David Seymour 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 3: on his wall with the Rahliti White stt Well here 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 3: to Australia. The unions are getting particularly fair all over there. 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 3: We'll tell you why and what's being done about it. 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: Students are partying in Dunedin. Is that news? And Nikola 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 3: willis after six Bridge for the first time at the weekend, 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: I wandered on down to the viaduct here in Auckland 16 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 3: and checked out Wayne Brown's pool. It's everyone been down 17 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: to see Wayne Brown's pool. You must go and have 18 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 3: a look. And when I say Paul, I mean it's 19 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: the ocean, but he's shaped it as such that it 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 3: appears to be a swimming pool. My parents in all 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 3: they were visiting for the weekend, so we took them 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 3: down there and went down in the car very hot. 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: It was a Saturday evening, Saturday afternoon, so we went 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 3: down there. Absolutely brilliant idea. I mean, it's not rocket sciences. 25 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 3: It's a couple of old floating docks from the wharf 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: nearby that apparently old mate Wayne Brown went and asked 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: if he could borrow or buy or commandeer or whatever, 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: put a bit of a barrier around it, a gate 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: for your diving board. A couple of we changing sheds 30 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: half a million bucks. I think it costs a ratepayer. 31 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 3: Bob's your uncle. There were adults there, there were kids there. 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: They were doing bombs off the wharf. One old guy 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: was doing laps with his goggles on and the lap pool. 34 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: Everybody having a great time. Everybody having a fantastic time. 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: And I thought, well, you don't need a big, fancy, 36 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: purpose built aquatic center head We've got the ocean, aren't 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: we lucky? And you know all those kids they could 38 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: afford to go there because there was nothing to pay. 39 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: There was no eighteen dollar entry fee with extra for 40 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 3: the diving board because it's in the ocean, so it's free. 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: Our councils get funding requests every day and every week 42 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: up and down the country. We talk about this absurd 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: funding requests that they get. Last Friday, we were talking 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: about how to house the homeless, like it's the council's job. 45 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: They get these ridiculous requests every day for funding and 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 3: some of the most outrageous white elephant projects. They've asked 47 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 3: to fund everything under the sun these days, and to 48 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: make everything safe for all of the vulnerable people. Have 49 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: you noticed that? But what we really need to do 50 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: is just readjust our expectations. I reckon. Not everything can 51 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: be new and perfect and sparkly and spankly. Not every 52 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 3: road can be run by pedestrians that are called footpaths, 53 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: and not every footpath needs a separate cycle way, and 54 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: not every cycle way needs to be gold plated. Not 55 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: every road crossing needs to be a raised one. What's 56 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: up with that? Honestly, the number popping up around my house. 57 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 3: I want to drive myself off the side of a cliff. 58 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: And why can't a pool be the ocean. Plenty of 59 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: kids could have hurt themselves at Wayne Brown's pool, probably 60 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: many have, some will get injuries, some may get bad ones. 61 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: But most will learn how to keep themselves safe. That's 62 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: called life. It can be risky, but very exciting, and 63 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: it need not be very expensive. Bridge and after four 64 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: news talks they'd be nineteen nine two the number de text. 65 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: So one in four school principles claim to see harmful 66 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: behavior every day, and the Children's Commissioner now wants to 67 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: see this change. This is to do with bullying. The 68 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: Commissioner wants schools to regularly report and publicly share data 69 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: on bullying at school. In other words, keep a logbook 70 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: and then publish it. Secondary School's Principal Association President Vaughan 71 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: Quo is with me, Hi, Vaughn. 72 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 4: Jord, how are you yeah, good? 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: Thank you? Good idea? Bad idea? Or is this just 74 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 3: a pen pusher with a dumb idea? It sounds sort 75 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: of sounds like that. 76 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: Well, the good part of it is nobody wants to 77 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 4: see anyone bullied or hurt at school, right, So we've 78 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: got an obligation to make sure we get that right. 79 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 4: What challenging about it is it's not quite as easily 80 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 4: quantified as you might think. Sort of like when you 81 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 4: were when you were talking about the Mayor's pool a 82 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 4: minute ago. It's not quite as easy as just judging 83 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 4: a money coming off the off that pontoon there. You 84 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 4: could apply some fairly simple rules and how high the 85 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: splash is, for example. But when it comes to when 86 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 4: it comes to behavior management and defining what bullying is, 87 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: there's lots of gray space. Every little conflict of book 88 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: is born different stuff. And of course when you look 89 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 4: at say the bully Free New Zealand website, there's clear 90 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 4: definitions of what bullying is. But it's it's deliberate and 91 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 4: there's a power and balance, it happens more than once. 92 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 4: It's a it's a repetitive behavior that's designed to cause harm. 93 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 4: And we often confuse bullying with just people not liking 94 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: each other and having a conflict that's relatively short lived 95 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 4: or one off acts of people being mean or rude. 96 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 4: And so if we were going to have a national 97 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 4: data base, that's that's reporting on that data in a 98 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 4: public way or a way of reporting that through our 99 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: existing systems, you have to you'd have to have consistency 100 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 4: across everybody, every teacher, every data entry point. 101 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: Too hard basket, Yeah, okay, all right, well we won't 102 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: do it then, I mean, why do we so why 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: do we bother with these Thanks job done. 104 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 5: We have these. 105 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: Reports, then we have the Children's Commissioner coming out and 106 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 3: calling for regular reporting, and then we have the PPG 107 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: come out and joining them. I mean, why don't we 108 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 3: just go back to teaching. 109 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 4: There's that is an argument, right, but part of the 110 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 4: teaching is, yes, there's literacy and numeracy, but we're actually 111 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 4: we're actually there is social engineers and trying to teach 112 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 4: people correct behavior as well. So it's a bit cliche, 113 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 4: but it does take everyone to raise a child, and 114 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 4: I think the the Children's Commissioner raising the issue and 115 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 4: causing a conversation to happen will sharpen people's focus up 116 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 4: around that, so that side of it is not so bad. 117 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 4: But you're not going to necessarily get anywhere publicly reporting 118 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 4: that my school has the worst bullying in the country, 119 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 4: because all it will happen is everyone will flood away 120 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 4: from my school and you've got a massive Crown asset 121 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 4: that's sitting empty on my campus. 122 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: Do you think people might actually some of the schools 123 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: might actually under report because they don't want to look 124 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: at the bullies school. 125 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 4: There's a significant disincentive to it, right, So you want 126 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 4: to make sure that you're first doing no harm. Very hypocratic, right, 127 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 4: and so you want to make sure that whatever solution 128 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 4: you put in place, actually the pointer is to stop 129 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 4: the bullying from here, not expose this, that or the 130 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 4: other thing. 131 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: What about there's lots of people messaging and saying bullying 132 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: is actually I mean, obviously someone's getting beaten till within 133 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: into their life. No one wants to see that. But 134 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: a little bit of bullying is a good thing. It 135 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: orders kids, you know, well. 136 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 4: A little bit of a little bit of a little 137 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 4: bit of banter is a good thing. There's quite a 138 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 4: difference between banter that you and I might have as 139 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 4: friends when we meet on Friday and hassle each other 140 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 4: over our working weeks and bullying. So remember, bullying is 141 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: about an imbalance of power and repetitive and so where 142 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: there's an imbalance of parents, not even I'm feeling subordinate 143 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 4: to you, and it doesn't I don't have a sense 144 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 4: of social justice or fineness around that. And so if 145 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 4: we're talking about bullying, a little bit of bullying is 146 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 4: not okay. Banter between mates is probably the thing that 147 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: they're referring to them. If they think it might be Okay. 148 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Vawn, thank you very much, so that 149 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: really appreciate your time as always. Thorn Creer with us 150 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: just gone fourteen minutes after four here on news Talks. 151 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 3: You'd be once on these secondary principles. Association, by the way, says, 152 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: don't worry about your logbook for bullying, because what is 153 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: bullying anyway? Nine two is the number to text. I 154 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: don't know. I do think not bullying, but a little 155 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: bit of teasing and ribbing is just part of life, 156 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 3: especially when you're growing up, when you're that age. Nineteen 157 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: ninety two, quarter past four. Sport next, shame about Liam 158 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: Lawson on the weekend, but I went to the Warriors, 159 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: didn't they do well. 160 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: It's the Heather to Bussy Allen Drive Full Show podcast 161 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk zb so B. 162 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: It is seventeen minutes after four.

Interesting watching the stock market over in 165 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 3: the US first half of March. Individual investors, this is 166 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: not your managed funds, but your individuals. They've been taking 167 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 3: out their four oh one case. That's their retirement funds 168 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 3: out of the stock market and the US at more 169 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 3: than four times the normal level. And other words, people 170 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 3: are fleeing. And this is because of the uncertainty on 171 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 3: the markets because of Trump and the going to the Euro. 172 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 3: Stocks up some of these indices up ten percent this 173 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 3: year already. And there's an eighty two year old man 174 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: they talk about in the Wall Street Journal. He has 175 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: taken half of his retirement funds out of the stock 176 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: market in the US and plumped it into gold. Gold's 177 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: obviously been up as well around three thousand and nunced. 178 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 3: It's thirteen point six percent this year, it's eighteen after. 179 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: Four Ryan Bridge. 180 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: Jason pineas with us. Hey Jason, Hello, Ryan, Now Liam 181 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: Lawson on yesterday wasn't very great, No no. 182 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 6: But didn't go the way he would have planned. He 183 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 6: had a pretty tough weekend all things considered. Ryan, even 184 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 6: from practice where you know, it started to go a 185 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 6: little bit of rye for him. Then after qualifying he 186 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 6: was on the back foot there and qualified way at 187 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 6: the back of the grid. Then they changed the car 188 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 6: so he had to start from pitt Lane under F 189 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 6: one regulations and on a very very challenging day, in 190 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 6: Melbourne yesterday without goodness only knows how they can go 191 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 6: at three hundred k with that rain lashing against the cars. 192 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 6: But nonetheless, he wasn't able to finish a DNF in 193 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 6: his first full time drive for red Ball. Look, it's 194 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 6: a long season. There are twenty four events. This is 195 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,599 Speaker 6: number one of twenty four. But look, I'm sure he 196 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 6: would have much rather had a better day yesterday. It'll 197 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 6: be a very good test of his resilience. That's one 198 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 6: of the reasons they put him in that car. They 199 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 6: had a lot of options in the two seat for 200 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 6: red Ball. They decided on Liam Lawson not only because 201 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 6: he's a good driver, but because he's got good mental fortitude. 202 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 6: He's going to need it because it is a harsh 203 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 6: glare on these twenty drivers and it hasn't started that 204 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 6: well for Liam Lawson. 205 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: It has been as you say, long season to go 206 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: and as I understand it, if you finish outside the 207 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 3: top ten, you don't get any points anyway, right, So 208 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: either you crash or you come eleventh, it's the same outcome, really, 209 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 3: isn't it. 210 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 6: That is the positive way we should be looking at 211 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 6: these things, right. That is one of the many things 212 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 6: I've always admired about is finding the positives. 213 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: Speaking of your Hurricanes did it at the weekend. It 214 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 3: might have taken them ahead high tackle, but they did. 215 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 6: We can put that off to one side. Surely is 216 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 6: a little bit of you know, just something that happened 217 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 6: along the way. You're right, it was missed by the ref. 218 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 6: Well they have kicked the penalty of the Highlanders they might have. 219 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 6: Who knows, they probably could have won the game with 220 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 6: that drop goal at the end. But yeah, for Hurricanes fans, 221 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 6: it was a much more palatable weekend. 222 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 3: And the Crusaders are their back. 223 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 7: Well they could be. 224 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 6: They could well be with the son on their backs 225 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 6: down in christ Church when that Saturday fifty five points 226 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 6: nine tries, macka Springer with five, severies with three. Well, 227 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 6: this time last year they were zero and five. Now 228 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 6: they've won four and only lost one of their first 229 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 6: five this season. So are they back well they I 230 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 6: guess that remains to be seen, but it's certainly a 231 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 6: heck of a lot better than twenty twenty four for 232 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 6: fans of the Crusaders. 233 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: Fascinating stuff, Jason, thank you very much for that. Jason Pine, 234 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 3: Sports talk host to be with you tonight seven o'clock 235 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 3: on News Talks MB twenty one minutes after four. Now 236 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: the Aussies are changing their banknotes. They're having a huge 237 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 3: debate about what they should put on the new banknotes 238 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 3: because they've decided to take the king off the banknotes. 239 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 3: The question is who the hell uses banknotes these days? Anyway, 240 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: we'll talk to our Ossie Corry after the news at half. 241 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: Pass informed inside into today's issues. It's Ryan Bridge on 242 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: hither dupericy Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's get 243 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: connected news Talk sa'd be good afternoon. 244 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: Welcome to your Monday afternoon, twenty four minutes after four. 245 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: Now do you think if you run an Airbnb out 246 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: of your house that you should have to pay commercial 247 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: rates at the moment? Presumably if you're particularly if you're 248 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: in Wellington, you'll be paying residential rates on that property. 249 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: But if you're earning regular income from airbmbing that short 250 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: term leasing that property, should you have to pay rates? 251 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 3: As a woman Julie Wilson who's really hit the roof 252 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: in Wellington, she owns an airbit. In fact, she owns 253 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: a couple two small airbnbs. She's on the show after five. 254 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: So I want to ask a bunch of questions, including 255 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 3: how small are they all on one property? Are they separate? 256 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 3: She earns she reckons after expenses eighteen grand a year 257 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 3: off one of them and twenty four grand a year 258 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 3: off the other. So not a bad little money spinner. 259 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: Whether that includes your cleaning or whether she does it herself. 260 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: We'll have to ask her all about her business. So 261 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: Julie's on the show after five o'clock. The council says 262 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: she should have to pay commercial rates, which are three 263 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: point seven times more expensive. She's saying, no, I don't. 264 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 3: If you think about it, if I was to rent 265 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: my house out, it will airbnb my house out and 266 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 3: not live there. It would be the same number of 267 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 3: people using the roads and the pipes and everything that 268 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: would come with that. But if you're cramming twenty people 269 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 3: onto one property and using the council resources, then I 270 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: can maybe see an argument for it. Nine two nine 271 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 3: two is numbers text. She's on the show after five 272 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 3: twenty five after four now Rayenbridge. I found this an 273 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 3: interesting number because everyone said a few years ago, oh, 274 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: the Nissan leaf, and I you know this is going 275 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: to be the car of the future, and I took 276 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: it one look at it and I said, if that 277 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: is the car of the future, I want no part 278 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 3: of the future. Hideous thinks anyway, So everyone said these 279 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: tiny little evs, you know, you preus your little Honda 280 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: jazz E version, that these would be the future of cars. 281 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 3: And you said, well, around the world really, and some 282 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: really interesting numbers have come out today. Fifty four percent 283 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 3: of cars on the road in twenty twenty four are SUVs. 284 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: That number has gone up three percent on last year, 285 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: five percent on the year before that, and ninety five 286 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: percent of them are fossil fuel burning. No one really, 287 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: I mean, people say they care about climate change, but 288 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: they don't really when it comes down to it. When 289 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: it comes down to it, and they make their own 290 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: little decisions at home. They don't bother recycling and they 291 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 3: don't bother with an EV either. It's just the truth, 292 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: isn't it.

Great to see our friends arrived. 337 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 3: A SpaceX crew cap sut safely docking with the station. 338 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 3: The two stranded astronauts will be able to go home, 339 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 3: hopefully shortly after being stuck up there for about eight months. 340 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 3: Very very happy to see the new crew turn up indeed, 341 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 3: and finally this afternoon. You might remember a couple of 342 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 3: months ago, maybe it was a couple of weeks ago actually, 343 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: that we told you about this Michigan judge their plan 344 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 3: to force Shoplister's lot shoplifters to wash the cars as 345 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 3: part of their sentence. Well, that's been shut down. The 346 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: judge was going to get the shoplifters to return to 347 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: the walmart that they had stolen from and wash cars 348 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 3: in the car park in order to repay their debt 349 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 3: to society. Unfortunately, the local chief judge has vetoed the idea, 350 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 3: saying the punishment quote deviates from the usual and accepted methods. 351 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: The shoplifters will just have to do standard community service instead. 352 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance peace of mind 353 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 354 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 3: Olli Peters was with US six PR per Live presenter Oli. 355 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Good evening, Good afternoon, Ryan. Hey, this cyclone 356 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 3: Alfred has blown a pretty big hole in the federal budget. 357 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 9: What do you know, Yeah, one point two billion dollars. 358 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 10: The Treasurer Jim Chalmers is forecasting is he has to 359 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 10: hand down the budget next week. He wasn't going to 360 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 10: be doing this Sinceil Alfred hit and we would be 361 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 10: going towards a federal election. But they've had to do 362 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 10: a lot of work in the meantime to get this 363 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 10: budget up and ready for next Tuesday. But what is 364 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 10: still a blowing that hole in the budget is the 365 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 10: fact that there are still eligible one off payments for 366 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 10: a thousand dollars per adults are four hundred dollars per 367 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 10: child for those people who live in the flood affected 368 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 10: areas after Alfred, and the Treasure is saying that a 369 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 10: lot of money also has. 370 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 9: To be put towards rebuilding these communities. 371 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 10: So we'll see what he hands down next Tuesday. Looks 372 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 10: like he's softening us all up for perhaps not the 373 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 10: greatest set of numbers or books that he wanted to 374 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 10: reveal to the Australian public before going to that federal election. 375 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 3: Now, good luck to you if this happens. But the Greens, 376 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 3: if they hold the balance of power, will be considering 377 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: at least introducing a four day work week for a. 378 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 9: Set jam exactly. 379 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 10: And they think that this, I mean some trials done 380 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 10: I believe in the UK and Germany, Spain and Canada, 381 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 10: and they think it works well so they're not saying 382 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 10: that you need to work. Let's say you have a 383 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 10: forty hour work week. They're not saying that you work 384 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 10: those forty hours in four days. No, no, no, you 385 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 10: work only thirty two hours in the four days and 386 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 10: you'll just be more productive because Australians haven't had a 387 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 10: pay rise. 388 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 9: According to the Greens. And how's this they want to establish. 389 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 10: A national Institute for the four day work week at 390 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 10: a cost of ten million dollars per year. I don't 391 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 10: know what they would do, Ryan, apart from say, hey, 392 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 10: you now work four days a week. 393 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 9: What a job that would be? And I wonder if 394 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 9: you'd still have to turn up. 395 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 10: Four days a week for that particular job, Like why 396 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 10: would you need the red tape of a national institute 397 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 10: for the four day work week? But the thing is 398 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 10: everything the Greens say at the moment we have to 399 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 10: take seriously in this country because another poll out today 400 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 10: highlights the fact that we are looking at as though 401 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 10: we're heading towards minority government with at the Anthony Alberanezi 402 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 10: La government return to office. The poles are changing rapidly, 403 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 10: to be honest, Ryan, but the Greens themselves are also 404 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 10: looking like they're going to go backwards in the number 405 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 10: of seats, but they might hold the balance of power, 406 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 10: so they're going to throw everything at this at the moment, 407 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 10: and every policy needs to be properly scrutinized because Adam 408 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 10: Bank could have been the Deputy Prime Minister and therefore 409 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 10: anything that Green says could it not becoming national policy? 410 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 3: Goodness me, do you have a date yet still, Mark. 411 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 9: No, we don't. It has to be before May seventeen. 412 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 10: I'd the PM here on my show last week in 413 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 10: the studios, and I reckon, he's going full term because 414 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 10: we've got we've got Magic Crown in the Rugby League, 415 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 10: we've got gather Aud in the AFL. You don't want 416 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 10: to interrupt that stuff for a federal election, right, and 417 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 10: we've got Easter, So May seventeen, I reckon, all. 418 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: Right, we'll put it in a pencil in the calendar. Ollie, Hey, 419 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 3: this wom bat, this influenzer who grabbed the wombat was 420 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: going to go on the project apparently, but that's all 421 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 3: fallen through. What's happened here? 422 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, Sam Jones pulled out at the last minute 423 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 10: yesterday because she's drawn a lot of criticism for stealing 424 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 10: that baby warm back from its mother, but she said 425 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 10: on her Instagram account over the weekend she only picked 426 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 10: up the animal because she was afraid it would be 427 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 10: hit by a car. 428 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 9: This is what she's had to say. 429 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 11: What I did was an incredible mistake and there hasn't 430 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 11: been a moment I haven't regretted it. However, there's something 431 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 11: much bigger at play here and it would be a 432 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 11: disservice to ignoance. If this situation has proven anything, it's 433 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 11: proven that Australians care deeply about their wildlife, and that 434 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 11: is something I intensely admire. 435 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 12: Every year. 436 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 3: However, the Australian government issues. 437 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 11: Permits for the killing of thousands and thousands of wombats 438 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 11: across Australia, along with millions of kangaroos. 439 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 2: She's on team one bat. 440 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 3: Now come off, God, oh dear, do they presumably that's 441 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 3: that's peace control? Almost as the forty. 442 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 9: Much exactly right. 443 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 10: Look, you know what, though, I will say to her defense, 444 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 10: like to carry on in this country over the last 445 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 10: couple of weeks actually should have been reported. 446 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 9: We shouldn't have a here like you know, if we 447 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 9: turn the you know, not turn a blind eye. 448 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 10: But you know the other instances in this country of 449 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 10: things that are happening right in terms of rapes and 450 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 10: murders and criminals, and this is obviously the issue which 451 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 10: is really raised the eye of about politicians like come on. 452 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 3: Only you've been too serious.

I can 486 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 7: tell you that now. I mean, I've been to India 487 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 7: with so many Prime minists I've been with David Longie, 488 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 7: I've been with Helen Clark, I've been with John Key. 489 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 7: They all talked about trade agreements, but nothing came of them. 490 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 7: And I was going back to have a look at 491 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 7: what John Key was saying at the end of the 492 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 7: trip that he did there in two thousand and eleven, 493 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 7: and it was a statement that made at the end 494 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 7: they said the two prime ministers that's of New Zealand 495 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 7: and India reiterated the commitment to an early conclusion of 496 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 7: the three trade agreement negotiations, noting that the ongoing negotiations 497 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 7: were proceeding well. So they talked then about you know, 498 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 7: it was imminent, the ink was about to dry on 499 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 7: the paper and we would have been away laughing. Well, 500 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 7: the only one's laughing, of course, of the Indians, because 501 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 7: they won't do any trade agreement that involves certainly red 502 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 7: meat when it comes to cattle, because they respect their 503 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 7: cows in India to the extent that they are wandering 504 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 7: all over the place and causing traffic great problems. So 505 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 7: I know you're going to have Nathan guy on. I've 506 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 7: been on trade missions with Nathan in the past as well, 507 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 7: and he's from the red meat sector. Now he will 508 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 7: no doubt talk about sheep meat, but they won't be 509 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 7: talking about dairy. 510 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 3: By that time we went with Nathan Guy and had 511 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 3: we stopped off on was it Christmas Islands? Yes, indeed, 512 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 3: And remember we all got terribly sick on the plane. 513 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: Do you remember that well? I think many eight subway 514 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 3: I brought it on the plane. 515 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 7: Was a fit of generosity to my colleague. 516 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 3: He subway in Mexico. You don't buy Western food in Mexico. 517 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 3: And they had to quarantine one of the toilets. That 518 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 3: was that. 519 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 7: And I remember Nathan Guy were at Christmas Island looking 520 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 7: at the statues and I said, Nathan, your family has 521 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 7: obviously been here before. Now I have a straight face, 522 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 7: do a straight face. I'm going to take a photo. 523 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 7: I showed it to our producer law today and I 524 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 7: pulled back from the face of the east Ardent statue. 525 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 7: It was Nathan Guy to a team. 526 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 14: It was yeah, yeah, no. 527 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 3: So it was good fun apart from when you made 528 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 3: e un sick. 529 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 7: Very well, I know anyway, and total generosity. But look 530 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 7: the free trade agreement with India. When I think about 531 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 7: David Longee now in the mid eighties. In nineteen eighty five, 532 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 7: the year after they were voted into offers rubbed you. 533 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 7: Gandhy it might have been eighty six, came here, came 534 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 7: to New Zealand and he was a great mate of 535 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 7: David Longie's. 536 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 3: They signed a free trade agreement you're kidningmade. 537 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 15: Where is it now? 538 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: What's happened to it? I don't know. 539 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 7: It's obviously got lost in the annals of history somewhere. 540 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 3: But yeah, so well, well let's hope Luxon can can 541 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 3: only do what Gandhi couldn't. 542 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 7: Well, you know, I think look any growing of trade 543 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 7: with India's importance to It's a massive country, like we 544 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 7: said last week. 545 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 3: Now, so it's worth going there. Peters is in Washington, 546 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 3: d C. It is a big test of his diplomatic 547 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 3: skill set, which is considerable. 548 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you know when you consider it's almost twenty 549 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 7: years to the day that twins and Peters became Foreign Minister, 550 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 7: and that was under Helen Clark. So he's had plenty 551 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 7: of experience strutting the stage. But he's going to use 552 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 7: or need all those diplomatic skills in Washington this week 553 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 7: because I'm sure there will be meetings that he does 554 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 7: go to where he would like to probably say a 555 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 7: bit more that he knows he's got to keep mum 556 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 7: and keep on side with the Americans. And like tonight 557 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 7: in Washington, I've had dinner at the High Commissioner's resident, oh, sorry, 558 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 7: the Ambassador's residence, Rosemary Banks. Now she was brought out 559 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 7: of retirement to become our ambassador there because she had 560 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 7: been our ambassador there when Donald Trump was in last time. 561 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 7: And the head of Foreigner has also arrived in the country, 562 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 7: so they're really seeing this series of meetings that piece 563 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 7: of will begin tomorrow as being extraordinarily important. He doesn't 564 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 7: meet Rubio, the Secretary of State until Wednesday. In the meantime, 565 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 7: he's having some fairly high powered meetings.

What 661 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 3: were the issues? 662 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 19: Our dere's always been in a little bit problematic up here. 663 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 19: But this is a comprehensive agreement that the negotiation that started. 664 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 19: So the word comprehensive is critical. Australia got a side 665 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 19: deal a few years ago, but we're hoping that we 666 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 19: can get something across the line. For Derry, I guess 667 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 19: the challenge will be to do with Indians who want 668 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 19: to come down to our fantastic country and how the 669 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 19: government chooses to manage that. But if I put my 670 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 19: red meat hat on, in particular in the sheep market, Ryan, 671 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 19: this is a significant day for our sheep farmers and 672 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 19: our processes because we're at the start line. Yes, we've 673 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 19: been here before, but it feels different. We've got a 674 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 19: massive delegation up here about eighty and the business delegation, 675 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 19: and that's significant. The Prime Minister has got some great 676 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 19: FaceTime with Prime Minister Modi, so the feeling is different. 677 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 19: And of course right now the world is crazy, so 678 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 19: we need to keep diversifying and looking at new market opportunities. 679 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 3: Is that what's making it different? You know, the Trump 680 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 3: the way the rest of the world is behaving right now. 681 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 3: Do you think that might actually help our chances? Is 682 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 3: that what's contributing to that different feeling. 683 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 19: I don't think it is. And India is also negotiating 684 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 19: with EU, UK and US so there's a lot going 685 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 19: on in this space. We're smaller, you know, if you 686 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 19: look at what's happening up here with sheep meat at 687 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 19: the moment, we're facing a thirty percent tariff and that's 688 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 19: a massive headwind. So there's not a lot going on here. 689 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 19: There's one company, Quality and Z who's been pushing against 690 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 19: strong headwinds in this market with New Zealand cricketers helping 691 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 19: them to get access. So that's quite a success story, 692 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 19: but certainly at low levels. So it just feels different 693 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 19: because a we hear big business delegation. Todd McLay has 694 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 19: been working tirelessly on this. I think he's up to 695 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 19: about a seventh visit. 696 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 3: He had a. 697 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 19: Fantastic meeting yesterday with his equivalent, Minister Gal So it 698 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 19: feels like we've got momentum. Ryan, we're at the start line. 699 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 3: Very good, exciting. Yeah, good luck with that. Nathan guy 700 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 3: who's the Meat Industry Association share of course, former Minister 701 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 3: of Primary Industries had done a few trips himself. They 702 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 3: need to give McLay an Indian passport at this point. 703 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 3: He's done that much travel between New Zealand and there 704 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 3: over the last couple of months. Ten minutes after five 705 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 3: News Talk set b Brian. Wellington councils on the hunt 706 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 3: for more cash because obviously they bug of their books 707 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 3: and they need revenue. It's got owners of airbnb properties 708 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 3: in sight. Currently anyone who runs an airbnb pays residential rates, 709 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: but the council is considering whether to charge them commercial 710 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 3: rates instead. Now that is three point seven times the bill. 711 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 3: This would mean rates for those properties could treble. Airbnb 712 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 3: hosts are worried they'll soon be without a business and 713 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 3: one example something this woman says she would be out 714 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 3: of business. Judy Wilson owns an Airbnb. She's also the 715 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 3: Airbnb Volunteer Community leader for Wellington. 716 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 15: Hi, Julie Suorder, how are you? 717 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 3: Yeah? Good? Thank you, thanks for coming on the show. 718 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 3: How many for most people do they airbnb their own 719 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 3: house and do they are they therefore not living there 720 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 3: when the airbnb is staying. 721 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 16: Most actually airbnb their houses when they're away, so it's 722 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 16: primarily their family home and if they go on holiday 723 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 16: or if they're away, they'll airbnb their space. We also 724 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 16: have some hosts that works. They work out of Wellington 725 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 16: a few days a week or work in Wellington either way, 726 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 16: and they've got a home in Wellington and they will 727 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 16: rent out in Airbnb for that portion of the time 728 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 16: when they're away. 729 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 3: Right, what's your rate? What would your rates bill changed 730 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 3: to if this went ahead? 731 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 16: Oh, it's something around the forty thousand dollar mark. So 732 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 16: it would just mean we wouldn't it would you know, 733 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 16: it's well over what would even earn anything like that. 734 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 16: So myself and many hosts like me would just stop hosting. 735 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 16: We had just incorporate the Airbnb that's in the bow 736 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 16: of our house back into being our house, which I 737 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 16: mean it's used by my family when it's not being 738 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 16: used by an Airbnb, So that would kind of be 739 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 16: lost to the Wellington market. You know, all that money 740 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 16: that comes in from you know, having hosts, sorry, guests 741 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 16: come and stay with us. 742 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 3: Right, what's your what's your rates at the moment? 743 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 16: Just over eleven thousand, right, So I mean because they've 744 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 16: gone up, they've gone up, Wellington has gone up so 745 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 16: much recently, we've actually had more hosts coming on just 746 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 16: to be able to pay you know, pay their rates. 747 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, and potentially get stung by this. Okay, So here's 748 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 3: the argument. If you're what you're doing is a commercial 749 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 3: activity and you're you know, presumably your guests would be 750 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 3: using the roads and using the sewage and using the pipes, 751 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 3: et cetera. That the councils so justify why it shouldn't. 752 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 16: Be Well, they're not using it for any more than 753 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 16: what a normal house is intended. It's not like we're 754 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 16: you know, squeezing fifteen people into a two bedroom. It 755 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 16: would the same amount, you know. I think they keep 756 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,760 Speaker 16: talking about the goal is to slice the rates pie fairly, 757 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 16: but charging sort of small part time hosts for commercial 758 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 16: rates is not really fair. Its success us, like many 759 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 16: of us kind of rate rent occasionally, not as a 760 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 16: full time business. But they're going to be treating us 761 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 16: the same as a hotel with hundreds of rooms kind 762 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 16: of overkills. 763 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's what they might call 764 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 3: extortion actually, Julie. 765 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 16: Yeah, and you know Wellington we need airbnbs like we 766 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 16: need them, like this weekend we had Homegrown and we 767 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 16: had the week fix triathlon. Hotels just won't meet the demand. 768 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 16: So there's certain times packs for world yeah, you know, 769 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 16: World of Wearable Arts, rugby games. 770 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 15: But I also look, I've. 771 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,879 Speaker 3: Got family in Wellington. I know exactly what you're talking about. 772 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 3: You need you don't need somewhere else, You don't need options. Julie, 773 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 3: what do you think just because I've got you on 774 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 3: the line and you're from Wellington, what do you think 775 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 3: is going to happen with Is anyone going to vote 776 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 3: for Tori Finales? 777 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 16: She gone, well, I think she's probably gone. 778 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay, good to know, Good to check him on 779 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 3: the pulse. Julie, thank you for that. Take care, good 780 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 3: luck with your fight. Julie Wilson, Airbnb owner. If the 781 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 3: council gets its way, their rates would go from about 782 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 3: eleven thousand to forty thousand a year. Fourteen minutes after 783 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 3: five News talk ZIB. Remember the Warriors game and remember 784 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 3: the deputy coach that got himself into trouble grabbing the throat, 785 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 3: allegedly grabbing the throat of a journalist. Well, his punishment 786 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 3: has been handed down. We'll tell you what it is 787 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,399 Speaker 3: next News Talk zb It is seventeen minutes after five 788 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 3: loads of texts coming in on Airbnb's Ryan. The airbnb 789 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 3: owners shouldn't have to pay anything other than residential if 790 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 3: they are releasing out or short term renting. The same 791 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 3: number of beds in their house that they would otherwise occupy. 792 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 3: I tend to agree with that position. In terms of 793 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 3: the students down in a University of Otago who were 794 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 3: burning the couches and drinking the booze. Ryan, are my 795 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 3: two grandkids who are at Canterbury represented. So Ryan, my 796 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 3: two grandkids who are at Canterbury have gone down and 797 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 3: joined the two grandkids at Dunedin. Great. They are having 798 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 3: such a good time. Everything is just so negative at 799 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,879 Speaker 3: the moment. What a lovely grandmother, Janed, go and burn 800 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,959 Speaker 3: the couches, kids, I've got no problems. Eighteen after five 801 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 3: grayam Bridge. The NRL has issued a breach notice. 802 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 15: Sorry. 803 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 3: The NRL has issued a breach notice to Warriors assistant 804 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 3: coach Richard Agar after an altercation with a journalist during 805 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 3: the first NRL round in Las Vegas. You'll remember this. 806 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 3: It was in the news. The Big League podcast host 807 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 3: Nathan Limmers with us, good afternoon, Hey Ryan, how are 808 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,439 Speaker 3: you good? Thank you? So he grabbed him by the throat, 809 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,439 Speaker 3: didn't he Yeah? 810 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 20: So basically at halftime between the Warriors and the Raiders, 811 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 20: Richard Ago and the other coaches were descending down to 812 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 20: see the place from the coach's box, and it's alleged 813 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 20: that Richard Agar got into a verbal altercation with an 814 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,720 Speaker 20: Australian journalist from the Guardian which resulted in him grabbing 815 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 20: him by the throat and pushing him. So the NRAL 816 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,479 Speaker 20: have launched an investigation into this. The Warriors of Coach 817 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 20: and CEO both backed Agar after this sort of came out, 818 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 20: and so they've issued this breach notice suspending him for 819 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 20: three games ten thousand dollars fine, and he has to 820 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 20: undergo I guess some education of some sort of education 821 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 20: course around this sort of thing. 822 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,720 Speaker 3: Not grabbing throat. Not grabbing throats would be the lesson 823 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 3: that he needs to learn. So this has come from 824 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 3: the NRL because I found it interesting that Warrior said 825 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 3: we're going to do our own investigation. What does that 826 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:37,720 Speaker 3: mean nothing? 827 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 20: Well, I mean I guess that means they'll they talk 828 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 20: to Agar and get his side of the storm. 829 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 3: They didn't do anything, did they. 830 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 20: Well we don't know exactly what has gone on behind 831 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 20: the scenes, but the effectively what this band means is 832 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 20: the suspension means that he can't perform assistant coaching duties 833 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 20: on match days, so we can still be with the 834 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 20: team during the week, and he can't travel to the 835 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 20: team for their array games within this three game period. 836 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 20: So there are two away games coming up against this 837 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 20: Tigers and the Storm, he won't be able to make 838 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 20: the trip over right. 839 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 3: What's the Warrior saying about it? You've checked them? 840 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 20: Yeah, So I've just reached out to the Warriors and 841 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 20: have just got back to me saying that they have 842 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 20: no response to this breach. Notice, they have five days 843 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 20: to respond. They're not going to respond, which effectively means 844 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 20: they accept it and they're not going to appeal it. 845 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 3: Okay, interesting, Thanks so much for that, Nathan.

I don't think anyone thinks that, 876 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 3: So why are we making a big deal out of it? Equally, 877 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 3: why did anyone make a big deal out of day 878 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 3: David Seymour saying he wanted to put fireworks under the 879 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 3: Ministry of Pacific Peoples or whatever.

It 883 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 3: was just a joke that I made. Well, then why 884 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 3: are you making a big deal out of this? If 885 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 3: you each keep making big deals out of each other's nonsense, 886 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 3: then a bigger deal will be made every time. I 887 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 3: think we just can we not? We'll just see something 888 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 3: for what it is, no matter what side of politics 889 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,800 Speaker 3: you're on, have a laugh and move on.

The regulations up the wazoos, 896 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 3: so now no one can breathe. Everyone's suffocating inside. Apparently 897 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 3: not so. The Building Research Association has some numbers. They'll 898 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,240 Speaker 3: bring them to myself to fire. We've got Tim Wilson 899 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,239 Speaker 3: and Mark Sainsbury on the huddle. They will debate the 900 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 3: airbnb business as she lots of your texts on that. 901 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,959 Speaker 3: Got time for a couple here, Ryan Auckland. Council makes 902 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 3: me pay business rates for a one bedroom apartment I airbnb. 903 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 3: I use the apartment half the month for commuting for work, 904 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 3: and then I rented out when I'm not there no 905 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 3: allowance for my private use. It is extortion as the 906 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,239 Speaker 3: person in the apartment utilizes the same services that I do, 907 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 3: says Dan Dan, I tend to agree with you. What 908 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 3: difference does it make to the council whether it's you 909 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 3: use flushing the toilet or whether it's Barbara staying from Wonaica. 910 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 3: It makes no difference to them, So that does annoy me. 911 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 3: I The only question I have is why did you 912 00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 3: tell them? I mean, in all seriousness, I'm curious how 913 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 3: would the council know that it was Barbara from Wanaka's 914 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,400 Speaker 3: stay in the night there and not you do they 915 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:07,399 Speaker 3: come knocking. 916 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,879 Speaker 21: The probably look on Airbnb to be fair on that one, right, 917 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 21: I suppose people they well, you don't have an address 918 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 21: on Airbnb? 919 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 3: That's the thing, Oh do you not? Only once you 920 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 3: make a booking will they tell you what the address is. 921 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 3: The rest is all a bit aloof So. 922 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 21: What we're saying is what the Falkland Council wants to 923 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,840 Speaker 21: crack down on this. What they need to do is 924 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 21: a sign an investigator to basically stay in every Airbnb 925 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,280 Speaker 21: in the city and work out where. 926 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 3: They are pretty much or they rely on the honesty 927 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 3: of good people like Dan Dan who's paying commercial I mean, 928 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 3: I'd hate to think what that would be. It's three 929 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 3: point seven times residential in Wellington. Mentionine what it would 930 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 3: be in Auckland.

The permanent one next door drives 945 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 3: me crazy, says this texter, after five years of misbehavior. 946 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 3: Guests are much better. The constant comings and goings and unnerving, 947 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,760 Speaker 3: including those necessary for the business. But the owner works 948 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,800 Speaker 3: hard to make it a business and it's open to 949 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 3: other neighbors, staying in touch if needed. It's probably nimbiism 950 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,280 Speaker 3: of me, but I'd rather a stable renter or owner 951 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 3: on my desk doorstep. It sounds like a very reasonable 952 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,240 Speaker 3: response from you, because if you have a genuinely horrific 953 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,840 Speaker 3: Airbnb next to your house, it can be an absolute nightmare. 954 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 3: You just don't get any sleep. I know that because 955 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 3: I've been I've been in one of the people in 956 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 3: the horrific Airbnb business kept the neighbors awake one night. 957 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 3: That yeah, probably not a good thing. I'll be going 958 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 3: to help that twenty four minutes away from. 959 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 2: Six Ryan Bridge. 960 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,839 Speaker 3: Okay, David Seymour and Darby Y two TI, it's all 961 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 3: on again. He's with us now, David, good afternoon, good evening. 962 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:51,839 Speaker 13: Well, good evening, And actually it's not all on. One 963 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 13: person has made an objectionable comment. That's it. Okay, So 964 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 13: what's to imply that most parties are somehow guilty of 965 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 13: totally misleading? 966 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,399 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well I'm sorry for misleading everybody. David, 967 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 3: what's what's what's your problem with this? 968 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 13: Well, look, I just make the point that if you 969 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 13: go out on social media and say that you know 970 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 13: you're mowing your lawns and you think that you're going 971 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 13: to treat the lawns like David Seymour and they need 972 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 13: a good hiding, or any other political figure or any person, 973 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 13: I just think if we all know, if I was 974 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 13: to say that about another politician, I'm sure it'd be 975 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 13: leading the news for three or four nights. But the 976 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 13: sad reality is that we now have a political party 977 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,280 Speaker 13: in New Zealand that is race based, that preaches violence. 978 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 13: This is not the first time that preaches racial supremacy, 979 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 13: and unfortunately we've all been giving them an easy pass 980 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 13: because we hold them to lower standards because the Maori. 981 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 13: And it's it's horrible to say all that, but I 982 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 13: don't know how else you've describe the situation. 983 00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 3: Can you not just sit there and have a laugh 984 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,800 Speaker 3: and think, oh, he's just having a joke, you know, 985 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 3: like you did with the Ministry Pacific people's I mean 986 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 3: I looked at that and I thought, he's just having 987 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 3: a joke. That's kind of funny. I don't think David 988 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 3: Seymour was a terrorist. Do you think they already white 989 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 3: white to he's a murderer. No, so let's just have 990 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:16,840 Speaker 3: a laugh. Move on. 991 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 13: Well, there's a bit of a plausibility question. If your 992 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 13: argument is that I was going to disinter a guy 993 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,320 Speaker 13: from four hundred years ago who had a failed plots, 994 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 13: you know, there were many layers of irony in that, 995 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 13: and I disowned it as soon as I said it. 996 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 13: On the other hand, you know you've got someone who's saying, well, 997 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 13: I think a person should get a good hiding. That 998 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 13: actually is plausible. There's people out there that probably think 999 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 13: that they should attack people that they disagree with physically, 1000 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,239 Speaker 13: so that there is actually a big difference in plausibility. 1001 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 13: One is so obviously ridiculous, so the other ones not. 1002 00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, let's move on very quickly. I want 1003 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 3: to ask you, David, sorry, Christopher Luxen was asked over 1004 00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 3: in India overnight about the coalition if they're willing to 1005 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 3: do with Ukraine. I'm interested to know would you, as 1006 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 3: the act party. I know that you have been the 1007 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 3: party in particular has been big in supporting Ukraine, support 1008 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,239 Speaker 3: New Zealand troops being on the ground, and in any 1009 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 3: way that they can be supportive to some sort of 1010 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:14,760 Speaker 3: peace resolution. 1011 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 13: Well, a couple of things. First of all, there actually 1012 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 13: has to be a post conflict situation and then there 1013 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,520 Speaker 13: has to be a coalition at the moment. Neither of 1014 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 13: those things are true. However, the New Zealand government has 1015 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,840 Speaker 13: been participating in discussions with a number of other militaries 1016 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 13: twenty or thirty other militaries in Europe about what that 1017 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 13: might look like. Once there's a proposition on the table, 1018 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 13: then I think we as a government could start to 1019 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 13: make a decision about what that looks like. I think, 1020 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 13: on balance, you know, this is not the government policy. 1021 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,800 Speaker 13: We haven't discussed this, but I think New Zealand is 1022 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 13: a country that cannot defend itself alone. We must rely 1023 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 13: on to of security, defending ourselves in line with other 1024 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,479 Speaker 13: countries who share our values, and that of course means 1025 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,359 Speaker 13: that as we have in the past and two World 1026 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 13: Wars and many other conflicts, it means that sometimes we 1027 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,919 Speaker 13: must join such coalitions. I just hate that there isn't 1028 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 13: one yet, but that's been traditionally our stances as a country. 1029 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 3: David, thank you very much for your time, the party leader, 1030 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 3: David C. 1031 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:23,759 Speaker 2: Thank you. 1032 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 3: Twinning away from six the. 1033 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,720 Speaker 2: Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty. 1034 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 3: Find your one of a kind on the heart of tonight. 1035 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,680 Speaker 3: Tim Wilson from the Maximum Institute, Hey Tim. 1036 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:36,879 Speaker 15: Hey Ryan, how's it going? 1037 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? Good? Thank you? Mark Sainsbury's here broadcaster in Wellington. 1038 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 3: Hey Mark, how you Ryan? Look, I've got a lot 1039 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 3: of respect for David Seymour, but I just find it 1040 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,320 Speaker 3: a little exasperating when you're going tip the tattle on 1041 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 3: something so stupid. Tim, What do you think? Yeah? 1042 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,760 Speaker 23: I can you know I was I was sexually affecting 1043 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 23: as you did your editorial. There is sort of like 1044 00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 23: a bit of a dysfunctional relationship between two party, my 1045 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 23: and act. 1046 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 15: You sort of wonder who needs the other more I do. 1047 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:05,759 Speaker 23: I do take David's point though, that it was quite 1048 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,400 Speaker 23: it was personal, and if something did happen to David Seymour, 1049 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 23: I think we'd backtrack. The one thing that I want 1050 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,800 Speaker 23: to land on here is that I noticed that Waits 1051 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 23: in his Instagram story he used an adjective beginning with 1052 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 23: F that was misspelled, And I have to say, this 1053 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,720 Speaker 23: is probably why many charter schools, because people just aren't 1054 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 23: spelling things properly. 1055 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 3: I think it was misspelled on purpose, wasn't it? 1056 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:31,959 Speaker 2: Mark? 1057 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,960 Speaker 3: What about you? What do you reckon earth to Mark? 1058 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 3: Are you there? Mark? You've muted yourself with check bones? 1059 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:44,279 Speaker 15: It always helps? 1060 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 3: There, you go, Yeah, he's canceled. 1061 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 15: He's canceled himself. 1062 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,319 Speaker 24: No, my big problems have got a bony year, which 1063 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 24: sort of when I first looked at this, I must 1064 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 24: say I did sort of think, look, if someone. 1065 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,080 Speaker 15: Else had said this or suggested that, people would be 1066 00:55:59,160 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 15: up in arms. 1067 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,759 Speaker 24: But I was really in disciplined your editorial, same as Tim, 1068 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,719 Speaker 24: because it did sort of clarify the thinking. I mean, 1069 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,040 Speaker 24: you look at it and you go, oh, look for 1070 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,760 Speaker 24: God's sake and they're talking about giving the grass a hiding, 1071 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 24: like David Seymour, and we know that they don't mean that, 1072 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 24: I mean, boy boy, instead of everyone's sort of so 1073 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,439 Speaker 24: trigger happy on anything. You can't say a thing without 1074 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 24: it being so Look, I think, yeah, I think there's 1075 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 24: a bit of sort of give and take. 1076 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 15: Was it the smartest thing to do? 1077 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: No? 1078 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 24: No, not necessarily, but yeah, I just think we're getting 1079 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,600 Speaker 24: all sort of wound up over something. 1080 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,719 Speaker 3: I can understand why. I can understand why though, because 1081 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,239 Speaker 3: David Seymour is always the target, right, so when he 1082 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 3: says something, their immediate response is of David Seymour's a racist. Now, 1083 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 3: I imagine that after a while that must get incredibly frustrating. 1084 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,800 Speaker 3: You'd start to feel down about it. And after a 1085 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 3: while you probably do lose a bit of your sense 1086 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 3: of humor too, and everything becomes quite reactive, you know, tim, Yeah, and. 1087 00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,919 Speaker 23: That's a Look, that's the danger with the whole extreme 1088 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 23: and polarized. That's why polarization sort of mode that we're in. 1089 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 23: And unfortunately MMP does tend to reward that, particularly for 1090 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,799 Speaker 23: you know, plus five percent parties. The way I'm going 1091 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 23: to look at this is it's just two blokes who 1092 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 23: don't know how to show affection. Showing affection. 1093 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:17,240 Speaker 3: You should. 1094 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 15: You could form little support groups of them maybe, but. 1095 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 2: Me and Ryan will do it. 1096 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,800 Speaker 3: There's a lot of love and support for David Seyma 1097 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 3: on the text machine. David is absolutely right Ryan, he 1098 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 3: is absolutely spot on as always, so a lot of 1099 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,640 Speaker 3: people backing him and supporting him, which is good, good 1100 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 3: for him. I suppose seventeen minutes away from six News 1101 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,680 Speaker 3: Talks he be Tim Wilson and Mark Sainsbury will get 1102 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,919 Speaker 3: into the big topics of today's uddle. 1103 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 1: Next the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the 1104 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,640 Speaker 1: ones with local and global reach. 1105 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,919 Speaker 3: Tim Wilson and Mark Sansbury on the huddle tonight.

You can decide for us 1108 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 3: about the ed BMB debarcle. This woman who might have 1109 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 3: to pay commercial rates on an Airbnb at home, what 1110 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 3: do you say, Oh. 1111 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 15: Look, it's just nuts. 1112 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 24: I mean you look, it's going to go to the 1113 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 24: You know that they are going to have a look 1114 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 24: at this, and that's one of the options that people 1115 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 24: pay full commercial rates. 1116 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:18,160 Speaker 15: But you know the rates in the city. You're just crazy. 1117 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 15: I had some sympathy listening to. 1118 00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 24: Your guest on before is at Duly because our rates 1119 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 24: went up I think, you know, like from about six 1120 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 24: to nine grand and then they drop the value of 1121 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 24: our properties by twenty percent. 1122 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 15: So there's a lot of people that have to look 1123 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:34,919 Speaker 15: at sort of spreading it out. 1124 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 24: And the thing I don't get is if I buy 1125 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,640 Speaker 24: a house and then rent it out, you know, to 1126 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 24: a bunch of students or whatever, is that a commercial enterprise. 1127 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 24: I'm not paying commercial rates on that. If I have someone, 1128 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 24: you know, if I get in a flatmate or a 1129 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 24: border you're not paying commercial rates. 1130 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 15: But if you're doing you know, one of your rooms 1131 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 15: for and that's where it's silly. 1132 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,320 Speaker 24: If you're only doing a couple of rooms for Airbnb 1133 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 24: or just doing it occasionally, it just makes them do 1134 00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 24: an absolute nonsense. So a lot of sympathy, a lot 1135 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 24: a lot of sympathy for Emma read she did a 1136 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 24: found out if you saw the video, she did a 1137 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,920 Speaker 24: fantastic video to the council with lots of props I think, 1138 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 24: which is always useful. 1139 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that because you make a good point 1140 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 3: about renters. This is this just REGs because there's not 1141 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 3: extra any extra drain on resources for the council. This 1142 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 3: is just they need some more money, so they're going 1143 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 3: into fishing. 1144 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,320 Speaker 15: Yeah, it seems like that. And you sort of think 1145 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 15: the with airbnb. 1146 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 23: I mean, if it's if it's a commercial I understand 1147 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 23: commercial building. Oh okay, so they use the toilet a 1148 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 23: lot more, use the shower a lot more, whatever it 1149 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 23: is the infrastructure. But airbnbs aren't always occupied, so it 1150 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,600 Speaker 23: seems manifestly unfair to increase, you know, increase the rates 1151 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 23: by four times because you're operating in airbnb, so you know, 1152 00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 23: and look at if it's a business. If you do 1153 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 23: a home office, you get a tax rebate. You say, oh, 1154 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 23: this is a business area, and the tax goes back. 1155 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 23: So it just seems upside down. 1156 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,520 Speaker 24: See, there's big problems, right I'm sane Queenstown where a 1157 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 24: lot of people converted their places to airb and b's 1158 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,800 Speaker 24: and it cut out the available rentals for people working 1159 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 24: there and all that sort of cause major issues. And 1160 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 24: you can see them having they have a look at that. 1161 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:13,840 Speaker 24: This is this is this is a different scenario. It's 1162 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,440 Speaker 24: not the same sort of numbers in Wellington or same 1163 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 24: proportion of properties converting. 1164 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 15: To AIRB and B. 1165 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,760 Speaker 24: So yeah, it does look like that they're desperate for 1166 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,480 Speaker 24: Doe and they're gonna they're going to screw it out 1167 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 24: of anyone they can find. 1168 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 15: There you go vote vote for saying so. 1169 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 3: Run it's going to say, can you please confirm that 1170 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 3: that will be item number one on your campaign? Hey, 1171 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 3: people are deciding against going on holiday in the United 1172 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 3: States because of Donald Trump. Apparently Apparently people saying they'll 1173 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,560 Speaker 3: leave the country because you know, in terms of emigrate 1174 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 3: because they are sick of them. But would you avoid 1175 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,280 Speaker 3: going on a holiday? If anything, it would make things 1176 01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 3: more interesting? I would have thought, tim. 1177 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:01,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, well exactly. 1178 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,760 Speaker 23: And if they're going because they think Trump's unaccepted, or 1179 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 23: where are they going to go? I mean, I hear 1180 01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 23: Russia is nice at this time of year, the Kimchi 1181 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,240 Speaker 23: and North Korea is quite good. And they're saying they're saying, 1182 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 23: actually that the Chinese visitors is down. So wait, so 1183 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,000 Speaker 23: they're coming from a country that has concentration camps for 1184 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:20,280 Speaker 23: wigas and they're assuing America because of Donald Trump. 1185 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 15: Oh boy, go and check your compass. 1186 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 24: Well, the Germans have got a bit of a different 1187 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 24: view in it because there's a couple of German terrorists 1188 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 24: were detained after trying to enter the United States legally 1189 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:37,680 Speaker 24: and they were detained for weeks and it's caused a 1190 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 24: big stink in Europe. So and a lot of Germans 1191 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 24: are now reconsidering what to do. Would it stop me 1192 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,320 Speaker 24: from going on holiday and doing something in the Star? 1193 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:46,960 Speaker 24: I mean, I love going to the States. I think 1194 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 24: the States so it's a bit like India, you know, 1195 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 24: you go to a different state every time, it's like 1196 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,840 Speaker 24: visiting a different country. But look, they had this when 1197 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 24: George w got in. There were people saying, you know, 1198 01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 24: in the States, same thing, We're going to leave. 1199 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 5: Here and going to come back for four years and 1200 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,880 Speaker 5: all that sort of stuff never happened, never happened like 1201 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 5: everyone sort of thought was going to And I think 1202 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,120 Speaker 5: it's just although the numbers are seen to be showing 1203 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 5: that people are that are crying off going there, but 1204 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,479 Speaker 5: mainly from people who feel as. 1205 01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:14,720 Speaker 15: Though they could be targeted. 1206 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 24: And with this whole sort of immigration sweeps, like these 1207 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,439 Speaker 24: poor whole German tourists, you wouldn't want to get caught 1208 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 24: up in it. 1209 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,440 Speaker 15: But would that stop me? 1210 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,240 Speaker 3: No, no, since you were the US correspond In fact, 1211 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:28,439 Speaker 3: were both of you US correspondents. 1212 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 15: I was the europe one. 1213 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 3: Ah, that's right. It's interesting. I was thinking about the 1214 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 3: United States. Why don't they just not be the United States? 1215 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,440 Speaker 3: They get so divided to be better on this, they 1216 01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:42,920 Speaker 3: get so divided, why not just break up? I mean, 1217 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 3: for goodness sake, misery. 1218 01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,760 Speaker 23: There is actually a guy called political thinker called Samuel 1219 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 23: Huntington that says that this is the way that America 1220 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 23: stops political decay, the sort of there's a productive friction 1221 01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 23: in this disunity and you know the whole Oh, you know, 1222 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 23: all the polarization is terrible. I don't know if Americans 1223 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,400 Speaker 23: always think it's a terrible thing. I think they've got 1224 01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,520 Speaker 23: a different disposition to us down here in New Zealand. 1225 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 3: It's interesting because by now, I mean if they were 1226 01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 3: if they were a married couple, it'd be that bad 1227 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 3: for the children. Someone would be asking for a divorce. 1228 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:22,640 Speaker 23: You know what I mean, no nonsense, but have eighteen children. 1229 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,960 Speaker 9: Friction producers love Brian, Oh god. 1230 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 3: Tim thank you. Timinson with the maximums deject and Mark 1231 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 3: Sainsbury broadcast out of Wellington for US tonight, nine minutes 1232 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 3: away from six year on News Talks, he'd be now 1233 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:40,160 Speaker 3: the recession. Don't worry, we won't be in one, hopefully 1234 01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,480 Speaker 3: if the economists aren't to be believed. But we've got 1235 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 3: a GDP figure coming out on Thursday. RB and z's 1236 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,560 Speaker 3: expecting point three. A and z's expecting point four. Westpac 1237 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 3: expecting point five, although they reckon'll actually be more like zero. 1238 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 3: So there's this weird disconnect between what wes PAC believes 1239 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 3: the number will be and what will be announced on 1240 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 3: Thursday and what the number actually will be. You might 1241 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,280 Speaker 3: notice the last time we got a number it was 1242 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 3: months later revised down and then down again. So how 1243 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,640 Speaker 3: accurate will the number be on Thursday? A question for 1244 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,439 Speaker 3: Nikola Willis who's here after six? 1245 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dupla c Allen Drive Full Show podcast 1246 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News TALKSB. 1247 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,000 Speaker 3: News Talks HERB.

Positive territory 1253 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 3: is anything above fifty, So that's not good for us. Now. Importantly, 1254 01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:51,080 Speaker 3: two thirds of our economy, including all of our tourism, 1255 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 3: all of our retail, and all of our hospitality are 1256 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 3: measured in this index. So for us to finally get 1257 01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 3: back to a positive number only to then dip to 1258 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:00,880 Speaker 3: a negative again is not a good Nicola willis on 1259 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:01,560 Speaker 3: that after. 1260 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 2: Six Bryan Bridge. 1261 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,480 Speaker 3: The submarine cable that we have.

It's good 1315 01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:07,000 Speaker 12: to see manufacturing was up again and that is expanding again. 1316 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:07,960 Speaker 12: That's really positive. 1317 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of forecasts about global growth being 1318 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 3: hit by Trump's trade teriffs. Have you had any advice 1319 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,520 Speaker 3: on the potential effect on New Zealand's economy. 1320 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,839 Speaker 12: Yet, Yes, I have. Look, there are a couple of effects. 1321 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 12: The first is what you've seen in international debt and 1322 01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 12: bond markets is that the price of borrowing has gone up, 1323 01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,280 Speaker 12: so there's no escaping that. For New Zealand. We're having 1324 01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,040 Speaker 12: to borrow funds to service the debt we built up 1325 01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 12: during COVID, and so the interest fee on that is 1326 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,080 Speaker 12: likely to increase. The second thing that's harder to predict 1327 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 12: is if we see a slow down in global growth, 1328 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 12: how does that slow down effect New Zealand. Well, it 1329 01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,720 Speaker 12: depends which markets it effects and whether our exports get 1330 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:50,800 Speaker 12: lower prices as a result, and that's very hard to know. 1331 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 12: So our forecasters are looking into all of the detail 1332 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,760 Speaker 12: and I won't get their final assumptions on that after 1333 01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 12: a little while. 1334 01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 3: Yet, what have they told you is top line potential 1335 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:02,479 Speaker 3: figures between what and what. 1336 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,960 Speaker 12: They haven't given me those figures yet, Ryan, because they 1337 01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,680 Speaker 12: are the first to say there are really dynamic effects here. 1338 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,160 Speaker 12: On the one hand, we might get some positive upside 1339 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 12: in some markets where we might be getting higher prices. Perversely, 1340 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,519 Speaker 12: inflation can have a positive impact for some exports and 1341 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 12: for some markets. On the other hand, if we see 1342 01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:25,519 Speaker 12: decline in global growth, that could affect our trade position 1343 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 12: as well. 1344 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 9: So they are very. 1345 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,439 Speaker 12: Careful to say to me, there's things on one side 1346 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 12: of the ledger, there's things on the other side of 1347 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,840 Speaker 12: the ledger. We'll tell you how we think it's all 1348 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,519 Speaker 12: going to pan out later on, when we're closer to 1349 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 12: the budget for casts being put to bed. 1350 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 3: Speaking of which, this is really putting the squeeze on you, 1351 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 3: isn't it. You've got your debt servicing costs going up, 1352 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 3: thank you Trump, and potentially your revenue via export revenue 1353 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,320 Speaker 3: taxes being cut at the same time. How do you 1354 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 3: put a budget together? 1355 01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 12: Well, it's a challenging time to put a budget together 1356 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,720 Speaker 12: because we are still in a mode of having to 1357 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 12: consolidate our financial position after years of spending much more 1358 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 12: than we earned, so we are in a tight environment. 1359 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 12: We're also having to meet some really significant commitments. We 1360 01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,960 Speaker 12: do need to increase our investment and defense and foreign 1361 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 12: affairs capability. We do need to provide for some redress 1362 01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,800 Speaker 12: for those survivors of abuse and state care, whom the 1363 01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 12: Royal Commission reported on last year. We need a big 1364 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 12: uplift and funding for our health system. Our schools need 1365 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,479 Speaker 12: an uplift and funding. Our police need an uplift and funding. 1366 01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 12: So our challenge is to meet all of those costs 1367 01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,559 Speaker 12: within a tide operating environment. The only way we will 1368 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 12: do that is by finding savings and areas where we're 1369 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,360 Speaker 12: not getting maximum impact for the public dollar. We've been 1370 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,000 Speaker 12: working on that for months, so we're in a good 1371 01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 12: position right now. I'm confident we'll deliver it to New 1372 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 12: Zealander's priorities. 1373 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,560 Speaker 3: Can you give us can you set us an expectation 1374 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,280 Speaker 3: of what exactly your cut. 1375 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,040 Speaker 12: Look, what we've done is we've looked across government, both 1376 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 12: at an individual department or agency level and at a 1377 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 12: cross government as a whole. We've said, not just so 1378 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,640 Speaker 12: much what are the areas that are completely wasteful, but 1379 01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 12: where are the areas where there was a good intention 1380 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,000 Speaker 12: But actually, when we measure it up in the cold 1381 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 12: light of day, these dollars are not delivering as much 1382 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 12: as they could elsewhere. So there's a number of areas 1383 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 12: we've looked at will make them all clear on budget day. 1384 01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 12: But one thing is a theme of the budget, which 1385 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,640 Speaker 12: is that the public service isn't going to get more 1386 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:24,400 Speaker 12: funding for doing the same thing. There is only more 1387 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,160 Speaker 12: funding if New Zealanders are going to benefit from additional 1388 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 12: services or improved impact from those services. 1389 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 3: Will you do away with entire departments or agencies. 1390 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,600 Speaker 12: That's not on the agenda for this budget because the 1391 01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,439 Speaker 12: judgment that we've made at the stage is that could 1392 01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 12: end up costing us more in the short term than 1393 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 12: we would deliverance savings. 1394 01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,160 Speaker 3: Okay, so you've got basically got to make a whole 1395 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,880 Speaker 3: bunch of cuts, which I think a lot of people 1396 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 3: will completely understand at a time like this. What about 1397 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 3: revenue measures? Can you rule out new revenue measures that 1398 01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 3: will hit people sneakily in the back pocket? 1399 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,400 Speaker 12: Well, I have already been very open that we are 1400 01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:07,559 Speaker 12: currently consulting on changes to the charities system, the way 1401 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 12: that charities are taxed. We want to keep the charity 1402 01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,320 Speaker 12: system strong, but there are a few integrity issues that 1403 01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,719 Speaker 12: are popped up there. So that is on our revenue agenda. 1404 01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 12: But look, I'm acutely conscious that the cost of living 1405 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 12: is the number one concern for most key we so 1406 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,920 Speaker 12: we're working very hard to make sure this is a 1407 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 12: budget that helps their back pocket, doesn't harm it. 1408 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:31,840 Speaker 3: So no extra levy increases, you know, no tourist visitor 1409 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 3: levy increases, no congestion charging in this one. No bed 1410 01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 3: tax is coming for the councils, no motor vehicle charge increases, 1411 01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 3: nothing like that. 1412 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,960 Speaker 12: Well, there's no bed tax or anything novel like that. 1413 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,240 Speaker 12: I think what I would say is that across government 1414 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,760 Speaker 12: there's always work being done on where levees are set 1415 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,120 Speaker 12: in various areas. So that's not a specific budget initiative 1416 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,920 Speaker 12: that I've taken, but that work goes on throughout the 1417 01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 12: year under any government. 1418 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:03,479 Speaker 3: The bid text oneions in particular, you mean, no. 1419 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,800 Speaker 12: I'm not. I'm not I'm ruling that out at this point. 1420 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 12: That's not going to be in my budget. But what 1421 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,439 Speaker 12: I mean is in terms of levies across government, So 1422 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:14,880 Speaker 12: the charges that government agencies fund for their services, those 1423 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,640 Speaker 12: are constantly being reviewed. They're not specific to a budget process. 1424 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,280 Speaker 3: Right, so at the budget none of them will go up. 1425 01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 12: The budget will make very clear what we are doing, 1426 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 12: and I'm not. 1427 01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 8: Going to. 1428 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:32,439 Speaker 3: This is what you're going to have to do, isn't it? 1429 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,000 Speaker 3: Because as you said, your borrowing costs are going up. 1430 01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,080 Speaker 3: You were lumped with the debt by the last lot, 1431 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,400 Speaker 3: and we're not going to have as much tax revenue 1432 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 3: because Trump's coming to gobble some of our profits. 1433 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,000 Speaker 12: Look, as I say, Ryan, I'm very clear that the 1434 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,560 Speaker 12: goal on the budget is to make it easier for 1435 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,639 Speaker 12: everyday Kiwi's not harder, and so I am very allergic 1436 01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:55,000 Speaker 12: to costs that fall on everyday kiwis and my budget 1437 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:55,680 Speaker 12: will reflect that. 1438 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,160 Speaker 3: Hey, the defense spending, we know that you want to 1439 01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,559 Speaker 3: get to two percent of GDP. We've had Duti Collins 1440 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,040 Speaker 3: on saying that they want to get Obviously it's a 1441 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,800 Speaker 3: matter of time. Much of that I'm assuming will be 1442 01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,200 Speaker 3: capital spending. Does that mean that it won't come out 1443 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 3: of your operating How does that work? 1444 01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,360 Speaker 12: Well, it's a combination of both. So on the one hand, 1445 01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,599 Speaker 12: we do need to make sure that the Defense Force 1446 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,920 Speaker 12: has the funding it needs day to day to pay 1447 01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 12: for its increasing costs and everything from ammunition to sending 1448 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,600 Speaker 12: soldiers over on deployment, to the pay for soldiers and 1449 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,800 Speaker 12: recruiting people in specialist roles. So we do expect to 1450 01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,880 Speaker 12: continue to increase the operating funding for the defense forces. 1451 01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,519 Speaker 12: It's also capital funding. As you know, we've got a 1452 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:39,400 Speaker 12: lot of kit we need to replace, from planes to ships, 1453 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,080 Speaker 12: to drones and everything in between. So that will be 1454 01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 12: a big part of the capability plan that we're putting 1455 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,920 Speaker 12: together is what pieces of kit do we need in 1456 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 12: what order and how does it all come together? Well, 1457 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,040 Speaker 12: not in one budget. Our plan is about what do 1458 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,360 Speaker 12: we need to do over successive budgets to increase our 1459 01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,919 Speaker 12: investment over time and make sure we have fully capable 1460 01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:01,639 Speaker 12: defense force. 1461 01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:06,640 Speaker 3: The average salary public servants the Public Service Commission, the 1462 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,280 Speaker 3: average salary one hundred and fifty five thousand a year 1463 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,639 Speaker 3: at the Social Investment Agency, one hundred and forty nine thousand, 1464 01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:16,519 Speaker 3: the Ministry for Regulation. Ironically one hundred and forty eight 1465 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:21,240 Speaker 3: thousand dollars corrections is the lowest salary eighty six thousand 1466 01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:24,519 Speaker 3: for your average. Are we getting value for money here? 1467 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,120 Speaker 3: And why does this keep going up? Why is there 1468 01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 3: more money going to public servants under using ground Robertson well. 1469 01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,880 Speaker 12: Across the public service as a whole, the median income 1470 01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 12: is eighty eight thousand, nine hundred. Now that compares to 1471 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 12: what I'm advised is the average pay for a frontline 1472 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,439 Speaker 12: nurse once you include their overtime, they get paid around 1473 01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 12: one hundred and twenty five thousand, and there are more 1474 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,400 Speaker 12: than twenty nine thousand nurses employed within our public service. 1475 01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:56,320 Speaker 12: So yes, there are some policy analysts and some agencies 1476 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 12: getting paid a bit more than that. But our view 1477 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,720 Speaker 12: is that ensuring that you have a really great frontline 1478 01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,600 Speaker 12: public service is where the focus should be. And you 1479 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,599 Speaker 12: will have seen that overall the numbers and the public 1480 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,680 Speaker 12: service have reduced on our watch, and that reflects the 1481 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,240 Speaker 12: fact that we want more resources going to those frontline 1482 01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,640 Speaker 12: roles teachers, nurses and the like and less bound up 1483 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:18,280 Speaker 12: in Wellington. 1484 01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,960 Speaker 3: Would you be announcing like a twenty percent saving target 1485 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 3: target for this budget for some agencies that sort of 1486 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 3: you know, that sort of thing you did the first 1487 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:26,920 Speaker 3: time round. 1488 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 12: That's not an announcement I'm going to make. But we've 1489 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,800 Speaker 12: made it really clear to every agency that if they 1490 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,439 Speaker 12: want to do new things, and they all have lots 1491 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,040 Speaker 12: of bright ideas well, the first thing they should do 1492 01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,720 Speaker 12: is go and find out what's not working, stop doing 1493 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 12: it and use those savings to fund the bright new ideas. 1494 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 12: That's the way businesses work, That's the way households work. 1495 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,519 Speaker 12: We expect the public service to be acting the same way. 1496 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,400 Speaker 3: All right, Nichola Willis really appreciate your time receiving Thanks 1497 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 3: so much for being with me.

Good evening today, Ryan, 1504 01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:18,120 Speaker 3: let's have a look at the market share we how 1505 01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:19,920 Speaker 3: are we looking well? 1506 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 14: We saw a little bit of a recovery in the 1507 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 14: US market on Friday, a little bit about the government, 1508 01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 14: the US government managing to avoid a debt ceiling problem 1509 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 14: and actually open make sure the government doesn't shut down. 1510 01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,560 Speaker 14: And also mister Trump managed to stop making too many announcements. 1511 01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,920 Speaker 14: But we actually saw some weaker economic data and so 1512 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 14: we saw some consumer confidence surveys come out, weaker inflation expectations. 1513 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 14: All behind. This is all about this US government reset 1514 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,760 Speaker 14: that's going on, trying to get the spending down the 1515 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 14: US government and obviously the uncertainty trade tariffs. So quite 1516 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:58,120 Speaker 14: an interesting friday here in Zeland. We were a little 1517 01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 14: bit better today, but still we're not exactly all on 1518 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,200 Speaker 14: the way but soon. I think some of that volatility 1519 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,000 Speaker 14: was in the last few weeks just toning down a 1520 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:06,360 Speaker 14: little bit. 1521 01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:10,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Hey, over to China, the regulators there seem 1522 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,600 Speaker 3: to be really putting their foot down to try and 1523 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,559 Speaker 3: support the Chinese economy. I know they had their January 1524 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:19,400 Speaker 3: February figures for import export imports were down eight percent. 1525 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 14: Yeah, so it's a great point, Ryan, They're starting from 1526 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,680 Speaker 14: a low start point, so that they have seen the 1527 01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,280 Speaker 14: need to increase stimulation. Last week they had what's called 1528 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,000 Speaker 14: the Chinese National People's Conference, the NPC, and it really 1529 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,360 Speaker 14: had a bunch of policies and lifting this economy. One 1530 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:38,120 Speaker 14: of the really notable things was that if more aggressively 1531 01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:42,719 Speaker 14: targeted consumed consumption, really trying to get Chinese consumers given 1532 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 14: the confidence to get out there. They've gone out with 1533 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,640 Speaker 14: a thirty point plan over the weekend. One thing that 1534 01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 14: we noticed though for New Zealm was that they're targeting 1535 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,679 Speaker 14: and lifting birth rates. Things like increased maturity, patunitary childcare, 1536 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,719 Speaker 14: health care policies, and some of the cities are actually 1537 01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 14: really throwing subsidies basically giving you ten thousand, which is 1538 01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 14: quite a lot of you in a second or field 1539 01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,920 Speaker 14: or forth tier city to have babies, to have children. 1540 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:10,679 Speaker 14: That's pretty good for China's demand for New Zealand andant 1541 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,200 Speaker 14: milk formula. And so we've seen a to milk, the 1542 01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,080 Speaker 14: milk formula producer up ten percent over the week on 1543 01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:18,599 Speaker 14: the back of that news. So yep, plenty of plenty 1544 01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:20,559 Speaker 14: of similars going on there. 1545 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:24,559 Speaker 3: And just finding back here. Shares in smart pace spiking 1546 01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,559 Speaker 3: high today. This is several takeover offers that we've been 1547 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 3: hearing about. 1548 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 14: Yeah, interesting times. So smart pay e literronic prepaid solutions 1549 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 14: that it had a bed from Australian as the company Tyro, 1550 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,280 Speaker 14: and also an international strategic party. We don't know who 1551 01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,320 Speaker 14: that is. Tyro has been effectively the same as a dollar. 1552 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:43,719 Speaker 14: It's some shares and some cash. It's about a dollar. 1553 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,760 Speaker 14: And the boards basically said, hey, look, just wait, We're 1554 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,160 Speaker 14: going to let these companies undertake their due diligence and 1555 01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 14: then we'll go from there. But I think it's really 1556 01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,519 Speaker 14: telling us that it's the time we may see more 1557 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 14: of this version acquisition activity.

In fact, 1608 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 3: it's not the insulation that's the problem. It's the design 1609 01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,800 Speaker 3: of the homes. But the question then becomes, well, if 1610 01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:51,160 Speaker 3: the homes were the same design but with less insulation, 1611 01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:54,080 Speaker 3: we do you still have the problems, you see?

Yeah? 1638 01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 25: Good? 1639 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 3: Thank you. First of all, I asked Laura, who's our 1640 01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 3: producer here? I wanted to find out whether you've got 1641 01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 3: any skin in the game. Here are you? You know 1642 01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:42,000 Speaker 3: you've got shares and insulation companies anything like this, But 1643 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 3: you know you're quite independent. I've found out, Yeah, we're 1644 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:47,080 Speaker 3: completely independent. 1645 01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,760 Speaker 18: I am Brains is all about providing some ex independent 1646 01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,240 Speaker 18: advice into the system. So that's what we're about. 1647 01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 3: Brilliant. Okay, So two things. One, it's getting hotter inside. 1648 01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,799 Speaker 3: What's the temperature? I mean, how hot are we talking. 1649 01:24:59,640 --> 01:24:59,840 Speaker 2: In some. 1650 01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:05,080 Speaker 18: Some people are saying that somewhere between twenty five and 1651 01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,720 Speaker 18: thirty degrees and that's for some people that feels really hot. 1652 01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,080 Speaker 18: And I think one of the really interesting things from 1653 01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:13,720 Speaker 18: the study shows that Wellingtonians are likely to say it's 1654 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:16,680 Speaker 18: two women they're homes despite them actually being colder than 1655 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 18: the people in Auckland who are saying it's quite comfortable. 1656 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,280 Speaker 18: So it's really about perception about what people are actually 1657 01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:23,759 Speaker 18: feeling like they're in their homes. 1658 01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,680 Speaker 3: What do people feel like is a good temperature? 1659 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 18: Again, that really comes down to personal preference. I'm in Wellington. 1660 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,200 Speaker 18: I think if my home was twenty five degrees, I'd 1661 01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:35,600 Speaker 18: feel it's pretty warm. But you know that would be 1662 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,480 Speaker 18: quite different to someone else than from Auckland or from 1663 01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,160 Speaker 18: christ Church but I think at the end of the day, 1664 01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:45,160 Speaker 18: there's actually no agreed definition of when it's too hot. 1665 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,719 Speaker 18: The World Health Organization see something between over forty degrees 1666 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 18: is probably not good, which is probably right. It's not 1667 01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:54,439 Speaker 18: actually a real measure of saying when it's when hot 1668 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 18: is too hot. 1669 01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 3: Now, one of the things you looked at was the 1670 01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:01,160 Speaker 3: new insulation standards that came into force, and three you've 1671 01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:04,559 Speaker 3: said that they're not to blame for our houses getting warmer. 1672 01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:05,800 Speaker 3: That doesn't make sense to me. 1673 01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 18: There's two parts of the Actually. First of all, none 1674 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,840 Speaker 18: of the houses in the survey actually had that new 1675 01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,920 Speaker 18: insulation levels in them, so we can certainly say that 1676 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,479 Speaker 18: didn't make any difference. But I think the other thing 1677 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,400 Speaker 18: that we have shown in this work of insulation also 1678 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 18: keeps the heat out, so no one is it keeping 1679 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,479 Speaker 18: you warm in winter, which is a really great thing, 1680 01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,800 Speaker 18: but also keeps the heat out in summer. I think 1681 01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:32,559 Speaker 18: what we're really seeing is that homes are really complex, 1682 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,800 Speaker 18: complex constructions. There's a lot that you need to think about. 1683 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:41,599 Speaker 18: There's insulation, there's the amount of windows you've got, how 1684 01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,120 Speaker 18: much sun's coming in, how much shade you haven't haven't 1685 01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:47,320 Speaker 18: got they facing north or south. It's really complex, and 1686 01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:50,000 Speaker 18: that's what we're really trying to trying to get across 1687 01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:53,640 Speaker 18: to everybody really right. They're to design things right and 1688 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,120 Speaker 18: to build them properly. They need to actually if you're living, 1689 01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:58,080 Speaker 18: then you need to open the window and ventilate them. 1690 01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:00,519 Speaker 3: So none of the homes you looked at actually had 1691 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:02,800 Speaker 3: the new standard of insulation. 1692 01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:04,639 Speaker 18: So that's correct. 1693 01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,880 Speaker 3: So therefore you can say, well, they're still getting hot, 1694 01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,840 Speaker 3: but how do you know that they wouldn't have gotten 1695 01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 3: even hotter had they had that level. 1696 01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 18: Well, again, it comes back to that complex relationship between 1697 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:20,400 Speaker 18: everything that's in the in the house. Is that there's 1698 01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,000 Speaker 18: a lot there's a lot of people who don't have 1699 01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,080 Speaker 18: any shaving at all, coming into really large open windows 1700 01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 18: and onto concrete flour. So insulation is one part of it, 1701 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,760 Speaker 18: but it's not that it's not the only thing that's 1702 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,240 Speaker 18: contributing to things getting warmer. 1703 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:36,240 Speaker 3: Okay, is there anything you want changed, you know, whether 1704 01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:39,000 Speaker 3: it's to do with insulation or anything else with the 1705 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:42,320 Speaker 3: building code, anything you want change to cool our houses down? 1706 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,559 Speaker 18: I think that the building code has always been updated 1707 01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:49,599 Speaker 18: and people are always thinking about That's not our job. 1708 01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,880 Speaker 18: We provide advice to the government that does do that. 1709 01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,000 Speaker 18: But at the end of the day, people need to 1710 01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,280 Speaker 18: think again, it's the whole the whole building code, the 1711 01:27:56,320 --> 01:28:00,760 Speaker 18: whole system is holistic. Things are complex. Change one thing 1712 01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,080 Speaker 18: and something else will change. You need to consider that 1713 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 18: in the whole process of designing and building your homes. 1714 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:10,439 Speaker 3: Okay, does everyone get will we all need air conditioning 1715 01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:12,280 Speaker 3: at some point? And if so, when do you think 1716 01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 3: that might be. 1717 01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,439 Speaker 18: I don't know about that. I think there's always some 1718 01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,760 Speaker 18: way to operate your home better. It doesn't have to 1719 01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:24,479 Speaker 18: be with air conditioning. You could INTELLCT properly. You can 1720 01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,599 Speaker 18: close the windows that you know, close your blinds at 1721 01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:29,439 Speaker 18: the right time. You can put some shaving, plant a 1722 01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,720 Speaker 18: big tree outside your window. There's lots of ways to 1723 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 18: cool things down when you actually need to put a 1724 01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:38,479 Speaker 18: calling pump and the air conditioning and I don't know 1725 01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:41,040 Speaker 18: that can be very gay, very much for people how 1726 01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,360 Speaker 18: they feel that they're perception of living in their homers. 1727 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,400 Speaker 3: Interesting, Chris, thank you for that. Appreciate your time. Welcome 1728 01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,759 Speaker 3: doctor Chris Litton, Building Research Association, General manager of Research. 1729 01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,920 Speaker 3: Very independent man, it is nineteen minutes away from seven. 1730 01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:59,479 Speaker 3: You're on news talk said back in just a moment. 1731 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:01,759 Speaker 2: Numbers and getting the results. 1732 01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:06,160 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Bridge with the business hour and mass insurance 1733 01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 1: and investments, grew your wealth, protect your future. 1734 01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:11,800 Speaker 2: News talks 'b You've been. 1735 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:14,040 Speaker 3: Planning away from seven on news talks 'b Ryan, do 1736 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,040 Speaker 3: you think having much more We've just been discussing insulation 1737 01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,960 Speaker 3: and what makes a house too hot? Temperatures up six 1738 01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 3: to ten percent over twenty years, Brian. Do you think 1739 01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:27,720 Speaker 3: that's in summer? Do you think having too much technology, computers, 1740 01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:30,160 Speaker 3: et cetera in our home contribute to the heating. I 1741 01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 3: know my son's room is much hotter than the rest 1742 01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:36,000 Speaker 3: of our house, says Karen. I think you're probably onto something, Karen. 1743 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 3: I you know, if you think about your phone, when 1744 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,760 Speaker 3: you hold your phone in your hand and you're lying 1745 01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,200 Speaker 3: in bed at night, which you shouldn't be doing, but 1746 01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:46,160 Speaker 3: it is warmer, it is hotter. So I would say 1747 01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:47,559 Speaker 3: that stands to reason, Karen. 1748 01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:49,800 Speaker 21: And if we look at so our work building, right, 1749 01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,599 Speaker 21: and if between a studio I'm sitting in the studio 1750 01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:53,960 Speaker 21: you're sitting in, if you think about the amount of 1751 01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,360 Speaker 21: hot air that's produced in these two studios cost the 1752 01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 21: course of the day. 1753 01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 3: You know, it's probably particularly in the morning circus six 1754 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:05,240 Speaker 3: to nine am. Glass. Some of my friends have new 1755 01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:08,439 Speaker 3: houses with high glass walls, and bugger Mese has been 1756 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:10,759 Speaker 3: they are hot in the summer. I mean that stands 1757 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:13,639 Speaker 3: to reason too. Some comes straight through, doesn't it, Ryan. 1758 01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:17,400 Speaker 3: Not many new houses, says Carolyn, have eaves on them. 1759 01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 3: The sun just beams right and all good points, all 1760 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,640 Speaker 3: well made. Quarter to seven, Ryan Bridge Kevin Gray are 1761 01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:27,400 Speaker 3: UK correspondent with us given good evening. Hi, that now 1762 01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:30,960 Speaker 3: tell us about this nightclub fire in North Macedonia. That 1763 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 3: many people have died. 1764 01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:38,160 Speaker 26: Ryan, it's a terrible, terrible incident and at least fifty 1765 01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:42,479 Speaker 26: nine have died, Eighteen people are in hospital critical and 1766 01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,760 Speaker 26: many others were left injured. It was thought that nearly 1767 01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 26: five hundred people gathered for a concert by a group 1768 01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:52,200 Speaker 26: called DNK. They're a popular hip hop dura in the country, 1769 01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:58,720 Speaker 26: and during this fire in the North Macedonian club, which 1770 01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:02,920 Speaker 26: was roughly a couple of one hundred kilometers east of 1771 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:06,360 Speaker 26: the capitol, they set off some pyrotechnics during the concert. 1772 01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:09,639 Speaker 26: The pyrotechnics produced sparks, One of them hit the ceiling 1773 01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:11,840 Speaker 26: and it turned out the ceiling was made of a 1774 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:16,320 Speaker 26: highly flammable substance and it spread really really quickly and 1775 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,560 Speaker 26: many of those crushed trying to get out, And it 1776 01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:23,719 Speaker 26: now appears that we've had up to fifteen people detained overnight. 1777 01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:26,800 Speaker 26: And this is all about the fact that there are 1778 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,839 Speaker 26: some suspicions the venue did not have a legal license 1779 01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:33,960 Speaker 26: to operate, that it only had one sort of exit 1780 01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 26: for people to get out of. The venue's back door 1781 01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:39,400 Speaker 26: was locked and could not be used. It was described 1782 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:43,519 Speaker 26: as an improvised nightclub, having previously been a carpet warehouse. 1783 01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,439 Speaker 26: So lots of things now being revealed about, quite simply 1784 01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:48,680 Speaker 26: the lack of facilities that are being alleged at this 1785 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:53,479 Speaker 26: place and the lack of safety standards that were in place, 1786 01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:56,400 Speaker 26: and that's led to huge question marks now for the 1787 01:31:56,520 --> 01:32:01,160 Speaker 26: government about how many of these entertainment and areas in 1788 01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:04,439 Speaker 26: North Macedonia are being used that simply aren't suitable for 1789 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:09,000 Speaker 26: large gathering. So questions being asked, arrests being made, and 1790 01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:12,320 Speaker 26: plenty of people grieving the loss of their loved ones. Incidently, 1791 01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,600 Speaker 26: the age range of those who died is fourteen to 1792 01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:16,400 Speaker 26: twenty four. 1793 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:21,240 Speaker 3: That's terrible, Kevin, that's really terrible. Thank you for updating 1794 01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:23,839 Speaker 3: us on that. Let's go to the UK some asylum seekers, 1795 01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:27,080 Speaker 3: in fact, tens of thousands of them, they've had their 1796 01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:30,840 Speaker 3: initial claims rejected, but now they're going back for more. 1797 01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:31,400 Speaker 2: Is that right? 1798 01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:32,880 Speaker 15: Yeah? 1799 01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 26: And the people who have had their asylum claims refused 1800 01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:42,800 Speaker 26: are appealing. And it's the number of appealance or appllance 1801 01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 26: I guess who are those that we're talking about, And 1802 01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:50,360 Speaker 26: it's gone to forty two thousand, with almost forty thousand 1803 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:54,320 Speaker 26: housed in hotels waiting, and of course that hotel bill 1804 01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:57,120 Speaker 26: is massive, and people that aren't able to get a 1805 01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:59,479 Speaker 26: home or on a waiting list for a home are 1806 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:03,600 Speaker 26: far as you can understand that this is happening. The 1807 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:07,920 Speaker 26: Refugee Council says the number now is a fivefold increase 1808 01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:10,519 Speaker 26: in the last two years, and they say the government 1809 01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:13,519 Speaker 26: simply risks moving the asylum crisis from one part of 1810 01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:16,519 Speaker 26: the system to another. In other words, this government has 1811 01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:21,240 Speaker 26: pledged to hear the cases sooner and then determine whether 1812 01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:25,120 Speaker 26: somebody can stay and then repatriate them if they can't. 1813 01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:28,719 Speaker 26: But what's happening is they aren't quickening up the system 1814 01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:32,559 Speaker 26: for those appeal hearings. So we're stuck in this system 1815 01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 26: where millions of pounds a day is being spent. It 1816 01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:39,080 Speaker 26: was estimated incidentally, the cost of hotels could be roughly 1817 01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:42,599 Speaker 26: three and a half billion New Zealand dollars this year 1818 01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:45,479 Speaker 26: for housing assylum seekers. And as you can imagine, that 1819 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:48,000 Speaker 26: is a bill at the moment where many people are 1820 01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,439 Speaker 26: struggling to put food on the table and heat their homes. 1821 01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:54,759 Speaker 3: That is not good figure, Absolutely not. Now the PTS 1822 01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:57,840 Speaker 3: Harry business that all of US files, as immigration files, 1823 01:33:57,880 --> 01:33:59,840 Speaker 3: are we going to get to have a little peak of. 1824 01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:02,439 Speaker 26: The well, we're going to have a look I think 1825 01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:05,880 Speaker 26: at redacted versions. So all this relates to the fact 1826 01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:11,040 Speaker 26: that in America, if you apply for citizenship or for 1827 01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:14,680 Speaker 26: basically living there, you have to answer a series of 1828 01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:18,320 Speaker 26: questions and some of them relate to drug taking and 1829 01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:21,000 Speaker 26: in the past people have been barred from entering if 1830 01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:25,320 Speaker 26: they've taken drugs. Well, in his book Spare, Prince Harry 1831 01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 26: said that he quote, cocaine didn't do anything for me. 1832 01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:30,719 Speaker 26: Marijuana is different. 1833 01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:32,479 Speaker 15: That actually really did help me. 1834 01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:37,080 Speaker 26: So a group which is a conservative US think tank 1835 01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:41,360 Speaker 26: called the Heritage Foundation said that they thought this should 1836 01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,040 Speaker 26: mean if it's true in the book that he was 1837 01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:47,599 Speaker 26: disqualified from obtaining a US visa, and they have won 1838 01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:53,000 Speaker 26: the latest round in ordering the release of the application form. 1839 01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:54,640 Speaker 26: But as I said, I think what we see is 1840 01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:57,439 Speaker 26: quite heavily redacted, that this could be bad news for 1841 01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:01,000 Speaker 26: Prince Harry. In the past, various judges said no, it's 1842 01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,280 Speaker 26: of no public interest at all, so we're not going 1843 01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:07,120 Speaker 26: to release it. But finally they found a judge that said, yes, actually, 1844 01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,360 Speaker 26: this is important and we do need it to be 1845 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:12,439 Speaker 26: a level playing field for those that come to live 1846 01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:16,160 Speaker 26: in this country. And so although President Trump ruled out 1847 01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:19,639 Speaker 26: deporting Harry from the US back in February, he actually 1848 01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,040 Speaker 26: said to the New York Post, I'll leave Malone. He's 1849 01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:25,519 Speaker 26: got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible. We will 1850 01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,000 Speaker 26: wait to see what happens next. 1851 01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,479 Speaker 3: Goodness name. One must be careful when speaking one's truth. 1852 01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:33,960 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Kevin Kevin Gray. Yeah, UK correspondent. 1853 01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 3: It's just gone ten minutes away from seven here on 1854 01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:40,799 Speaker 3: lin Ryan Bridge. Now I'm loving these ticks about the Eves. 1855 01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:43,600 Speaker 3: This is on your house because he's sort of like 1856 01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,960 Speaker 3: a pigd cat for your house, aren't they? They keep 1857 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:50,920 Speaker 3: your your house cool, and they keep your house dry. 1858 01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:53,760 Speaker 3: You can open your doors and windows if you've got 1859 01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:57,040 Speaker 3: an eve hanging over the side of it, Ryan, the 1860 01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,920 Speaker 3: biggest problem with new builds is they don't have eves anymore. 1861 01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:03,160 Speaker 3: The eaves provide shading in the summer months, which keeps 1862 01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:06,000 Speaker 3: the house cooler. Developers got rid of the e's to 1863 01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,840 Speaker 3: have a bigger footprint, to make the houses bigger, at 1864 01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:12,040 Speaker 3: the cost of the occupants comforts. As Mike, I'm assuming 1865 01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:15,400 Speaker 3: because if does that make it non permeable ground, because 1866 01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:17,800 Speaker 3: you know, a certain percentage of your site must be 1867 01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,200 Speaker 3: non permeable or permeable or whatever. So presumably an eve 1868 01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:25,400 Speaker 3: would count as just house. Ryan. If the relatively new 1869 01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:28,599 Speaker 3: houses the glass will be triple or at least double glazed, 1870 01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:31,360 Speaker 3: shouldn't be too hot in the sun. I don't know. 1871 01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 3: I still find it quite hot next to a window. 1872 01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:37,080 Speaker 3: I don't know about you. And it's a new window too. 1873 01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:42,200 Speaker 3: Nine minutes away from seven here on Newstalks MB it's 1874 01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:42,920 Speaker 3: the heather too. 1875 01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:47,240 Speaker 1: See Allen dry full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1876 01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:48,320 Speaker 1: Newstalks EBB. 1877 01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:52,840 Speaker 3: News TALKSB seven minutes away from seven and an interesting 1878 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:56,000 Speaker 3: number I came across my desk today, and this is 1879 01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:58,479 Speaker 3: to do with the economy, and everybody's worried about Donald 1880 01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:01,040 Speaker 3: Trump and what might happen over there. Ye, but there's 1881 01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:04,360 Speaker 3: the stocks. The stock exchange obviously taken a massive hit 1882 01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:08,080 Speaker 3: over the last couple of months, taken absolute hammering the 1883 01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:10,880 Speaker 3: S and P five hundred and correction territory. Everyone's sort 1884 01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:13,320 Speaker 3: of freaking out about what the implications of the terriffs 1885 01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,720 Speaker 3: might be. So it's been hitting the value of these businesses, 1886 01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:21,960 Speaker 3: which is the value of people's you know, savings, the 1887 01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:25,320 Speaker 3: value of their retirement funds, all those sorts of things. 1888 01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:28,639 Speaker 3: So the number that's interesting is how much the American 1889 01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:33,960 Speaker 3: economy is reliant on wealthy people spending. So rich people 1890 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:37,160 Speaker 3: spending actually turns out quite important for the American economy 1891 01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:40,120 Speaker 3: and has been over particularly over the last period during COVID. 1892 01:37:40,560 --> 01:37:44,479 Speaker 3: So the top ten percent of American earners now account 1893 01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:48,840 Speaker 3: for roughly half of all spending. I'll just say that again. 1894 01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 3: The top ten percent of American earners now account for 1895 01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:55,840 Speaker 3: roughly half of all spending. That number is up from 1896 01:37:55,960 --> 01:38:00,400 Speaker 3: thirty five percent three decades ago. And of them, thirty 1897 01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,680 Speaker 3: two percent of their wealth are in stocks. So if 1898 01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:07,880 Speaker 3: you think about the wealth of the wealthy and how 1899 01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:09,719 Speaker 3: much of that is tied up in the stock market, 1900 01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:11,360 Speaker 3: and then you look at what's happening to the stock 1901 01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:13,679 Speaker 3: market and you see that they might start to get jittery, 1902 01:38:14,360 --> 01:38:16,240 Speaker 3: they might start to pull back on their spending, and 1903 01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:18,919 Speaker 3: that has a wider flow on effect into the real economy. 1904 01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:21,639 Speaker 3: Doesn't it a bit like us with housing.
