We're scoffing pharmaceuticals as well. When we're 10 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 2: in the middle of a psychedelic renaissance.

Ninety two 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: ninety Tuesday. Big zeb is the text. 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: Number the agenda. 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: Thanks, good morning. I'm Adre Dickins. It's Tuesday, the seventeenth 22 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: of December. Hundreds are feared dead on the tiny French 23 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: island territory of Mayote, just off the coast of Madagascar. 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: This is following the devastating cyclone. 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: Right now, we're encountering a number of difficulties and transporting 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: all the staff and equipment needed for the victim rescue 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 3: mission on the island of Mayotte. So here there's a 28 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: sort of clusterlogue that's being organized to bring together the 29 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: man and equipment. 30 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: So Mayotte just a tiny, tiny place and some of 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: the houses just senties. 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: Really. 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: It's feared the death toll could potentially reach thousands. Some 34 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: neighborhoods have been completely flattened in the extreme wind. There's 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: a new statement out, possibly written by fallen Syrian leader 36 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: Basha al Assad, saying he never intended to flee to Russia. No, no, no, 37 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: and at no pointed stepping down uh ah. The statement 38 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: was posted to the presidential Telegram account. He's on telegram. 39 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: Although it's not known who's currently in control of Vasad's 40 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: Telegram account. So we have a drone detection system being 41 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: sent to New York as officials continue to receive thousands 42 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: and thousands of reported sightings of drones over the multiple states, 43 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: including New York and New Jersey. 44 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 4: It's remarkable, with all these sightings over the last while, 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 4: why do we have more questions than answers. If the 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: technology exists for a drone to make it up into 47 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 4: the sky, there certainly is the technology that can track 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 4: the craft with precision and determine what the heck is 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 4: going on. 50 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: So the Homeland Security Secretary says he's not aware of 51 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: any foreign involvement, adding the increased sartings might be due 52 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: to a change in regulations allowing drones to be flown 53 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: at night. We're in a high state of alert, aren't we, 54 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: right around the world. And beckcoin once again has hit 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: a rec value. Its popularity continues to surge. It's now 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 2: reached one hundred and six thousand US dollars a bitcoin, 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: as follows a reelection of Donald Trump, who went out 58 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: and said he wants to make bitcoin strategic reserve in 59 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: the United States of America. So that was all in 60 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: Since yesterday's peakad has dropped slightly. It's now sitting at 61 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: one hundred and four thousand US dollars. 62 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: A popper on your radio and online on iHeartRadio early 63 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: edition with Andrew Dickens and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture 64 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: Bids and applying store news talk said be so. 65 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 2: Today, a seventy seven year old farmer from the Corimander 66 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: will appear in court accused of shooting dead an alleged 67 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: poacher on his land. The farmer allegedly caught a pig 68 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: hunter gutting a beast and then something terrible happened. The 69 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: man who died was a father of five, and even 70 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: his mother has described him in the media as a 71 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: rat bag, a lovable rat bag, a cheeky little monkey, 72 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: a loved father of five, and a ledged poacher. So, 73 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: of course the case has started. I can't cast comment 74 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: on the case, but here's some of the observations I've made. 75 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: Private property rights in this country appear to be an 76 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: endangered species. A neighbor of mine found one of his 77 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: trees have been poisoned by his direct neighbor, and so, 78 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: of course he popped across the fence and said, what's 79 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: happened here? Do you know, Well, the neighbor freely admitted it. 80 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: The tree was affecting his vibe. It had to go, 81 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: even though it wasn't their tree, And they had to 82 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: cross the fence and go on to the property and 83 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: start killing the tree. And they never had the decency 84 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: to consult the owner of the tree and now proud 85 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: to admit it. Yeah, the tree had to go, mate, Sorry, yeah, 86 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 2: I killed it. It's unbelievable. Private property rights. Your land 87 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: is your land. Screw with it and expect a reaction. 88 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: People also seem to have developed a hard line towards 89 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: holding people to account to hear it and talk back 90 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: all the time, don't you know, get tough on these guys, 91 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: you know. So, shooting at people quite a thing. It's 92 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 2: something I have never done and hope I never do. 93 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: If you are shooting at someone, then surely you must 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 2: have sufficient reason to be doing so. And this is 95 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: what a jury will wrestle with today and in many 96 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: other cases. What is the punishment equal to the crime 97 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 2: and consequences is another thing. If you kill or seriously 98 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 2: hurt a person, then that person's whole life rests in 99 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: your hand, their pass but also their future. That they 100 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: now miss out on. Now that is the consequence that 101 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: you need to learn with, you know, forget getting going 102 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: to jail for a bit. That is the consequence that 103 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: really weighs heavily on your soul. And remember twenty twenty 104 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: hindsight is always a very terrible thing, but often it's 105 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: also the truth. Try to have twenty twenty hindsight before 106 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: you start doing something stupiday. Too many people still believe 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: they have a right to exact hearts punishment. Often it's talk, 108 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 2: but then it isn't, and then when it isn't, it's bad. 109 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 2: So today we'll witness a tragedy involving all sides going 110 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: too far and symptomatic for me of the way our 111 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: society is going, full of entitlement, anger and harsh retribution. 112 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens, you talked about question of the Day and 113 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: New Zealand and Jetstar have been in the gun for 114 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: recent hikes and air fares during busy periods. This week, well, 115 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: the week remember when Pearl Jam played two concerts in 116 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: Auckland and then Cole played, then played three all in 117 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: the same week, and there was marathons and all sorts. 118 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: Air fears jumped to extraordinary levels. They were apologizing yesterday 119 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 2: that you alone say it's just supply and demand and 120 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: New Zealanders were just being far too busy. You're being 121 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: far too busy. It's a concept called active pricing. It's 122 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 2: becoming more and more common. Recently in London, I went 123 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: to a great David Hockney exhibition and well recommend that 124 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: booking the tickets online, I noticed that if I went 125 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: to a session one hour later, then they wanted five 126 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 2: quid more when I went to pick up my tickets 127 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: at the gallery. Why, I said, more people want to come? 128 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: I said, yeah, well sure, and then you're going to 129 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: make more money. Why do you have to charge more? 130 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: They said, it's active pricing. So my point is, and 131 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: my question is, is active pricing a good thing? Does 132 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: it make you angry? Should it continue? Should it stop? 133 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: Should a mostly publicly owned company like Air New Zealand 134 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: use active pricing? Remember, active pricing is an active choice 135 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: by the retailer, and as such I think they need 136 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: to know the customers feel used by it, and the 137 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: customer is always king. It's five fourteen. What's going to 138 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: happen with the HAIFU? The half year? The economic forecast 139 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: and update. Cameron Baggery is with me. 140 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: Next Andrew Dickens on early edition with Smith City, New 141 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture bids and applying store news talks. 142 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: It be yes Coomb onding to you. It is sixteen 143 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: after five High fou Day today. That is the half 144 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: year Economic and Fiscal Update. Treasury will release it this 145 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: afternoon and we'll get new insight into how the economy 146 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: is tracked over the past six months and what Treasury 147 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: is forecasting as we go forward into twenty twenty five, 148 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: the year that we have to survive. To you may remember, 149 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: it's all coming with a warning from the Finance Minister 150 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: who yesterday said the government inherited difficult economic conditions. So 151 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: Camin Bagrie is the lead economist from Bagriy Economics and 152 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: Joints who right now, how the Cameron? There we go, 153 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: Sorry Cameron, the mouse wasn't working. How the Cameron? 154 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 5: Good morning. 155 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: I like what west Pac senior economist Darren Gibbs said, 156 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: he expects a deeper shade of red. What are you expecting? 157 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess. We go back and had a look 158 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 5: at the twenty twenty four budget. There was a downside 159 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 5: scenario in mate, and it looks like the economy has 160 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 5: been tracking more in line with the downside scenario. And 161 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 5: that downside scenario had a lot more red It had 162 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 5: net debt getting up in an excess of forty five 163 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 5: percent of GDP, that had the operating balance or what's 164 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 5: called the obi gaal not getting back into surplus over 165 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 5: the forecast period, and it looks like we're tracking more 166 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 5: in line with that scenario than the central scenario they 167 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 5: presented in the twenty twenty four budget. 168 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 2: Would this be the lowest point as we look forward 169 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 2: to twenty two twenty five, or you know, could we 170 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: go lower? 171 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: No? 172 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 5: I think the low point is going to be this 173 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 5: what's called fiscal year. The economy in a cyclical sense 174 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 5: has actually turned the corner and we're starting to bounce 175 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 5: back up. Monetary policy, the Reserve Bank is going to 176 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 5: work a little bit of magic over twenty and twenty 177 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 5: five that will help the fiscal forecasts out. But the 178 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 5: real big problem with the fiscal forecast is not just 179 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 5: where the come with the economy does in the next 180 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 5: sort of twelve months. It's sort of average growth. And 181 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 5: the key variable here is what's called productivity growth. How 182 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 5: smart we are with resources in the Treasury's chief economic 183 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 5: advisor the Reserve Bank have both been out warning about 184 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 5: productivity growth. That goes straight to the heart of average 185 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 5: growth over each year, and that goes straight to the 186 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 5: heart of your tax revenue numbers. And I think they're 187 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 5: going to find that the government's got a bit of 188 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 5: a hole in regard to tax revenue. And if you 189 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 5: don't have the tax revigue coming in to the degree 190 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 5: that you were expecting, you're going to have a little 191 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 5: lot more problems getting back from deficit the surplus. 192 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 2: Exactly on that tax revenue. It's a bit of a 193 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 2: visus circle, isn't it. The more we cut government spending 194 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 2: to fit the revenue right, the more the economy retracts, 195 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: meaning the less revenue the government receives and tax. Therefore 196 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: we can't really pay the debt, you know, we sort 197 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: of it's sort of creates itself, it spins on itself. 198 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, and the government is fation some pretty complex trade offs. Obviously, 199 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 5: you need to be fiscally responsible. Now you've got to 200 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 5: try to go from deficit surface. You need to read 201 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 5: what's called the fiscal buffers. Because New Zealand shakes a 202 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 5: lot of it, and you want to have a bit 203 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 5: of a water chest to deploy it to borrow if 204 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 5: something nasty happens, and odds are something nasty is going 205 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 5: to happen in the next sort of ten years and 206 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 5: we need to be prepared for that. But the other 207 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 5: side is that governments need to invest in the economy. 208 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 5: You need to have a well functioned education system, you 209 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 5: need to have a well functioning roading system, you need 210 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 5: to have a well functioning health system. It's a question 211 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 5: you get in that balance between doing fis were responsible 212 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 5: but also investing for a bit of economic prosperity for 213 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 5: the economy. 214 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 2: So are they being physically responsible? You hurt? The Finance 215 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: Minister yesterday said we've inherited difficult economic conditions, but that 216 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: was a year ago and they've made some quite big 217 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: macro moves and that's helping to exasperate exascerberate the economic conditions. 218 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: So are they managing it well. 219 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 5: Now? Look, my personal view is that the debt targets 220 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 5: that are on the table at the moment, I don't 221 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 5: think they're going to be hit. I think we need 222 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 5: to be tilting a little bit more towards the investing 223 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 5: for perspiity, but investing with discipline. That's the key here. 224 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 5: What we saw out of the previous government was there 225 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 5: was a hell of a lot of money that was being 226 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 5: thrown around, but it was ill disciplined and it wasn't 227 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 5: hitting the market in regard to getting results. You know, 228 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 5: I'd like to see this government loosen the debt targets, 229 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 5: be probably a little bit more less a steer. But 230 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 5: you have a bit of a tagline about investing for 231 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 5: prospiity and having a lot more discipline about where we're 232 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 5: going because we need to fix the health system, we 233 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 5: need to fix the education system, we need to fink 234 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 5: Sobriting system. 235 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: All good, Cameron, thank you so much for your wisdom. 236 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: It is five twenty investing for prosperity with discipline. It's 237 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,119 Speaker 2: five twenty. 238 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth 239 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and Smith City New 240 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture bids and a flying Store youth talks. 241 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 2: It'd be So we've got a second lot of findings 242 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 2: from a Massi University drug trends survey and they're a 243 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 2: bit of a worry. One in four survey responders report 244 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: using pharmaceuticals for recreational use over the past six months. 245 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: Twenty four percent report using MDMA and ketamine and other 246 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: psychedelics for therapeutic purposes. And from the team at the 247 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: Massive University in New Zealand Drugs Research Team, I'm joined 248 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: by Dr Robin van Dersand and hello Robin, Hi, how 249 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: are you very good? So to the pharmaceuticals. First, do 250 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 2: we have an illegal trade in pharmaceuticals and people are 251 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: sort of selling tramadol to each other. 252 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 6: Potentially a little bit but also potentially a bit more 253 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 6: boring than that that people are just you know, sharing 254 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 6: these drugs with one another when in need. But there 255 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 6: is definitely also a little bit of sale going on. 256 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: So what should we be worried about with the pharmaceuticals. 257 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 6: A big thing is sort of health and safety. I 258 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 6: think you know a lot of people who take these 259 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 6: drugs nor medically might not have gotten the advice of 260 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 6: their doctor. You know, they might also be mixing these 261 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 6: drugs together, for example, with alcohol, which is a big 262 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 6: risk in terms of overdose or poisoning or experiencing harmful effects. 263 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 6: And also we've got as people are buying these drugs 264 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 6: illegally via a drug dealer. Then we've got this risk 265 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 6: of them buying counterfeit pharmaceuticals. 266 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,359 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, I meanwhile to the more traditional drugs, the mtumaze, 267 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: et cetera. You're saying, and you've said in your report, 268 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: the world is in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance. Now, 269 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: what do you mean by that? 270 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 6: Well, it sort of means that we've got a kind 271 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 6: of really renewed interest in psychedelic across a different area 272 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 6: of society and in the medical sector in terms of healthcare. 273 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 6: You know, there's a lot of research on the potential 274 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 6: benefits of psychedelics for a number of mental health benefits 275 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 6: and therapeutic purposes. You've got a lot of cultural coverage 276 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 6: of psychedelics, so it's quite a sort of zeitgeist more 277 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 6: broadly in the culture at the moment. So that's kind 278 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 6: of what I mean. 279 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: By that, and one that we need to take great 280 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: care of. And I thank you Robin van der Sanden. 281 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: And it is now five twenty four. This is News 282 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: Talks AB. 283 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio. How ad 284 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: By News Talks. 285 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 7: It be. 286 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: This is News Talks B five twenty seven. I'm Andrew Dickins, 287 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: drop the well beings. The government has given the councils 288 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 2: the tang las for Christmas, and they're going to hold 289 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: councils accountable for the basics like pipes and rubbish. But 290 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: whatever you do do not mention well being. But I 291 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: don't know about you. The care and maintenance of pipes 292 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: and sewage and all that sort of thing is pretty 293 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: fundamental to my well being, pooh, fundamental to the health 294 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: of society and well being anyway. Minister Simeon Brown now 295 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: wants to report issued each year on the financial health 296 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: of each council they're spending and their results. He wants 297 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: to compare them all together. They also want to look 298 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: at changes and rates for each dwelling. In other words, 299 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: the government's going to read the publicly listed council reports 300 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: and produce their own report because apparently many rate payers 301 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: don't or can't be bothered reading what the councilor has said. Anyway, 302 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 2: it's not as though it's hidden. It's also the job 303 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: the media used to do until we got so skinned 304 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 2: we don't have the staff to turn up to actually 305 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: report on it. Remember that each time. You like the 306 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: media sort of being chopped down a little bit. We 307 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: need people to report on stuff. I couldn't help thinking 308 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: the whole thing was a bit of a dramatic production 309 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 2: just before Christmas. Christmas panto here Ryan, he said, was 310 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: it bluster? Maybe part of a bit of a war 311 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: to paint local bodies as a villain for committing exactly 312 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: the same crimes that central government are guilty of. You 313 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: know this, critics of council red tape and building consents, 314 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 2: and yet the irony is that it's central government who 315 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: writes the rules that the councils are merely enforcing. There's 316 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: criticism of a lack of long term plans from councils 317 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: when central government tends to change its plans every three 318 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: years in line with elections. Central government has been palmed 319 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: off with some of the biggest and hardest part of 320 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: civil maintenance to their councils. They've got the water, the pool, 321 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: the rubbish. And then, of course central government has crippled 322 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: councils by and allowing them to only make revenue through 323 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: property taxes, and then when things go wrong, treat local 324 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 2: government like a whipping boy. I think the point of 325 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: the government's attack on councils has to make them more 326 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: accountable to ratepayers, yes one, but possibly to distract voters 327 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: from looking at central government. And thank you for that. 328 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: Councils are accountable to ratepayers.

Now a total of four Ossie's out of 500 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 13: the seven that fell ill were hospitalized. Now it's a 501 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 13: suspected mass alcohol poisoning, they're calling it, and investigations continue 502 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 13: into what actually happened. We we're waiting for toxicology reports 503 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 13: to come in. But at this stage it's no suggesting 504 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 13: anything untoward happened. Quite a few number, quite a few 505 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 13: questions still remain, of course. But when we heard from 506 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 13: David Sando, he said it just sent chills down his spine. 507 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 13: And it's because once he got that phone call. It's 508 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 13: because of what happened in Laos recently and that tragedy 509 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 13: where that left two teenage Ossie's dead. And I think 510 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 13: that's what he was thinking when he got that phone called. 511 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 13: He was thinking the worst. 512 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. And Fiji didn't appreciate him actually mentioning the 513 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: worst because as they've driven to point out, it hasn't 514 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 2: been nearly as bad as that, and of course that 515 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 2: depended on the tourism. So we wait for the toxicology 516 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 2: report exactly. Meanwhile, it's pretty pretty hot on your neck 517 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 2: of the woods. 518 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 13: I'm sweating as we speak, really, I really am. 519 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 2: Hold on, it's three o'clock in the morning. 520 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 13: It's all well, it is warm, so the call chain 521 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 13: has come through. But yesterday was absolutely a scorture for 522 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 13: most of Australia. Victoria, for instance, recorded its highest December 523 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 13: temperature in five years. And it's impacting South Australia, Northern 524 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 13: territory in your south. Wow, I was Queensland an as 525 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 13: I mentioned at Victoria. The Weather Bureau is said that 526 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 13: wholly up in Victoria's northwest recorded wait for it forty 527 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 13: seven degrees mid afternoon. Other places reached mid forties. That's 528 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 13: twelve to twenty degrees above the December average. Yes, it's 529 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 13: really really warm. In Adelaide it was thirty eight degrees 530 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 13: by ten am yesterday. In Melbourne it reached thirty degrees 531 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 13: by nine am and by late afternoon thirty nine degrees. 532 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 13: And of course a lot of concern for the fire 533 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 13: danger and everyone is on a high alert and the 534 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 13: fire services especially thankfully, a mild you know, relatively you know, 535 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 13: anticipated highly anticipated cal change came through last night. The 536 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 13: gave a sudden relief. 537 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 2: You stay called John. 538 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 13: You can barely sweek, I can barely speak. 539 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 2: I'm so warm. Thank just so much for your time today. 540 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 2: Text through from Steve, who says uperplex by the New 541 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: Zealand media hasn't mentioned the drone situation plaguing the East 542 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: coast of the States. It's all over the international news 543 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 2: and very interesting. Well we did. We talked about that 544 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 2: half an hour ago, Steve. You should have got up. 545 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: Remember the early bird gets the worm. 546 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: Andrew dickens. 547 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: So the government's making moves to refocus local councils on 548 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 2: core services and to improve their accountability for ratepayers. Councils 549 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 2: will be focused on delivering basic services without paying attention 550 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 2: to the four well beings, which is social, environmental, economic 551 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 2: and cultural. I will also be required to do a 552 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 2: yearly report so people can compare rate increases, council spending 553 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 2: and debt to other councils. A leaderboard, if you will. 554 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: The Mayor of Queenstown is Glenn Lewis, who joins me 555 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: right now. Glynn, Hello Martin, do you focus on the 556 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: basics or not? 557 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 14: We hesty given a large portion of the visitor population 558 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 14: to our district. 559 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: So so hearing all this yesterday, how did you feel? 560 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 14: Look? This was well signed hosted earlier in the year 561 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 14: by the Minister and the Prime Minister at the Local 562 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 14: government conference, so it came to me as no surprise. 563 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: Sure, but how do you feel? 564 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 14: Look? I think some of the stuff asking for it's 565 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 14: all publicly available information now, so just go to collate 566 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 14: it and put a lable doesn't make me, I mean 567 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 14: not to my feelings about it. It's the information's there, 568 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 14: they're just going to publish it in a different format. 569 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: This is absolutely true. The media used to do that. 570 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: When we have more reporters that's true. And of course 571 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: the question is our council's less transparent than central government. 572 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 2: And I would actually argue that councils are more transparent 573 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: than central government. I mean, how often do you get 574 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: to see the debate about what the finance minister is 575 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 2: doing with the budget? 576 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 577 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 14: Look, all our workshops and decision making is all open 578 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 14: to the public. We don't have closed corks every Monday, 579 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 14: so and governments don't have to produce ten year budgets 580 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 14: or have asset management plans for all the assets they own. 581 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 14: So I think a local government suit me, let's say, 582 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 14: has better methodologies and looking after the assets they own 583 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 14: on behalf of the rate payers. 584 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: But the point being, the government has got into a 585 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: vibe that councilors need to do better. So will these 586 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 2: measures make councilors do things better? 587 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 14: No, they'll just make them do them the same as 588 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 14: they've always done them in the last teen fifteen years, because, 589 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 14: like I said, all the accountability measures as they call them, 590 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 14: we're doing anyway and they're just going to report them differently. 591 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 14: And the whole problem is that no one reads those 592 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 14: documents anyway. I'm telling now my rate payers don't get 593 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 14: into the detail of my lot, tom plan, or the 594 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 14: annual plan or the annual report. I don't know how 595 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 14: another document is going to solve it. 596 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: Yes, you are accountable. It's called the vote. Glenn l 597 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: Well said, thank you very much. Glynn is the mayor 598 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: of Queenstown and it is now eight minutes to six. 599 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Andrew Dickens, on early edition 600 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a play 601 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: at store Youth Talk. 602 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 2: Said, be so this morning. I mentioned the fact that 603 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 2: I read the death notices every day, and today I 604 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: saw David Weatherley's death notice. You know Cookie bed, don't 605 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: you do? And it made me sad. He got to 606 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 2: eighty five. And Craig said in a text years ago, 607 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: when I was a panel beating apprentice, my boss used 608 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: to read the death notices every single morning and he 609 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 2: said to us if he saw one of our names, 610 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: he would give us the day off. Paid good one. Craig, Hello, Heather, 611 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: how are you do you know? 612 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 10: I really worry Just on another subject, I worry about 613 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 10: your hearing quite. 614 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: A lot because my headphones allowed. 615 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 10: Your headphones are they no?

Yeah, 625 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 2: it's because of old rock and roll radio. You know, 626 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 2: you want to be inside the radio. You're inside the radio, 627 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 2: not like the radio is over there, Yeah, and you 628 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 2: just want to get into it.

And the other day there was 634 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 10: something was beeping and I think it might have been 635 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 10: the microwave or something like that, and he didn't hear it, 636 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 10: could not hear it. Everybody was sitting there going what 637 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 10: is even even the three year old was like what 638 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 10: that noise?

We're going to talk about counsels because counsels 658 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 10: clearly are not getting the message from the government that 659 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 10: they need to focus their spending in the right way. 660 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 10: And so the Government's decided yesterday to legislate and just 661 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 10: force them to do it. Thank god. Counsels are just 662 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 10: wasting everybody's time, wasting everybody's money.
