic, share and in crapification, let's call it. 1111 00:53:18,493 --> 00:53:20,533 Speaker 3: I mean, do you do think there is some element 1112 00:53:20,653 --> 00:53:22,893 Speaker 3: there when you look at the likes of Airbnb and 1113 00:53:23,093 --> 00:53:25,453 Speaker 3: some of those other digital platforms that it started off 1114 00:53:25,533 --> 00:53:28,013 Speaker 3: with with so much hope and promise that it's going 1115 00:53:28,053 --> 00:53:30,093 Speaker 3: to be a better deal for the small guy. Then 1116 00:53:30,173 --> 00:53:33,093 Speaker 3: slowly but surely, they're turning it into a product that 1117 00:53:33,293 --> 00:53:34,253 Speaker 3: is anti consumer. 1118 00:53:35,853 --> 00:53:36,413 Speaker 17: Yeah, definitely. 1119 00:53:36,493 --> 00:53:38,813 Speaker 20: I've been a host for fifteen years. I've been hosted 1120 00:53:38,973 --> 00:53:41,813 Speaker 20: two thousand and nine, and it's not the business that 1121 00:53:41,973 --> 00:53:45,493 Speaker 20: used to be. It was wonderful, it was great. You know, 1122 00:53:45,693 --> 00:53:47,692 Speaker 20: you just got people booking and then it was all 1123 00:53:47,773 --> 00:53:50,053 Speaker 20: wonderful and you didn't have all these extra things, all 1124 00:53:50,133 --> 00:53:54,453 Speaker 20: this things forced upon you that they now try and do. 1125 00:53:55,293 --> 00:53:56,573 Speaker 8: And it was just so easy. 1126 00:53:56,693 --> 00:54:00,133 Speaker 20: But now they seem to complicate it when they doesn't 1127 00:54:00,213 --> 00:54:01,293 Speaker 20: need to be complicated. 1128 00:54:02,053 --> 00:54:02,252 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1129 00:54:02,293 --> 00:54:04,173 Speaker 2: I guess the thing with these big companies, right is 1130 00:54:04,213 --> 00:54:06,653 Speaker 2: they start off and they run huge losses for it. 1131 00:54:06,733 --> 00:54:08,893 Speaker 2: For the longest time, Amazon was one and on all 1132 00:54:08,973 --> 00:54:12,293 Speaker 2: these all these companies do. They run huge losses and 1133 00:54:12,573 --> 00:54:15,453 Speaker 2: that's how they get people on board. And so Airbnb 1134 00:54:15,613 --> 00:54:18,053 Speaker 2: works for a while while the company is losing money. 1135 00:54:18,093 --> 00:54:20,453 Speaker 2: But as soon as they try and you know, and 1136 00:54:20,653 --> 00:54:23,413 Speaker 2: and and they're taking business off hotels that obviously lose 1137 00:54:23,453 --> 00:54:24,973 Speaker 2: a lot of money because you know, they cost a 1138 00:54:24,973 --> 00:54:26,373 Speaker 2: lot of money to run. They got out their buildings, 1139 00:54:26,373 --> 00:54:27,933 Speaker 2: are going to have everything, they got, employe people, all 1140 00:54:27,933 --> 00:54:31,653 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. But then these companies realize that 1141 00:54:31,773 --> 00:54:34,133 Speaker 2: at some point they can't keep losing money, they have 1142 00:54:34,173 --> 00:54:36,333 Speaker 2: to make make money. And as soon as they start 1143 00:54:36,413 --> 00:54:39,253 Speaker 2: doing that, then they come in line with the actual 1144 00:54:39,373 --> 00:54:43,213 Speaker 2: old businesses that were there, and then they become generally 1145 00:54:43,293 --> 00:54:45,573 Speaker 2: become worse than the businesses that they were there before. 1146 00:54:46,813 --> 00:54:48,893 Speaker 20: Yeah, well that's true. I mean you say about taking 1147 00:54:48,973 --> 00:54:53,333 Speaker 20: business off hotels, that's only airbnbs that are in central cities. Yeah, 1148 00:54:53,453 --> 00:54:57,173 Speaker 20: like my abb there's no there's no hotel for fifty kilometers, so. 1149 00:54:58,773 --> 00:55:00,773 Speaker 2: Business, Well, what about book have you? 1150 00:55:00,893 --> 00:55:00,933 Speaker 13: Have? 1151 00:55:01,053 --> 00:55:01,093 Speaker 12: You? 1152 00:55:01,293 --> 00:55:03,933 Speaker 2: Have you done?

And that's another that's 1159 00:55:18,733 --> 00:55:20,533 Speaker 2: another part of it as well, sharing is that these 1160 00:55:20,573 --> 00:55:24,293 Speaker 2: aren't New Zealand companies, so all the money's going offshore. 1161 00:55:24,893 --> 00:55:27,413 Speaker 2: And as you say, and as you say, it's completely impersonal. 1162 00:55:27,653 --> 00:55:30,373 Speaker 2: You don't have any you can't ring anyone, you can't 1163 00:55:30,373 --> 00:55:32,613 Speaker 2: talk about anything, you can't debate anything with them.

That if it wasn't for the apps, 1392 01:06:11,093 --> 01:06:13,653 Speaker 2: then that would still be going on because so many people, 1393 01:06:13,853 --> 01:06:16,013 Speaker 2: I mean so many people have met each other. We've 1394 01:06:16,013 --> 01:06:16,813 Speaker 2: all got on mom and dad. 1395 01:06:17,013 --> 01:06:22,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, system, the system used to work, David.

The guests are still booking, I guess, 1461 01:09:32,053 --> 01:09:33,652 Speaker 17: so they must be happy. 1462 01:09:33,973 --> 01:09:34,173 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1463 01:09:34,853 --> 01:09:37,492 Speaker 2: Interesting, Well, thank you so much for insights, David. So 1464 01:09:37,652 --> 01:09:40,093 Speaker 2: that's a positive Airbnb story. Yeah, I've had a whole 1465 01:09:40,093 --> 01:09:42,133 Speaker 2: lot of negative ones. So he doesn't believe in the 1466 01:09:42,572 --> 01:09:44,612 Speaker 2: certification theory on the Airbnb yep. 1467 01:09:44,732 --> 01:09:47,572 Speaker 3: And we also were talking about dating apps. Plenty of 1468 01:09:47,652 --> 01:09:50,932 Speaker 3: teachts coming through on nine to nine two Get a guys. 1469 01:09:51,253 --> 01:09:54,532 Speaker 3: I split up with my long term partner a couple 1470 01:09:54,572 --> 01:09:58,253 Speaker 3: of years ago, and boy, oh boy, dating apps are 1471 01:09:58,372 --> 01:10:00,652 Speaker 3: the worst. I barely get any matches, and when I 1472 01:10:00,732 --> 01:10:02,812 Speaker 3: do get a match, quite often it is a bot 1473 01:10:03,013 --> 01:10:06,213 Speaker 3: or not a real person. Yes, bring back the old 1474 01:10:06,293 --> 01:10:08,213 Speaker 3: days of talking to each other in bars, but even 1475 01:10:08,372 --> 01:10:10,372 Speaker 3: that is difficult now with the new generation. 1476 01:10:11,053 --> 01:10:13,692 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I think because the apps came in so 1477 01:10:14,013 --> 01:10:16,093 Speaker 2: that what they do is they disrupt the market. So 1478 01:10:16,173 --> 01:10:18,892 Speaker 2: they disrupted the dating market by making it more convenient 1479 01:10:18,973 --> 01:10:21,012 Speaker 2: and removing the friction of having to talk to people 1480 01:10:21,093 --> 01:10:25,412 Speaker 2: directly they get in there, and then once everyone's on there, 1481 01:10:25,452 --> 01:10:28,572 Speaker 2: and they've changed everything, and the social norms of going 1482 01:10:28,652 --> 01:10:30,492 Speaker 2: up and talking to people are gone, and people lose 1483 01:10:30,532 --> 01:10:32,253 Speaker 2: the skills and doing that because they don't have to 1484 01:10:32,333 --> 01:10:35,012 Speaker 2: do it. Once that happens and everyone's addicted to the platform, 1485 01:10:35,572 --> 01:10:39,053 Speaker 2: then they start commodifying it, and they start charging for you, 1486 01:10:39,253 --> 01:10:42,053 Speaker 2: and they start choking the supply because they're incentivized to 1487 01:10:42,173 --> 01:10:46,613 Speaker 2: not have you find love out there, and so society destroyed, 1488 01:10:47,372 --> 01:10:50,972 Speaker 2: everyone being used as a product. Absolute disaster. 1489 01:10:51,173 --> 01:10:53,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're on the dating app, love to hear 1490 01:10:53,253 --> 01:10:55,932 Speaker 3: your experiences lately.

That's as digital platforms 1517 01:12:03,333 --> 01:12:07,133 Speaker 2: get worse over time. You become the product. First, you're 1518 01:12:07,173 --> 01:12:08,732 Speaker 2: off at a great service, and you come of the 1519 01:12:08,853 --> 01:12:10,372 Speaker 2: product and some. 1520 01:12:10,452 --> 01:12:12,892 Speaker 3: Great texts coming through about the dating apps which are 1521 01:12:12,933 --> 01:12:16,133 Speaker 3: part of this and crapification situation. Yetday guys, I know 1522 01:12:16,293 --> 01:12:17,973 Speaker 3: you may not be a fan of dating apps, but 1523 01:12:18,013 --> 01:12:21,012 Speaker 3: I'm a wedding photographer and nine out of ten wedding 1524 01:12:21,173 --> 01:12:24,012 Speaker 3: Zi photograph are of couples who have met their partner 1525 01:12:24,093 --> 01:12:26,652 Speaker 3: either on Tinder or Hinge and have been very much 1526 01:12:26,692 --> 01:12:29,173 Speaker 3: in love for years. So it does work for many 1527 01:12:29,213 --> 01:12:30,093 Speaker 3: from Whisley. 1528 01:12:29,973 --> 01:12:32,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, But that could also be the bias 1529 01:12:32,253 --> 01:12:33,973 Speaker 2: that you get. I mean, what's that story where you know, 1530 01:12:34,133 --> 01:12:36,093 Speaker 2: where do you put the armor on a plane? You 1531 01:12:36,173 --> 01:12:41,053 Speaker 2: know where the plane's been shot up or where or 1532 01:12:41,173 --> 01:12:43,732 Speaker 2: where they plan well the plane? You know the story, 1533 01:12:43,812 --> 01:12:46,093 Speaker 2: the plane comes back. And the reason why you don't 1534 01:12:46,093 --> 01:12:47,652 Speaker 2: have any ones that have been shot in different places 1535 01:12:47,652 --> 01:12:49,852 Speaker 2: is because those ones went down. Yes, yeah, yeah, So 1536 01:12:50,173 --> 01:12:52,053 Speaker 2: maybe the reason why nine out of ten of your 1537 01:12:52,093 --> 01:12:54,852 Speaker 2: weddings are based on apps is because the apps have 1538 01:12:55,492 --> 01:12:59,452 Speaker 2: so changed the landscape of dating and not for a 1539 01:12:59,492 --> 01:13:01,732 Speaker 2: good thing, that that's the only way people can meet anymore, 1540 01:13:01,772 --> 01:13:03,852 Speaker 2: because people have lost the skills or don't develop the 1541 01:13:03,853 --> 01:13:05,293 Speaker 2: skills to meet people exactly. 1542 01:13:05,412 --> 01:13:06,692 Speaker 3: And we've also been talking about. 1543 01:13:06,572 --> 01:13:08,213 Speaker 2: Some time nineteen nine two. What's the name for the 1544 01:13:08,452 --> 01:13:10,732 Speaker 2: thing I'm trying to talk about the plane example, It's 1545 01:13:10,812 --> 01:13:13,012 Speaker 2: called something confirmation by us. I think it is someone 1546 01:13:13,013 --> 01:13:14,133 Speaker 2: will be nineteen nine to. 1547 01:13:14,093 --> 01:13:17,812 Speaker 3: Two, Warren, you own an airbnb. We have been talking 1548 01:13:17,812 --> 01:13:20,532 Speaker 3: about Airbnb is one of those platforms that some think 1549 01:13:20,572 --> 01:13:21,253 Speaker 3: are degrading. 1550 01:13:21,333 --> 01:13:26,412 Speaker 8: What's your view on it, Well, it's originally positive. I've 1551 01:13:26,452 --> 01:13:29,372 Speaker 8: got two places. One of them was a two bedroom 1552 01:13:29,412 --> 01:13:31,973 Speaker 8: home in it. Now we struggled actually to rent that 1553 01:13:32,093 --> 01:13:34,893 Speaker 8: against people who are just renting out a bedroom, so 1554 01:13:35,253 --> 01:13:37,013 Speaker 8: we've now gone back to just putting it on the 1555 01:13:37,093 --> 01:13:40,572 Speaker 8: general market. But it worked okay while we did it. 1556 01:13:41,893 --> 01:13:44,052 Speaker 8: Now that what the people are saying about the cleaning 1557 01:13:45,013 --> 01:13:48,333 Speaker 8: additional fee, well, my understanding is you can't do that now, 1558 01:13:48,572 --> 01:13:51,532 Speaker 8: and they may They said it in notice and the 1559 01:13:51,612 --> 01:13:54,372 Speaker 8: last time I looked, there was nowhere that you put 1560 01:13:54,452 --> 01:13:57,892 Speaker 8: your cleaning fee in, so I think some people might 1561 01:13:57,933 --> 01:14:01,492 Speaker 8: be working on out of date information. So I know 1562 01:14:01,692 --> 01:14:06,852 Speaker 8: in America you must advertise what is your actual rates 1563 01:14:06,933 --> 01:14:10,012 Speaker 8: for the whole seven days that you're going to book, 1564 01:14:10,612 --> 01:14:16,732 Speaker 8: and that includes the GSP and it does not include 1565 01:14:16,853 --> 01:14:19,732 Speaker 8: necessarily a booking fee. So I think the booking fee 1566 01:14:19,812 --> 01:14:21,892 Speaker 8: can come on later. But I'm not one hundred cents 1567 01:14:21,893 --> 01:14:24,253 Speaker 8: certain about that. But my understanding is that we can't. 1568 01:14:24,532 --> 01:14:26,372 Speaker 8: We used to charge the linen fee. I mean people 1569 01:14:26,452 --> 01:14:29,492 Speaker 8: left the place spotlessly clean. Was just a little one 1570 01:14:29,532 --> 01:14:32,333 Speaker 8: bedroom cottage, but out at a beach place and we 1571 01:14:32,933 --> 01:14:35,372 Speaker 8: have the actual main house that we stay on holiday. 1572 01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,933 Speaker 8: And you know, we've had a great run over the 1573 01:14:39,053 --> 01:14:42,293 Speaker 8: last couple of years and and people are always left 1574 01:14:42,333 --> 01:14:43,732 Speaker 8: it nice and clean in it. But we used to 1575 01:14:43,893 --> 01:14:46,412 Speaker 8: like to have a linen fee because there is a 1576 01:14:46,492 --> 01:14:48,852 Speaker 8: bit of work in them, you know, doing three bed 1577 01:14:49,173 --> 01:14:51,293 Speaker 8: three double beds, a lot of linen and the towels 1578 01:14:51,293 --> 01:14:55,012 Speaker 8: that people using all that. So, but I would actually 1579 01:14:55,093 --> 01:14:57,692 Speaker 8: check to make sure what people are saying about ABB 1580 01:14:57,812 --> 01:15:00,732 Speaker 8: and B is the current thing with the regards to GST. 1581 01:15:01,492 --> 01:15:07,133 Speaker 8: That was something the previous government brought in because it 1582 01:15:07,692 --> 01:15:09,972 Speaker 8: made it un you're on hotels that you could rent 1583 01:15:10,213 --> 01:15:12,612 Speaker 8: a place right next to the hotel and not charge GST. 1584 01:15:13,213 --> 01:15:16,972 Speaker 8: So it's really with your believer in that fair enough. Yeah, 1585 01:15:16,973 --> 01:15:18,973 Speaker 8: And that was an acted in about April of this 1586 01:15:19,173 --> 01:15:22,492 Speaker 8: year because I wanted how our price had suddenly jumped up. 1587 01:15:22,492 --> 01:15:25,852 Speaker 8: I had a nice round figure and it did take 1588 01:15:25,893 --> 01:15:29,452 Speaker 8: me a while to realize what had actually happened. They 1589 01:15:29,492 --> 01:15:32,013 Speaker 8: weren't very good when I tried to get out of him, 1590 01:15:33,492 --> 01:15:36,652 Speaker 8: why I'm not getting the full GST back. The guy 1591 01:15:36,812 --> 01:15:39,452 Speaker 8: who I think was talking from America doesn't seem to 1592 01:15:39,532 --> 01:15:42,732 Speaker 8: understand the text situation, but I said, well, we've got 1593 01:15:42,812 --> 01:15:45,652 Speaker 8: time to sort that out for the financial year next year. 1594 01:15:47,213 --> 01:15:51,412 Speaker 3: So yes, But just on the cleaning fee, Warren, are 1595 01:15:51,452 --> 01:15:54,892 Speaker 3: you saying that it's it's not mandatory anymore, that it's voluntary, 1596 01:15:54,893 --> 01:15:56,692 Speaker 3: because a couple of tacks are coming through on that. 1597 01:15:56,812 --> 01:15:59,053 Speaker 3: And I just looked at Airbnb and the first one 1598 01:15:59,093 --> 01:16:01,253 Speaker 3: that I pulled up does have a cleaning fee on it. 1599 01:16:02,173 --> 01:16:02,612 Speaker 12: Is it right? 1600 01:16:02,732 --> 01:16:07,013 Speaker 8: Okay? Yeah? Well I wasn't a hundred percent certain, but 1601 01:16:07,812 --> 01:16:09,772 Speaker 8: we had we had to remove it off our site, 1602 01:16:10,973 --> 01:16:13,093 Speaker 8: and I thought it was an instruction from them. And 1603 01:16:13,213 --> 01:16:14,892 Speaker 8: recently I looked to see if we're going to add 1604 01:16:16,532 --> 01:16:18,652 Speaker 8: must have that I was looking for a laundry fee, 1605 01:16:18,692 --> 01:16:24,053 Speaker 8: I must admit that, but I didn't. I don't like 1606 01:16:24,093 --> 01:16:26,173 Speaker 8: the idea of a cleaning fee because people just leave 1607 01:16:26,213 --> 01:16:28,852 Speaker 8: the place in the mess and walk out. And most 1608 01:16:28,893 --> 01:16:32,533 Speaker 8: people on a holiday home it's slightly different to overnight accommodation. 1609 01:16:32,652 --> 01:16:35,572 Speaker 8: Stay in a city, you can leave the beds are 1610 01:16:35,612 --> 01:16:37,973 Speaker 8: made and dishes what not done. But when you go 1611 01:16:38,053 --> 01:16:42,293 Speaker 8: and stay in someone's beach cottage, most people like to 1612 01:16:42,372 --> 01:16:44,333 Speaker 8: leave it themselves. They like to leave it nice and 1613 01:16:44,412 --> 01:16:47,412 Speaker 8: tidy and cooling, and so we didn't like calling it 1614 01:16:47,452 --> 01:16:49,812 Speaker 8: a cleaning fee because we just thought that we're just 1615 01:16:49,973 --> 01:16:54,972 Speaker 8: encourage people to to not clean up at all. 1616 01:16:55,372 --> 01:16:57,772 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well, I don't understand why they wouldn't just 1617 01:16:57,853 --> 01:16:59,812 Speaker 3: bed that into the price war And I suppose that's 1618 01:16:59,853 --> 01:17:01,892 Speaker 3: what I have against the Airbnb now that it used 1619 01:17:01,933 --> 01:17:04,652 Speaker 3: to be embedded into the price per night. And now 1620 01:17:04,812 --> 01:17:06,932 Speaker 3: again just this example that I've opened up, and I'm 1621 01:17:06,973 --> 01:17:08,973 Speaker 3: not going to name what it is, but it's nine 1622 01:17:09,053 --> 01:17:10,973 Speaker 3: hundred bucks at night. It's quite a nice place. But 1623 01:17:11,053 --> 01:17:12,652 Speaker 3: then they've got the cleaning fee, then they've got the 1624 01:17:12,732 --> 01:17:15,812 Speaker 3: Airbnb service fee, then they've got the taxes, then they've 1625 01:17:15,853 --> 01:17:19,372 Speaker 3: got the laundry fee. So that's the problem I have. 1626 01:17:19,492 --> 01:17:21,572 Speaker 3: And I get that's not a win for you as 1627 01:17:21,612 --> 01:17:23,333 Speaker 3: a host, that's not a win for a customer, but 1628 01:17:23,412 --> 01:17:26,372 Speaker 3: that's a win for Airbnb m O. 1629 01:17:26,812 --> 01:17:29,253 Speaker 8: The other disadvantage of trying to build into your cost 1630 01:17:29,652 --> 01:17:32,612 Speaker 8: is that if a person spends seven nights at your place, 1631 01:17:32,692 --> 01:17:36,772 Speaker 8: they get one linen fee or one cleaning fee, and 1632 01:17:37,093 --> 01:17:39,333 Speaker 8: then to build it into a one night because often 1633 01:17:39,372 --> 01:17:41,173 Speaker 8: if the person looks at it's costing us one hundred 1634 01:17:41,173 --> 01:17:43,532 Speaker 8: dollars for the cleaning fee. We mustle back, should stay 1635 01:17:43,732 --> 01:17:47,732 Speaker 8: Friday and Saturday. I think that's what some people would think. Yeah, 1636 01:17:48,412 --> 01:17:52,372 Speaker 8: and just to build it in it's a little bit 1637 01:17:52,412 --> 01:17:56,372 Speaker 8: more difficult thing than that. You've got to somehow assess 1638 01:17:58,013 --> 01:18:01,492 Speaker 8: how how what number of days people would do, and 1639 01:18:01,612 --> 01:18:03,612 Speaker 8: then of course you'd have it too high. You'll put 1640 01:18:03,612 --> 01:18:06,333 Speaker 8: the person Offho's booking seven nights or ten nights exactly? 1641 01:18:06,492 --> 01:18:08,732 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, thank you if you call Warren. And what 1642 01:18:08,812 --> 01:18:10,812 Speaker 2: I was looking for. The word was survivor bias. And 1643 01:18:10,853 --> 01:18:12,333 Speaker 2: in case you don't know whether that is, I'll explain 1644 01:18:12,372 --> 01:18:13,053 Speaker 2: what that is next. 1645 01:18:13,572 --> 01:18:17,852 Speaker 3: Yep, it is seven to three, the issues that affect 1646 01:18:17,933 --> 01:18:19,772 Speaker 3: you and a bit of fun along the way. 1647 01:18:20,053 --> 01:18:23,532 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoons You for twenty twenty 1648 01:18:23,572 --> 01:18:26,812 Speaker 1: four news Talk said be it's four to one. 1649 01:18:26,893 --> 01:18:28,813 Speaker 2: So I was talking about the concept of the survivorship 1650 01:18:28,893 --> 01:18:31,932 Speaker 2: bias around a photographer who said that everyone that came 1651 01:18:32,013 --> 01:18:34,452 Speaker 2: in was had found each other on the apps, so 1652 01:18:34,572 --> 01:18:37,732 Speaker 2: survive bas as a logical area of concentrating on entities 1653 01:18:37,812 --> 01:18:40,452 Speaker 2: that passed the selection process while overlooking those that did not. 1654 01:18:40,933 --> 01:18:42,692 Speaker 2: It came about when they were asking where they put 1655 01:18:42,812 --> 01:18:45,133 Speaker 2: armor on planes in World War II. Do you put 1656 01:18:45,173 --> 01:18:48,012 Speaker 2: it on whether bullet holes are or where they weren't. 1657 01:18:48,253 --> 01:18:52,253 Speaker 2: Because the ones where the bullet holes weren't, those people 1658 01:18:52,333 --> 01:18:54,852 Speaker 2: have been hitting the engines, so they had crashed and died, 1659 01:18:54,893 --> 01:18:56,093 Speaker 2: so you never saw the plane again. 1660 01:18:56,293 --> 01:18:56,772 Speaker 3: Interesting. 1661 01:18:56,933 --> 01:18:58,972 Speaker 2: So you could armor up the planes, but you could 1662 01:18:59,013 --> 01:19:00,812 Speaker 2: be shot and the you could armor at the winds, 1663 01:19:00,853 --> 01:19:02,333 Speaker 2: but you'd be shot in the wings, you made at home, 1664 01:19:02,372 --> 01:19:04,293 Speaker 2: shot in the engine, you were done. So that survivor 1665 01:19:04,532 --> 01:19:06,093 Speaker 2: survivorship bias very apt. 1666 01:19:06,213 --> 01:19:07,973 Speaker 3: Well, that was a good discussion, and I think a 1667 01:19:08,013 --> 01:19:11,293 Speaker 3: lot of people are agreeing that the decrapification of these 1668 01:19:11,333 --> 01:19:14,133 Speaker 3: digital platforms is a big thing now more than ever. 1669 01:19:14,293 --> 01:19:18,013 Speaker 3: Right after three o'clock, experiences versus stuff. 1670 01:19:18,213 --> 01:19:20,732 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

Studies 1697 01:20:45,692 --> 01:20:49,693 Speaker 2: show that experiences last longer that should you buy experiences 1698 01:20:49,853 --> 01:20:54,333 Speaker 2: or stuff?

Read from there. A 1709 01:21:26,013 --> 01:21:29,452 Speaker 2: twenty twenty paper called spending on doing promotes more moment 1710 01:21:29,532 --> 01:21:32,492 Speaker 2: to moment happiness than spending on having outlined research conducted 1711 01:21:32,532 --> 01:21:35,092 Speaker 2: by a team led by A Mit Kamer. They split 1712 01:21:35,293 --> 01:21:37,732 Speaker 2: two two thousand and three and thirty five adults into 1713 01:21:37,732 --> 01:21:39,852 Speaker 2: two groups. One group was the material group and the 1714 01:21:39,893 --> 01:21:43,732 Speaker 2: other experimental experiential group. The material group got bought items 1715 01:21:43,772 --> 01:21:46,252 Speaker 2: like furniture Julian clothing. The other group went to restaurants, 1716 01:21:46,253 --> 01:21:49,492 Speaker 2: sports games, and participated in various experiences throughout the state 1717 01:21:49,532 --> 01:21:51,412 Speaker 2: of the receives is randomly texted the people and they 1718 01:21:51,492 --> 01:21:55,492 Speaker 2: found their happiness was higher for the participants who consumed 1719 01:21:55,652 --> 01:22:00,652 Speaker 2: experiential purchases than those who consumed material ones, regardless of 1720 01:22:00,772 --> 01:22:03,973 Speaker 2: the cost of the item. And if this went on, 1721 01:22:04,173 --> 01:22:06,253 Speaker 2: this went on not only at the time they were 1722 01:22:06,293 --> 01:22:08,173 Speaker 2: doing it, so in the first weeks of getting it, 1723 01:22:08,692 --> 01:22:11,133 Speaker 2: but as they checked in over time, because people had 1724 01:22:11,213 --> 01:22:14,293 Speaker 2: memories of the experience. And their conclusion was, if you 1725 01:22:14,333 --> 01:22:16,132 Speaker 2: want to be happier, it might be wise to shift 1726 01:22:16,293 --> 01:22:18,732 Speaker 2: your consumption away from material goods and a bit more 1727 01:22:18,772 --> 01:22:21,812 Speaker 2: towards experiences that would likely lead to greater well being. 1728 01:22:22,133 --> 01:22:25,532 Speaker 2: So the question is, as you buy Christmas presents, should 1729 01:22:25,572 --> 01:22:28,853 Speaker 2: you be buying objects or you should be buying experiences. 1730 01:22:29,372 --> 01:22:34,172 Speaker 2: Trips away could be go karting, it could be visiting 1731 01:22:34,772 --> 01:22:39,293 Speaker 2: rang Toto in Auckland, like I did recently, experiences rather 1732 01:22:39,532 --> 01:22:43,972 Speaker 2: than objects, because we've all got so many objects, and look, 1733 01:22:44,013 --> 01:22:47,133 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people have been disgusted. And look, 1734 01:22:47,173 --> 01:22:50,812 Speaker 2: I know some people can't afford much, but things are 1735 01:22:50,893 --> 01:22:55,372 Speaker 2: so cheap now, you know, junkie plastic toys are so 1736 01:22:55,612 --> 01:22:58,333 Speaker 2: cheap now that you see kids just getting piled up 1737 01:22:58,372 --> 01:23:02,093 Speaker 2: with this rubbish and I don't know if it does 1738 01:23:02,572 --> 01:23:05,973 Speaker 2: that much for them, you know, whereas there's an experience 1739 01:23:06,133 --> 01:23:10,572 Speaker 2: like a trip away, a holiday, camping, anything like that. Yeah, 1740 01:23:11,173 --> 01:23:13,372 Speaker 2: and you were talking before about say a tent for example. 1741 01:23:14,013 --> 01:23:16,213 Speaker 2: A tent is an object that leads to experiences. 1742 01:23:16,333 --> 01:23:16,532 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1743 01:23:16,612 --> 01:23:20,772 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right behind buying experiences for two reasons. One is, 1744 01:23:21,013 --> 01:23:23,772 Speaker 3: quite often the experiences that I buy for summer houses 1745 01:23:23,812 --> 01:23:27,172 Speaker 3: for my partner may so then I get to partake 1746 01:23:27,253 --> 01:23:29,293 Speaker 3: in that experience as well. If you know, I book 1747 01:23:29,333 --> 01:23:32,612 Speaker 3: a week holiday away somewhere nice in New Zealand. Of 1748 01:23:32,692 --> 01:23:34,772 Speaker 3: course it's for two people, so I get to enjoy 1749 01:23:34,853 --> 01:23:37,172 Speaker 3: that experience as well, So it's a little bit selfish 1750 01:23:37,213 --> 01:23:39,333 Speaker 3: of me, but also you know Mave loves it. And 1751 01:23:39,652 --> 01:23:42,572 Speaker 3: the second part is that it goes to a New 1752 01:23:42,612 --> 01:23:45,572 Speaker 3: Zealand business. Quite often, you know, it's supporting New Zealand tourism. 1753 01:23:45,612 --> 01:23:46,333 Speaker 3: I'm patriotic. 1754 01:23:46,492 --> 01:23:49,812 Speaker 2: Well, experience or gift could just be a taking someone 1755 01:23:49,853 --> 01:23:51,852 Speaker 2: out to dinner. So you say, I'm going to take 1756 01:23:51,893 --> 01:23:53,452 Speaker 2: out for dinner and see they're buying you a present, 1757 01:23:53,492 --> 01:23:55,492 Speaker 2: So I wait, hundred eighty ten eighty, what do you 1758 01:23:55,532 --> 01:23:58,652 Speaker 2: think about this?

You could argue that 1859 01:28:28,732 --> 01:28:31,973 Speaker 2: that's the thing, because there are objects that are experiences, right, 1860 01:28:32,173 --> 01:28:36,093 Speaker 2: So if you buy you know, golf clubs or a 1861 01:28:36,213 --> 01:28:40,372 Speaker 2: golf club, and I've certainly got them for for Christmas 1862 01:28:40,452 --> 01:28:45,053 Speaker 2: in the past, they lead to experiences.

You know, you know, your kid might 1867 01:28:53,973 --> 01:28:55,253 Speaker 2: be out of town and then they come back in. 1868 01:28:55,333 --> 01:28:57,093 Speaker 2: You go, you want to play golf, and that is 1869 01:28:57,213 --> 01:28:59,852 Speaker 2: like a little experience walking around a golf shore.

What's your verdict? 2331 01:52:15,452 --> 01:52:17,732 Speaker 26: Oh, look, it's a great it's great to have when 2332 01:52:17,812 --> 01:52:21,412 Speaker 26: once cricket starts. Summer's here and in christ it's thirty degrees, 2333 01:52:21,732 --> 01:52:26,173 Speaker 26: it's boiling hot. Summer is here. Much anticipated match and 2334 01:52:26,333 --> 01:52:28,812 Speaker 26: I'd have to say new Zander on top. One hundred 2335 01:52:28,812 --> 01:52:31,652 Speaker 26: and ninety three for three. We won the last session. 2336 01:52:31,853 --> 01:52:34,173 Speaker 26: Ravendra unlucky to get out. He just had a full 2337 01:52:34,213 --> 01:52:37,852 Speaker 26: toss hit straight to midwicket. But Hagley looks a picture. 2338 01:52:38,492 --> 01:52:40,932 Speaker 26: The English looked like they look very tired. They're getting 2339 01:52:40,933 --> 01:52:43,973 Speaker 26: punished by that northwester. It's hot, it's blowing. 2340 01:52:44,612 --> 01:52:47,333 Speaker 3: So it's looking good for us and kin Williamson's steady. 2341 01:52:47,333 --> 01:52:48,372 Speaker 10: The ship Williams. 2342 01:52:48,452 --> 01:52:50,412 Speaker 2: Beautiful, so is that is. I think this is thirty 2343 01:52:50,492 --> 01:52:52,572 Speaker 2: six to fifty. I mean the averages over fifty, so 2344 01:52:52,652 --> 01:52:54,812 Speaker 2: you expect him to get fifty. And the other reason 2345 01:52:54,812 --> 01:52:56,492 Speaker 2: why he doesn't have that many fifties is because he 2346 01:52:56,532 --> 01:52:59,572 Speaker 2: gets so many hundreds. But did we trick them? Did 2347 01:52:59,612 --> 01:53:01,452 Speaker 2: we trick them? And thinking it was a green seemer 2348 01:53:01,973 --> 01:53:04,572 Speaker 2: because they see the wicket, someone's going out. They're great 2349 01:53:04,612 --> 01:53:06,532 Speaker 2: ground staff down at Hagley Over They've gone out there 2350 01:53:06,532 --> 01:53:09,652 Speaker 2: with some spray paint. They've sprayed at green Bears and Stokes. 2351 01:53:09,692 --> 01:53:11,093 Speaker 2: They shouldn't a bit of their forum for it. 2352 01:53:11,133 --> 01:53:13,253 Speaker 26: They've gone and yeah, they got stucked into the trap 2353 01:53:13,333 --> 01:53:15,213 Speaker 26: ash and the team down there has put a green 2354 01:53:15,293 --> 01:53:18,452 Speaker 26: rinse through the pitch. I think either team, if they'd 2355 01:53:18,452 --> 01:53:19,892 Speaker 26: won the toss, they would have bowled. I think that's 2356 01:53:19,933 --> 01:53:22,972 Speaker 26: what you do at Hagley any season. But unfortunately there's 2357 01:53:23,013 --> 01:53:24,652 Speaker 26: not actually not much in it. There's not much in 2358 01:53:24,732 --> 01:53:25,372 Speaker 26: the in the wicket. 2359 01:53:25,452 --> 01:53:26,452 Speaker 10: And look, this is the. 2360 01:53:26,452 --> 01:53:28,492 Speaker 26: First time in a very long time we haven't had 2361 01:53:28,532 --> 01:53:31,852 Speaker 26: Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson tormenting it. Yeah, so it's 2362 01:53:31,893 --> 01:53:33,452 Speaker 26: actually it's quite it's quite refreshing. 2363 01:53:33,772 --> 01:53:35,732 Speaker 2: Yeah, But is it one of those situations and as 2364 01:53:35,732 --> 01:53:38,213 Speaker 2: a long time black Caps fan, I fail to see 2365 01:53:38,213 --> 01:53:40,812 Speaker 2: the positive side and everything, and I'm immediately going if 2366 01:53:40,853 --> 01:53:42,852 Speaker 2: we're going well, does that just mean England's going to 2367 01:53:42,893 --> 01:53:43,173 Speaker 2: go well? 2368 01:53:43,492 --> 01:53:46,812 Speaker 26: No, Matt Henry, he's our secret weapon the ground. 2369 01:53:46,973 --> 01:53:47,532 Speaker 10: Matt Henry. 2370 01:53:47,572 --> 01:53:51,253 Speaker 26: When he gets that lovely behind going into that with 2371 01:53:51,572 --> 01:53:53,333 Speaker 26: the win behind him, I think he's going to be 2372 01:53:53,572 --> 01:53:55,133 Speaker 26: He's going to be the player to watch when they 2373 01:53:55,213 --> 01:53:55,852 Speaker 26: when they're betting. 2374 01:53:56,093 --> 01:53:59,532 Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben Stokes temperaments he's looking very frustrated over the 2375 01:53:59,612 --> 01:54:00,372 Speaker 3: last couple of hours. 2376 01:54:00,572 --> 01:54:03,293 Speaker 26: Yes, he hasn't bold overly well either.
