1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. It's Heather 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: duper c Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's get 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: connected us talk. 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 2: Said b. 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 3: Afternoon. 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 4: Welcome to the show coming up today. Matt Doucy, the 7 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 4: Tourism Minister, on the tourist levee being hiked to one 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 4: hundred bucks. That's up three times. Simon Bridges the Auckland 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 4: Chamber of Commerce on the fact that liquidations are up 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 4: nearly twenty percent year on year and Auckland's particularly hard hit. 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 4: And Sir Ian Taylor on what on earth he wants 12 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 4: to do with that waterfront museum. 13 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 5: Heather dupic Allen. 14 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 4: So today the government has done exactly the thing that 15 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 4: the tourism industry was hoping that they wouldn't do, and 16 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 4: they've increased the visitor levee, which is the amount that 17 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 4: tourists pay to come here, and it's going from thirty 18 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 4: five bucks to one hundred bucks, which is the high 19 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 4: end of what they were considering. I mean, the government 20 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 4: could have gone fifty bucks, could have gone seventy bucks. 21 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 4: In fact, they could have just have left it at 22 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 4: thirty five bucks if they wanted to, but they went 23 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 4: full noise to one. Now, in principle, I'm on board 24 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 4: with this. I've long thought and it's not you know, 25 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 4: I'm not alone in thinking this. I think a lot 26 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 4: of us think this, that tourists need to pay a 27 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 4: little bit more for the stuff that they're using here, 28 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 4: because if they're not paying more for it, we're paying 29 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 4: for it for them, right, We're subsidizing them. I mean, 30 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 4: how long have we talked about those poor punters who 31 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 4: live in Queenstown who have to pay for the roads 32 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 4: that the tourists jam up. They pay for the water 33 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 4: infrastructure that tourism gets to use so tourists have a 34 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 4: nice time. They pay for the public toilets that the 35 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 4: tourists use. The list goes on, right, and it's not 36 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 4: fair on ratepayers in Queenstown and frankly anywhere else in 37 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 4: this country where tourists like to go, who are essentially 38 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 4: subsidizing an industry. But while I'm on board with this 39 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 4: in principle, I really think the timing is massively often 40 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 4: this is the wrong time to be doing this. For 41 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 4: some reason, tourists are not coming back to New Zealand 42 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 4: like we thought that they would five years on from COVID, 43 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 4: and I'm counting it from COVID really starting back in 44 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, five years on, our tourism industry numbers are 45 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: only back to about eighty percent, So where we used 46 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 4: to have five, we've only got four. We do not 47 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 4: know when they're going to get back to one hundred percent. 48 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 4: We can't say Australia knows, but they're going to be 49 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 4: there in three months time. But for some reason we're lagging. 50 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 4: It appears our attractiveness as a tourism destination has deteriorated, 51 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 4: and it's perplexing even the experts can't quite put their 52 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 4: finger on why people don't want to come to New 53 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 4: Zealand quite in the same numbers. And part of the 54 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 4: problem is China is not flying like it used to. 55 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 4: And the other problem will likely be that this is 56 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: not in the future at least that this is not 57 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 4: the only cost that the government has lumped on tourists. 58 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 4: I mean it just last month it increased the cost 59 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 4: of tourists getting a visa to come here. So now 60 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 4: you're talking about people in places like China, if they 61 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: were to bring a family of five costing two two 62 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 4: hundred dollars just for the paperwork before they even get here, 63 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 4: before they even jump on the plane, and they've already 64 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 4: shelled out twy two hundred dollars. I don't think making 65 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 4: New Zealand more expensive right now while we're struggling to 66 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 4: recover is a smart idea, especially because we really need 67 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 4: to recover. We are in our third recession in two years. 68 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 4: We need the money. Frankly, this feels like a short 69 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 4: sighted money grabbed by the government. They're trying to balance 70 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 4: the government's box and it's shortsighted because it's going to yes, today, 71 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: make the government's books look better, but it's not going 72 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 4: to bring in the tourists tomorrow and that hurts us 73 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: all in the end. So yes on principle, but timing 74 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 4: is way off. Heather do for is the text number, 75 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: standard text fees apply and as I say, Matt Doocy 76 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 4: is with us on that after five o'clock now an 77 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: increasing number of couples are ending their marriages later in life. 78 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 4: So it turns out, according to stats New Zealand data, 79 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 4: almost forty percent of divorces are involving people who are 80 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 4: fifty years plus. Divorce lawyer at Shortland Chambers, Jeremy Sutton. 81 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 6: Is with us now, he Jeremy, how are you doing? 82 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 6: I may say it best in chambers? 83 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: Oh? 84 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 7: Sorry, which which chambers are best? 85 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 6: In chambers? Chamber, it's in the same boarding. 86 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 4: We'll say it as many times as we can, Jeremy, 87 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: to undo the damage we've just done. So Bastian Chambers, 88 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 4: thank you for that listening. You're seeing this as well 89 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 4: as you seeing older people getting divorces. 90 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we are, because once the last child has 91 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 6: left home, that's often a catalyst hither to see if 92 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 6: I've got the same interest or not. And one party 93 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 6: is often wanting to continue working in some way so 94 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 6: as a consultant, while the other party is happy to 95 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 6: do other things, maybe travel, will maybe spend time with family. 96 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 97 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 4: Is it also sometimes that the last kid leaves and 98 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 4: then you're stuck looking at that person. You're like, oh, 99 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 4: I stopped liking you ages ago. 100 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 6: Well, it certainly means you've got to spend more time together, 101 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 6: you know. It just it's tough, but it's a reality. 102 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 6: I mean for a lot of people, perhaps they saying, 103 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 6: well the house is too big now either, you know, 104 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 6: we've got to downside to an apartment and often with 105 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 6: house prices over the years being good and hev saves 106 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 6: as well. People have have often got enough money to 107 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 6: have one house each. They can go alone, they can 108 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 6: be independent. And the other thing is technology makes it 109 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 6: easy for people, doesn't It makes it easy to book travel, 110 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 6: makes it easy to meet someone else. So that's a 111 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 6: factor as well. I think it's just more life is 112 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 6: more flexible, but probably more difficult. 113 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 4: Jeremy. I saw somebody saying today that women are often 114 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 4: the initiators of this divorce when you're in the fifty 115 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 4: plus category, are you seeing that. 116 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 6: Well, they probably are, but it's not necessarily because of 117 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 6: an affair. It's often that they just, you know, they've 118 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 6: got the confidence to be able to do something you 119 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 6: know now and perhaps go overseas that they couldn't do before. 120 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 4: I don't want to be too unkind to men, but 121 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 4: how much of it is also because women carry the 122 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: mental load and the emotional load in a relationship and 123 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: they just get a little bit naffed off. And by 124 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 4: the time you're in your fifties, like you actually have 125 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 4: had the chance to grow up and you know, clean 126 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: the bathroom after yourself, you just get tired of it. 127 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: Is it possibly that. 128 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 6: There could be an aspect of that perhaps have had 129 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 6: the traditional roles in the relationship. Yeah, and you've thought 130 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 6: that people might change and they haven't changed, and they 131 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 6: just want to, you know, do something different, which women 132 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 6: now really are more able to, aren't they. They've got that, 133 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 6: you know, they've got that. They've got that ability perhaps 134 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 6: to you know, work work part time, to travel to 135 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 6: see other family members, to see children. Yeah, and perhaps 136 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 6: some of them have just had enough of what's happened 137 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 6: during all those times. I mean the average marriage is 138 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 6: about fifteen years, all the late about fifteen years, so 139 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 6: you know that means that people were in their sort 140 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 6: of mid to late forties onwards. We see a lot 141 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 6: of people who are in their fifties and sixties. Yeah, 142 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 6: and they, you know, they have just on different paths. 143 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 6: I mean, for example, you can go on your Airbnb now, 144 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 6: can't you are here that you know, you can go 145 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 6: to New York for a month now on an Airbnb. 146 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 6: You couldn't do that before. So there are just these 147 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 6: tools that you have to enable you to travel. And 148 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 6: we live longer than we lived before. I mean, people 149 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 6: are living much much longer. So they've just got those 150 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 6: those tools to be able to do that. 151 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting stuff, Jeremy, thank you very much. Lucrative business 152 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: for you. I'd imagine Jeremy Sutton of Bastian Chambers, divorce 153 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 4: lawyer there. I can't tell you the number of there's 154 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: a lot of stories in the UK papers at the moment. 155 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 4: They've obviously picked up on it. And I can't tell you 156 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 4: the number of stories I'm reading in the UK papers 157 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 4: about women who like, yeah, I got a divorce, that 158 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 4: was Arthur, and the number of them who say things 159 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: like I just had one too many fights about the 160 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 4: dishwasher and I thought I don't need to spend my 161 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 4: life having a fight about the dishwasher. Like, listen, guys, 162 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 4: listen to me. You want to keep that marriage, do 163 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 4: your fair share, and when you think you're doing your 164 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: fair share, do more because you're still not. You think 165 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 4: you are, but you're not, and I'll tell you are. 166 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 4: It grinds a woman down after a while, like grinds 167 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: a woman down.

Somebody has this is Louise's got a theory. 340 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 4: My guess is it's the natural wearing out of the 341 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 4: Peter Jackson phenomenon. We need a block another blockbuster scenery movie. 342 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, maybe, I mean you might be onto something 343 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 4: because we did milk that for about twenty years. It 344 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 4: was pretty good for us. Matt Deucy's going to be 345 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 4: with us after five o'clock explained why he's putting up 346 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,359 Speaker 4: the money now of the cost of coming here now. Liquidations, 347 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 4: by the way, just an indication of how much we 348 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 4: actually need the tourists because the economy is stuffed. Liquidations 349 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 4: are up nineteen percent year on year. This is according 350 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 4: to data out from Centrix. They are up across most regions, 351 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 4: but really the place that's been the hardest hatter is 352 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 4: Auckland and really spiked for Auckland between April and June 353 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 4: this year. So hopefully that means that if it's spiked 354 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 4: then that hopefully it's not so bad now fingers crossed. 355 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 4: I'm not convincing even myself, frankly, we'll have a chat 356 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 4: to Simon Bridges, the Auckland Business Chamber of CEO's ten 357 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 4: plus five. And also also if you've been wondering, because 358 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 4: we'll be talking a fair bit on the show about 359 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 4: how long the kiddy should be on the devices and stuff. 360 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 4: We've talked about the fact that they shouldn't be and 361 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 4: that there's be limits, but what is the limit? I've 362 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 4: got I've got some tips for you. Actually will deal 363 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 4: with it in this half hour. It's twenty four away 364 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 4: from five. 365 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 5: It's the world wires on news talks, it'd be drive. 366 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 4: George Clooney has praised Joe Biden for following his advice 367 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 4: and stepping down after one term. Clooney was a major 368 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 4: donor to the Democratic Party and he was obviously the 369 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 4: guy who wrote that old head in The New York 370 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 4: Times calling on Biden to drop out at the election. 371 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 4: George was asked about it at a press conference at 372 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 4: the Venice Film Festival. 373 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 11: The person who should be applied is the president who 374 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 11: did the most selfless thing that anybody's done since George Washington. 375 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 11: And that's true, and so anybody. All the machinations that 376 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 11: guard us there, none of that's going to be remembered, 377 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 11: and it shouldn't be. 378 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 4: The Aussie federal government is reportedly pushing ahead with plans 379 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 4: to restrict gambling advertising. Sky News political editor Andrew Klannell 380 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 4: has the Scoop. 381 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 12: There would be a partial ban on TV gambling advertising 382 00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 12: within two years, and an almost immediate online gambling ban 383 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 12: in terms of ads on social media and the like, 384 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 12: under the gambling reforms set to be taken to federal Cabinet. 385 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 4: And finally, yeah, do you remember that four year old 386 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 4: who accidentally smashed the three thy, five hundred year old 387 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 4: jar at a museum in Israel. Well, the museum has 388 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 4: rewarded him, has invited him and his siblings and his 389 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 4: parents and for a special visit. They were all shown 390 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 4: all of the advanced tech that experts are using to 391 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 4: restore the jar, and the museum thinks it will all 392 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 4: be fixed up in just a matter of weeks. 393 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind 394 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 395 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 4: Sam Emriosi correspondents with US Sam. Hello, so the current 396 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 4: account deficit's got a bit worseing. 397 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think I heard it described as just a 398 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 13: very faint heartbeat. The economy is always something that the 399 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 13: Coalition loves to tell voters that labor has struggled to 400 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 13: manage it in previous governments, but of course also in 401 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 13: this current government. Treasurer Jin Charmers has again emphasized their 402 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 13: economic figures due out tomorrow. You know, they're showing soft growth. 403 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 13: Analysts are tipping the numbers could be below one percent, 404 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 13: which would be the weakest to have since late twenty twenty. 405 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 13: The opposition says the government only seem to blame and 406 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 13: attack the Reserve Bank for the economy, and you know, 407 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 13: not often do we all come out and agree with 408 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 13: the opposition in government. But to be honest, we haven't 409 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 13: heard much more from Jim Charmers. He says it's not 410 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 13: new language and shouldn't be controversial for the Treasurer to 411 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 13: say these things, you know about global uncertainty and higher 412 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 13: interest rates, price pressures that we're all dealing with, but 413 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 13: we haven't heard anything else since they've been in government. 414 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 13: And I think it's fair to say that Australians, especially, 415 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 13: you know, knowing that we are really starting to enter 416 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 13: that sort of pre election pre campaign, if you could 417 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 13: call it that, we just want to start hearing some policies, 418 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 13: some action, some change. 419 00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 14: You know, how are we. 420 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 13: Actually going to rather than I think we all fairly 421 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 13: well understand now about what pressures are on our economy 422 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 13: and why we're finding it so much harder. 423 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 4: Samson, talk to me about this gambling ad ban. Can 424 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 4: they actually ban online ads? 425 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 14: Well, they can certainly put a restriction on it. 426 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 13: They can certainly put it's almost like a geo fence 427 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 13: or a geo lock on these types of things, so 428 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 13: it will be extremely hard to police, I believe, Heather, 429 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 13: but they can put these bands in place. It was 430 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 13: interesting hearing Andrew Clenell there obviously with the latest on 431 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 13: it in terms of the fact that it could almost 432 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 13: be an immediate ban with these online gambling ads, but 433 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 13: also the fact that they've sort of come a bit 434 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 13: clearer now in terms of what's going to happen on 435 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 13: the more regular. 436 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 14: Mainstay broadcasting like TV. Advertising. Part of the issue for those. 437 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 13: Sorts of things are obviously previously signed contracts, you know, 438 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,959 Speaker 13: that still have one, two three years left in them 439 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 13: that need to be paid out, so that the government's 440 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 13: using that as a reason as to why we weren't 441 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 13: necessarily see them disappear on the lights of TV and radio. 442 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 13: But I mean it's sort of similar to the smoking bands, 443 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 13: and you know, one day maybe in the alcohol bands 444 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 13: that we might see follow suit where you know, it's 445 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 13: just strange that these type this type of advertising is 446 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 13: still so free. 447 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 14: And easy to access for all ages, whether you're online 448 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 14: or offline. 449 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 13: I think in this day and age, it's strange that 450 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 13: it's still so free and easier for coming from a 451 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 13: country like Australia that has spent so much money into things. 452 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 13: You know, one of the first countries in the world 453 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 13: to bring in that playing packaging cigarettes and you know 454 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 13: those I think most people sort of thought this is 455 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 13: just a waste of money and time. 456 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 14: But next thing, you know, we have a generation of. 457 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 13: Kids who weren't smoking and actually hadn't been addicted to nicotine. 458 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 14: Now they've got the weight problem to deal with on 459 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 14: that side of things. 460 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 13: So you know, we are our worst enemy in these 461 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 13: sort of situations because we need the money. What's needed 462 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 13: money The broadcast people need the money from these advertising. 463 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 14: But there's got to be a better way to do it. 464 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 4: How long were these people up the mountain? 465 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 14: Too long? 466 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 13: And as the Premier of Tasmania said, why do we 467 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 13: have to save people from stupidity? Which I thought was 468 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 13: an interesting way for a premier to come out and 469 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 13: say it. But they were up there overnight. They two 470 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 13: separate groups. Wasn't just one group, please say? The first 471 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 13: group of thirteen called about half us four yesterday afternoon 472 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 13: and council. 473 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 14: Staff actually helping them rescue. 474 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 13: As they were coming back down, they noticed another group 475 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 13: of people around eleven hundred feet were still on the mountain. 476 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 13: Apparently heather it was minus three, but it felt like 477 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 13: minus twenty two at that time. And it was a 478 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 13: weird rescue where it was local government sees and local 479 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 13: communities who had to come and save these people. And 480 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 13: the premier has come out again and said we cannot 481 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 13: afford to have any resources to verted simply because of people. 482 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 4: Stupid Sam, it's good to talk to you, mate, thank 483 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 4: you so much. Look after yourself that Sam Emory Australia corresponds. Okay, 484 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 4: so here we go. This is how long the kiddy 485 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 4: should be on the devices? 486 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 15: Right. 487 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: The Swedish health authorities have for the first time ever 488 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 4: put out of guidance for how long the kids should 489 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 4: be spending on these devices. They reckon if your child 490 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 4: is under two, no screens whatsoever. They should not be 491 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 4: exposed to screens at all. If the child is between 492 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 4: two and five years old, so in that two to 493 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 4: going school category, they should be limited to a maximum 494 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 4: of one hour, which frankly I think is generous. So 495 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 4: I would be going I don't know why. Maybe my 496 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 4: friend said this to me one time and now I 497 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 4: believe it. But I would have thought forty forty five minutes. 498 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 4: It's kind of what you want to be aiming at. 499 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 4: But anyway, apparently you've got an hour. If they are 500 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 4: between six years old and twelve years old, the limit 501 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 4: is two hours. Thirteen years old to the end of 502 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 4: school the limit is three hours. Now that is massively 503 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 4: down on what kids in Sweden are doing them. Some 504 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 4: teenagers are apparently seven spending up to seven hours day 505 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 4: on the screen, which completely bonkers. Some nine to twelve 506 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 4: year olds are spending four hours a day on the screen. 507 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 4: And they also say, and this is obviously every parent 508 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 4: knows this. Once they're on the screen, they have to 509 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 4: talk to you, and you have to talk to them 510 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 4: about what it is that they're looking at. Because looking 511 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 4: at the screen is one problem. Looking at porn on 512 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: the screen is a whole level of something else that 513 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 4: you're dealing with. 514 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: Barry Soapers next, politics with centrics credit, check your customers 515 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: and get payments certainty. 516 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 4: Barrising your political correspondence with us, Barry, Hello, good afternoon, Heather. 517 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 4: Hiking the tourism levy is clearly just a money grab 518 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 4: to make the books balance a little bit better. 519 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 9: Right, Well, it's incredible, isn't it. Well it shouldn't be, 520 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 9: because the levey goes towards they tell us, maintaining public 521 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 9: services are utilized by tourists, and you know conservation. 522 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 4: The tracks and LOEU of given doc more money. 523 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 9: Yes, yes, so essentially those at the pit face of 524 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 9: tourism in this country. The chief executive of the tourism 525 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 9: industry said that modeling had found the increase could result 526 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 9: in forty eight thousand fewer tourists coming to this country. 527 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 9: The board, the Airline Board of Representatives, they say that 528 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 9: tourism basically is soft in this country and we're lagging 529 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 9: behind the Asia Pacific region. So it's all about I 530 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 9: understand like you here, they said, you're editorial. I understand 531 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 9: the levee going up because I think tourists should be 532 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 9: paying a bit more, although I did look at some 533 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 9: countries overseas. If you take the UK, for example, the 534 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 9: levee to enter the UK is ten pound and that 535 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 9: lasts for two years. If you come back you don't 536 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 9: have to pay it again. 537 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 4: And ours is one hundred. 538 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 9: And don't forget that we're a departure tax as well 539 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 9: from this country, so you pay for the privilege of 540 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 9: leaving the country. That's been on the box for a 541 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 9: long time. That's only twenty five bucks. But nevertheless, it 542 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 9: is another cost that goes on to tourists, usually though 543 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 9: through the is so you don't notice that one as much, 544 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 9: but it's still there. 545 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 4: How much of a bollocking did Judy give Shane? 546 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 9: You imagine sitting across the table from Shane Jones and saying, look, Shane, 547 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 9: you shouldn't have said that. It's not the sort of 548 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 9: thing that we. 549 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 4: Would If I imagine this between Judith Collins and Shane Jones, 550 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 4: which frankly I do enjoy imagining, I feel like I 551 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 4: feel like she is one of the few people that 552 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 4: he would sit down and take it from. 553 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 9: I don't know though. I mean, Judith Collins has got 554 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 9: a very good sense of humor as well, and. 555 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 4: You know, be a little scary. 556 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 9: She can't be scary. But when you look at Justice 557 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 9: Sheryl glynnon the High Court Judge Sits and Wellington, she 558 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 9: was a member of a communist organization in her youth, 559 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 9: in the young days, and that's probably common to many 560 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 9: of us that you know, we had different leanings to 561 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 9: what we may have to do something you need to 562 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 9: tell us, well, I was probably much more left wing 563 00:26:59,280 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 9: than I am today. 564 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 10: But there you go. 565 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 9: But Shane Jones, it's his sixty fifth birthday today, so 566 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 9: you can wish him happy birthday. He said when he 567 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 9: was talking about the apology, he said, I can thank 568 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 9: Winston Peters for the gold card. So there was a 569 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 9: bit of politics in there, and he said he was 570 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 9: a bit more circumspect when it came to the judge. 571 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 9: He said he was born under the moon, so maybe 572 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 9: he was howling at it, which was one way of 573 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 9: sort of talking around it. But it was a contrite 574 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 9: Jones who says he's now been schooled by Judith Collins 575 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 9: and he accepts it. 576 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 2: I can't walk it back. I said it. 577 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 16: I think what the Attorney General reminded me, because I'm 578 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 16: a fairly voluble character. Is there everything that's recorded said 579 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 16: by a minister in formal meetings as a reflection on 580 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 16: cabinet and she wants to see an improvement. 581 00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 9: Well, we'll see. We'll see Jonesy being much more low 582 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 9: key in the house not. And then his boss, Winston Peters, 583 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 9: though he was a little less contritor, might say, even 584 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 9: though he agreed Colins had to have a word with 585 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 9: his voluble minister, Judith is right. 586 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 17: But then Shane, he was talking about someone's past when 587 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 17: they were young, when they belonged to a communist organization. 588 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 17: You know, the question is is that a private to 589 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 17: a line against someone who at a certain age is 590 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 17: more mature, and whether that is an answerable question or not, 591 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 17: it should not have been said in trade had decide 592 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 17: with Judith in that matter. It's got said to say, 593 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 17: and I know how frustrating it is, but frankly, the 594 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 17: separation between the courts and politext is a critical part 595 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 17: to our democracy. 596 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 9: It is the key to ware democracy. Separation between the 597 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 9: judiciary and it's true and the Parliament. 598 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 4: Now the Greens are pretty upset with Simon about what 599 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 4: he said about the speed bumps right because he said 600 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 4: that he was defunding speed bumps hallelujah to the tune 601 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 4: of twelve million bucks, based on the fact that he 602 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 4: got of twenty four and they cost five hundred sow 603 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 4: each exactly, and that's a little that's a little sneaky for. 604 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 9: A it it's stretching. 605 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 4: There are two that cost that much, but the rest 606 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 4: of them are considerably cheaper. 607 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 9: There was a project in Auckland's grain that cost four 608 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 9: hundred and ninety thousand dollars for essentially a speed bump, 609 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 9: but it was traffic management. 610 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 5: That it doesn't matter. 611 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. 612 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 9: That's not it costs well, yes it is, but it's 613 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 9: not the building of the actual bump itself. It was 614 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 9: co funded though by Auckland Transport, which is the rate 615 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 9: power of Auckland and the Transport Agency. The other bumps 616 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 9: that have been put in place, they are estimated to 617 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 9: cost around nineteen to thirty one thousand dollars each. Now 618 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 9: the Transport Agency they provided a list of thirty two 619 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 9: speed bumps that had been canceled under this government, but 620 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 9: they didn't say what the cost was. Unfortunately, spokesman Brown 621 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 9: they couldn't give any evidence of the savings, but they 622 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 9: stood by the minister's statement. Honestly, I think stretching a 623 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 9: point that same in can do. 624 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 4: No wrong because he is golden balls golden. 625 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 9: I think he was described this morning by one of 626 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 9: Mike Hostcars. 627 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 4: That would be because because I mentioned it on their 628 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 4: last night, because a caucus, as somebody had told me, 629 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 4: that's isn't it caucus? How good is that? 630 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 15: Hey? 631 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 4: Thank you, Barry. I appreciated this barrier so persing.

The local board had six hundred thousand 649 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 4: dollars to spend on raised crossings and they were trying 650 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 4: to decide which two crossings to install. Two These were 651 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 4: just on regular north shore roads and they could only 652 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 4: afford two crossings with six hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, there 653 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 4: you go, there's your problem. Oh Lord, here we go. 654 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, this tests my patients.

I mean, seriously, 656 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 4: who thought this is an idea that's come from Sir 657 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 4: Bob Harvey and Sir Ian Taylor. They've decided that we 658 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 4: basically need to go for the equivalent the Auckland equivalent 659 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 4: of the Sydney Opera House. Who on what planet thought? 660 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 4: M Yeah, we just can't get a waterfront stadium across 661 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 4: the line. But I know what people are gonna love more, 662 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 4: a waterfront museum. 663 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: Who thought that? 664 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 21: Have you? 665 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 4: Do you realize it's New Zealand, like the cure is 666 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 4: like way down there. We're rugby over culture every single day. 667 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 4: I don't know, like and and the right payer has 668 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 4: to pay for it. Yeah, and the right pay has 669 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 4: to pay for It's another stupid idea. But anyway, we're 670 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 4: going to talk to Ian Taylor about it. I'm not 671 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,719 Speaker 4: going to hide for feelings on it. I'm just going 672 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 4: to be completely honest with him. This is just a 673 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 4: dumb idea wasting everybody's time. But anyway, we'll give him 674 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 4: an opportunity. We'll give him an opportunity to defend it 675 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 4: before we totally just come rain down on it, you know, 676 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 4: and really just spoil the party for him, not that 677 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 4: he cares what I think. If he's going to come 678 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 4: up with dumb ideas like this, I've got some fantastic 679 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 4: news for you, because jeez, we needs how good is 680 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 4: the weather?

It's just sort 689 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 4: of flabby arms, but anyway in mine. So that's the 690 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 4: first piece of good news is springers here people. Second 691 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 4: piece of good news SPQR has got new owners. So 692 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 4: if you are in Auckland and you are a lovey 693 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 4: and you just miss having your emos on on Ponsby 694 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 4: Road in the sun, you're gonna have the chance. The 695 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 4: guys who run hop As a Garden Bar on Ponziby 696 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 4: Road and also Almo's on Ponsiby Road, they are taking 697 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 4: it over. How good is that? 698 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 699 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: get the answers by the facts and give the analysis 700 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: together due to see Alan Drive with One New Zealand. 701 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: Let's get connected a news talk. 702 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 4: As they'd be afternoon. International tourists will have to pay 703 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 4: one hundred bucks to enter the country from next month. 704 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 4: The government's announced today. It is more than tripling the 705 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 4: international visitor levy, which was previously thirty five dollars. The 706 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 4: tourism industry is really disappointed by the move. And Matt 707 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 4: Doosey is the Minister for Tourism and Hospitality, Hammatt Hi 708 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 4: Heather mad are you sure this is a good idea? 709 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 22: Yeah, we want to grow value of international tourism. We 710 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 22: want to support conservation. We've heard loud and clear from 711 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 22: the public consultation ninety three percent of over eleven hundred 712 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 22: submitters wanted the international visitor levy to increase, and two 713 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 22: thirds of them wanted it to increase to one hundred dollars. 714 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 22: When you think about that one hundred dollars, that is 715 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 22: only around two percent of what an international tourists will 716 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 22: spend on their trip. It's comparative to Australia and the 717 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 22: United Kingdom. And we want to support tourism and conservation 718 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 22: through this levee. 719 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 4: And so what about when you because you guys have 720 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 4: just put up the visit of vis visit of visa 721 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 4: cost as well. When you chuck that together, where do 722 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 4: we sit in terms of where other countries will compare 723 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 4: ourselves to. 724 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 22: Well, when you look at the international visitor levy, around 725 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 22: sixty percent of international tourists pay that Australia and Pacific 726 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 22: Island visitors. 727 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's not what I'm asking you. So what 728 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 4: I'm saying is just last month you put up the 729 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 4: visit the visa costs as well, right, So check the 730 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 4: two of them together, the visit of visa costs plus 731 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 4: the IVL and how competitive are we now internationally? 732 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 22: Well, when you look at the increase of Erica Stanford, 733 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 22: the Immigration Minister's visitor visas, that was for a smaller 734 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 22: group of countries because most countries visiting New Zealand are 735 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 22: visa waiver. What we want to do is shift some 736 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 22: of the costs from the taxpayer to the tourists. When 737 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 22: you look at the advice that I've received, there is 738 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 22: no evidence that the increase will significantly impact on tourism numbers. 739 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 22: In fact, I'm around the country most weeks either and 740 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 22: most tourists operators are telling me that they're getting a 741 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 22: higher yield from their product. And they're actually delivering a 742 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 22: higher quality experience. So we want to grow tourism. The 743 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 22: government's got an ambitious target to double exports. 744 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 2: Tourism is a big. 745 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 22: Part of that, and I want to grow the value 746 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 22: of international tourism with social license. 747 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 4: So it looks to me like if you're paying the 748 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 4: IVL plus the visit of visa, right, and you got 749 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 4: a family of five, you're paying twenty two hundred bucks 750 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 4: before you even land in the country. Would Canada charge that, 751 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 4: would Australia charge it? 752 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 2: Or is it just us? 753 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 22: Well, there is a range of prices that people pay 754 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 22: when they travel to a range of countries. Ultimately people 755 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 22: will make that choice. We are a premium destination. 756 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 4: Increasingly, but at least so, And this is why what 757 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 4: I'm trying to get to, Matt, is that we are 758 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 4: losing our attractiveness. According to Forsyth, bar as a destination. Right, 759 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 4: So if increasingly people do not really want to come here, 760 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 4: is it the right thing to do to make it 761 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 4: more expensive? 762 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 22: Well, I would disagree with that assumption and the framing. 763 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 22: No evidence that the officials provided show there would be 764 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 22: a significant impact on tourism numbers. And like I say, 765 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 22: When I talk to the tourism operators, they are telling 766 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 22: me that they are getting a high yielding product. We 767 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 22: want to grow international tourism. I've set tourism an ambitious target. 768 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 22: I've growing by five billion dollars over the next format. 769 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 4: Tell me what is our internet, What is our recovery 770 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 4: looking like? Post COVID? Where are we sitting in terms 771 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 4: of tourism in terms of where we were pre COVID? 772 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,919 Speaker 22: When you look at tourism numbers, we're at around eighty two. 773 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 4: Percent, okay, And where's Australia. 774 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 22: Are there about eighty four or eighty five percent? 775 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 4: They will be fully recovered by the end of the year. 776 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 4: When are we fully recovered? 777 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 22: But what we're seeing heather when you go around the country. 778 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 22: If you look at the hawks, baos and recently when 779 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 22: you look at the value of international tourism, they're forty 780 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 22: percent above twenty nineteen levels. West coast of the South 781 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 22: Island they're about fifteen. 782 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 4: Are you saying the people coming over now we have 783 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 4: fewer of them, but they're spending more. 784 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 22: That's right. That's why tourism operators are saying they're having 785 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 22: a higher yield from their product and delivering a higher 786 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 22: quality product as well. We are seeing a lot of 787 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 22: growth coming out of the Chinese market. I think the 788 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 22: figures I saw in the last twelve months because they 789 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 22: were slow to return, increased by three hundred and forty percent. 790 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 22: And what we're also seeing is less of the low 791 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 22: value bus travelers, more of the higher value independent Chinese market, 792 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 22: which our tourism operators are responding to. And that's why 793 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 22: I say that ultimately this levy will be reinvested into 794 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 22: both tourism pressures but also the conservation estates which a 795 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 22: large part of people travel to New Zealand four, so 796 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 22: we'll be delivering a better product. 797 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 4: Matt, thank you for you to I'm really appreciate it. 798 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 4: That's Matt Doocy, Minister for Tourism and Hospitality. Heather duper 799 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 4: see Allen liquidations are up nineteen percent year on year 800 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 4: according to new data from Centric SO, liquidations are rising 801 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 4: across most of the regions. In Auckland, spiite sharply in 802 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 4: the second quarter of this year. Auckland Business Chamber CEO 803 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 4: Simon Bridges is with us. Now, hey, Simon, Hey get 804 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 4: a Heather. Does that mean Auckland has been the hardest hit. 805 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 2: Oh, I think it probably does. 806 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 23: And I think you know what's very interesting to me 807 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 23: and talking of some liquid etters about this day is 808 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 23: just a massive sea sawing actually from my ID so 809 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 23: from hugely lenient letting everything go in COVID probably the 810 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 23: staunchest enforcement around gstnpay areas that we've seen the very 811 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 23: long time. It's but like the that the rpn z's 812 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 23: ocr story if you like, very like very dubbish, then. 813 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 2: Hugely hawkish and start doing this at the start of 814 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 2: this year. 815 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 23: Is the feedback and the clear majority of the liquidations 816 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 23: are by our ird. If you want to contrast it 817 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 23: with receiverships where you're talking about you know, fundamentally banks 818 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 23: and finance companies, it's not it's a non statutory process. Really, 819 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 23: they've been much more pragmatic. And consequently the numbers that 820 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 23: we're seeing and know where near as many, and I 821 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 23: suppose the banks are saying, well, actually, if we can, 822 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 23: if we can hold off doing this and the business survives, 823 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 23: I'd rather have seventy percent of something than destroy the 824 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 23: value of the company. So I think there is that 825 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 23: there's a bit of a question here. Do we need 826 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 23: to see us somewhat more pragmatic ird rather than this 827 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 23: massive sea sawing. 828 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 4: What do you put that down to, is this Nikola 829 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 4: Willis telling them to chase the tax dollars. 830 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 23: Well, funnily enough, I was with her today and we're 831 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 23: talking to business and taking the pulse. I don't think 832 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 23: so this came up at a level. I think it's 833 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 23: probably a movement from COVID settings where they kind of 834 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 23: like the RBNZ ed say, realized they overdid it one 835 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 23: way and they're coming back and hard the other way. 836 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 23: But I think my message would be, you know what, 837 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 23: actually take a bit of pragmatism here a business that 838 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,399 Speaker 23: over time has earned a few more dollars then it's 839 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 23: spent as a business worth having in New Zealand and 840 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 23: it's been tough, but they can come back and they 841 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,720 Speaker 23: can be productive businesses in Auckland and around New Zealand. 842 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 4: Really interesting take on that, Simon.

Apparently, what if Auckland had its very 895 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 4: own waterfront museum. Sir Ian Taylor of Animation Research and 896 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 4: former White Taketi mayor Sir Bob Harvey are calling for 897 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 4: a Walker shaped museum and exhibition center to be built 898 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 4: on Winyard Point. They reckon they could do the equivalent, 899 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 4: the Auckland equivalent of the Sydney Opera House. Sir Ian 900 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 4: Taylor's with us now, Hi, Enn, Hi, how are you? 901 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 2: Yeah? Good? 902 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 4: Thank you? Who's paying? 903 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 15: Yeah? 904 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,800 Speaker 21: See everybody starts with their question, yeah, so I start 905 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 21: with I'll just start with another one. So this first 906 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 21: of all, isn't my idea. It's an idea that has 907 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 21: has that that really interested me coming from Dunedin. As 908 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 21: I looked at it and the and the story it 909 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 21: was telling. So in all the projects we do, and 910 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 21: I guess it'll be fair to say I have a 911 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 21: we do have a track record here of. 912 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 15: Getting things done. I always start with what. 913 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 21: If, and it's kind of like, what if that was 914 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,360 Speaker 21: already there on that point it was a world class 915 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 21: facility telling this story. Would it make money? We start with, 916 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 21: I think what the people behind this? The reason I've 917 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 21: stepped up is because I just wanted at least to 918 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 21: come into the conversation. Because conversations happened, and you know somebody, 919 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 21: then I know there's someone else. Put a stadium there, 920 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 21: someone wants to make it a park, someone wants to 921 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 21: do something else. I really really saw a strength in 922 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 21: this that I just felt needed to be brought to 923 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 21: the surface and discussed. And one of the important discussions 924 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,320 Speaker 21: around that will be how does it get paid for? 925 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 21: I think if we saw that, people actually thought, actually, 926 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 21: that's a really good idea. The next phase is the 927 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 21: full budgeting of it, and then you would never do 928 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 21: it unless it made commercial sense. I'll give you two examples. 929 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 21: One while watch Kai Kuda Wally, Tom Wally Wally came 930 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 21: to us, The CEO came to us that and he 931 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 21: had this idea and he didn't have it. He said, 932 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 21: don't give me a budget. I'm going to assume you 933 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 21: deliver everything you said you could deliver. I'm going to 934 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 21: price our tickets on the basis of that. And on 935 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 21: the basis of that. He came back and said, here's 936 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 21: your budget, and it was twice as much, twice more 937 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 21: than we need it. And I think that's the exercise. 938 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 21: If this doesn't make financial sense and people can't make 939 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 21: money out of it, you. 940 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 15: Don't do it. 941 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,280 Speaker 21: Who pays well, it could be a range of anybody. 942 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 21: It could be it could be an EWI, it could 943 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 21: be a fully commercial operation. It could be you know, 944 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 21: and that there are examples all over the place where 945 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 21: that works, so commercially it has to work. 946 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,439 Speaker 15: We shouldn't be asking one thing we want. 947 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 21: Well, one thing the group is talking about is it's 948 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,959 Speaker 21: important not to rely on the government for money. 949 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 4: That's a great starting point there, Ian, thank you very much. 950 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,919 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's where everybody's going to start. 951 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 4: So Ian Taylor, Animation re Search Managing Director, five twenty two. 952 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: The name you trust to get the answers you need 953 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: and a duple C Allen Drive with one New Zealand. 954 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,720 Speaker 5: Let's get connected a news talk as. 955 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 4: They'd be Heather, what if sir Ian rejoined the real world? 956 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 4: Hither We already have a waterfront museum. It's called the 957 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 4: Maritime Museum. Let's make that profitable first. That's from Deborah, 958 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Five twenty five. Can't I couldn't 959 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 4: even better ask any more questions? I don't know if 960 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 4: you pick that up. I was like, got to stop 961 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,240 Speaker 4: this nonsense. How long did we spend discussing a waterfront stadium? 962 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,359 Speaker 4: It just sucked the life out of us. That life 963 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 4: is still not there to be able to sustain this 964 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 4: conversation as well. Five twenty five On to happier things. 965 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 4: I reckon that My favorite part of Samian Brown's three 966 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 4: year transport plan that was announced yesterday was the fact 967 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 4: that he has defunded those speed bumps. How good is that? 968 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 4: What he said is no more taxpayer money, not a cent, 969 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 4: no more going to speed bumps. Every bump has got 970 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 4: to be completely funded by the local council. If they 971 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 4: want them, they've got to pay for them, which is 972 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 4: going to put pressure on the local councils. By the way, 973 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,399 Speaker 4: because these things don't come cheap. Now. Speed bumps feel 974 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 4: to me like the new cycle ways in terms of 975 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 4: this culture war, do you know what I mean? What's 976 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 4: happened here is much the same problem as with the 977 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,720 Speaker 4: cycle ways, not in and of themselves a bad idea 978 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,279 Speaker 4: at all. I mean, if you've got to slow down 979 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 4: the cars around a school, which is fair enough, then 980 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 4: a speed bump's a great idea. If you've got to 981 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 4: protect a cyclist from fast moving traffic right next to them, 982 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 4: then a cycle way is a great idea. But what's 983 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 4: gone wrong is that councils appear to be obsessed with 984 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 4: doing the most expensive version of both of these things, 985 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:37,400 Speaker 4: and somehow, magically, against everyone's better judgment, councils even managed 986 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 4: to find a way to make a bump in the 987 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 4: road enormously expensive. I mean, there was the one in 988 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 4: Great Lynn and Auckland that cost half a million dollars, 989 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 4: most of that because of the traffic management yets, but 990 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 4: half a million dollars the one in three Kings in 991 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 4: Auckland that was laid, then ripped up and then laid 992 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,439 Speaker 4: again within about a year and a half or something 993 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 4: like that, at the cost of six hundred thousand dollars. 994 00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,439 Speaker 4: Then there were the ones in Wellington that they haven't 995 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 4: built yet. But this is the subject of the council 996 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 4: walk out the other day. Five of them in the 997 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 4: space of one point seven k's that will cost one 998 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty thousand dollars each. That is the problem 999 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 4: with the speed bumps. That is why a few people 1000 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 4: are furious about them, because what should just be a 1001 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 4: simple job of pouring a lump of tar seal on 1002 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 4: the road and then kind of smoothing it out and 1003 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 4: making it a bit round, has become a massive engineering 1004 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,280 Speaker 4: feat which costs the same as building a house somewhere 1005 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 4: down country. Very few people are going to be upset 1006 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,360 Speaker 4: about this with Sime and Brown councils will be on 1007 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 4: notice as well, because now every single speed bump that 1008 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 4: you see popping up in your local area will be 1009 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 4: ordered and pay for out of your rate payer dollars. 1010 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,879 Speaker 4: And it's coming from the very councils who are jacking 1011 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 4: up your rates by huge amounts at the moment. So 1012 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 4: every single speed bump from here on in has got 1013 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 4: to be justified. I'd say ever do for Sea Ellen 1014 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,720 Speaker 4: Heather Matt Durcy definitely not the Golden Balls minister should 1015 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 4: stop referring to product. He sounds like a twenty four 1016 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 4: year old NBA grad. Thank you, Rachel. He's probably not 1017 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 4: the Golden Balls minister. A I reckon, now that we're 1018 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,800 Speaker 4: back on that sub jet Simeon and Erica, what do 1019 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 4: you think? I reckon Simeon. Simeon is obviously the guy, 1020 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:10,320 Speaker 4: but I reckon I would also extend the epithet to Erica. 1021 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 4: I don't know how she feels about that particular genderization 1022 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 4: of her talent, but I reckon she's a golden Bulls 1023 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 4: minister too. Sorry for scouting about the rain where the 1024 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,440 Speaker 4: apparently it's raining everywhere. Headline's next on. 1025 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: Your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in your 1026 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,320 Speaker 1: car on your drive home. Heather duper c Allen drive 1027 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: with One New Zealand, let's get connected and news talk 1028 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 1: as they'd be. 1029 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 4: After six o'clock, we'd have Hipt Miles Hurrel of Fonterra. 1030 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 4: He's actually overseas with the Prime Minister at the moment, 1031 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 4: and apparently the Southeast Asians just love the uh t 1032 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 4: cream that Fonterra is doing. So he's announced that they're 1033 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,439 Speaker 4: going to open a new cream factory in Edendale. Great 1034 00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 4: news for Southland. One hundred and fifty million bucks going 1035 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 4: in there. So he'll explain it to us when he's 1036 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 4: with us shortly. Apparently they're swopping out their coconut milk 1037 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 4: put in the uht and in instead, which is obviously 1038 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 4: the traditional way of doing it. So anyway, we'll get 1039 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 4: the latest. The Huddle is standing by hither. I know 1040 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 4: where there are some speed bumps in Auckland that want 1041 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 4: to be relocated if another council wants them. I'm on 1042 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 4: board with that. I'm happy to help. 1043 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:18,800 Speaker 2: Them with that. 1044 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 4: I just if they could just just pay their relocation 1045 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 4: costs of that speed bump, given that we've probably sunk 1046 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 4: a lot of money into it by now as well, 1047 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 4: six hundred thousand or so. So yeah, that's a great idea, 1048 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 4: thanks mate. Twenty three away from six now, there is 1049 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 4: a realistic possibility of a terrorist attack in New Zealand, 1050 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 4: and the most likely way that it could happen is 1051 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,360 Speaker 4: a lone actor. That's according to the latest security assessment 1052 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 4: by our Intelligence Services. Andrew Hampton is the Director General 1053 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 4: at the SIS Hey Andrew hi hever is the possibility 1054 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 4: of a terrorist attack like this more or less likely 1055 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 4: than it was last year. 1056 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 19: It is consistent with last year's assessment, which is there 1057 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 19: is a realistic possibility of a a terrorist event, but 1058 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 19: the threaten environment continues to evolve, and one of the 1059 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 19: things that has changed over the last year is the 1060 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,720 Speaker 19: increased prominence of what we call people with mixed unclear 1061 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:19,399 Speaker 19: ones stablider ideologies or motivations. So these are people who 1062 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 19: often young, radicalized online, fixated with violence. They may not 1063 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 19: have strong affiliations to a particular ideology, but they're looking 1064 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 19: for something to justify under taking a violent act. 1065 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,760 Speaker 4: Right, And these kinds of people are very hard to stop, 1066 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,240 Speaker 4: aren't they because they act by themselves. 1067 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 19: Well, fortunately, you know, we're talking about only a very 1068 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,399 Speaker 19: small number of individuals who we know about, who we're 1069 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 19: concerned about, and we're keeping an eye on them. But yes, 1070 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 19: you're you're right. The risk with a self radicalized individual, 1071 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 19: they're likely to be acting alone. There won't necessarily be 1072 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 19: much intelligence warning, and they'll use capabilities that are readily 1073 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 19: at hand, such as knives or vehicles. That's one of 1074 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,360 Speaker 19: the reasons why we've put this threat assessment out so 1075 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 19: that the public know what the signs of someone who 1076 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:18,719 Speaker 19: may be on that mobilization pathway looks like and so 1077 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 19: they can spot those signs and then place. There's a 1078 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 19: range of range of things to look at, and we 1079 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 19: released a couple of years ago a report specifically on that. 1080 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:38,400 Speaker 19: But part of it is people's online behavior. Part of 1081 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 19: it is individuals may be looking at their own security, 1082 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 19: you know, how they obscure what they're doing. Sometimes it 1083 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,200 Speaker 19: may be radical changes and behavior from people. It may 1084 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 19: be about how they espouse particular ideology. So there are 1085 00:52:56,239 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 19: a range of things to look for. The key message 1086 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 19: we want to get across is if you know, within 1087 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 19: your community, even within your family, you're concerned about someone 1088 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,520 Speaker 19: because they may be engaging with extremist material. They may 1089 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 19: be talking about wanting to undertake some sort of act, 1090 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 19: they may be seeking to associate with people online. Of 1091 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 19: concern that you know, you do, you do raise that 1092 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 19: with us or with the police. You know, and in 1093 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 19: many cases, in most cases, you know, people who exhibit 1094 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,359 Speaker 19: online behaviors don't end up taking undertaking a real world act, 1095 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 19: but sometimes they do. 1096 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 4: On the spying, the report says that you guys busted 1097 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 4: a unit gathering info for a Foreign Intelligence Service and 1098 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 4: then you send a message to them to stop. Did 1099 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 4: they stop? 1100 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 19: They definitely took notice. What what we try and do 1101 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:59,320 Speaker 19: is make very clear to those countries that are undertaking 1102 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,400 Speaker 19: that type of active that we know what they're up to, 1103 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,839 Speaker 19: that we are monitoring them, and that it is said, 1104 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,320 Speaker 19: it may not be a legal activity, but it is 1105 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 19: activity that's inconsistent with our values and our national interest 1106 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 19: and for them to cease doing it, and it should 1107 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:23,759 Speaker 19: expect they don't like that very much. Sometimes though, it 1108 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,359 Speaker 19: just leads to them trying to, you know, obscure their 1109 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,239 Speaker 19: their activities more. But in that particular case, yes, they 1110 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:32,840 Speaker 19: took notice. 1111 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,160 Speaker 4: Andrew, thank you. I really appreciate you having a chat 1112 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 4: with us. Andrew Hopton, Director General of the SIS. It's 1113 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 4: coming up nineteen away. 1114 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: From six the Huddle with New Zealand Southerby's International Realty 1115 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 1: Exceptional marketing for every property on the Huddle. 1116 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 4: This evening got David Farracuria Polster and KII blog and 1117 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 4: Allie Jones read pr Halo guys Maheather David, is it 1118 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 4: normal for our spies to warn the other spies that 1119 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:56,800 Speaker 4: we busted them spying? 1120 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 2: It is quite normal? Would be my assumption. 1121 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 4: I feel like spycraft though, does it. 1122 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 24: No, But it's sort of like you had save a 1123 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,799 Speaker 24: lot of time and bother if you just say, look, 1124 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 24: we're on to you, we know what you're doing, rather 1125 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 24: than have to keep monitoring it, they'll go away. 1126 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 4: But they'll just try harder to hide themselves, won't. 1127 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,840 Speaker 2: They that they will, etc. 1128 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 24: But it's not the sort of activity where, well, if 1129 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 24: you had found out you know, there was a secret 1130 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 24: agent who was stealing secrets, that's not just something you'd 1131 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 24: say we know about all right. 1132 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 2: But this is like having front groups et trying to 1133 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:37,359 Speaker 2: stir things up. 1134 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 4: Okay, allie, how do you feel about this? 1135 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 3: In freaking I think yet it doesn't. 1136 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 2: No. 1137 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:43,839 Speaker 3: I think there are two different things here. 1138 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,800 Speaker 20: Firstly, there's that that spying and that infiltration that we 1139 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,120 Speaker 20: heard a bit about there. And then I think they're 1140 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 20: those lunatics that try and promote ideologies, and in christ Church, 1141 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 20: of course we're well aware of that after the terrible, 1142 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 20: tragic mosque shootings some years ago. But I also, you know, 1143 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,720 Speaker 20: and I don't want to make light of this because 1144 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 20: that was tragic and it could happen again. But I 1145 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,239 Speaker 20: find this really quite bizarre. I mean I watch a 1146 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,720 Speaker 20: lot of Netflix, I watch a lot of streaming stuff 1147 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 20: on spies, and I think we are very relaxed in 1148 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:15,320 Speaker 20: New Zealand. 1149 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 3: But I just can't imagine spies here. 1150 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 2: Can you. 1151 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 3: I mean, it makes me think of Wellington paranormal. 1152 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:25,239 Speaker 4: It just seems bizarre, it does, I mean, David, I mean, 1153 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 4: Allie makes a really good point, right because we had 1154 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 4: a couple of spies in Parliament. We kicked them out. 1155 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 4: They're not very good at it, are they. 1156 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 6: Well. 1157 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:36,240 Speaker 24: The thing is we don't off probably since the seventies eighties, 1158 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 24: do we have yo like you see on Netflix the Americans, 1159 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 24: the deep undercover spies. Probably not, because our military defense 1160 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 24: secrets aren't really that important. But what we definitely have 1161 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,000 Speaker 24: is influence operations. We see and yeah, our name one 1162 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 24: of People's Republic of China puts many millions of dollars 1163 00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 24: into Confucius Institutes, into funding through universities to try. 1164 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,800 Speaker 2: And get their view of the world normalized. 1165 00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 24: In New Zealan, I think there is the bigger issue 1166 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 24: that we need to be concerned about that you've got 1167 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 24: these influence operations rather than traditional spot David. 1168 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 4: Okay, explain to me why I should be worried about 1169 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 4: that because I look at that and think, Okay, it's 1170 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 4: an idea. You're pitching an idea at me. You're putting 1171 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 4: a lot of money into an idea. I'm not scared 1172 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 4: of your idea. I want to understand your idea. It 1173 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 4: doesn't feel to me particularly nefarious, should it. 1174 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 24: Well, the furious part is when it comes that he 1175 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 24: who has the gold you know, the golden role. And 1176 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 24: what you've then had is that universities start to self 1177 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,440 Speaker 24: censor for they don't want to lose the funding. They 1178 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 24: have certain areas demmed off topic. 1179 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 2: You've had protest benners removed from. 1180 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 24: Campus because they were worried they might upset the government 1181 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 24: of China. That's when it becomes a real problem of 1182 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 24: the fundings, no strings attached, fine, but the funding of courses. 1183 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is the mayli where there's money. If you 1184 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 4: step out of line and you lose the money, oh. 1185 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 20: Yeah absolutely, And as we know, you just follow the money. 1186 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 20: You just look at some of the money that's being 1187 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,640 Speaker 20: spent in the Pacific at the moment. We're in Fiji 1188 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 20: a couple of years ago, and there's some amazing stuff 1189 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 20: happening there, and it's all funded by the People's Republic 1190 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 20: of China. 1191 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,080 Speaker 3: So and we know that we're in a great position 1192 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 3: here in the Pacific. 1193 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 20: There are country is very interested in getting a hold on, 1194 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 20: you know, in the Pacific here, and that would be 1195 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 20: the main reason. But I still can't get past that 1196 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,960 Speaker 20: almost comic idea of you know, get smart or it 1197 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:32,920 Speaker 20: just seems bizarre. 1198 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,240 Speaker 3: In a country like New Zealand, it just seems weird. 1199 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, hey guys, we'll take a break and come back, 1200 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:38,040 Speaker 4: and just the ticket's called to two. 1201 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's international Realty, unparalleled reach 1202 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: and results. 1203 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 4: Back of the Huddle, Alie Jones and David Farrah Ali, 1204 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,200 Speaker 4: what do you think about this tourism levy going up? 1205 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 4: And are you worried about it putting the tourists off? 1206 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,520 Speaker 3: No, not worried about it putting the two. The only 1207 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 3: tourists I am concerned about it putting. 1208 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 15: Off is the. 1209 00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:58,959 Speaker 20: I was going to say lowest spending. They actually don't 1210 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,360 Speaker 20: spend less when you add it up, because they stay longer. 1211 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 20: But I'm talking about the backpackers. The backpackers and the 1212 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 20: self contained cheap car travelers come here Now two things, 1213 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,800 Speaker 20: As I said, they stay here longer, so they spend 1214 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 20: less per day, but they stay here longer so they 1215 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 20: spend well. And also they come back when they're older 1216 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 20: and they spend more then, and they bring their kids. 1217 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 4: I think I think it's definitely Alie. This thing is 1218 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 4: kind of slightly geared towards getting rid of them. 1219 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 20: Well, I think that's a shame, and I don't you know, 1220 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 20: they're not looking at their own stats. 1221 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 3: If that's the case. I think overall it's a good idea. 1222 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,600 Speaker 20: You know, when we were in Europe recently, you pay 1223 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 20: anything from two bucks to ten bucks a night on 1224 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 20: top of what you're paying for accommodation, and that's the 1225 00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 20: tax there. 1226 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,000 Speaker 3: We paid forty eight. 1227 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 20: Dollars for a three hour layover going through the US. 1228 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 3: So you know, I do think we've charged too little 1229 00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:45,600 Speaker 3: in New Zealand. 1230 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:46,920 Speaker 20: But I would hate to think that we're going to 1231 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:51,040 Speaker 20: lose those longest staying backpacker tourists. 1232 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 4: David, I reckon this is going to prove to be 1233 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 4: popular amongst the public because we are sick of them 1234 00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 4: kind of being subsidized at US having to subsidize it. 1235 00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 4: But I just wonder if the timing's a bit off. 1236 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:02,360 Speaker 5: It will be popular. 1237 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 24: People always like taxes, and effectively it's a tax that 1238 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 24: someone else pays. 1239 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 2: This is from a popularity point of view. No one 1240 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,680 Speaker 2: who votes in New Zealand will have to pay this tax. 1241 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 2: Where it's a bit cumbers a lot. 1242 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 24: I understand the need that you have to have infrastructure 1243 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 24: funded for, and you know GST might not be enough, 1244 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,880 Speaker 24: but just one hundred dollars per airport entry seems a 1245 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 24: bit of like someone who comes here for a one 1246 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 24: day conference will pay the same as someone who spends 1247 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 24: three weeks traveling around, touristing through New Zealand, etc. You know, 1248 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 24: an actual bed tax would probably make a bit more 1249 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 24: sense than just this flat one hundred dollar levy. 1250 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1251 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,800 Speaker 4: Actually, somebody on the text has said exactly that, David 1252 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 4: so great minds thinker like that. Now, Ellie, tell me something, 1253 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 4: because you're over fifty, aren't you? 1254 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:53,280 Speaker 2: Yes? 1255 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 4: Hey, are you people getting divorced? 1256 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:55,880 Speaker 2: Oh? 1257 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 3: Look, there are a lot of us getting divorced. I'm guessing. 1258 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 20: I'm I think we probably get to an age where 1259 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,439 Speaker 20: we know what we want and what we don't want, 1260 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 20: you know, and we go right bugger it. And also 1261 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 20: I think society has changed and we can do it. 1262 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,880 Speaker 20: It seems so common now and so normal. I think 1263 01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 20: also women are more financially independent than they have been, 1264 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 20: although less than the. 1265 01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,919 Speaker 3: Key we say, because we stopped working for a while 1266 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:18,560 Speaker 3: to have kids. 1267 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 20: We like to travel. He likes to stay at home 1268 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 20: and watch the tally. You know, there are things like 1269 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 20: that happening too. But I think it's got to do 1270 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 20: with with women just going no, actually I want this 1271 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:30,640 Speaker 20: and I'm going to do this. 1272 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 3: And good on them. 1273 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, David, are you over fifty? 1274 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 2: I am, and as you know, God, yes, So I 1275 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:38,960 Speaker 2: wanted my decisions. 1276 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:40,160 Speaker 3: What was it, David? 1277 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 11: Was it? 1278 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 4: Did you stop? Do we just start doing the dishwasher properly? 1279 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,919 Speaker 2: I think they have been part of a could will 1280 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 2: be part of it. 1281 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 24: But I think most people in their fifties, I've got 1282 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,840 Speaker 24: younger kids, you know, the kids have got adults. I 1283 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 24: have since my safrage, I've talked to a lot of friends, 1284 01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,440 Speaker 24: and the yes is that we're in our relationship. 1285 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 2: I may so many of them. 1286 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 24: Have said R and ds too, that you do get frustrated, 1287 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,480 Speaker 24: that tensions do build up. Now obviously, some people work 1288 01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 24: through them, some don't. But the number one I have 1289 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 24: take for it is you have to keep working really 1290 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 24: hard at a relationship. You can't just say, yep, we're 1291 01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 24: now in this comfortable routine, etc. 1292 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 2: There because they all have these tensions and stresses that 1293 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 2: build up. 1294 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 4: David, do you reckon because your kidd's young? Do you 1295 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 4: reckon that the tension? I mean like it's exacerbated by 1296 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 4: having kids, right, because young kids, especially under five, are 1297 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 4: really tough to have around. 1298 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 2: Oh oh, absolutely. 1299 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,919 Speaker 24: The real challenge when you have young kids is having 1300 01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 24: enough time for you and your partner. 1301 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, partners, not just parents. 1302 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,400 Speaker 24: And I'm sure so many families have gone through this, 1303 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 24: and some do it better than others. 1304 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 15: But it has. 1305 01:02:56,560 --> 01:03:00,280 Speaker 24: Absolutely a challenge because when you do get a bit time, 1306 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 24: years just want to. 1307 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:03,080 Speaker 2: Go to sleep. 1308 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 20: Yeah, but a big part of that as well as 1309 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,280 Speaker 20: don't forget you know, some of us are having all 1310 01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 20: some of us had kids much older, so parents are older, 1311 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,280 Speaker 20: parents of parents are older. So you know, in the 1312 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 20: days when we used to rely on our parents to 1313 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 20: help out, that's not happening so much anymore either. So yes, 1314 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,280 Speaker 20: it does add stress, but it's great when they go. 1315 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,959 Speaker 3: It's good when they leave the charm and I think, yes, yea, Ellie, 1316 01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:26,960 Speaker 3: you know parents. 1317 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 4: Ellie, you'll tell us to two people who are like 1318 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:30,680 Speaker 4: decades away from that. 1319 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 5: Mate. 1320 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,400 Speaker 20: Yeah, we'll just keep looking.

Paul, thank you. Now you might be right, Paul, 1342 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 4: But I'm starting to develop an alternative theory here, which 1343 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,440 Speaker 4: is that there are a lot of people over fifty 1344 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 4: who have got youngest kids like David, and maybe that's 1345 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:47,800 Speaker 4: adding to the skew of it as well, because the 1346 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:49,680 Speaker 4: numbers are going up. So maybe you got a lot 1347 01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 4: of pressure later in life for parents and stuff like that. 1348 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 4: But then maybe it's the menopause. Menopause is a real 1349 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 4: thing that that causes people to go women to go 1350 01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,640 Speaker 4: completely nut, so doesn't it. And then also you know 1351 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,440 Speaker 4: that you're remove out and now you're stuck looking at 1352 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,920 Speaker 4: each other and you're thinking, ah, so you're the one 1353 01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 4: who wasn't doing the dishwasher. 1354 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 7: All of that, all of the above, well, maybe if 1355 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,320 Speaker 7: your husband is constantly naghing you about your menopause and 1356 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 7: making jokes about your menopause, that might not help either. 1357 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 4: Listen, ants, let me tell you something about menopause and 1358 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,960 Speaker 4: hormones and a woman. Nothing helps. So you could literally 1359 01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 4: be sitting there breathing ants and I would divorce you 1360 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:20,200 Speaker 4: over it. Do you know what I mean? 1361 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 6: Okay, I'll call the lawys. 1362 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:22,720 Speaker 4: That's okay, Yeah, you get ready. 1363 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:23,880 Speaker 10: What are you doing? 1364 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:25,959 Speaker 4: It's trying to end it already, is like call the lawyers, 1365 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:27,880 Speaker 4: put the music up. Off we go, Hey, before we go? 1366 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,920 Speaker 4: Before off we go. I'm fascinated by how this business 1367 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,600 Speaker 4: is going to work with the king's coronation now that 1368 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 4: King t Hazia has passed away. Not because I think 1369 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 4: it's a particularly powerful position or anything like that. Like 1370 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 4: I'm not hyping I'm not hyping myself over it. But 1371 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,360 Speaker 4: I'm here for the drama. I am here for the drama. 1372 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 4: So it's going to be announced on Thursday, maybe even tomorrow. 1373 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 4: It's a group of twelve people who are going to decide. 1374 01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,680 Speaker 4: They called the Coomara Urua, which just basically means twelve, 1375 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 4: and it was set up by King Tarfeel in the 1376 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 4: nineteenth century because he'd become a Christian thrice like literally, 1377 01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,919 Speaker 4: he'd been baptized three times, and he loved the number 1378 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 4: twelve because you know, Jesus had twelve disciples, so why 1379 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:03,919 Speaker 4: shouldn't he, So he set up a group of twelve 1380 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 4: to help him run the situation. Once they're appointed, they 1381 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 4: hold the position until they die. There are some people, 1382 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 4: you know, in the group of twelve, Shay Wilson, the 1383 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 4: former president of the Maori Party, Penny here Nare of 1384 01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,880 Speaker 4: Labor and old mate on our Hardawada is in there now. 1385 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 4: The expectation is that generally the eldest child of the 1386 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:27,439 Speaker 4: king succeeds, but unfortunately they've had a falling out, haven't 1387 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 4: they over him marrying the wrong bird? And then the 1388 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,040 Speaker 4: second son has had a bit of trouble with the law. 1389 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,640 Speaker 4: So the daughter is the one who looks most likely 1390 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 4: to take it. But then some of the ear we 1391 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 4: have said that I don't want any of the children, 1392 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:40,640 Speaker 4: So all of a sudden you've got a curveball like 1393 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 4: nanayah maybe, And I am here for this drama, like 1394 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,760 Speaker 4: there's nothing I love more than a bit of royal drama, 1395 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,919 Speaker 4: whether it's Harry over in the UK or what's going 1396 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,160 Speaker 4: on here.

Why do they like the UHTA cream so much? 1414 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean it's been a grown market for us 1415 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 25: for quite some time, mainly on the back of China 1416 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 25: for the last a decade or so. But you know, 1417 01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,480 Speaker 25: we're reaching to a point where our capacity and the 1418 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 25: wakados are are filling up and so we need to 1419 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:54,880 Speaker 25: invest more so south it's the right thing for us. 1420 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:55,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1421 01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 4: And so what's going on here?

We're 1428 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,519 Speaker 25: starting to see our products going to those categories now, 1429 01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 25: which which is great because of course that's what the 1430 01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 25: traditional people in Malaysia and the like are eating. 1431 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 2: So it opens up a new market for us. 1432 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 4: Is there as much demand in places like that as 1433 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:27,599 Speaker 4: there is in China? 1434 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 2: I mean it's off a lower base clearly. 1435 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,600 Speaker 25: I mean the China story has been going as a 1436 01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 25: safe sort of five to ten years now, so it 1437 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,040 Speaker 25: is growing. It's sort of double digit in some in 1438 01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:39,040 Speaker 25: some categories for us. 1439 01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:40,360 Speaker 6: So we are to see it. 1440 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,080 Speaker 25: And being in Malaysia this week, you know, to see 1441 01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 25: at first ham and hear from our customers and partners. 1442 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 2: You know, it's a great market for us. 1443 01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,599 Speaker 4: And is this a case of you guys hunting out 1444 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,600 Speaker 4: alternative markets in order to diversify away from China or 1445 01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:52,599 Speaker 4: are they hunting you out? 1446 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,519 Speaker 25: Well, it's a combination of both. I mean we've always 1447 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 25: been in the Southeast Asia market, you know, sort of 1448 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 25: for fifty odd years in in Malaysia, and you know, 1449 01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:04,720 Speaker 25: it's it's just an opportunity for us to sort of 1450 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 25: grow beyond the China's market. So you know, it's an 1451 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 25: end story for us. 1452 01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:09,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good move. Okay. 1453 01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,639 Speaker 25: So why Edendale, Well there's a bit of surplus cream 1454 01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:15,840 Speaker 25: in that in that area. You know, most of our 1455 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 25: cream capacity in the North is field at at Whiteta. 1456 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,160 Speaker 25: So this is an opportunity to sort of turn what 1457 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 25: maybe you perceived as a sort of a commodity end 1458 01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:23,680 Speaker 25: of the cycle for some of the cream that we 1459 01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 25: had down there and put it into this area. And 1460 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 25: of course, you know, opening up to seventy year old 1461 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 25: new jobs in the area well received as well. I'm 1462 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:32,400 Speaker 25: sure by that by the region. 1463 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 4: Oh, i'd imagine. So yeah, any concerns it all about 1464 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 4: actually finding. 1465 01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,920 Speaker 25: The workforce, No, I don't think so. I mean we've 1466 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,040 Speaker 25: got pretty strong relationships with the unions and as a 1467 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 25: result it get you know, some pretty good talent comes 1468 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 25: through through the pipeline, so I know we're not concerned 1469 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,439 Speaker 25: about that. You know, we've got a strong pipeline of 1470 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 25: people coming through right across the country and miles. 1471 01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 4: You know, you're doing this at a time when we 1472 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 4: are talking about so many businesses just being unable to 1473 01:09:58,120 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 4: cope with the power prices and it being part of 1474 01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,200 Speaker 4: the reason why they're talking about shutting down. Is that 1475 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:03,240 Speaker 4: a concern for you at all? 1476 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 25: Well, if anything, it sort of reinforces the need to 1477 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:08,800 Speaker 25: continue to add value because on one side, you know, 1478 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,000 Speaker 25: your costs continue to go up and you're under pressure, 1479 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 25: so you've got to look for new markets and new 1480 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,120 Speaker 25: avenues to grow you grow the top line. So you know, 1481 01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,719 Speaker 25: if anything, it sort of pushes us into that space. 1482 01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:20,759 Speaker 25: But we are conscious that you know, the New Zealand 1483 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:22,640 Speaker 25: and the world is not in a great space right now, 1484 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,639 Speaker 25: but you know there's confidence for us and in both 1485 01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,720 Speaker 25: the New Zealand market and in globally. And you know, 1486 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:32,439 Speaker 25: couple this with our announcement last week and start around 1487 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:33,360 Speaker 25: our ingredients business. 1488 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,640 Speaker 2: You know, it shows that that the industry is in 1489 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 2: good shape. And and Fonterra it was also a good joke. 1490 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:38,680 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1491 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 4: Do you think the power thing is going to resolve itself? 1492 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,120 Speaker 25: I think so these things over time have have habit 1493 01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 25: of working themselves out. The markets will sort of, you know, 1494 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,880 Speaker 25: get back to an equilibrium. But but there's a bit 1495 01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 25: of pain on the way through, as we can all see. 1496 01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:53,800 Speaker 25: And it's you know, at least it's it's front and 1497 01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,639 Speaker 25: center now with those and Power and Wellington, so hopefully 1498 01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,680 Speaker 25: they can they can see some change coming through. 1499 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,519 Speaker 2: But but you know, it's a stress for the industry, 1500 01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:02,920 Speaker 2: no question, Miles. 1501 01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:03,760 Speaker 4: How's the trip going? 1502 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 26: You're going? 1503 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 25: Well, you know, the Promeinise has been out there sort 1504 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 25: of way in the new New Zealand flag.

I love it got a little bit of 1513 01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,200 Speaker 4: an understanding, like slightly more clarity, not a lot, but 1514 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,160 Speaker 4: slightly more clarity about why that Deval receivership report is 1515 01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,360 Speaker 4: still secret. The receivership report, by the way, will outline 1516 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,160 Speaker 4: who is owed, what how much money? And so this 1517 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 4: is what So it is reasonably important that this has 1518 01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 4: made public. It's been to the High Court. In the 1519 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,160 Speaker 4: High Court, lawyers for Duval were arguing it shouldn't be 1520 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,800 Speaker 4: made public. Media outlets were arguing it should be made 1521 01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,599 Speaker 4: public because it's in the public interest and clearly given 1522 01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,719 Speaker 4: the scale of this business. It is the judge hearing 1523 01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,640 Speaker 4: it is Neil Campbell. He's reserved his decision in a 1524 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 4: minute he released late last week. He did, though, acknowledge 1525 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 4: the public interest in this, so that I think is 1526 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,280 Speaker 4: hopefully assigned that it is going to be out and 1527 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,639 Speaker 4: apparently it's been reported that there is a decision expected 1528 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 4: just in the next few days as to whether to 1529 01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,560 Speaker 4: release the report or not.

A new survey of chief 1565 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,639 Speaker 4: financial offices shows there's some positivity for the year ahead. 1566 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:10,120 Speaker 4: The inaugural Hunter Campbell Mood of the CFO survey shows 1567 01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,679 Speaker 4: thirty percent of CFOs feel upbeat about upcoming company performance. 1568 01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,160 Speaker 4: Informetric's principle economist Brad Olson is all over this, Hi, Brad, 1569 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,160 Speaker 4: good evening. Were you surprised to see this level of 1570 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,599 Speaker 4: positivity a little bit? 1571 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,719 Speaker 10: I mean both in terms of expectations for the year ahead, 1572 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 10: but actually just looking at how activity has gone for 1573 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:30,800 Speaker 10: a lot of companies over the last year. You know, 1574 01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,720 Speaker 10: some of the CFOs that were interviewed suggested that, yes, 1575 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,719 Speaker 10: it's been tough. Twenty one percent of their revenue had declined, 1576 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,559 Speaker 10: twenty nine said their profitability had declined. And I think 1577 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,640 Speaker 10: the difference in those numbers sort of suggest, you know that, 1578 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,559 Speaker 10: obviously costs are still playing a part, but the fact 1579 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,840 Speaker 10: that thirty percentury the upbeat or bullish about company expectations 1580 01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 10: for the year ahead, I think does reinforce what you've 1581 01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 10: seen in other surveys and other indicators that actually, you know, 1582 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,519 Speaker 10: there is a bit of a bit more optimism coming 1583 01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,880 Speaker 10: through in the business community about better things to come. 1584 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1585 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 4: Now, I mean, obviously thirty percent feeling great does mean 1586 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,320 Speaker 4: that's seventy percent, So what's going on there? 1587 01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:08,200 Speaker 10: Well, Equally, when we sort of look through some of 1588 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,240 Speaker 10: those figures, you've got sort of thirty percent that are 1589 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,280 Speaker 10: either upbeat or bullish, you've got sort of the bulk 1590 01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:15,200 Speaker 10: in the middle who are sort of going, look, we 1591 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,320 Speaker 10: think that things will be okay, we'll either hold still 1592 01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:21,040 Speaker 10: or will grow but maybe not had our growth expectations, 1593 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:23,680 Speaker 10: or you know, will grow, but we might have our 1594 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,720 Speaker 10: expectations but not really sort of plow through them. But 1595 01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 10: I think it does sort of suggest if you look 1596 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,639 Speaker 10: at the numbers who are reporting that they think things 1597 01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,439 Speaker 10: are going to get worse from where they are here, 1598 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:34,559 Speaker 10: it's still sort of in an all right position. 1599 01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,360 Speaker 4: So what is it that they are saying specifically that 1600 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:39,240 Speaker 4: they're worried about. 1601 01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 10: I mean, there's still a range of concerns out there. 1602 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 10: I mean, obviously costs are still a big part of it, 1603 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 10: and I mean, you know, I think there's been a 1604 01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 10: lot of confidence that the lowering of the official cash 1605 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:54,040 Speaker 10: rate has provided to them. Also interesting is what they're 1606 01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:57,400 Speaker 10: asking for from politicians. Some of it is the usual stuff. 1607 01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,360 Speaker 10: You know, they want less regulation and and sort of 1608 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 10: policies that support more productive outcomes. You know, they don't 1609 01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:05,240 Speaker 10: want to be dealing in red tape every day. They 1610 01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,040 Speaker 10: want sort of you know, the right tax settings to 1611 01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,680 Speaker 10: people get on and go to work and do that 1612 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 10: productive stuff. But sort of almost surprisingly for CFOs, you know, 1613 01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 10: everyone thinks of them from a very traditional finance point 1614 01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:18,920 Speaker 10: of view. But you know this Hunter Campbell now says 1615 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,519 Speaker 10: highlights that actually there's things around the likes of the 1616 01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,519 Speaker 10: cost of living, about crime rates, around utility bills and 1617 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,479 Speaker 10: similar you know, there is a much greater focus I 1618 01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 10: think on people and talent from CFOs at the moment. 1619 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,519 Speaker 10: They do care a lot more about the staff that 1620 01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,640 Speaker 10: they're looking after. They're having to be a lot more 1621 01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 10: proactive about that, and in fact, they're actually still worried 1622 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,800 Speaker 10: about talent despite the fact the unemployment rates going up, 1623 01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:43,519 Speaker 10: and I think that highlights that we still have a 1624 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,640 Speaker 10: skills mismatch. There's still some good talent needed in the 1625 01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:47,840 Speaker 10: finance space at the minute. 1626 01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:50,600 Speaker 4: Brad, I know you love your infrastructure. What did you 1627 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:51,920 Speaker 4: make of the announcement yesterday? 1628 01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:53,320 Speaker 2: Oh? 1629 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,200 Speaker 10: Look, I think it's encouraging to see that, you know, 1630 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,040 Speaker 10: all of that money being spent going forward on infrastructure, 1631 01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:00,680 Speaker 10: and certainly some of those is that you know, do 1632 01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 10: desperately need it. I'm a Northander, I know how challenging 1633 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,519 Speaker 10: it is when the brend Dowins go out, So you know, 1634 01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:10,040 Speaker 10: some of those investments are encouraging. The tricky thing looking 1635 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:11,560 Speaker 10: through the document is going to be there is a 1636 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 10: lot of commitment to spend money. There is not a 1637 01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,639 Speaker 10: huge amount of that money into the future years that's 1638 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,560 Speaker 10: going spare, So at some point we're going to have 1639 01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,720 Speaker 10: to decide do we want to sit in traffic, do 1640 01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 10: we want to have you know, congestion running through or 1641 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,960 Speaker 10: are we happy to pay tolls or taxes or something 1642 01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 10: because we've got to get better quality infrastructure. 1643 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough, Hey Brad, thank you as always really appreciated. 1644 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:35,000 Speaker 4: That's Brad Olson, informetrics principle economist. The GDP number for 1645 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,360 Speaker 4: Australia is due out tomorrow and if I remember correctly, 1646 01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,160 Speaker 4: in the March quarter it was something like zero point 1647 01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,439 Speaker 4: one percent, and then this quarter that's just gone. The 1648 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 4: June quarter they are expecting it to be somewhere between 1649 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,400 Speaker 4: zero point one and zero point three percent, so it's 1650 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,640 Speaker 4: pretty much flatlining. It's but it's not pretty, but at 1651 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,760 Speaker 4: least it's not a recession. At least it's not three 1652 01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:55,760 Speaker 4: recessions like in New Zealand. Anyway, Paul Bloxham is going 1653 01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:57,320 Speaker 4: to be with us after half past six and talk 1654 01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 4: us through it. Brazil's ban on Twitter, it seems to 1655 01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,880 Speaker 4: be holding. It's just gone to the Supreme Court there 1656 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:07,160 Speaker 4: they have upheld at five judges unanimously agreed Twitter deserves 1657 01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:10,320 Speaker 4: to stay banned. What seems to have irritated the judges, 1658 01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,200 Speaker 4: or at least one of them, is that when it 1659 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,240 Speaker 4: was in the lower courts, I think last week a 1660 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:17,320 Speaker 4: court had told Twitter to name a legal representative in Brazil, 1661 01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,639 Speaker 4: but Twitter is a big deal, don't you know, because 1662 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 4: of Elon Musk. So they didn't do it, and so 1663 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 4: the judge. The judge was quite annoyed, said because Twitter 1664 01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 4: had ignored it, it obviously considered itself above the rule 1665 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:30,920 Speaker 4: of law and therefore it can stay banned. Six twenty one. 1666 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,559 Speaker 5: The Rural Report on hither due to see allan drive. 1667 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,800 Speaker 4: Either if you're in Brazil, which I'm not, but thank 1668 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,640 Speaker 4: you for the advice, just use a VPN. You can 1669 01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:42,880 Speaker 4: get around the Twitter ban easily. 1670 01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 24: Ben. 1671 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 4: That is a lot of effort to go to just 1672 01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,960 Speaker 4: use Twitter, which actually, frankly sucks lately. I don't know 1673 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 4: if you've tried it. Six twenty four with me now 1674 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 4: is Jamie McKay host to the Country a Jamie Good Heather. 1675 01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,640 Speaker 26: Interesting to hear you talking to Miles Hurrell at the 1676 01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 26: top of the air. Look significant investment last week at Studham, 1677 01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:04,560 Speaker 26: this week Sedendale and Southland. Good news week or a 1678 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,519 Speaker 26: couple of weeks for the dairy industry. They've got a 1679 01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:11,920 Speaker 26: GDT auction tonight, my guy Jardin Mike McIntire picking another 1680 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 26: two to three percent rise. The milk futures are sitting 1681 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,360 Speaker 26: at eight eighty nine. That's getting up there. They and 1682 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,000 Speaker 26: Zed are leading the charge. 1683 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:20,280 Speaker 2: Heather. 1684 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:25,559 Speaker 26: They've they've raised their forecast milk price to nine dollars 1685 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:29,839 Speaker 26: a kilogram last week. Interestingly, Rabobank went to sixty Fonterra 1686 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,560 Speaker 26: still at eight fifty. But you'd have to think on 1687 01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:37,720 Speaker 26: the present market sentiment that maybe nine dollars is on 1688 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 26: the cards and that's a good number. 1689 01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:41,240 Speaker 4: How good? What a turnaround from where it was not 1690 01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 4: long ago and everybody was so upset and desperate. 1691 01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:47,639 Speaker 26: Aim, Well, you go back to August twenty twenty three, 1692 01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 26: so that's twelve months ago we had that terrible GDT auction. 1693 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,320 Speaker 26: Six dollars fifty was the number being bandied about, and 1694 01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,880 Speaker 26: that would have resulted in the loss for nearly every 1695 01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 26: dairy farmer in the country. Look, I mean the I 1696 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,800 Speaker 26: can't sugarcoat the increase in production over the past few years. 1697 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 26: It's been absolutely horrendous. But you know, I look at 1698 01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,200 Speaker 26: dairy and I compare it the poor old sheep farmers 1699 01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 26: at the moment, and there's some green sheets they are 1700 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,479 Speaker 26: coming for them as well, which is good. But I 1701 01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,479 Speaker 26: think theiry is in quite a good space at the moment. 1702 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:19,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, sounds like now, Jamie. I was skouting before about 1703 01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,559 Speaker 4: how warm it's been in Auckland in the last few days, 1704 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:23,599 Speaker 4: and then I started getting all these texts about its raining. 1705 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,760 Speaker 4: Everywhere has been raining in Canterbury. 1706 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 26: No, and that's what they need. They desperately need some rain. 1707 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,479 Speaker 26: In Canterbury they had a couple of cold shifts coming through. 1708 01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:37,240 Speaker 26: But look, North Canterbury is absolutely dire, the Hiiranui district 1709 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:42,880 Speaker 26: in particular. I saw a rainfall quotation from one farmer 1710 01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:46,560 Speaker 26: in Scagore, which is in North Canterbury. Between December of 1711 01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,040 Speaker 26: last year and August of this year, I've only had 1712 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:53,479 Speaker 26: two hundred and twenty millimeters of millimeters of rain. Now 1713 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,800 Speaker 26: to classify as a desert on an annual basis you 1714 01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:00,360 Speaker 26: need less than three hundred, so extrapolate that out. North 1715 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:04,479 Speaker 26: Canterbury is technically almost a desert. It was declared a 1716 01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,439 Speaker 26: medium scale adverse event drought by Todd McLay, Minister of 1717 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:12,560 Speaker 26: Agriculture in March. But look, typically in Canterbury, you know 1718 01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,080 Speaker 26: they'll have dry summers, they farm to those, the autumn 1719 01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:17,400 Speaker 26: rains come, they get a bit of growth through the 1720 01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,439 Speaker 26: winter and they're away. But they just haven't had the 1721 01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 26: autumn rains. They haven't even had the winter rains. They're 1722 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 26: getting a wee bit of growth. 1723 01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:25,040 Speaker 2: Now off the warmth. 1724 01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:28,080 Speaker 26: But as soon as those Northwesters start going as they 1725 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,640 Speaker 26: are at the moment, witness the fire that's happening at 1726 01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,679 Speaker 26: the moment, and that place will burn to a frazzle. 1727 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:38,280 Speaker 26: They desperately need some good news from Mother Nature in 1728 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 26: the next two or three weeks. I'd suggest by the 1729 01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,320 Speaker 26: end of September, or it could be game over. 1730 01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,800 Speaker 4: He is hoping. Jamie, thank you so much, appreciate it. 1731 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 4: Jamie McKay hosts The Country Talking in a couple of days. 1732 01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,559 Speaker 4: There is something weird going on with the guys up. 1733 01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 4: Do you remember those guys up at the space station, 1734 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,880 Speaker 4: the ones who went up with Boeing and then Boeing broke, 1735 01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,800 Speaker 4: Because everything that Boeing does at the moment is they 1736 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:05,120 Speaker 4: say they've been hearing a strange noise coming from the capsule. 1737 01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 4: It's like when you have a baby and they put 1738 01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,680 Speaker 4: one of those listening devices on your belly and that's 1739 01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:18,839 Speaker 4: what the babies heart, but it's not you're in space 1740 01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 4: and then that weird thing is happening. So they called 1741 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:24,040 Speaker 4: imagine how freaky that is called mission control. Played it 1742 01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:26,040 Speaker 4: down the line. It sounds like it's just a speaker 1743 01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:30,560 Speaker 4: feedback loop. Nothing serious, but just another problem with the 1744 01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:34,360 Speaker 4: Boeing thing. Just imagine that you're sitting up in space 1745 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:35,800 Speaker 4: all on your todd the two of you, and then 1746 01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 4: you're listening to that noise. Headline's next to them. Paul Bloxham. 1747 01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:48,839 Speaker 5: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's hither duplicy. 1748 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,479 Speaker 1: Ellen with the Business Hour thanks to my HR, the 1749 01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:56,200 Speaker 1: HR solution for busy s Emmy's on news talks, Ibby 1750 01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:58,200 Speaker 1: begin a busy. 1751 01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 8: Right. 1752 01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:06,240 Speaker 4: Every Grady's going to be with us out of the 1753 01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,479 Speaker 4: UK shortly, so our first chance talking to him about 1754 01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,400 Speaker 4: where they managed to get himself some Oasis tickets and 1755 01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,000 Speaker 4: how expensive they were. By the way, I saw actually 1756 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:17,480 Speaker 4: online that there is there is some advice from experts 1757 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,200 Speaker 4: that it is possible that Ticketmaster in the UK using 1758 01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,880 Speaker 4: the dynamic pricing may have breached the law there, which 1759 01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:26,720 Speaker 4: is not what we thought yesterday. So I'll get you 1760 01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:29,280 Speaker 4: across that shortly. It's twenty four away from seven now. 1761 01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:33,360 Speaker 4: Australian GDP comes out tomorrow and economists are expecting some 1762 01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,040 Speaker 4: growth just a little bit, Paul blocks them as Agspecies 1763 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:39,559 Speaker 4: chief economist and with us. Now, hey, Paul, I see 1764 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 4: a couple of banks have revised their forecasts down and 1765 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 4: they're just sitting above zero at the moment. 1766 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:47,439 Speaker 18: What are you calling on the quarter itselfero point three 1767 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,680 Speaker 18: over the year one percent and irrespective, that would be 1768 01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,479 Speaker 18: a pretty weak print really, and that's what we're expecting. 1769 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,439 Speaker 18: The growth is quite weak, as you say, it's sort 1770 01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 18: of somewhere in that very very low range for growth 1771 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,680 Speaker 18: in the economy. But that's what's needed in order to 1772 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,080 Speaker 18: get inflation down. We've been having sluggish growth in Australia 1773 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,720 Speaker 18: for some time, as you also know, we haven't had 1774 01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 18: a contraction in GDP. I mean other places in New 1775 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,559 Speaker 18: Zealand included have had declining GDP. In order to get 1776 01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 18: inflation down, Australia has chosen this pathway of slowing growth down, 1777 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:22,200 Speaker 18: having sluggish growth for a longer period to get inflation down, 1778 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 18: but not actually having an outright contraction. 1779 01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, is that as close as you get 1780 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,040 Speaker 4: to landing a jumbo jet on a postage stemp? 1781 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:31,639 Speaker 18: Well, this is it, right, So this is the aim 1782 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,240 Speaker 18: is to deliver a soft landing and also get inflation 1783 01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:36,720 Speaker 18: to come down. And the trade off is it may 1784 01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,599 Speaker 18: take longer, we may have a long we are likely 1785 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 18: to have a longer period of weak growth in order 1786 01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:44,800 Speaker 18: to get inflation to come down. And the other option 1787 01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:48,160 Speaker 18: is to have a shorter period of much much weaker growth, 1788 01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:51,120 Speaker 18: which is sort of where the direction of New Zealand's travel. 1789 01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,280 Speaker 18: We think when the New Zealand numbers come out in 1790 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 18: a few weeks time, it will show that in the 1791 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 18: second quarter GDP probably fell in New Zealand. So there 1792 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:02,000 Speaker 18: are two sort of slightly they're different pathways to looking 1793 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:03,679 Speaker 18: to get inflation back to target. 1794 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:04,960 Speaker 4: Which one is the better one? 1795 01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:07,960 Speaker 18: Well, this is a good question, and it really is 1796 01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:11,320 Speaker 18: difficult to answer because it depends on, you know, preferences. 1797 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,120 Speaker 18: It depends on how heavily you weight the priority of 1798 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,960 Speaker 18: getting inflation down fast, and how you weight that against 1799 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 18: how much unemployment you're prepared to accept, how much weaker 1800 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,720 Speaker 18: growth you're prepared to accept, And so it's how much 1801 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,759 Speaker 18: weight you place on those two priorities. And it seems 1802 01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 18: that the RBNZ has put a very high priority on 1803 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:35,320 Speaker 18: getting inflation down faster, and the RBA is finding, you know, 1804 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,680 Speaker 18: putting a bigger weight on trying to stay close to 1805 01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:40,719 Speaker 18: full employment while getting inflation down. It really just depends 1806 01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:42,759 Speaker 18: on how much weight those things carry. 1807 01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:45,679 Speaker 4: Do you have an opinion, Paul, Because at the outset, 1808 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:47,920 Speaker 4: when this debate was happening, I thought, no, inflation's the 1809 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,320 Speaker 4: most important thing, go for it. But as the longer 1810 01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 4: this goes on in New Zealand, and the more businesses 1811 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,679 Speaker 4: I see closed and the more economic scarring ICEE happen, 1812 01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,120 Speaker 4: and particularly with the young people, I am starting to 1813 01:25:58,200 --> 01:25:59,920 Speaker 4: question myself. So what's your opinion. 1814 01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,280 Speaker 18: I think that it's going to take time for us 1815 01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 18: to be able to look back and assess where we landed. 1816 01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,680 Speaker 18: I don't think it's actually reasonable to sort of sit 1817 01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:09,599 Speaker 18: in the middle of this process and try to make 1818 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,680 Speaker 18: a clear judgment as to which turns out to be 1819 01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 18: the better one. Unfortunately, it's going to take time for 1820 01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,639 Speaker 18: us to sort of work out how things do actually 1821 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,040 Speaker 18: turn out, because inflation is not back at target yet. 1822 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,720 Speaker 18: In Australia, it's still well well above target and it's 1823 01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,000 Speaker 18: going to take time. It's actually not quite back at 1824 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,519 Speaker 18: target in New Zealand yet either. Although the arbience of 1825 01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,360 Speaker 18: ZS obviously decided they can start to lower interest rates. 1826 01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,800 Speaker 18: So I still think it's a bit early to really 1827 01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:34,320 Speaker 18: decide which one was the better pathway. We're going to 1828 01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:35,479 Speaker 18: need a bit more time to work it out. 1829 01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:38,040 Speaker 4: Listen back to the GDP number at zero point three 1830 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 4: percent for the quarter, Is that still a recession per 1831 01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 4: capita per capita? 1832 01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,920 Speaker 18: Yes, so propopulation growth is still outpacing that. So GDP 1833 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,639 Speaker 18: per capita is falling. And that's the case of both 1834 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 18: New Zealand and Australia. But in Australia's case, we had 1835 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:56,040 Speaker 18: very strong population growth and obviously quite weak GDP growth 1836 01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 18: per capita. GDP is declining, but overall GDP is not 1837 01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,120 Speaker 18: because the growth is being supported by more people coming in. 1838 01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, fascinating stuff, Paul, Thank you very much. We are 1839 01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 4: going to see a very interesting divergence here between the 1840 01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:09,839 Speaker 4: two and be able to decide which are the two approaches, 1841 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:14,760 Speaker 4: is correct. That's Paul Bloxham, HSBC's chief economists. Now, you 1842 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:18,400 Speaker 4: know if you listen to the show, that I think 1843 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:22,479 Speaker 4: that most social media trends are the epitome of stupid, right, 1844 01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:25,679 Speaker 4: especially stuff that you see on TikTok. It's like brain 1845 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 4: dead Zone is real stupid. Shit going on there. I'm 1846 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 4: gonna be honest with you, I have found the best one. 1847 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:36,160 Speaker 4: Yet nothing beats how stupid This one is fridge scaping. 1848 01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 4: So this is where people who clearly have no children, 1849 01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:47,479 Speaker 4: very easy jobs, and no friends decide to decorate the 1850 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,439 Speaker 4: inside of their fridges. But they don't just decorate the 1851 01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,640 Speaker 4: inside of their fridges to suit their personal esthetic. They 1852 01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,200 Speaker 4: decorate the inside of their fridges in the style of 1853 01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 4: Bridgeton decor. So it's variously known as fridge scape or frigitin. 1854 01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,760 Speaker 4: What they do is the following things like, you need 1855 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,080 Speaker 4: to really go and look this up online. Go go 1856 01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:09,519 Speaker 4: fridge scaping or frigit in, have a look at that 1857 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,519 Speaker 4: to get the kind of full thing that they are 1858 01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:15,640 Speaker 4: doing here. But I'll paint you a picture, right, So, 1859 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 4: imagine opening up your fridge and every single shelf is 1860 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:24,160 Speaker 4: just chock a block full of little knickknacks and crap 1861 01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,600 Speaker 4: like that. There is a gold mirror attached to the 1862 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,439 Speaker 4: back of the fridge on one of the shelves. Someone's 1863 01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:34,120 Speaker 4: put someone being the Fridgeona has put porcelain vases of 1864 01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,639 Speaker 4: flowers on every single level, little jars with cut flowers, 1865 01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,639 Speaker 4: a little like twined, tying, tying, the little little cut 1866 01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,280 Speaker 4: ends of your little lavender, a porcelain hedgehog on one 1867 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:46,880 Speaker 4: of the shelves, and fairy lights across all of that. Yeah, 1868 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,679 Speaker 4: fairy lights across all of the shelves. Cut out pictures 1869 01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,760 Speaker 4: of fairy stuck to various bowls with cherries in them 1870 01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:55,960 Speaker 4: or raspberries or whatever you got in there at the moment, 1871 01:28:56,280 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 4: A toy deer, porcelain toadstools, butterflies stuck to the wall, 1872 01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:04,960 Speaker 4: presumably with a little bit of blue tack, like something 1873 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,760 Speaker 4: that looks like a glass ashtray but probably is a 1874 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:09,920 Speaker 4: bit fancy, like like a little bowl of the nickknacks 1875 01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:13,720 Speaker 4: or something like that. It's cut glass. Some unlit candles, yeah, 1876 01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:15,320 Speaker 4: because you can't light the candle in the fridge, but 1877 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:18,559 Speaker 4: you can have the candle in their needlework in a frame, 1878 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:20,600 Speaker 4: some needlework that your granny did and left for you. 1879 01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:26,000 Speaker 4: The vibe is very kind of Scottish Christmas. I want 1880 01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,200 Speaker 4: to say, it's it's cited like you've made a bit 1881 01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,759 Speaker 4: of an effort, but it's a bit of steer anyway. 1882 01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:33,599 Speaker 4: This is what they're doing with their time. Because I've 1883 01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,880 Speaker 4: obviously got too much of it. I don't need to 1884 01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,160 Speaker 4: tell you that the health the food safety people have 1885 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,120 Speaker 4: come out and told them it's probably not a good idea, 1886 01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:43,880 Speaker 4: because your fridge is for your food and not for 1887 01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:46,479 Speaker 4: things like this that's been touched by everybody's gross little 1888 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,040 Speaker 4: hands and is now in there with them. And hello 1889 01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:53,360 Speaker 4: hashtag cross contamination idiots eighteen away from seven. 1890 01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:58,080 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro micro or just playing economics, it's all 1891 01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:02,320 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour, duplicy Allen and my HR the 1892 01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:06,400 Speaker 1: HR solution for busy SMEs U stog zippi the why do. 1893 01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 4: You have to tell us a crap? Because if I 1894 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:11,000 Speaker 4: don't tell you about fridgeton, who else is going to 1895 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:12,479 Speaker 4: tell you? And when you go to your young one's 1896 01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:14,000 Speaker 4: house and you open the fridge up and you see 1897 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:15,640 Speaker 4: all the snnsense going on there, you'd be like, oh, 1898 01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:17,040 Speaker 4: that's right here. They told me about that. Now I 1899 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,200 Speaker 4: know what's up. You get it out. But otherwise you'd be. 1900 01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:19,880 Speaker 2: Like, what is this? 1901 01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:24,200 Speaker 4: And fore warneders four round quarter to seven into Brady 1902 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:28,200 Speaker 4: UK correspondence with us. Now, Inda, Heather, did you get 1903 01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:28,679 Speaker 4: your tickets? 1904 01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 2: No, of course not. 1905 01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:33,920 Speaker 27: So this was the story of the weekend and it's 1906 01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:37,080 Speaker 27: turned into quite a political storm now Oasis tickets and 1907 01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:42,800 Speaker 27: dynamic pricing. Now apparently apps deploy this for hotel prices. 1908 01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,920 Speaker 27: Airlines use it when it gets busy. Dynamic pricing. It 1909 01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:50,240 Speaker 27: was implemented very quickly over the weekend for Oasis tickets 1910 01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:54,000 Speaker 27: across the UK and Ireland and people ended up paying 1911 01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 27: north of seven hundred and fifty dollars to stand. And 1912 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:00,639 Speaker 27: the way it works, there was a huge I mean 1913 01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,760 Speaker 27: there was at one stage eight hundred thousand people in 1914 01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,760 Speaker 27: the QU in the UK. I was in the Irish que. 1915 01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,800 Speaker 27: There's two gigs in Krog Park where we played Gaelic 1916 01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:13,959 Speaker 27: football and hurling in Dublin, ninety thousand capacity in that stadium. 1917 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:17,040 Speaker 27: Two gigs in Dublin. I got onto the app. I'm 1918 01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:19,000 Speaker 27: not even gonna mention the name of the people because 1919 01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:21,840 Speaker 27: not to give them any more publicity. I got onto 1920 01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,560 Speaker 27: that app with five minutes before the window opened, and 1921 01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,640 Speaker 27: I was number three hundred thousand in the Q in 1922 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 27: Ireland at seven to fifty five am on Saturday. Now, Heather, 1923 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,280 Speaker 27: I'm Irish. There's no way I know Ireland on a 1924 01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:33,960 Speaker 27: Saturday morning. 1925 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:34,479 Speaker 2: There's no way. 1926 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:36,879 Speaker 27: There was three hundred thousand people awake on a Saturday 1927 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:41,479 Speaker 27: morning in Ireland looking for Oasis tickets just not possible. 1928 01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:44,800 Speaker 27: So the end result anyway is it's developed into a 1929 01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:49,240 Speaker 27: huge political round now about basically the exploitation of fans 1930 01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 27: and this dynamic pricing. The UK government's going to have 1931 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:55,120 Speaker 27: an investigation and the Irish government is going to have 1932 01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,880 Speaker 27: an investigation. But in answer to your question, no, I 1933 01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:00,639 Speaker 27: didn't get tickets. And you know what, it sounds incredible entitled. 1934 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:02,800 Speaker 27: I'm going to wait until a week before that gig, 1935 01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:04,880 Speaker 27: and I guarantee if someone will say to me, oh, 1936 01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:06,920 Speaker 27: I've got one at face value, because all my mates 1937 01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:07,280 Speaker 27: can't go. 1938 01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:08,720 Speaker 15: That's why my plan? 1939 01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:11,439 Speaker 4: Do you do you believe? Because I was just I was, 1940 01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:12,960 Speaker 4: and there's probably not a bad plan, by the way, 1941 01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:15,400 Speaker 4: and I was just reading about this. Apparently these guys 1942 01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 4: who were not naming Voldemort may have breached consumer price 1943 01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:22,080 Speaker 4: laws because they didn't warn people about the dynamic ticket pricing, 1944 01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:24,200 Speaker 4: which you apparently have to do. Did you get a warning? 1945 01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:27,800 Speaker 27: No warning whatsoever. And it's very clever what they do. 1946 01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,720 Speaker 27: So you're in this queue and so I give us 1947 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,000 Speaker 27: five minutes and then I went running. I thought I'm 1948 01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:35,400 Speaker 27: not wasting my Saturday staring at a screen here and 1949 01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 27: the numbers just ticking down every sixty seconds. It went 1950 01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:41,240 Speaker 27: down by ten or twelve. I thought, three hundred thousandth 1951 01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:41,880 Speaker 27: in a queue. 1952 01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:43,120 Speaker 2: This is just ridiculous. 1953 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 27: So this dynamic pricing, there was no warning about it. 1954 01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:48,479 Speaker 27: So say you did manage to get to the option 1955 01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:53,040 Speaker 27: of buying tickets, then suddenly you're confronted with this dynamic pricing. Oh, 1956 01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:56,519 Speaker 27: the one hundred and fifty dollars standing ticket. Dynamic pricing 1957 01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:59,000 Speaker 27: means it's now seven hundred and fifty dollars, And of 1958 01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,640 Speaker 27: course people panic and do you know people will have 1959 01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:03,120 Speaker 27: been saying, oh my god, it's my only chance to 1960 01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,200 Speaker 27: see them whack it on a credit card and pay 1961 01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:06,280 Speaker 27: it off month by month. 1962 01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:08,880 Speaker 2: It's outrageous what went on. 1963 01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:12,160 Speaker 27: I'm really disappointed in Liam and Noel Gallagher, and I 1964 01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,479 Speaker 27: consider Nola friend. There's been no word from either of them, 1965 01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:19,800 Speaker 27: and nothing worse, nothing annoys me more than seeing working 1966 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:22,719 Speaker 27: class people exploiting working class people. 1967 01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:26,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, sid, how is the government going to crack 1968 01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:28,000 Speaker 4: down on mobile phone phone taps? 1969 01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:28,640 Speaker 5: How do you do that? 1970 01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 27: So the police are saying they can't arrest their way 1971 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 27: out of this epidemic, and it is now epidemic levels. 1972 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,439 Speaker 27: I mean, I know so many people who go to 1973 01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:41,240 Speaker 27: work in London who on a weekly basis are having 1974 01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:45,560 Speaker 27: phones stolen. So you're seeing these guys in hoodies, mostly teenagers, 1975 01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:48,360 Speaker 27: and they're on these electric scooters. People are getting out 1976 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,840 Speaker 27: their phone, they get lost, they're going on maps or whatever, 1977 01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,080 Speaker 27: and the phone is whipped out of your hand in seconds. Now, 1978 01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 27: the stats that are out today on this are absolutely shocking. 1979 01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:01,840 Speaker 27: Eighty thousand thefts of mobile phones reported in a year 1980 01:34:02,320 --> 01:34:06,760 Speaker 27: almost and get this, less than one percent result in 1981 01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:09,720 Speaker 27: a police charge. So you can forget about your phone goals. 1982 01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:11,639 Speaker 27: And I'm just going to tell you a little personal story. 1983 01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 27: Friend of mine last Saturday in Soho Saturday evening in London, 1984 01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:18,519 Speaker 27: three men came up to him, pulled a knife and 1985 01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:21,719 Speaker 27: said hand over your phone. He had the phone open 1986 01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:22,920 Speaker 27: so they don't need the pin. 1987 01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:24,519 Speaker 2: Code, and I said, well, what happened? 1988 01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:27,000 Speaker 27: Then he said, well, he said them very quickly money 1989 01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:29,320 Speaker 27: started going out with my bank account. They got into 1990 01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,040 Speaker 27: his bank account, they were spending on his cards. He 1991 01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,640 Speaker 27: had a crypto wallet. Now I don't even know what 1992 01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:36,639 Speaker 27: that is, but apparently there's a lot of money in there. 1993 01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:40,200 Speaker 27: They were trying to move his crypto and this all 1994 01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:44,360 Speaker 27: happened inside about thirty minutes of the initial theft and 1995 01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:47,600 Speaker 27: that so basically it's extremely organized. But in answer to 1996 01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:49,760 Speaker 27: your question, the UK government are going to call in 1997 01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:53,120 Speaker 27: the tech companies and demand that they put some function 1998 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,679 Speaker 27: to disable the phone so that it can't be sold 1999 01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:56,360 Speaker 27: on afterwards. 2000 01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:57,280 Speaker 15: Yeah. 2001 01:34:57,360 --> 01:35:00,240 Speaker 4: So, I mean in the meantime, it feels like what 2002 01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 4: you should be avoiding is putting your credit cards or 2003 01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 4: your crypto wallets or in any of that kind of 2004 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,040 Speaker 4: stuff on your phone, right. It needs to be it 2005 01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:10,720 Speaker 4: needs to be even if it's open, people can't give 2006 01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:11,080 Speaker 4: you money. 2007 01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:12,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. 2008 01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:15,280 Speaker 27: And I think my young lad's just gone into London. 2009 01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:17,559 Speaker 27: It's the last day of the school holidays. He's sixteen 2010 01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,080 Speaker 27: and he's a big lad. He's six foot four. Him 2011 01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:21,880 Speaker 27: and his mate have gone into London today to go 2012 01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:24,200 Speaker 27: buy T shirts apparently. And the last thing I said 2013 01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,679 Speaker 27: to him was do not take your phone out in public. 2014 01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:29,400 Speaker 27: It will go and that that's where we're at. That's 2015 01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:31,639 Speaker 27: where we're at. So and I'm more wary. I mean, 2016 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:33,600 Speaker 27: I know so many people now it happens in a 2017 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:36,559 Speaker 27: second I've heard of people going into fast food takeaways 2018 01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:37,400 Speaker 27: getting off of bus. 2019 01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:40,960 Speaker 2: We're so accustomed to Where am I? I'm lost. 2020 01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:42,720 Speaker 27: I don't know where this street is going on. I've 2021 01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:44,800 Speaker 27: just had a text message. You get your phone out 2022 01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 27: and it is gone in less than seconds. 2023 01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a very good point, Inda, thank you very much, 2024 01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,720 Speaker 4: really appreciating about Into Brady, UK correspondent.

Listen, 2054 01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:18,560 Speaker 4: this is bizarre. H After fifty years, this week, it 2055 01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:22,120 Speaker 4: sounds like authorities in Pennsylvania have finally solved a mystery 2056 01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:24,160 Speaker 4: of a guy who died in a cave in Appalachia. 2057 01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 4: They didn't know who the sky was. The hikers found 2058 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,599 Speaker 4: his body in nineteen seventy seven, and from nineteen seventy 2059 01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:31,840 Speaker 4: seven until now they did not know who he was, 2060 01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:35,559 Speaker 4: couldn't tell who he was from his appearance or his clothing, 2061 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:37,840 Speaker 4: all the things he had in his bag. They took 2062 01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:41,439 Speaker 4: us dental info. They also took his fingerprints, and then 2063 01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:45,200 Speaker 4: they lost his dental info and they lost his fingerprints, 2064 01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:48,080 Speaker 4: so all they had left was this really hideous sketch 2065 01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:49,439 Speaker 4: of him. Now that we know who he is, it 2066 01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 4: actually like it was pretty good, pretty good sketch, but 2067 01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:53,920 Speaker 4: like it was just a sketch who was like some 2068 01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:57,080 Speaker 4: kid had drawn dude with long hair. Anyway, they couldn't 2069 01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 4: figure it out this whole time, and they kept coming 2070 01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,240 Speaker 4: back to it now and again, and in twenty nineteen 2071 01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:04,120 Speaker 4: they even exhumed him to check his dental records again 2072 01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:07,320 Speaker 4: and it came to nothing. And then last month in August, 2073 01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:11,760 Speaker 4: a Pennsylvania state trooper discovered his fingerprint card. Like he 2074 01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:14,320 Speaker 4: was like, that's all make from the appalasia. So he 2075 01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:17,160 Speaker 4: found the fingerprint card. This is the one they took 2076 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,560 Speaker 4: in nineteen seventy seven and lost. He sent it to 2077 01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:23,479 Speaker 4: the National Missing Person System and in fifty three minutes 2078 01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:25,599 Speaker 4: they figured out who it was in less than an hour. 2079 01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:28,040 Speaker 4: The guy is a guy called Nicholas Grubb, who was 2080 01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:30,519 Speaker 4: only twenty seven years old, came from Pennsylvania, had been 2081 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:33,040 Speaker 4: a member of the National Army, the Army National Guard 2082 01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:35,920 Speaker 4: in Pennsylvania in the early seventies. Me got himself. He'd 2083 01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,760 Speaker 4: had an incident with the cops a couple of years 2084 01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,719 Speaker 4: before he died, which is why they had his fingerprint. Basically, 2085 01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:43,560 Speaker 4: died of exposure, didn't have warm enough clothing, didn't have 2086 01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,760 Speaker 4: any camping gear or food. He tried to start a 2087 01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:48,559 Speaker 4: fire but it hadn't worked, so basically the snow came 2088 01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:52,519 Speaker 4: in and he died. But imagine being the person who 2089 01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:56,120 Speaker 4: lost his fingerprint card in nineteen seventy seven and all that, 2090 01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:59,560 Speaker 4: and that would have solved it. And whoever that guy is, 2091 01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:01,880 Speaker 4: I kind of hope he's not around for the story today. 2092 01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:06,120 Speaker 7: Ans believe by Share to play us out tonight. Apparently 2093 01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:08,439 Speaker 7: Share is possibly going to be on the lineup for 2094 01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:12,599 Speaker 7: Glastonbury Festival next year.
