Can the 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: middle class really not afford rent? And if so, how 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: come we handing out grocery vouchers to entice you? In 9 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: Mark and Jenny Politics, Wednesday, Richard Arnold, State Side, Steve Price. 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 3: In Australia Posky. 11 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: Middle of the week, welcome to it, seven past six, 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: So a question for you to start off this morning. 13 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 2: Who's right? The rental market is like musical chairs. There's 14 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: a headline from yesterday, the rental market is like musical chairs. 15 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 2: Landlords are offering grocery vouchers and incentives to sign up 16 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: for rentals. But headline number two, even the middle class 17 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 2: are struggling to pay rent. But story number three, a 18 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: report I read by JB. Weir about wealth transfer, which 19 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: is actually a story in itself that upshot is we 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: are the seventh wealthiest country on earth. If you do 21 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 2: the media, I e. Half above, half below with the 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: fifth wealthiest. So if we're so wealthy, how come we 23 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: can't afford rent? And if we can't afford rent, how 24 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: come they're offering grocery vouchers to luris and none others? 25 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: Make sense? The answer, of course, lies in the specifics 26 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: of each story. The middle class line came from a 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: unionist they called an economist in the story, so a 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: man with an agenda. Obviously he cited a teacher on 29 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: sixty thousand dollars a year. Now, teachers don't earn sixty 30 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year. Will only the new ones do, 31 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 2: the young ones. But let's be frank, if you are 32 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: new and young and starting on those early wages, you 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: should be flatting. As for the voucher's story, well, that's 34 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: a reflection of the good news. Rentals are not rising 35 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: the way they were because of supply. Thousands more houses 36 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: are on the market. There are some more houses than punters. 37 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: So that sort of supply demand equation is good, of 38 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: course for the consumer. So if you drum up the 39 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: worst case scenario, guess what you'll find a problem closely 40 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: followed by a headline. But what of this wealth transfer 41 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: wealth interesting report. Billions is changing hands as the boomers 42 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: die and the kids get the inheritance. Women are disproportionately 43 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: benefiting over men. It will carry on, apparently well into 44 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: the twenty forties, and is a reminder that we are 45 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: not in fact a squalid, broke backwater that many would 46 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: make us out to be. Yes, we may well be 47 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: a low paid or low wage economy, but we are 48 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 2: not as economically divided as many would make out. We 49 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: are not broken, and through things like housing, vast sums 50 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: have been amassed and it's currently being bequeathed and left 51 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: to others. The trick is to read the detail, not 52 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: fall for the headline. Of course, can some not afford rent, Yes, 53 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: of course, but it's not the norm. That's your story. 54 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: But then that doesn't make a good headline. 55 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 4: Wow. 56 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: News of the World in ninety seconds, World. 57 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: War Talk this morning. It is one in the afternoon 58 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: in Washington, eight at night in Moscow, and in the scenes. 59 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 5: In fact, it's the quiet stuff that Donald Trump has 60 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 5: been saying out loud, is that Ukraine will have to 61 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 5: concede some land to Russia if there is to be 62 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 5: a peace deal. Will that be crimea. Will it be 63 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 5: more than that. 64 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 2: Then the other war, which isn't going so well, enter 65 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 2: the United Nations. 66 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 6: First order is fired to be fully respected. Second for 67 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 6: humanitarian aids to have access to Gaza in an unimpedied 68 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 6: way and serve for the unconditional release of ostriches. 69 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: The Israeli is not really buying into Antonio's thinking. 70 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 7: Let me be very clear as well, We'll not stop 71 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 7: until all of our hostages are back home. 72 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: On the ground, it's hard work in Gaza. 73 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 8: I did six operations overnight. Half of them were in 74 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 8: small children, probably six in the level. Most of them 75 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 8: are going to go on to die unfortunately, but. 76 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just utter carnage as usual when you drop 77 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 9: on sometimes. 78 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: Then a Britain dyd arrived for the government and the 79 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: welfare reformed. Billions that have been saved and fingers needed pointing. 80 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 10: The consequences of this failure are there for all to see. 81 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 10: Millions of people who could work, trapped on benefits, denied 82 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 10: the income, hope, dignity and self respect. That we know, 83 00:03:59,360 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 10: good work. 84 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: She's a labor minister. Toy's not impressed. 85 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 11: They walked into the department with empty notebooks, all that 86 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 11: done in opposition is a pose. 87 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 10: Instead of the hard work of coming up. 88 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: With their own answers. 89 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 10: That's why the country has had to wait another eight 90 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 10: months for this announcement. 91 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: And that is news of the world in ninety seconds. 92 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: Speaking of the British politics, Sir Kimmy Badnock gave a speech. 93 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: It is her words, impossible, impossible for the UK to 94 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 2: meet its net zero target by twenty fifty without quote 95 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: unquote a serious drop in our living standards, or by 96 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: bankrupting us. When you're that explicit and that deliberate, one 97 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: wonders if the whole nit zero thing is slowly but 98 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: surely and that's before you get the Americans involved. It 99 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: is slowly but surely coming to an end. Twelve past six. 100 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: The mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 101 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: by News Talk. 102 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: Zippy phone calling it at about half an hour ago. 103 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 2: We'll get the details as soon as we can. Richard 104 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: Arnold on standby. Of course, German Bundestarg voted in favor 105 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: that big debt break thing's gone. They've got the half 106 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: trillion dollars they did the deal. The vote was five 107 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: thirteen to two oh seven, half a trillion dollars a 108 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: lot of money and they don't actually have it, so 109 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: it's all debt. They needed two thirds of course, because 110 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: it was constitutional. Now goes to the Bundesraut, which is 111 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: the parliament that sorts out these states. That's in Germany 112 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: this morning, fifteen past six, but open am I Wealth 113 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: Andrew Callaha, good. 114 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 8: Morning, very good morning, Mike. 115 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: Dairy auction. The dairy auction looked okay but flat but okay. 116 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's no news good news. 117 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: I think it is. 118 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 7: So the global dairy trade auction overnight and precisely no 119 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 7: movement at all in the global dairy price in zero 120 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 7: point zero percent. The thing is, Mike Key, you've now 121 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 7: had three auctions in a row of relatively stable prices, 122 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 7: so in the middle of February minus point six, early 123 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 7: March minus point five and last night zero points aera. 124 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 7: But I think the key point there is exact actly 125 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 7: that stability. The overnight it really boiled down to a 126 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 7: little offset between skim milk powder which feul point four 127 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 7: percent and whole milk powder which was upper point two percent. 128 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 7: The smaller commodity players motsrella looking quite strong up five 129 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 7: point one percent, but up one point one percent. I 130 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 7: think market players or people in the industry here will 131 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 7: happily just move on. This won't impact I wouldn't have 132 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 7: thought on the farm gate milk price. And we've talked 133 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 7: regularly about the aggre sector leading us into economic recovery, 134 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 7: and from the out of this numbers, there's no reason 135 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 7: to change that story. 136 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 2: No good stuff. B y D Chinese ev maker. This 137 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: charger of five minutes for four hundred k's. 138 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 8: It seems fantastical, doesn't it. So we're talking electric cars now. 139 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 7: I'm sort of looking at this also through the lens 140 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 7: of Tesla because it's been under a lot of pressure. 141 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 8: The fundamentals on. 142 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 7: The business, they're a little challenged at the moment in 143 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 7: terms of sales. You got this consumer backlash against the 144 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 7: company or probably more pointedly Elon Musk. They've got sale challenges, 145 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 7: particularly in Europe and in China, And of course it 146 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 7: trades on a very very extended valuation, and when you're 147 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 7: trading on an extended valuation, sentiment becomes very important because 148 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 7: that's the really only thing holding it up. But the 149 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 7: really important factor, Mike is also competition, because the competitive 150 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 7: environment is really heading up and yesterday clear example of this, 151 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 7: So build your dreams. BYD announced this key development yesterday. 152 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 7: As you say, Chinese listed multinational company that makes electric cars. 153 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 7: They have now trumped Tesla with a new system for 154 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 7: electric cars that they says will allow them to charge 155 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 7: your car in about the same time as it takes 156 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 7: you to fill your petrol car. 157 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 8: So this is the super E platform. 158 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 7: They say, four hundred commeters arrange in a five minute charge, 159 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 7: which just seems you know, seems amazing, doesn't it. But 160 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 7: you do need cars that support this technology. They're going 161 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 7: on sale next month, so you can't rock up in 162 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 7: your Preas or your miss and Leaf and do this. 163 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 7: Tesla's now Tesla's Chines shipment fell forty nine percent in 164 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 7: February from a year earlier. That's the lowest there've been 165 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 7: since July twenty twenty. So I don't think this is going. 166 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 8: To help that. Let's have a quick look at the 167 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 8: share prices a year to date. 168 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 7: It's Tesla down forty three percent, BYD up fifty one percent. 169 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 8: There's your contrast. 170 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 7: The only thing I would say, Mike, are we're just 171 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 7: doing the same thing again, is BYD that it's now 172 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 7: got a market cap of one. 173 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 8: Hundred and sixty two billion US dollars. 174 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 7: That's more than the combined value of Ford, GM and 175 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 7: VW combined. So are we just repeating the same exercise 176 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 7: with a different company. 177 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 8: We'll have to wait and see. 178 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: All right, bring us on to the land. The rural 179 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: confidence that's got to be up, doesn't it. 180 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, Look as this is back to the farmers. 181 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 7: And so we've seen the good prices for dry general 182 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 7: and a key issue here, look really looks that they're 183 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 7: going to get two seasons at though high high prices. 184 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 7: So you get this wonderful boost of confidence rather back 185 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 7: producer rural Confidence Index. The third consecutive quarterly lift in 186 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 7: rural confidence. 187 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 8: Ain't no stopping them now, Mike. 188 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 7: And as said agrisector leading us into economic recovery, which 189 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 7: is a wonderful thing. This confidence is lifted on the 190 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 7: back of improved sentiment though here's the key point among 191 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 7: sheep and beef farmers, so they're feeling the love as 192 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 7: well so of the positive farms out there. This optimism 193 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 7: being driven of course by higher commodity prices and also 194 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 7: falling interest rates. Look, farmers expectations for their own businesses 195 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 7: they were backed slightly from last quarter but remained pretty strong. 196 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 7: So then that's plus forty four from plus thirty four, 197 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 7: second highest reading in the last decade. Fifty two percent 198 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 7: of farmers are now expecting the performance of the broader 199 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 7: agri economy to prove to improve in the year ahead. 200 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 7: The only point of interest I saw in the survey, 201 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 7: mic is that dairy farmers are getting a little worried. 202 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 8: They're just getting a little worried about this is. 203 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 7: About their own performance, and it seems that dry where 204 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 7: the tariff's government policy of their tempering confidence. 205 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 8: But the good times just keep rolling on out there. 206 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: Mike, I like it, give me some numbers. 207 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 7: So we're sitting around waiting to listen to Jensen Ung 208 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 7: talk who's the bottle of Nvidio? And that could be 209 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 7: pivotal for the short term confidence in the mag seven. 210 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 7: But at the moment, the Dow Jones is down three 211 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 7: hundred and seventy nine points.

They've 242 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: been scrapping over the airb and b's of late because 243 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: so many people had the airbnbs, wore running their properties 244 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: as airbnbs, and the government, which is socialist of course, 245 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: decided that wasn't good enough. So they decided they were 246 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: to say you couldn't do it. So they went to 247 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: court and the local authorities will not renew tourism licenses 248 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: for short term rentals after twenty twenty eight, so they've 249 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: sort of blown up the airbnb market. Meantime, in Portugal 250 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: they've blown up the government. The government has sort of 251 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 2: blown up themselves. There was a confidence motion held and 252 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 2: they lost it. The irony was the government put the 253 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: confidence motion forward after the opposition announced they were going 254 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: to have it.

He's the Prime Minister, Louis Montenegro, 256 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: so they thought he was a bit dodgy. Announced a 257 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: parliamentary inquiry, so the government put forward a confidence vote. 258 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 2: They lost at one forty two to eighty eight, so 259 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: they are now heading for elections in May six, twenty five. 260 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: Trending now quill Chemistwell House the home of big brand 261 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: fighter Man. 262 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: You're the busy old interesting world at the moment, isn't 263 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 2: it Happy Gilmore?

Eleven percent of sixteen 287 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: to nineteen year olds are not in training. And now, 288 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: why in this country we allow people to leave school. 289 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with leaving school, but to leave school not 290 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: to go into training or be an education or a job. 291 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: How we allow this to happen. I've got no idea, 292 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: but we do so anyway, the eleven percent of sixteen 293 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: to nineteen year olds are in that particular position. There 294 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: are more of them than there are that go into 295 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: work based training.

So initially they've agreed 307 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: to just infrastructure and energy that's from the US from 308 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: the Russians. They've expressed mutual interest in normalizing relations.

So what Trent does is either sell it 314 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: as a success, which it isn't Ori imposes something on 315 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: Russia to get them back to the table. But Richard 316 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: Arnold Shortley twenty two to seven, being time back here 317 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: a new report this morning that suggests we need overhaul 318 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: of the apprenticeship system. Nearly twice as many school leaders 319 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: fall into unemployment compete to those in the workplace learning. 320 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: I mean, how on earth did this happen?

Why do we allow that to happen? 327 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 13: Well, it's not so much. What we allow to happen 328 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 13: is what we incentivize and what we put in front 329 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 13: of young people. The fact is that university education has 330 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 13: much higher status in New Zealand than apprenticeship training. That 331 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 13: can trusts really strongly with countries like Germany, which has 332 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 13: half of its young people leaving school going straight into apprenticeships. 333 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 13: We need to do much more at various levels of 334 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 13: the system to bring together apprenticeship training into a coherent 335 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 13: system so that young people are aware of its existence 336 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 13: and also see it as a high status option. 337 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: When I was at school, and it's a long time ago, 338 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: the Dunce class, or what we called the Dunce class, 339 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 2: they were the kids who were identified as they weren't 340 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: going to university, they traped off to the local factory 341 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: to look at factory work. Is that the sort of 342 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 2: thing we need to go back to. In other words, 343 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: give them options and open doors for them to see 344 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 2: what's out there. 345 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 13: Well well, seeing apprenticeship training as a being for the 346 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 13: kids who don't cope for the academic part. As part 347 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 13: of the problem. We need to rearrange the system so 348 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 13: that young people, regardless of their background and propensities, look 349 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 13: at apprenticeship training as a viable option. It shouldn't just 350 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 13: be for the kids who are judged not to be 351 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 13: good at a kind of normal schoolwork. 352 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: And so how does that work. Does the school need 353 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: to change the ratitude, or does education need to change 354 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: the ratitude, or does industry need to get into schools 355 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 2: and go here's what engineering is, and here are all 356 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 2: the availabilities to you. 357 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, kind of all of the above. So you know, 358 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 13: one thing that we can do is bring together existing 359 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 13: schemes for secondary school into a coherent system. And I'm 360 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 13: talking about the provisions under Youth Guarantee. So there's great 361 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 13: stuff there, like trade academies that allows young people to 362 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 13: have a dual enrollment at school and at a tertiary institution, 363 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 13: the gateway funding and the vocational pathways that give kind 364 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 13: of assessment options for pathways into apprenticeships. So that's kind 365 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 13: of school level stuff. And then we have to look 366 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 13: at the way apprentices are paid to incentivize businesses to 367 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 13: take more of them on. So I'm talking about a 368 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 13: graduated apprenticeship wage so that they get less at first 369 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 13: and more later. Maybe a bonding system to encourage employers 370 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 13: to take more. 371 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 2: See what you're telling me, Michaels. I mean, with all 372 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: due respect to you, it is fairly obvious. Do we 373 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: want to do this? Is that part of the problem 374 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 2: we haven't thought about it, or we have thought about 375 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 2: it but can't be bothered, or I mean none of 376 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: this seems hard. 377 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 13: Well, it requires joined up thinking from secondary to tertiary 378 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 13: and for the training institutions to the businesses to the schools. 379 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 13: So it's a matter of coordinating bringing the pieces together, 380 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 13: and I guess that is politically difficult. It requires moving 381 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 13: some funding around probably, and in times as we have 382 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 13: at the moment where the government has no spare money, 383 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 13: they have to do it in a budget neutral way. 384 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting. All right, Michael, appreciate your time. Michael Johnson 385 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 2: the report by the New Zealand Initiative.

I agree. I couldn't 412 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: agree with you more, Mike. The EtCO apprenticeship programs a 413 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 2: joe it incentivisers set up to not qualify them and 414 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: to make money for them as long as possible. Might 415 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: check out the Trades Academy at one Tree Hill College 416 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 2: that's in Auckland. All SCHO schools should be doing this Gateway. 417 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 2: I liked one of ours went to Gateway or through 418 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: the Gateway program, thought they were going to be an 419 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: early childhood educator, spent some time in a preschool, decided 420 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: they didn't, which is a shame for preschool. But nevertheless, 421 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: at least it got you out there, so it's not 422 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: like we haven't done it or tried it. It just 423 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: doesn't appear to be working. 424 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 4: Fourteen to two International correspondence with ends an eye insurance, 425 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 4: peace of mind for New Zealand business, which. 426 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: Did oudside morning. What do you make so but underwhelming this. 427 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 4: Call so far? 428 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 15: Yeah, President Trump course talked up this telephone chat with Putin, 429 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 15: said Trump before the call took place. 430 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 3: Good to see if we can work in peace agreement 431 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 3: to ceasfire and peace, and I think we'll. 432 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 4: Be able to do well. 433 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 15: This was the call where Trump said he would get 434 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 15: the criminals' response to the seafire plane that Ukraine already 435 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 15: under pressure, is signed on for with Ukraine. Zelensky accusing 436 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 15: Putin of storing how long does it take? Putin say yes, 437 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 15: he said, so, it's not that, is it. The first 438 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 15: readout says an initial ceasefire would be for energy issues. 439 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 15: That'd be a starting point. The two then agreed there 440 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 15: would be benefits from renewed US Russia contacts. The extent 441 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 15: of that, well, that's unclear as well. So far, there 442 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 15: is also talk of a prisoner exchange involving some hundred people. Aside, 443 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 15: further negotiations would take place through continuing diplomacy so these 444 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 15: are not the security and territorial issues. 445 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 16: Are they? 446 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 15: Putin was late for the phone call, which began nearly 447 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 15: two hours out of the expected time. Putin, of course 448 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 15: notorious for such diplomatic games. You know, back when Ungela 449 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 15: Merkel was German Chancellor, she was terrified of dogs at 450 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 15: Putin brought his dog into the Kremlin meeting room to 451 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 15: scare her, said Merkel. Nothing of the kind, said Putin. 452 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 16: Sure. 453 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 15: Meantime, Putin is said to be demanding that the US 454 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 15: stop will armshipments to Ukraine, along with other big conditions. 455 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 15: So the question is what will Trump do if Putin 456 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 15: repudiates the Trump effort on those main counts. We are 457 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 15: yet to find. Trump also busy on another front. As 458 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 15: the head of the U. S. Supreme Court, Chief Justice 459 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 15: John Roberts has slammed a Trump calls for the impeachment 460 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 15: of judges who rule against him. The Chief Justice saying 461 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 15: in a rare written statement, quote impeachment is not an 462 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 15: appropriate response for disagreement concerning a judicial decision. He says, 463 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 15: the normal appellate process exists for that purpose. This relates 464 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 15: to the Trump move to expel some one hundred and 465 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 15: thirty Venezuelans that the US claims, without a lot of 466 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 15: evidence being given, claims they are gang members. They were 467 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 15: sent to El Salvador, which is established some of the 468 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 15: most severe prisons on earth. A federal judge ordered a 469 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 15: whold of these deportations, but three aircraft went off to 470 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 15: El Salvador anyway, two or in flight when the judge's 471 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 15: order was given. Trump is doing this using a seventeen 472 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 15: to eighty eight law that applies to wartime conditions, and Trump, 473 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 15: in a social media post called the judge a quote 474 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 15: troublemaker and agitator who should be impeached. Trump aids also 475 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 15: are railing over this, says Trump's borders are Tom Homan. 476 00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 12: Or not stopping. 477 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 13: I don't care what the judges think. 478 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 2: I don't care the lap thanks were coming. 479 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 15: Don't care what judges think. Really, while Trump, inside of 480 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 15: Stephen Miller also is ranting about the judge. 481 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 8: He didn't know what damn thing. 482 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 16: He didn't care about the lives of those officers. 483 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 13: He didn't care about the national security of this country. 484 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 15: So that's the fire storm the Chief justice is entering 485 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 15: in the so called democracy. When just the other day, 486 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 15: when Trump was addressing the Congress. He patted the head 487 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 15: of the Supreme Court chief and thanked the Chief Justice, 488 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 15: adding he wouldn't forget what he has done. That seemed 489 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 15: like Trump thanking the highest judge in the country for 490 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 15: writing the immunity decision that saved Trump for potential jail 491 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 15: time in the federal election interference case. Trump now says no, no, no, 492 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 15: he wasn't referring to criminal immunity for US presidents, but 493 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 15: was merely thanking him for delivering the oath of office 494 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 15: when Trump was sworn in. 495 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: Okay, a win splashed down a bit. 496 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 15: Over four hours. We're talking about this crew, these two 497 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 15: American astronaut Sunny Williams and Butch Wilmore, who had their 498 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 15: original eight day mission extended just a little right nearly 499 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 15: nine months. They've been up on the International Space Station. 500 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 15: There was a problem with their SpaceX capsule. Now they're 501 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 15: coming home on a SpaceX dragon ship and set to 502 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 15: land in a short time. Sonny Williams short sounded relieved 503 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 15: when their rescue ship arrived earlier today. Here's what she 504 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 15: had to say. It was a wonderful day. 505 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 10: Great to see our friends arrive. 506 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: So thank you so much. 507 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 15: You could hear it in the voice. They climbed aboard 508 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 15: the dragon craft, which then began it's seventeen hour return flights. 509 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 17: Sonny Williams and Butch Wilmore began their pleaded trip. 510 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 15: You know, when they get back, they'll undergo a lot 511 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 15: of medical tests before they can reunite with families. That's 512 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 15: because zero gravity effects almost every part of a human body. 513 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 15: You get one third less muscle after just two weeks 514 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 15: up in space. With long stint like this, you lose 515 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 15: some bone mass, Your eyesight gets blurry, your head balloons 516 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 15: a little bit, You get what they call chicken legs. 517 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 15: Your heart and immune system are affected. Also, NASA's saying, 518 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 15: after some time back on Earth, you recover mostly. 519 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: Okay, Richard and Onnild back on Friday on the program. 520 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: By the way, very good piece reprinted in the Herald 521 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 2: yesterday from the New York Times by Kristen Salters Anderson, 522 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 2: who's a polster, looking at why Trump's and trouble pole 523 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: wise and concludes that basically the number one issue is 524 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: the economy. It was always the economy, and they don't 525 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: understand what he's trying to do with tariffs, and all 526 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: they see is everything going up in price and also 527 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: around expectation. What they thought he was about and what 528 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 2: he is about appear to be increasingly two different things. 529 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 2: So that's well worth a read if you're following such matters. 530 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: Nine away from seven. 531 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: The Mike asking breakfast with Alveda retirement Communities News Togs 532 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: had been. 533 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 2: Right, so Trump is a bit stuck on this. It 534 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 2: was emphasized. This is the readout from the Kremlin. It 535 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 2: was emphasized that the key condition for preventing escalation of 536 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 2: the conflict and working towards its resolution by political diplomatic means, 537 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: et cetera, should be the complete cessation of foreign military 538 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 2: aid and the provision of intelligence information to keep it. 539 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 2: In other words, turn off the intelligence that's not happening. 540 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's not happening. In connection with Trump's recent 541 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 2: appeal to save the lives of Ukrainian serviceman surrounded the 542 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: Curse region, this is what Trump was talking about yesterday 543 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: when he was at the Kennedy Center. Putin confirmed that 544 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 2: the Russian side is ready to be guided by humanitarian 545 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 2: considerations and in the event of surrender, guarantees the lives 546 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 2: of the Ukrainian Armed Force soldiers and decent treatment in accordance 547 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: with Russian laws and international law, which I think are 548 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 2: probably two completely different things. The call was concluded, and 549 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: this hasn't been widely reported. This is why the show 550 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 2: is so good at what it does. Donald Trump supported 551 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin's idea to organize hockey matches in the US 552 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 2: and Russia between Russian and American players and the NHL 553 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 2: and the KHL. 554 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 8: Oh, there you go. 555 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 2: It wasn't a vast after all. It was exactly so 556 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 2: they got the hockey sort. Thank god for that. Five 557 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven. 558 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 4: The ins and the outs. 559 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: It's the fears with business Fiber take your business productivity 560 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: to the next list now. 561 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,719 Speaker 2: Has common since finally come to streaming. From today, if 562 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 2: you've got Amazon Prime, you'll be able to access Apple 563 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 2: TV as an add on. So you're on Prime, you 564 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 2: go straight to Apple. You're still going to pay for 565 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: it fourteen ninety nine a month, but it means you 566 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: don't have to download another wrap on your TV or 567 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: switch between screaming. So what Amazon now offer as well 568 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: as Apples all that other streaming stuff they put up 569 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: a couple of months ago. They got MGM plus and 570 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 2: Lionsgate and Hayu and crunchy Roll and dock Play and 571 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 2: all that. It's also slightly weird, and I'm going to 572 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 2: confuse myself. Here's a little bit weird because Prime links 573 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 2: from the Apple TV home screen, so Apple I actually 574 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: did it first, but Prime of copy them. So whatever 575 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: that means, it doesn't really matter. All it means is 576 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 2: you get Apple on Prime. So there is a free 577 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 2: v Also they're offering at the moment to tempt you 578 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 2: New Zealand customers get seven days free trial for any 579 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 2: Amazon add on subscriptions. Although having said that, I tried that. 580 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 2: I went to watch Over the Summer, the Paul Simon documentary, 581 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 2: and that was on doc Play, But then to get 582 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 2: onto dock Play, I had to then start signing up 583 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: and giving details of my name and address. And I've 584 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: got stories about. 585 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 16: That for you. 586 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 2: Before seven thirty this morning. I had a run in 587 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 2: with one New Zealand yesterday, which isn't really a streamer. 588 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: They are a telco, but they are to do with tech, 589 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: and anything to do with tech really gets up my 590 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 2: nose and head and does my head in and it's 591 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: sort of ruined my day. But more on that later, 592 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 2: but anyway, so if you want the three trial b 593 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: where be worn, four warned is fore arms, rolling stone, 594 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: gathers no moss and all those other things. Now the 595 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: war times too, So first of all, what do we 596 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 2: make of this phone call as far as they can 597 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: work out to bust for Trump, he's not delivered on 598 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: this or anywhere close to it. What happens next? Then 599 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 2: the Middle East the ceasefires off. But then again didn't 600 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: we say that was going to happen, because it happened 601 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: about one hundred and fifty times over, So we'll deal 602 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: with that. Then we've got politics Wednesday with Mark Mitchell, 603 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: who is in India by the way, so he'll be 604 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: coming in from India in the early hours of the 605 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 2: morning along with Ginny Ands. And that's after way on 606 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 2: the my hosting vision. 607 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: The only report you need to start your day the 608 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: mic casting breakfast with the range Rover, the LA designed 609 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: to intrigue and use. 610 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: Togsda'd be seven past seven. So a couple of days 611 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 2: ago on the Air Force one back to Washington, we 612 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 2: were talking about land power plants and debiding up certain assets. 613 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 2: That was going to be the phone call where the 614 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: phone calls come and gone, it seems to who have 615 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: had limited success. A non resident senior fellow at the 616 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: Center for European Policy Analysis said, with Lucas has with 617 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 2: us on, they said good morning to you, Good morning mate. 618 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 2: What do you make of what we've heard so far? 619 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty thin pickings. Really. The thing that struck 620 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: me most was not the call, but what happened beforehand, 621 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 3: when Putin was on some live panel as a conference 622 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 3: and the moderator said, aren't you meant to be having 623 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 3: your call with Trump just now? And the sort of 624 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 3: widespread laughter because of Putin's famous weaponized unpunctuality. So I 625 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 3: do feel that he's showing the respects to Trump that 626 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 3: Pump shows to Putin, and perhaps the rather thin pickings 627 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 3: out of the call reflect that in. 628 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: The sense of what we've got specifically, in other words, 629 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 2: until they cut off for intelligence, until they cut off 630 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 2: aid we're not talking or going any further. Was that 631 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 2: always expected from Russia and therefore we shouldn't be surprised. 632 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 3: I think that the what we expect from Russia is 633 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 3: to spin things out and to try and and then 634 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 3: bog things down. So the thing that leaped out at 635 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 3: me was the idea of a maritime ceasefire in the 636 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 3: Black Sea. Now, is that cover for Russia being able 637 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 3: to get its neighbor out of its navy out of 638 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 3: the little corner of the Black Sea it's retreated to 639 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 3: because of Ukrainian drones. That would be quite a bad 640 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 3: thing if it means that Russia won't attack grain shits 641 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: coming in and out of a death So that's a 642 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 3: good thing. The second thing that really struck me was 643 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 3: the need to stop proliferation of strategic weapons. Now that's 644 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: presumably a reference to the way in which European countries feel, 645 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 3: pretests scared about the loss of the American neutral umbrella, 646 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 3: and there's a lot of discussion in Europe about what 647 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 3: we could do with British or French nukes and whether 648 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 3: other countries are going to need nukes too. So that's 649 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: a sign that Russian's notice about that. And the third 650 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 3: thing that struck me was this idea that there was 651 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 3: a huge upside to an improved bilateral relationship to the 652 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 3: Americans and Russians. And that shows me to me that 653 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 3: the Americans are willing to cut the Europeans loose and 654 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 3: go for what they think is a good deal with 655 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 3: Russia and hang the rest of US. 656 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 2: I was just going to ask about you, where does 657 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: that leave them? And can I now argue that Sea 658 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: told you Putent doesn't want peace. 659 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 3: I think it leaves the E on the sidelines really 660 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 3: for now, because it just shows that the dynamic is 661 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 3: what we've always feared here in Europe, is that the 662 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 3: negotiations will be about us, but without us, and that 663 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 3: really is what's going on. This war in Ukraine isn't 664 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 3: just an invasion of Ukraine. It's a kind of an 665 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 3: attempt by Putin to be set the whole idea of 666 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 3: European security and the idea that European countries can choose 667 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 3: who their allies and alliances are going to be, and 668 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 3: that's now being decided over our heads. So I think 669 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,959 Speaker 3: that the next thing probably is that the Europeans are 670 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: going to be pushing back on this and saying to 671 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 3: the Ukrainians, look, we've got your back, dir't be bullied, 672 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 3: don't be bullied. And the gap across the Atlantic, then 673 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 3: he's going to get wider and wider. 674 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 2: Okay, it would appreciate the insight very much here, but 675 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 2: Lucas non residency and you fell out at the center 676 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 2: of a European policy analysis. Will get him back on 677 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 2: the program, because this thing's going nowhere fast. Ten minutes 678 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: past seven last one time the other war, of course, 679 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: as well as launched these new strikes and Gaza negotiations. 680 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 2: For the past couple of weeks, we've gone nowhere. Of course, 681 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: the international geopolitical analyst Jeffrey Miller is back with us. 682 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: Jeffrey morning, Good morning. Mind. This does have the same old, 683 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: same old feel about it, isn't It wasn't very hard 684 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 2: to predict that Phase two probably wasn't going to be 685 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 2: a thing and the bombs would start falling again. Where 686 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 2: does this go? Do you reckon? 687 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 18: Yes? 688 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 19: Look, the surprise really was that the cease file lasted 689 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 19: as long as it did, almost two whole months, and 690 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 19: it was a success. It took Gaza off the front 691 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 19: pages for around eight weeks and we started looking at 692 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 19: tariffs and back to the war in Ukraine. But now 693 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 19: we're back at square one and it was the deadiest 694 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 19: twenty four hour period in the war since November twenty 695 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 19: twenty three. We have a four hundred kil It's a 696 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 19: desperately sad situation and we absolutely need to keep applicating 697 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 19: for that ceasfire to be resumed, because it's now looking 698 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 19: increasingly grim. Israel's Defense minister is promising the gates as 699 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 19: hell will open if Hamas does not release the remaining 700 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 19: twenty four hostages, and it could go from bad to words. 701 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 2: Is Israel right, give us the hostages and we've got 702 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 2: a deal and they haven't handed over the hostages. 703 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 19: Well, look, the devil is always in the detail. There 704 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 19: has been some real success with the CSIRE since January, 705 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 19: you've had twenty five hostages released alive. I think the 706 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 19: correct approach would have been to continue negotiating and the 707 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 19: talks we're on going. The official first day of the 708 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 19: CSIRE ended in the start of March and since then 709 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 19: we've been in a holding period. But negotiations broke down 710 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 19: and Doha at the weekend over the extension of the ceasfire. 711 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 19: Hamas wanted to move into phase two, Israel wanted to 712 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 19: extend phase one. And now Israel has just gone and 713 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 19: with military approach. It's been greenlit by Donald Trump. So 714 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 19: Donald Trump deserves a lot of the credit for bringing 715 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 19: that ceestire about in January, but he also deserves the 716 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 19: blame now for allowing this to happen, and ultimately the 717 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 19: only way through now here is through Donald Trump. Donald 718 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 19: Trump was incredibly powerful. We saw how Joe Biden was 719 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 19: very impotent when it came to Gaza and Nettagnard, who 720 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 19: did what he pleased. Trump does hold all the cards, 721 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 19: as he might say on Gaza at the moment. 722 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 2: All right, Jeffrey, appreciate it, Jeffrey Miller, international geopolitical analyst. 723 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 2: But he won't be feeling particularly good about the phone calling. 724 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 2: He might be a bit stretched. I mean, there's only 725 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 2: so many things you can promise and eventually you got 726 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: to deliver. Thirteen minutes past seven tasking Lornie, Mike, I'm 727 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 2: a trade employer. This is a good conversation. Back to 728 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 2: our six thirty interview this morning about the number of 729 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 2: kids sixteen to nineteen year olds. Eleven percent of them 730 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 2: just leave school to go nowhere. I'm a trade employer. 731 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 2: There was an apprenticeship boost, but that was cut last year. 732 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 2: There's not enough employers taking on apprentices It's the same 733 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 2: employers taking on the apprentices then they get poached by 734 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 2: another company in the fourth year. Four more money, Mike, 735 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 2: I'm sixty four. If I had my life over again, 736 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 2: I'd be a pastry ship. Being at a private school 737 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 2: and supposedly bright. I was automatically streamed into the Latin 738 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 2: and French, which I was good at, but it didn't 739 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 2: help me plan a career. It's so true, isn't it. 740 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 2: The education system does need to change, the apprenticeship system 741 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 2: needs to change, industry needs to get into schools, and 742 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 2: so it goes quickly. New rental information. We've been talking 743 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 2: about that as well this morning Fairbon feb. This is 744 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 2: from trade Me. Rents are down in Auckland two point 745 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 2: nine percent. They're down on Hawks Bay, they're down in Wellington, 746 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 2: they're down in Northland, but they're up in Canterbury, up 747 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 2: in Otago and up in Southland. So it gives you, 748 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: once again sort of nothing seems to look up, a little, down, 749 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 2: a little, depending on where you're looking. Six six sixty 750 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 2: is the average in Auckland. Six point eighty is the 751 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 2: average in the Bay of Plenty. I'm just looking for 752 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 2: Wellington because they're claiming to be the most expensive place 753 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 2: in the country, but they haven'tlisted Wellington. Oh here it 754 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 2: is six sixty five, So those are your that's your 755 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 2: rental update for this Wednesday morning, fourteen past. 756 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: The Hi like asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 757 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: Howard By News Talks. 758 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 15: A'd be. 759 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 2: Mike, what is Canterbury's average rent? Please? The answer is 760 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 2: five hundred and eighty dollars and it's up fairbon fab 761 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 2: by two point seven percent. Mike. I think it's been 762 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 2: you being a bit tough on Trumpet because they have 763 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 2: a form of ceasefire. That's true. Biden certainly couldn't get 764 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: anywhere close. That's also true. But the point is, if 765 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 2: you're going to play the Grant Robertson game of I 766 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 2: found somebody just spectacularly useless, so I'm a little bit 767 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 2: better than them. I don't play that game. He said 768 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 2: he'd fixed the war day one. He hasn't done it, 769 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 2: and this hasn't gone well for him seventeen past seven. Now, 770 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 2: as we said at the start of the show, depends 771 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 2: on any given day who you listen to and who 772 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 2: you believe to. On housing, see one unionist yesterday telling 773 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 2: us the middle class can't afford rent, while an agent 774 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 2: tells us grocery vouchers are being offered to get renters 775 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 2: into houses. No shortage of houses. Rentals in Auckland alone 776 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 2: are up thirty four percent on last year. Now. The 777 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 2: Residential Property Managers Association chair is Tony Mitchell is with us. Tony, 778 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 2: very good morning to you. Good morning Mike. Is it 779 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 2: a renter's market right. 780 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 19: At the minute? 781 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 16: Yes, there are more properties on the market than there 782 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 16: is for our demand. 783 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 2: The level of variation depending on which part of the 784 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 2: market or the country, or the city or the suburb 785 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 2: you're looking at, is it vast or not. 786 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,879 Speaker 16: Well, Look, I do think you need to take into 787 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 16: consideration not only the part of the country, but also 788 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 16: departs of the city because whilst rental prices have come 789 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,439 Speaker 16: back probably from August twenty twenty four through to now, 790 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 16: it hasn't come back in some areas within Auckland. If 791 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 16: you look at some of the suburbs just on the 792 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 16: city fringe, they are still strong. But if you look 793 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 16: at it out west, if you look at out south, 794 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 16: those prices have certainly dropped. But we are seeing that 795 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 16: throughout New Zealand as well. But we do expect that 796 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 16: to only be a temporary thing because the underlying factors 797 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 16: for demand are quite strong. So you've still got strong 798 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 16: immigration as well. Coming through are. 799 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 2: The rule changes around being a landlord, helping or hindering broadly. 800 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 16: Look, I think in general they're a very positive things 801 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 16: and it will help making properties available. But the underlying 802 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 16: factors that have caused the oversupply, it's not due to 803 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 16: the changes that the government's put in place. It's mostly 804 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 16: due to the large number of new builds that have 805 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 16: hit the market. 806 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 13: Plus also tends. 807 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 16: Have been a little bit more conservative with making changes 808 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 16: because in the cost of living has gone up and 809 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 16: they are being very cautious about committing. We've also seen 810 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 16: some layoffs. I know you mentioned Wellington before you know Wellington. 811 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 16: The feedback from rental property managers and businesses down there 812 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 16: is that the layoffs within government has had an impact 813 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 16: as well. So it does vary. As you said, christ 814 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 16: Church is still strong, but they have had a good 815 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 16: supply of rental properties since the earthquakes, since the rebuilds, 816 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 16: so they haven't had the spikes in price inflation. 817 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 2: Great stuff, Tony, appreciate your insight.

I wouldn't recommend it. In the dealing is 855 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 2: a lot of what's wrong with the modern world, which, 856 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,280 Speaker 2: due to its incompetence, actually isn't all that modern at all. 857 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 2: I'd received a text saying a payment was overdue. This 858 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 2: will have been I thought impossible, given the payment is 859 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 2: automatic and it's linked to my credit card, and it 860 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 2: has been this way for decades, so I thought that'll 861 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 2: be a scam. There's a lot of scamming going on. 862 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 2: I get another text today or so later. Ah, definitely 863 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 2: a scam. Then I get a call from an eight 864 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,919 Speaker 2: hundred number. I ignore it. I don't answer numbers. I don't 865 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 2: recognize it's one New Zealand. They leave the message. They 866 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 2: tell me to ring back. I ring back. I'm put 867 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 2: on hold. If you don't have time. They tell me 868 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,720 Speaker 2: to be on hold, hang up and we will text 869 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 2: you all the details. I hang up. There is no text. 870 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 2: I ring back, I'm on hold. Finally a person a 871 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 2: person in another country using English, but only just are 872 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 2: you owe us money? I say it's automatic, It's been 873 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 2: automatic forever. I don't know what to do, she says, 874 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 2: I see, the payment is due the eighteenth. Today was 875 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 2: the eighteenth, so it may be paid today. Why are 876 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 2: you ringing in text to me? Then I say, she 877 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 2: does know what to say. I ask whether the solves 878 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 2: the problem. She says it might do if the payment 879 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 2: is made. I ask what if it isn't. She says, 880 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 2: I will owe her money. I say, I don't know 881 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 2: what you want me to do. Can you see my 882 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 2: account the bank I use. Can you see anything that 883 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 2: is going on? She says she can't. So I ask 884 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 2: why are you bringing me and texting me? She says 885 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 2: because I owe her money. I ask if she is oversea? 886 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 2: She says, yes, she is. The call I was informed 887 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 2: at the start of the call is being recorded for 888 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 2: training purposes. I assume that must have started yesterday, because 889 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,760 Speaker 2: there is no evidence of training anywhere at this particular 890 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 2: point in time. After several pauses, she says, Okay, thank you, 891 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 2: I said for what. She says goodbye? Is my bill paid? 892 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. Will they text me again? I don't know. 893 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 2: Is it possibly a scam? Could be? Will it be 894 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 2: a better experience because someone got trained? I doubt it was. 895 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 2: That fifteen minutes of my life I will never get back. 896 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 2: What do you think? Pasking now? Very good news. We 897 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 2: had Peter Gordon on the program last week and he 898 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 2: bought his balls in and I tasted one, absolutely del 899 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,240 Speaker 2: there was We had a discussion off here. I probably 900 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 2: shouldn't say this, but he's a little little side scoop. 901 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 2: The point of me telling you the story is that 902 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 2: he was going to the meatball Festival and Hastings over 903 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 2: the weekend and he won it. Now, he was a 904 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 2: special guest at the meatball festival, so immediately the question 905 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 2: is was it rigged. You ow't avite special guest rigged 906 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 2: contest walks away with the best ball. 907 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,320 Speaker 18: And you know what they say about meatball festivals. 908 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 2: I certainly do, glend and I can't repeat it on 909 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 2: the radio. Anyway, I'm glad he won because it was 910 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 2: a fantastic meatball. But he told us the ingredients, and 911 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 2: one of the ingredients was nutmeg, and I tasted it 912 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 2: and they had a little bit of the yogurt and 913 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 2: it had some some pickle and had a lot going on. 914 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 2: And he said, I said, I said, I can't really 915 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 2: taste the nutmeg. He goes, it's interesting you should say that. 916 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 2: Because we were doing the taste testing the night before, 917 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 2: we can do the nutmeg. So he's gonna up the 918 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 2: nutmeg by the time he got the hastings. So anyway, 919 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 2: it all worked out well and Peter Gordon makes the 920 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 2: best meat balls in the country, as tasted here first 921 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 2: on The mic Hosking Breakfast. 922 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 4: New Zealand's Voice of Reason is Mike. 923 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 1: The mic Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's real estate altogether better 924 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 1: across residential, commercial, and rural news talks head be. 925 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,399 Speaker 2: If you want to get ahead of the rest of us, 926 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,359 Speaker 2: read Richard Prebble's piece this morning in the Herald about 927 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 2: the lunch program. It is so funny and yet so true. Also, 928 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 2: if I get time, I'll get this. There's a building 929 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 2: that Chris Bishop's got involved with as the minister. But 930 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 2: a building was denied permission and the reasons. It's everything 931 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 2: that's wrong with New Zealand. Meantime, Mike A meatballs the 932 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 2: same as results. Good question, Mike. Normally I agree with 933 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 2: your opinions and congratulate you for voicing them. But today 934 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 2: your comment about the dumb kids leaving school while the 935 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 2: smart one's going to university was short sighted and maybe offensive. 936 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 2: I don't think I said it that bluntly, but and 937 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 2: I certainly didn't mean it. If I didn't, I apologize 938 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 2: for that. But what I meant was when I was 939 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 2: at school, we had the Dunce class, and that's what 940 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 2: it was called. And the Dunce class wandered off, and 941 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 2: I was the only reason I remember it so distinctly 942 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 2: is I was sure I was in the Dunce class, 943 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 2: and I couldn't work out why I was to yeh, 944 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 2: why I wasn't going down to the local factory because 945 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 2: it was the local Muns factory down from Limbood High 946 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,919 Speaker 2: and the Edmunds factory was just literally down the road. 947 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 2: And I thought, man, what I would give to go 948 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 2: down to the Edmuns factory and have a look at 949 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 2: the Inmuns factory because I was off doing something other 950 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: that I didn't want to do. So they sent them 951 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 2: off to give them an insight into what life was 952 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 2: like in a factory or a trade or working and 953 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 2: I thought that was a good way to do it, 954 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 2: because all the rest of us were told that unless 955 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 2: we got UI, we couldn't go to university, and if 956 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 2: we didn't go to university, we'd amount to nothing, blah 957 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 2: blah blah. So it's just an ongoing, long standing thing 958 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 2: that's been stuck in education for years that somehow your 959 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 2: channeled automatically into university and if you don't go to university, 960 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 2: there's something wrong with you. So I'm the antithesis of that. 961 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 18: My one was called the Tree Transition to Work Class, 962 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 18: Yeah exactly. And so for four days of the six 963 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 18: day school timetable. You actually went out on. 964 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 2: Work experience and look what happened to you. 965 00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 18: And so they asked me what I would like to 966 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 18: do for my work experience because other people in the 967 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 18: class were doing things like cleaning out the inside of 968 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 18: septic tanks, you know, helping out it old people's homes, 969 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 18: that sort of thing. And I said, I'd like to 970 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 18: be a musician, please. 971 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 2: And did you yes? 972 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 8: And are you no? 973 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 2: No? Twenty one minutes away from mates Mark Mitchell's and India, 974 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,760 Speaker 2: staying up late and Jimmy Anderson is not in India, 975 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 2: and we'll be just getting up at the normal time. 976 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 2: But that makes it sound just a little more exciting, 977 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 2: doesn't it. Politics Wednesday coming shortly. Interesting picture is emerging 978 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,280 Speaker 2: around retail crime. Speaking of Mark Mitchell, overall reported incidents 979 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 2: are plateauing, but there is a fourteen percent rise and 980 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 2: threatening or intimidating behavior and eleven percent jump and serious 981 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 2: and violent behavior. It's more brazen and organized. Apparently this 982 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 2: data comes to is from a raw I hope I'm 983 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,440 Speaker 2: saying that right. The retail crime reporting software. Anyway, the 984 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 2: co founder and bosses Phil Thompson said, we'll find out film. 985 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 2: I saying that, right, Good morning, Mike. It's Aura Aura 986 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 2: as in the Ring. 987 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,359 Speaker 8: Sure, yeah, you. 988 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 2: Know the Aura Ring. Haven't you got Anura ring? Everyone's 989 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 2: got Anura ring with you? 990 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 4: Yeah? 991 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Now that what I've taken from your stats is 992 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,439 Speaker 2: that this is the hard core. So in other words, 993 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 2: all the opportunists, the people who just you know, take 994 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 2: their starlet and smash it into a window, they've gone. 995 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 2: Now because the government's cracked down, what's left of the 996 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 2: hard core? Is that fair or not? 997 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:38,399 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right. 998 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 9: We're seeing you repeat offenders are still causing the majority 999 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 9: of crime and retail stores, and those people are four 1000 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 9: times more likely to be violent or aggressive in carrying 1001 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,280 Speaker 9: out those senses as well. So yeah, it's it's concerning 1002 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 9: because this is our frontline. Retail workers have are being 1003 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 9: abused and threatened with weapons day and day out. 1004 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 2: What's your breakdown and term if you've got one in 1005 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 2: terms of industry, geographic location, that you've got any patterns 1006 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 2: there or not. 1007 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 9: Unfortunately, it's right across every retail store. 1008 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 12: You know. 1009 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 9: This is just what our retail workers have to deal 1010 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 9: with every day. And now we're talking about our kids, 1011 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,240 Speaker 9: families and friends who are actually working in these stores. 1012 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 9: It's not the faceless supermarket giants or retail conglomerates. It's 1013 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,280 Speaker 9: actually our frontline retail workers who are being threatened with weapons. 1014 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 2: Are we in a sort of a stuck position now, 1015 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,400 Speaker 2: because part of the answer was, you know, you'd have 1016 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 2: an alarm or you have a body cam or whatever 1017 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 2: the case may be. Are these the sort of people 1018 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,399 Speaker 2: with their knives and stuff that don't really care about 1019 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 2: that stuff. 1020 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, retails and places to do a great job at 1021 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,320 Speaker 9: really focusing on those repeat defenders and retail crime generally. 1022 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 9: But you're right, it's people who are using this now 1023 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 9: as a tactic to get out of stores. And you know, 1024 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 9: one of the most recent examples, you know, someone when 1025 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 9: they'll stop said, I'm just going to reach into my 1026 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 9: bag and pull out a knife, you know, and you 1027 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 9: don't want that when you're dealing with that as a 1028 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 9: security god, a retail worker. But you know, this is 1029 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 9: a trend with se globally as well around violence. 1030 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 2: I'm also assuming the police are rounding them up. And 1031 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 2: the last time we had this major discussion post COVID is, 1032 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 2: of course, you know, the police resources were an issue, 1033 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,239 Speaker 2: and you know, rounding them up and doing something with 1034 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 2: them judicially was an issue. Is it a small number 1035 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 2: of people getting smaller or not? 1036 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, Look, there is the highlights I suppose is that 1037 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 9: retailers are capturing this information and reporting it through to 1038 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 9: the police, and so there are is action being taken. 1039 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 9: And to your point, it is you know a small 1040 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 9: number of people who are doing this, but unfortunately that 1041 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 9: doing this as their full time job, often going store 1042 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 9: to store and like I said, using violence now as 1043 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 9: a tactic. 1044 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 2: Okay, good on your feel nice to talk to you 1045 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 2: appreciate it. Phil Thompson, who's Aura CEO and co founder, 1046 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 2: I would look, I would ask him whether he's got 1047 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,919 Speaker 2: some sort of you know, issue with the Aura ring. 1048 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,239 Speaker 18: Well, when you say that everybody's got an Aura ring, 1049 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,759 Speaker 18: everyone's got an Aura ring. I know that. I know 1050 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 18: that you know one person who has no, No, he's 1051 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 18: the one person I know who has no no. 1052 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 2: Look look at ESPN, Look at ESPN internationally. Everybody's got 1053 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 2: around in New Zealand there they're a bit cutting edge, still, 1054 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 2: you reckon. 1055 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 18: Well, no, it's just that there are lots of different 1056 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 18: brands of small. 1057 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 2: Aura was the original though wasn't it, And they updated 1058 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 2: in the interesting thing I found out about the Ura ring. 1059 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 2: And I may or may not be speaking from personal experience. 1060 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 2: Here were a person I know, but the thing's. 1061 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 18: The same person was responsible for the interior design of 1062 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 18: the ring tool that left the knobs off the doors. 1063 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,320 Speaker 2: But the thing about it is is that you become 1064 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 2: reliant on the information in the morning. So if you 1065 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,600 Speaker 2: don't know what we're talking about, which wouldn't be the 1066 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 2: first time on this program, in the morning you get 1067 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 2: just endless amounts of data as to how you sleep went, 1068 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 2: how your day went, and your blood pressure and your 1069 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 2: heart rate and your sleep patterns and your deep sleep 1070 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,919 Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff. But it's developing technology, 1071 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,319 Speaker 2: and what happens is that people become very reliant and 1072 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 2: they go, oh, I got to ninety two or I 1073 00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,919 Speaker 2: got an eighty seven, and oh my god, my day's 1074 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 2: over and I can't function anymore because the number is 1075 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,439 Speaker 2: not right and the line is read and it's not blue, 1076 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 2: and I need to change my life, and so it 1077 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,960 Speaker 2: goes on. So I think we're becoming slightly slavish to 1078 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 2: technology that may or may not be because my understanding 1079 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,640 Speaker 2: of the Aura Ring. The original material around it was 1080 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 2: you were supposed to be a sort of a thirty 1081 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 2: five year old, So it's all leveraged off a thirty 1082 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 2: five year old and a bit of an athlete. So 1083 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 2: if you're a thirty five year old athlete, you'll find 1084 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 2: yourself doing remarkably well. If you're not a thirty five 1085 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 2: year old athlete, it'll be giving you information that you 1086 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,479 Speaker 2: may or may not find beneficial or useful. 1087 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 14: Yeah. 1088 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 18: I mean, I've tried the Samsung Galaxy Ring, which is 1089 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:34,160 Speaker 18: a similar sort of the thing. 1090 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 2: Did it tell you to what and move faster? 1091 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,879 Speaker 18: What happens is you wake up in the morning less 1092 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 18: and you think, oh, that was a terrible night sleeper, 1093 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 18: and yet's terrible, and then you look it up in 1094 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 18: the app and it goes, yep, no, you're right, that 1095 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:46,960 Speaker 18: was terrible. 1096 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 2: Here is your energy score sixteen to. 1097 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power 1098 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: by the News Talks It Be. 1099 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 2: Earlier this week, I was opining what labour used to 1100 00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 2: be many years ago under the David Cagles, Richard Prebble's, 1101 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 2: Mike Morresfield gofs et CETERA completely different labour Party, and 1102 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 2: Prebble still writes for the Herald, free school lunches are 1103 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 2: a solution looking for a problem. There's this opening line, 1104 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 2: which is what I've been trying to say on the 1105 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 2: program for ages. You could have saved yourself all the 1106 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 2: morning or the wining gay. You don't like it, You're 1107 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 2: not having it.

This 1113 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 2: is the other point he makes most kid sales. Too 1114 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 2: many kids are obese. We have one of the highest 1115 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 2: A b CD rates in the world.

Free school 1124 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 2: lunches were never for the pupils, but to buy their parents' 1125 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 2: votes by having the taxpayer finder chore.

I don't think we can take 1232 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,400 Speaker 2: free stuff that we get and sell it. And Sam goes, no, 1233 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,000 Speaker 2: it's a really good idea, Let's do it. And I 1234 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 2: said no, Sam. So therefore I couldn't get on Minecraft 1235 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 2: because I was too busy posing Sam the oh, you 1236 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 2: didn't have a chance to jump into micraft no chance. 1237 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 2: Flat acting politics Wednesday next. 1238 00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:39,640 Speaker 1: My caskame was insaateful, engaging and vitally the mic casking 1239 00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 1: breakfast with Vida Retirement Communities, Life your Way News. 1240 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:48,160 Speaker 2: Tog said, be su quick in developing.

Do you 1309 01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:15,000 Speaker 2: have a definitive position on PPPs or not? 1310 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 11: We do. 1311 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:17,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1312 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 11: We don't like them for things like schools and prisons 1313 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 11: and also hospital so areas where these public services provided 1314 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 11: not a big thing. But we have been pretty clear 1315 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 11: about the fact that if National goes into a deal 1316 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 11: and does one, we won't wind it back. As it 1317 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,720 Speaker 11: happened over the last year or so, because what we 1318 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 11: saw was a whole lot of construction workers leaving New 1319 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,200 Speaker 11: Zealand thirteen thousand and that's not good for economy, not 1320 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,360 Speaker 11: good for jobs in wages. So we won't do that. 1321 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:51,800 Speaker 2: Okay, so, but part of it also says if there 1322 01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:53,920 Speaker 2: is a benefit to New Zealand, what if they can 1323 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 2: say I don't know a school and they can show 1324 01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,439 Speaker 2: a benefit to New Zealand. Does that negate the nose 1325 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 2: schools thing or does the or not? 1326 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 11: No, we don't think. We think there are some basic 1327 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:08,480 Speaker 11: things like schools, prisons, hospitals where we don't agree with PPPs. 1328 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 17: Okay, well, what if you had an e we come 1329 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 17: forward and say that they wanted to do a PPP 1330 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 17: with the government on a school. 1331 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 11: Look, there are there. We think there are some fundamental areas. 1332 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 11: We don't like charter schools. We have charter schools already. 1333 01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 11: If people do that, but in our view that there 1334 01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:28,320 Speaker 11: are some basic public services we're making a profit out 1335 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 11: of them doesn't help them. School lunchers would be a 1336 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 11: great example where you had something that was being provided 1337 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,640 Speaker 11: by locally. You've got a big provider coming in making 1338 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 11: a profit from it, and a lot of those times 1339 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 11: they fall over when you're providing a public good. 1340 01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,080 Speaker 2: I'm glad you raised the charter schools because in the 1341 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 2: hip hocn speech the other day he said, we're not 1342 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 2: going to be a government that just goes in and 1343 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 2: cancels everything like this current government has. And yet he 1344 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:54,160 Speaker 2: was the bloke who, for ideological reasons, only went and 1345 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 2: canceled the charter schools last time. So has he changed 1346 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:57,560 Speaker 2: his mind on that stuff or clearly not. 1347 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 11: I think we've new Zealanders are tired of flicking back 1348 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,200 Speaker 11: from one thing to the other. 1349 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:04,560 Speaker 2: Yes, every three years. 1350 01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 11: Yes we have some fundamental ideological problems, but it's also 1351 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,600 Speaker 11: important that we keep making progress as a country. And 1352 01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,320 Speaker 11: we're just going to be helped back if we keep 1353 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 11: flicking back and forwards. So if there's a big project 1354 01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 11: that's in play, that is working okay, and there's some 1355 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,560 Speaker 11: good things there, we're not going to undo it just 1356 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 11: for the sake of saying, well. 1357 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,040 Speaker 2: So you could say this morning, so the charter school's 1358 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 2: up and operating now, So they'll be up and operating 1359 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,440 Speaker 2: for at least two years by the time if you 1360 01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 2: got to government, for example, in twenty twenty six, So 1361 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 2: you would leave those alone. 1362 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 11: I'm not going to make education policy on news talks. 1363 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:39,960 Speaker 11: You'd be, But my understanding is the way we want 1364 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,000 Speaker 11: to proceed. If there's a big thing in place and 1365 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 11: it's working, okay, we're not going to unearth it. 1366 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 17: And this is the exact problem that we've got with 1367 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 17: you at the moment, because we've tried to send you 1368 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 17: really clear messages to. 1369 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 11: Mark, don't even start you.

You're just giving us some 1374 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 17: big lecture that we can't keep dropping back and forward. 1375 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 2: No, you didn't. 1376 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 17: You just said that you're not going to get into 1377 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,600 Speaker 17: education policy. We'll get into it. You just said that 1378 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 17: you're not going to flip flop, and now you're saying, well, actually, 1379 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,040 Speaker 17: you can't say whether you will keep charter schools. 1380 01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 2: And this is the problem, not the problem that we have. 1381 01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 2: You're all over them. 1382 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 11: Stood up pretty clearly and stated that if there's big 1383 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,439 Speaker 11: projects that have gone ahead, and that's why we sent 1384 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,920 Speaker 11: labor MPs into your into the big infrastructure talk with 1385 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 11: investment firms that if New Zealand needs some big investment, 1386 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 11: and we've sent people there to give a strong message 1387 01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 11: out to those international partners that we support of if 1388 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,200 Speaker 11: they give us jobs, if they give us wages, and 1389 01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 11: they're good for New Zealanders, but we need to keep 1390 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,240 Speaker 11: an eye on the fact that if big companies are 1391 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 11: just going to come into New Zealand, carve off large 1392 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 11: bits of infrastructure own themselves and charge keywis for using 1393 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:58,920 Speaker 11: them forever in a day, we need to be cautious 1394 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 11: of those details and how I play it, all right, just. 1395 01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:02,840 Speaker 2: Brief break more in a moment, Mark Mitchell and India, 1396 01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 2: Ginny Anderson more shortly four Team Past the. 1397 01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:10,080 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, cow it 1398 01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 1: By News Talks. 1399 01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 2: B Used Talks, seventeen Past Day, Ginny Anderson, Mark Mitchell 1400 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,000 Speaker 2: Politics Wednesday.

Probably not speaking to be honest, Thanks, Mark. 1468 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:40,759 Speaker 17: I'll just just be honest. 1469 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:41,679 Speaker 8: It's always vigorous. 1470 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,719 Speaker 11: No, we're talking about David Seymour and and the Maori 1471 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 11: Party and the the lawns, so that often I told 1472 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 11: you what we're doing. 1473 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,920 Speaker 2: You're on hold, Mark, Sorry, carry on, Jenny, I'm not disappearing. 1474 01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,040 Speaker 11: Look, I would never have said that, and I don't 1475 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:03,880 Speaker 11: think it's a great idea at all, but I think 1476 01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 11: they've got a fear bit of coverage and people genuinely 1477 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:08,640 Speaker 11: thought that that was unacceptable. So I don't know if 1478 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:09,639 Speaker 11: he got away with it. 1479 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 12: I think not. 1480 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 11: Dave David Seymore pretty much waded straight in there. But 1481 01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 11: it gets to the point when it's those two I 1482 01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,439 Speaker 11: think most people kind of just switch off because it's 1483 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 11: those two. 1484 01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 4: Editor again, what. 1485 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,560 Speaker 2: Do you say just quickly before? 1486 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 17: Well, no one likes No one likes bullies, do they, 1487 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,719 Speaker 17: Ginny so? And this is bullying behavior without a doubt. 1488 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 17: And I think that in this country at the moment 1489 01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,400 Speaker 17: where in our country we've got too much violent crime 1490 01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 17: to deal with and people should learn to keep their 1491 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 17: hands themselves, and to have a member of Parliament coming 1492 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 17: out and saying they want to give someone a hiding 1493 01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:43,560 Speaker 17: to me and my view, is just totally unacceptable. 1494 01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,520 Speaker 2: Is part of it mark that we don't take them seriously? 1495 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:49,559 Speaker 2: It's just it's them again? Is there a bit of 1496 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 2: that about it? 1497 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:50,240 Speaker 12: Well? 1498 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,000 Speaker 17: I think well that's a big part of it. I 1499 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:53,720 Speaker 17: can tell you now that if a national MP came 1500 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,760 Speaker 17: out and said something like me, you would be all 1501 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 17: over it they'll be calling for resignations. But for some reason, 1502 01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,800 Speaker 17: because it's the married part either yet given a free ticket. 1503 01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,040 Speaker 2: Super quick, Jinny given Chris was on the radio with 1504 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 2: our Wellington people saying you couldn't find a Wellington candidate 1505 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 2: for the mayor. Should parties in general this is the 1506 01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 2: act story. Should parties in general be involved in local 1507 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 2: body politics? 1508 01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,839 Speaker 11: Oh that's a tough one. At the pros and cons. 1509 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,759 Speaker 11: There are some good reasons at it because it actually 1510 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,000 Speaker 11: helps me more organized on the ground, and I've seen 1511 01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 11: that in the hearts. We've done quite well having good, 1512 01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:29,000 Speaker 11: strong candidates out here. But it needs to fit. They 1513 01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 11: need to that you know that they want to be 1514 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,679 Speaker 11: part of that party and the party needs to want them. 1515 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,599 Speaker 11: So if that's all working well, it can go really well. 1516 01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,320 Speaker 11: I don't think it's essential. I think you can do 1517 01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:37,800 Speaker 11: it without it. 1518 01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,400 Speaker 2: So all right, Mark, you off to bed. 1519 01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,639 Speaker 17: Yes, yeah, I'm up in a bit four us.

Dots m Z taskyme. 1546 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,880 Speaker 2: I was watching Jim Charmers yesterday giving a speech. Part 1547 01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:58,479 Speaker 2: of the speech was a build up to the budget. 1548 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 2: The cycle loan of a week or so back a 1549 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,559 Speaker 2: couple of weeks back has stuck a one point two 1550 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,760 Speaker 2: billion dollar hole in that particular budget, and so he's 1551 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,080 Speaker 2: going to be running a deficit of about twenty seven 1552 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:14,160 Speaker 2: billion dollars, which is going out to forty six billion dollars. 1553 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,880 Speaker 2: So they are swimming in a sea of red, and 1554 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,479 Speaker 2: they've got an election campaign coming up. So we'll talk 1555 01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:24,240 Speaker 2: about that and more with a Stephen Price after the News, 1556 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,520 Speaker 2: which is next. Here are the my casting. 1557 01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:39,080 Speaker 1: Rooms, news opinion and everything in between, the mic hosting 1558 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:43,240 Speaker 1: break best with the range rovervila designed to intrigue and 1559 01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:44,840 Speaker 1: use tog dead b do read. 1560 01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:46,880 Speaker 2: By the way, in reference to Jinny Marke, a couple 1561 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,919 Speaker 2: of mimes ago a newsroom article on on Labour's PPPs 1562 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,839 Speaker 2: in their relationship with PPPs. She's a lengthy old number 1563 01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,880 Speaker 2: because that's sort of what newsroom do. But it quotes 1564 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,120 Speaker 2: Barbara Edmonds, who was at the Big Investment conference the 1565 01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,280 Speaker 2: other day the party's position on PPP's nuanced. She says, 1566 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:05,000 Speaker 2: so it is communicated at different ways to different audiences. 1567 01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 2: The party, she says, could have been clearer with different 1568 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:13,360 Speaker 2: communication tools. You use different language, do you anyway well 1569 01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:15,519 Speaker 2: worth reading to try and sort of fathom as to 1570 01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,160 Speaker 2: where they may or may not be. On PPPs twenty 1571 01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 2: three minutes away. 1572 01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:23,400 Speaker 4: From nine International Correspondence with Endsit Eye Insurance, Peace of 1573 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:25,200 Speaker 4: Mind for New Zealand, Business and Australia. 1574 01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:28,320 Speaker 2: Stephen Price, very good morning to you and you. I 1575 01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 2: was watching Jim Chalmers yesterday. I can't remember where he was. 1576 01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 2: He was in Queensland, but anyway, he had some protesters 1577 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,240 Speaker 2: come along and interrupt them, and he was talking about 1578 01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 2: Elfred and how much damage that's done to the budget 1579 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,479 Speaker 2: and this budget. And they're having this budget because the 1580 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 2: election's late, and it's late because of the weather, et cetera. 1581 01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,759 Speaker 2: But the deficit they're running surely that makes them look inept, 1582 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:50,680 Speaker 2: doesn't it or. 1583 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:55,760 Speaker 12: Not well, governments around the country running huge deficits, and 1584 01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,320 Speaker 12: I think the public has been largely shielded from the 1585 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:01,760 Speaker 12: fact that if you've got a government that can't have 1586 01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 12: a surplus, then it's a bad government. I mean what 1587 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,559 Speaker 12: Anthony Alvenz in Jim Charmers wanted to do prior to 1588 01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 12: Alfred was to not have a budget and go to 1589 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 12: an election on the twelfth of April and they could 1590 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,280 Speaker 12: then say, well, look what we've done over the last 1591 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:19,400 Speaker 12: two budgess A had a surplus. Now those surpluses are false, 1592 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,599 Speaker 12: false surpluses. They've come because there's been a massive amounts 1593 01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:27,080 Speaker 12: of immigration and be mining royalties have exploded, and so 1594 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,920 Speaker 12: they had a huge amount of money and so they've 1595 01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 12: managed to sneak through it with a surplus that they 1596 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,200 Speaker 12: would not have otherwise. And so the chickens have come 1597 01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:38,719 Speaker 12: home to roost. For this budget, it will be in deficit, 1598 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,679 Speaker 12: will be handed down next week. But the general public 1599 01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,680 Speaker 12: are just interested in ways to stop the cost of 1600 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,799 Speaker 12: living hurting them week by week with their age packet. 1601 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 12: They're not concerned at all whether the government has debt. 1602 01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 12: They're worried about their own debt. 1603 01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 2: Thistton idea on a referendum. Is this going to happen 1604 01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:00,640 Speaker 2: or it might happen? And how many people, as I 1605 01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,519 Speaker 2: written one article yesterday from his own party, is saying 1606 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:08,000 Speaker 2: this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Kill it now, Well. 1607 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 12: I think they're stupid, because I think it's very clever 1608 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,280 Speaker 12: because what there will never be a referendum. We will 1609 01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,680 Speaker 12: not have a referendum on whether if you are a 1610 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 12: dual citizenship, so born overseas come to Australia, retain your 1611 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:23,240 Speaker 12: overseas passport and get an Australian passport. What Peter Dutton 1612 01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 12: wants is the ability to throw someone with two passports 1613 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 12: out of the country in simple terms, if they commit crimes, 1614 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 12: taken out of the hands of judges and given to 1615 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,400 Speaker 12: the Minister presumably of Immigration. Now this is all over 1616 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,400 Speaker 12: that High Court decision last year. We've got a bunch 1617 01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:43,479 Speaker 12: of really bad crooks, rapists, murderers, child molesters who are 1618 01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,599 Speaker 12: out in the public because the court decided that they 1619 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 12: could not be held indefinitely in tension. So that's what 1620 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,840 Speaker 12: Dutton's talking about. The reason I say it's clever it 1621 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,839 Speaker 12: allows him over the next four or five six weeks 1622 01:17:56,320 --> 01:18:01,120 Speaker 12: to talk every day about the issue of people breaking 1623 01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,759 Speaker 12: the law, who are migrants to this country, who he says, 1624 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,960 Speaker 12: hate the country and don't want to become true in 1625 01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,640 Speaker 12: law abiding Australians. Now he's going to wedge labor on it. 1626 01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,320 Speaker 12: I mean Labour's already screaming we don't want another referendum, 1627 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,680 Speaker 12: we can't do this, and you've got judges and you've 1628 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 12: got professors in universities coming out and saying I don't 1629 01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 12: think Australia wants to go down that path. Bona fide 1630 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:25,840 Speaker 12: is of the court of being questioned because lawyers and 1631 01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:29,080 Speaker 12: judges hate power being taken away from them. I think 1632 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,120 Speaker 12: it's very clever or Dunton. The referendum will never happen, 1633 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,960 Speaker 12: but it allows him to keep that question on the 1634 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,760 Speaker 12: front page day after day after day. 1635 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,280 Speaker 2: Appary Shades of America, isn't it. 1636 01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,760 Speaker 12: Absolutely? And when you see planeloads of Venezuelans in the 1637 01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,920 Speaker 12: hoods being flown out of the country and dropped in 1638 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:48,559 Speaker 12: the third country on the way back to wherever they 1639 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,960 Speaker 12: came from. I think a lot of people in suburban 1640 01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 12: Australia who are at the moment in the group of 1641 01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,640 Speaker 12: a crime crisis sitting there saying to themselves, well, why 1642 01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:57,479 Speaker 12: can't we do that? 1643 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 2: Speaking of crime, I was watching the Kayla Cash. Dutton 1644 01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 2: was there, but MICHAELA. Cash. She's an interesting visual treat, 1645 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:04,680 Speaker 2: isn't she. 1646 01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:08,840 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a very polite way to put it. 1647 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyway, she's doing this thing the other day 1648 01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 2: about this corruption. I mean, are they wedging the government 1649 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,120 Speaker 2: on this as well? This racketeering legislator. This is the 1650 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 2: mafia that runs construction in Australia and they want to 1651 01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,040 Speaker 2: do something about it. And I just can't work out 1652 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,120 Speaker 2: why the Labor government wouldn't say, yes, we're boots in 1653 01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 2: it all other than the fact that they're funded by 1654 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:29,519 Speaker 2: these very crocs. 1655 01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,760 Speaker 12: Well exactly, the CFM you are the major donus to 1656 01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,639 Speaker 12: the Labor party in state and federal politics, write out 1657 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,760 Speaker 12: checks to them every election and that's why. And so 1658 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 12: the CFMEU and their connections to labor run very deep. 1659 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:46,400 Speaker 12: And we have had the Age newspaper and Channel nine 1660 01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:50,559 Speaker 12: to sixty minutes doing a fantastic job on actually spelling 1661 01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,639 Speaker 12: out how bad this corruption is on building sites around 1662 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,080 Speaker 12: Victoria in particular, but also around the rest of the country. 1663 01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 12: And so when people read what the union's been up 1664 01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 12: to and they're using biking gang members as standover men, 1665 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 12: people are being abused on work sites. But more than that, 1666 01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:12,880 Speaker 12: they're extorting money out of governments, particularly state governments, to 1667 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:17,760 Speaker 12: ensure that building projects are unionized. And the build goes 1668 01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:21,360 Speaker 12: on without disruption. But the union then decides, Okay, we're 1669 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 12: only going to work full days. We're going to shut 1670 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:24,720 Speaker 12: down for this week. We're not going to do that, 1671 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 12: and as she pace more money. It is basically old 1672 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:31,920 Speaker 12: style mafia that are running the building sites. And you know, 1673 01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,040 Speaker 12: do we want to copy American laws? Well if they work, 1674 01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,120 Speaker 12: yes we do because at the moment all of these 1675 01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,639 Speaker 12: building projects are over budget and over time now. 1676 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,960 Speaker 2: But to remind people, because this was the story, it 1677 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,599 Speaker 2: started last year and the Labor Party at the time, 1678 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,920 Speaker 2: including just Ciner Ellen, who's the Premier of Victoria, said, 1679 01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 2: will you know where we'll put them into administration? Problem solve? 1680 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,679 Speaker 2: Don't look anymore. And yet nothing seems to have changed. 1681 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 12: Nothing's changed, The administrator can't get to the bottom of it. 1682 01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:58,880 Speaker 12: He lives in a house which is now surrounded by 1683 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:02,439 Speaker 12: armed guards because through his life and the bad old 1684 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 12: tactics of the union continue. I mean, anyone who thought 1685 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,120 Speaker 12: that this was all just going to go away by 1686 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,599 Speaker 12: sacking the union boss John Sector is completely naive. If 1687 01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:15,160 Speaker 12: it's not happened, and it continues to this day. CFMU 1688 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,760 Speaker 12: flags fly across building sites right around the city that 1689 01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,559 Speaker 12: I live in, and I know how corrupt they are. 1690 01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 2: It's amazing. Hey, how'd your sling deboo go on, Telly? 1691 01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:24,720 Speaker 19: Not? 1692 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,200 Speaker 12: Well, they didn't like the color of it for a star, 1693 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,240 Speaker 12: what color was it? It was a fuck a marone 1694 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 12: and white, which I can understand why they wouldn't have 1695 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,160 Speaker 12: liked that. It had the name of my orthopedic surgeon 1696 01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,800 Speaker 12: on it. So this is a bloke of charges five 1697 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:43,360 Speaker 12: grand o your shoulder operating? But what's free advertising on TV? 1698 01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,760 Speaker 12: So Channel ten has stuck Channel ten stickers all over 1699 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,000 Speaker 12: his name. That would have disappointed him. So when I 1700 01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,400 Speaker 12: go back to him, I'm in for trouble. Obviously it 1701 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:54,479 Speaker 12: looks ridiculous and stupid, so I'm going to have to 1702 01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:55,519 Speaker 12: come up with another solution. 1703 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 2: All right, we'll keep you posted. Go well this weekend 1704 01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,360 Speaker 2: and we'll see next week Casteve Price Out of Australia. 1705 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:03,280 Speaker 2: By the way, worth reading the CFM you think, essentially, 1706 01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 2: I mean, apart from what Steve All said, these guys 1707 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:09,160 Speaker 2: get jobs on the site. These union Slash Game members 1708 01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 2: get jobs on the site for ten thousand dollars a week. 1709 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,639 Speaker 2: They paid ten thousand dollars a week. Forty thousand dollars 1710 01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 2: a month, five hundred thousand dollars a year and what 1711 01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:21,559 Speaker 2: do they do for that money? Nothing? They don't turn up. 1712 01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:25,599 Speaker 2: They're just handed the mate. The level of corruption in 1713 01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:29,519 Speaker 2: Australia in the construction industry is eyewatering and well worth 1714 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:30,760 Speaker 2: reading and following sixteen to. 1715 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 1: Two the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1716 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:37,840 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks at b. 1717 01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 2: Well, I'm mentioning things to read. In the spinoff yesterday 1718 01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 2: by a guy called Liam Ratner covered off in excruciating 1719 01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 2: detail the absurdity of the Funarrai District Council and their 1720 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:56,320 Speaker 2: ongoing battle with the government over fluoridation. They went for 1721 01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:01,160 Speaker 2: a judicial judgment yesterday that's been reserved, so will stand by. 1722 01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,479 Speaker 2: They have backtracked. Originally they were not going to fluoridate 1723 01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,599 Speaker 2: their water, but then they freaked out at the cost, 1724 01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 2: none of which they'd put aside, of course, because that 1725 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 2: would take planning and foresight, but they didn't have any 1726 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:15,599 Speaker 2: of us. So anywhay. On Monday, one of the un 1727 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,400 Speaker 2: quoting one of the most chaotic and heated council meetings 1728 01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,880 Speaker 2: in recent memories. The result more division, a mere fighting 1729 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,400 Speaker 2: off accusations of predetermination and councilors throwing around accusations of 1730 01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:30,160 Speaker 2: government rape. So two pm before the councilors get to 1731 01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,160 Speaker 2: the matter at hand, they had to untangle the mess 1732 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 2: left by their previous attempt to discuss fluoridation. A scheduled 1733 01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 2: meeting last week was blocked when seven councilors refused to 1734 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:40,759 Speaker 2: allow it to be held behind closed doors. Mood was tense. 1735 01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 2: Ten past two the meeting quickly descended into a procedural 1736 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,639 Speaker 2: minefield as Councilor pauled Jovich attempted to add an amendment 1737 01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:52,000 Speaker 2: that would immediately halt all legal proceedings in the associated costs. 1738 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,040 Speaker 2: By this point tensions be high. Councilor Marie Olsen was 1739 01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 2: visibly frustrated. Councilor Simon Reid talked about compliance and would 1740 01:23:59,880 --> 01:24:04,160 Speaker 2: take make council as complicit with this aforementioned governmental rape. 1741 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,280 Speaker 2: By two forty five, what have we got? The Council 1742 01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,080 Speaker 2: was already spending or had spent ninety three, four hundred 1743 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,240 Speaker 2: and sixty six dollars excluding GST on legal fees. There 1744 01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 2: is no budget allocated for the costs of the Crown's 1745 01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 2: legal team at the WDC Losers in court on top 1746 01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,280 Speaker 2: of that, the council risks losing four point five million 1747 01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:25,160 Speaker 2: in government funding for fluoridation infrastructure, and estimated nine one 1748 01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen hours of work, which is the equivalent 1749 01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,400 Speaker 2: of one hundred and twenty two working days, had already 1750 01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,960 Speaker 2: been spent on the issue. By three pm, A side 1751 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:40,160 Speaker 2: controversy emerged, accusations of predetermination against mister Cockrulo vince our 1752 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 2: previous meetings, Cocarrula had stated quote I would go to 1753 01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:48,639 Speaker 2: jail to stop the fluoridation of water. Council's legal team, 1754 01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:50,920 Speaker 2: pops Up, ruled that the mayor's previous statements did not 1755 01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 2: legally prevent him from participating. Three twenty the final vote, 1756 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,559 Speaker 2: after an hour and twenty two on the debate, voted 1757 01:24:57,560 --> 01:24:59,880 Speaker 2: on the original motion to comply as in the Director 1758 01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:02,200 Speaker 2: of from Ashley Bloomfield, Director of only until the court 1759 01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 2: ruled otherwise, which they haven't because they've reserved it as 1760 01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:07,559 Speaker 2: I've just said. The amendment to drop legal proceedings was 1761 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:10,200 Speaker 2: defeated seven to six. Cocka ruler, using his casting vote 1762 01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:13,240 Speaker 2: to break the tie, meaning the WDC will begin floridation 1763 01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 2: preparations but will stop if the interim relief is granted 1764 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 2: in the court, so we stand by there. So that's 1765 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,240 Speaker 2: the sort of crap that's going on in the local 1766 01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,559 Speaker 2: body politics at the moment, and you're paying for it. 1767 01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 2: And you wonder why no one wants to stand and 1768 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 2: you wonder why the Labor Party can't find a candidate 1769 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:32,479 Speaker 2: in Wellington, and you wonder why nobody turns up.
