They 189 00:08:16,853 --> 00:08:18,733 Speaker 7: sold nine hundred and two on Saturday. 190 00:08:19,053 --> 00:08:21,013 Speaker 8: Hybrids or BEVs, well both. 191 00:08:21,053 --> 00:08:24,173 Speaker 7: Actually we're quite fortunate that our hybrids are super hybrids, 192 00:08:24,213 --> 00:08:25,933 Speaker 7: so you can have beasts of both worlds. 193 00:08:26,093 --> 00:08:29,253 Speaker 8: Okay, So I was told in general that what people 194 00:08:29,253 --> 00:08:30,973 Speaker 8: do when they got in to a full bed is 195 00:08:30,973 --> 00:08:32,772 Speaker 8: they think about it. They work through it, They work 196 00:08:32,813 --> 00:08:35,053 Speaker 8: through whether they can charge it properly, whether it fits 197 00:08:35,053 --> 00:08:35,933 Speaker 8: their lifestyle. 198 00:08:35,612 --> 00:08:36,413 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. 199 00:08:36,573 --> 00:08:38,493 Speaker 8: They don't come in because the price of oil has 200 00:08:38,493 --> 00:08:40,253 Speaker 8: suddenly gone up and go I'll have a BEV. 201 00:08:40,453 --> 00:08:41,173 Speaker 9: I think you're probably right. 202 00:08:41,173 --> 00:08:42,853 Speaker 7: A lot of people do their research first. But I 203 00:08:42,852 --> 00:08:44,973 Speaker 7: think what's happened is people have been have been on 204 00:08:44,973 --> 00:08:47,213 Speaker 7: the fence about buying a new car at taking this 205 00:08:47,372 --> 00:08:49,973 Speaker 7: moment now to actually go and do that. They're doing 206 00:08:50,012 --> 00:08:52,732 Speaker 7: their research. But the thing is our super hybrids are 207 00:08:52,732 --> 00:08:54,453 Speaker 7: a step into a full bed, so you can get 208 00:08:54,453 --> 00:08:56,612 Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty k's range on EV and then 209 00:08:56,653 --> 00:08:58,933 Speaker 7: a thousand k's range and hybrid mode and you never 210 00:08:58,973 --> 00:08:59,532 Speaker 7: have to charge. 211 00:08:59,573 --> 00:09:02,093 Speaker 8: So what you needed was not a government subsidy, You 212 00:09:02,213 --> 00:09:04,773 Speaker 8: needed a war And this could be a tipping point. 213 00:09:04,933 --> 00:09:06,852 Speaker 7: I think you know, the clean Cause of subsidy was 214 00:09:06,892 --> 00:09:08,973 Speaker 7: a great thing to get byd into New Zealand. But 215 00:09:09,053 --> 00:09:11,693 Speaker 7: even better is the Clean Cars Standard, which helps us 216 00:09:11,852 --> 00:09:14,213 Speaker 7: encourage me wanting to bring new technology to New Zealand, 217 00:09:14,372 --> 00:09:16,813 Speaker 7: like vehicle bread like cards that can charge in for 218 00:09:16,973 --> 00:09:17,533 Speaker 7: minutes time. 219 00:09:18,213 --> 00:09:21,732 Speaker 2: People called b e v's BEVs. I've never heard anyone 220 00:09:21,773 --> 00:09:22,453 Speaker 2: called a BEV. 221 00:09:22,293 --> 00:09:24,733 Speaker 3: Before me neither, but I heard him talking about that, 222 00:09:24,813 --> 00:09:26,093 Speaker 3: So they'll BEV BEV. 223 00:09:26,573 --> 00:09:31,613 Speaker 2: So then as phgv's FIV the Hoskins rationale, Yeah, BEV 224 00:09:31,813 --> 00:09:34,093 Speaker 2: is my neighbor bed Feathers used to pay me to 225 00:09:34,132 --> 00:09:39,533 Speaker 2: go to the dairy to get a six who's FIV? 226 00:09:39,573 --> 00:09:43,173 Speaker 3: Then, but there's clearly a massive uptake on that weekend 227 00:09:43,213 --> 00:09:45,492 Speaker 3: and look, and he made the point that was mostly 228 00:09:45,573 --> 00:09:47,372 Speaker 3: people who are in the market for a new vehicle. 229 00:09:47,372 --> 00:09:50,372 Speaker 3: They're on the fence about whether to go petrol highbred 230 00:09:50,693 --> 00:09:54,093 Speaker 3: BEVs A, we're going to keep same BEVs b EV's. 231 00:09:54,252 --> 00:09:54,973 Speaker 2: I feel comfortable. 232 00:09:55,333 --> 00:09:58,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go back to b e v's rather than 233 00:09:58,173 --> 00:10:01,333 Speaker 3: I mean, the price that the fuelers at the moment 234 00:10:01,573 --> 00:10:04,613 Speaker 3: was just almost like the straw on the camel's back 235 00:10:04,732 --> 00:10:06,733 Speaker 3: when they said, yeah, okay, we're just going to go 236 00:10:06,813 --> 00:10:09,453 Speaker 3: EV now or almost the is there that many people 237 00:10:09,453 --> 00:10:12,172 Speaker 3: that are just massive chicken lickings the petrol price goes 238 00:10:12,293 --> 00:10:15,012 Speaker 3: up and then they just run off and spend that 239 00:10:15,132 --> 00:10:16,013 Speaker 3: much on an EV. 240 00:10:16,132 --> 00:10:18,693 Speaker 2: I mean, how long would it cost? How long would 241 00:10:18,693 --> 00:10:22,012 Speaker 2: it take to make your money back on buying and 242 00:10:22,413 --> 00:10:24,093 Speaker 2: what a eighty thousand dollars EV? 243 00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:26,813 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's most of your life. I 244 00:10:26,813 --> 00:10:27,933 Speaker 3: don't know if you'd ever make that bet. 245 00:10:27,973 --> 00:10:31,173 Speaker 2: So the cost of fuel is you know, just kissing 246 00:10:31,293 --> 00:10:33,653 Speaker 2: three bucks, you like, run off and spend eighty thousand 247 00:10:33,653 --> 00:10:35,132 Speaker 2: dollars and an EV. 248 00:10:34,813 --> 00:10:37,493 Speaker 3: If it went up to fifty dollars a liter get 249 00:10:37,492 --> 00:10:38,093 Speaker 3: your money back? 250 00:10:38,813 --> 00:10:41,973 Speaker 2: Is because the discussion about fuel is it, you know, 251 00:10:42,053 --> 00:10:45,093 Speaker 2: is everywhere, and so then you're just it just pushes 252 00:10:45,132 --> 00:10:46,413 Speaker 2: you over the edge and you go, well, I've been 253 00:10:46,453 --> 00:10:48,933 Speaker 2: thinking about this, but there's so much talk about fuel 254 00:10:49,012 --> 00:10:51,093 Speaker 2: I'm thinking more about it. So I'll take the plunge 255 00:10:51,093 --> 00:10:52,973 Speaker 2: and get the vehicle that I always wanted to get. 256 00:10:53,132 --> 00:10:54,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, to me, it just seems like if you're on 257 00:10:54,773 --> 00:10:58,133 Speaker 3: the fence already about a beev or a hybrid and 258 00:10:58,173 --> 00:11:00,333 Speaker 3: you see what's going on and think I can't be 259 00:11:00,372 --> 00:11:02,412 Speaker 3: theft with all that sort of panic at the station. 260 00:11:02,492 --> 00:11:05,253 Speaker 3: If that is happening, then you take the plunge and 261 00:11:05,252 --> 00:11:05,932 Speaker 3: you get a B y D. 262 00:11:06,533 --> 00:11:10,213 Speaker 2: So my theory on this right, and I love a 263 00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:12,132 Speaker 2: combustion engine, so I'm not even in the game. I'm 264 00:11:12,132 --> 00:11:15,493 Speaker 2: not even thinking about it, right, But our fuel supply 265 00:11:15,693 --> 00:11:19,013 Speaker 2: is pretty pretty shaky in terms of you know, we 266 00:11:19,093 --> 00:11:22,813 Speaker 2: have to impure and import all our all our gas, 267 00:11:23,053 --> 00:11:25,413 Speaker 2: all our petrol to run our cars and our diesel. Right, 268 00:11:25,492 --> 00:11:28,812 Speaker 2: we import that, So that's that's that can be shaky. Geopolitically, 269 00:11:29,213 --> 00:11:32,453 Speaker 2: things change as we're seeing now. But also, you know, 270 00:11:32,533 --> 00:11:35,492 Speaker 2: when we weren't talking constantly about that side of our 271 00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:38,933 Speaker 2: energy problems, all we ever hear about is the house shaky? 272 00:11:39,093 --> 00:11:43,293 Speaker 2: Are electricity suppliers right? And how weather bended is? And 273 00:11:44,173 --> 00:11:46,573 Speaker 2: a on a year when there's not a lot of rainfall, 274 00:11:47,213 --> 00:11:50,813 Speaker 2: then our fantastic hydro system becomes a bit of a problem. 275 00:11:51,132 --> 00:11:53,532 Speaker 2: So if we had a really really strange year with 276 00:11:54,012 --> 00:11:55,933 Speaker 2: you know, really bad and we've had them not so 277 00:11:56,012 --> 00:11:58,613 Speaker 2: long ago in Auckland, when the lakes get very low, 278 00:11:59,053 --> 00:12:03,293 Speaker 2: there's just as much chance of no charge days for 279 00:12:03,372 --> 00:12:06,333 Speaker 2: your car as there as carless days for your petrol 280 00:12:06,372 --> 00:12:09,813 Speaker 2: cant there is.

And then when times are good with the 292 00:12:33,492 --> 00:12:35,093 Speaker 3: hydro lakes, you plug it in. 293 00:12:35,213 --> 00:12:35,413 Speaker 6: Yeah. 294 00:12:35,653 --> 00:12:38,213 Speaker 2: Right, when the bombing starts Overseas, you plug into the 295 00:12:38,252 --> 00:12:41,772 Speaker 2: wall when it hasn't rained for six months.

Is it because people think that 345 00:14:56,693 --> 00:15:00,133 Speaker 2: the battery is going to be having decreased functionality? Or 346 00:15:00,253 --> 00:15:02,453 Speaker 2: is it because they think that the EV technology will 347 00:15:02,493 --> 00:15:05,052 Speaker 2: have increased and by the time you sell it. Do 348 00:15:05,053 --> 00:15:06,853 Speaker 2: you know exactly why that that drops off? 349 00:15:07,293 --> 00:15:10,932 Speaker 10: Well, well, it is increase, definitely, technology does. But the 350 00:15:11,013 --> 00:15:14,532 Speaker 10: battery is dying from the minute you drive it on. 351 00:15:15,293 --> 00:15:19,213 Speaker 10: It's getting less and less. And you're talking about charging. 352 00:15:19,373 --> 00:15:23,053 Speaker 10: What about that new hub that's going to be built 353 00:15:23,133 --> 00:15:27,412 Speaker 10: down in the cargole that the data center.

But yeah, I 360 00:15:40,333 --> 00:15:42,292 Speaker 3: mean to your point, Matt, I think that is a 361 00:15:42,333 --> 00:15:45,412 Speaker 3: big part of it. Is the technology has been you know, 362 00:15:46,573 --> 00:15:49,412 Speaker 3: leapfrogging in terms of what I've got compared to what 363 00:15:49,453 --> 00:15:51,573 Speaker 3: they're selling now.

Chuck it in? I can't handle doing that. 499 00:21:30,373 --> 00:21:31,853 Speaker 2: That seems like too much effort. So you have to 500 00:21:31,933 --> 00:21:34,013 Speaker 2: plug it in. You've got your stuff, you've got to 501 00:21:34,053 --> 00:21:36,773 Speaker 2: carry into the house, yep, you got to deal with 502 00:21:36,853 --> 00:21:38,773 Speaker 2: the dog. You're got to plug in your ev That 503 00:21:38,813 --> 00:21:40,253 Speaker 2: seems like too much Evey me. I'm already got to 504 00:21:40,253 --> 00:21:42,613 Speaker 2: plug in on my phone. Now that's already taking out 505 00:21:42,613 --> 00:21:43,213 Speaker 2: more dasy. 506 00:21:43,253 --> 00:21:45,453 Speaker 3: You're drive into your garage, the plug's right there. But 507 00:21:45,533 --> 00:21:48,173 Speaker 3: then here's the kicker for the new ones is that 508 00:21:48,333 --> 00:21:52,013 Speaker 3: it will start charging itself after seven o'clock because that's 509 00:21:52,013 --> 00:21:55,093 Speaker 3: when power's cheaper. So you can set it to you know, 510 00:21:55,893 --> 00:21:57,453 Speaker 3: just set the wee thing and then I don't have 511 00:21:57,533 --> 00:21:58,413 Speaker 3: to do anything and boom. 512 00:21:58,653 --> 00:22:02,572 Speaker 2: So with your FEV, you're plug in hybrid EV if 513 00:22:02,613 --> 00:22:05,973 Speaker 2: you're driving between cities. So if you're driving from Wellington 514 00:22:06,013 --> 00:22:10,333 Speaker 2: to Auckland or let's just say now to christ that's 515 00:22:10,373 --> 00:22:13,773 Speaker 2: your stomping ground back day, yep. Would you drive for 516 00:22:13,853 --> 00:22:17,213 Speaker 2: a bit on the EV and then flick a switch 517 00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:18,733 Speaker 2: and head over to the gas or does that happen 518 00:22:18,733 --> 00:22:20,133 Speaker 2: automatically or what do you do there? 519 00:22:20,213 --> 00:22:22,013 Speaker 3: There's a week button for the EV. That's what the 520 00:22:22,053 --> 00:22:24,173 Speaker 3: smart people would do, is that if you're on the highway, 521 00:22:24,413 --> 00:22:27,253 Speaker 3: use the fossil fuel because it's more efficient and electrics 522 00:22:27,293 --> 00:22:29,572 Speaker 3: not very efficient at one hundred k. And then when 523 00:22:29,573 --> 00:22:31,173 Speaker 3: you get into a town and whack it on EV, 524 00:22:31,533 --> 00:22:34,813 Speaker 3: I don't I just sat the battery straight away, get 525 00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:36,973 Speaker 3: my free fifty k and then back on the juice. 526 00:22:37,373 --> 00:22:42,253 Speaker 2: Seems to eat pretty well. Josh, you're running two EV's, Yeah, sure. 527 00:22:42,893 --> 00:22:46,973 Speaker 12: I think like we've had EV's for a while and 528 00:22:47,093 --> 00:22:51,133 Speaker 12: I think there's just like a real legacy thought process 529 00:22:51,213 --> 00:22:55,333 Speaker 12: around the people that are looking at Persson cars and 530 00:22:55,493 --> 00:22:59,373 Speaker 12: what actually EV gives you. Like I'm a sales rep 531 00:22:59,453 --> 00:23:03,653 Speaker 12: and so we I was paying about four hundred bucks 532 00:23:03,693 --> 00:23:08,773 Speaker 12: a week in diesel and my old Repto and just 533 00:23:08,933 --> 00:23:11,173 Speaker 12: like it to go to a to an EV. 534 00:23:11,853 --> 00:23:13,413 Speaker 5: And like the range. 535 00:23:13,493 --> 00:23:16,373 Speaker 12: Now people complain about range. They think you can't do 536 00:23:16,493 --> 00:23:20,933 Speaker 12: long trips, they and it is more sort of mindset around, 537 00:23:21,013 --> 00:23:24,213 Speaker 12: oh well, you've got this short level range, you can't 538 00:23:24,293 --> 00:23:27,453 Speaker 12: go long distance. It's a real saga to charge. But 539 00:23:27,853 --> 00:23:31,653 Speaker 12: the reality is that it's just not like which are 540 00:23:31,653 --> 00:23:35,133 Speaker 12: all from Auckland to the mountains and we have like 541 00:23:35,253 --> 00:23:36,853 Speaker 12: a twenty minute coffee break on the way. 542 00:23:37,053 --> 00:23:37,573 Speaker 4: Charge it up. 543 00:23:38,253 --> 00:23:42,293 Speaker 12: But it's just so much more what you actually get 544 00:23:42,373 --> 00:23:45,133 Speaker 12: for your money, I think is a lot better than 545 00:23:45,173 --> 00:23:49,573 Speaker 12: what you get with a traditional combussion engine vehicle. But yeah, 546 00:23:49,693 --> 00:23:52,373 Speaker 12: like you're right, people perceive that you get upgrades and 547 00:23:52,493 --> 00:23:53,733 Speaker 12: things go. The things are. 548 00:23:53,613 --> 00:23:56,613 Speaker 2: Beginning because it can I just stop you there, I've 549 00:23:56,653 --> 00:23:59,453 Speaker 2: done a terrible thing.

It is twenty two to two Josh, So apologies 580 00:25:34,293 --> 00:25:37,653 Speaker 2: for that that before. So when we jump to the news, 581 00:25:37,973 --> 00:25:40,693 Speaker 2: you were talking about the straw manning of evs. 582 00:25:41,773 --> 00:25:46,213 Speaker 12: Yeah, Like, honestly, I just think people just either have 583 00:25:46,373 --> 00:25:49,533 Speaker 12: a misconception around what you actually get from an EV 584 00:25:50,293 --> 00:25:53,493 Speaker 12: and that's sort of just been maybe historical when you 585 00:25:53,613 --> 00:25:55,773 Speaker 12: have a look at some of the entry evs that 586 00:25:55,933 --> 00:25:59,573 Speaker 12: came to the market. But the technology now is just 587 00:26:00,213 --> 00:26:02,733 Speaker 12: so much more advanced in terms of range that you get, 588 00:26:03,493 --> 00:26:06,853 Speaker 12: like and when you combine that with stuff like solar, 589 00:26:06,933 --> 00:26:10,533 Speaker 12: which is you know is a huge push by the 590 00:26:10,613 --> 00:26:13,413 Speaker 12: banks and stuff to get more solar and houses, that's 591 00:26:14,293 --> 00:26:18,373 Speaker 12: it just provides an ecosystem there as like very cost 592 00:26:18,413 --> 00:26:22,733 Speaker 12: a victim, but there are no real downsides. And yeah, 593 00:26:22,773 --> 00:26:25,773 Speaker 12: it's that's when I first got an e V, I 594 00:26:26,213 --> 00:26:29,253 Speaker 12: I was I didn't even research it. I was just like, oh, well, 595 00:26:29,293 --> 00:26:31,853 Speaker 12: it's going to be cheaper than diesel. Yeah, and then 596 00:26:32,253 --> 00:26:35,413 Speaker 12: you know, committed to it, and yeah, we bought our 597 00:26:35,413 --> 00:26:37,173 Speaker 12: sick like, so we bought our sick and one. We 598 00:26:37,253 --> 00:26:41,453 Speaker 12: have two now and I just never like ever go 599 00:26:41,613 --> 00:26:42,933 Speaker 12: back to having. 600 00:26:42,733 --> 00:26:43,333 Speaker 16: A petrol car. 601 00:26:43,573 --> 00:26:45,493 Speaker 2: So you said you were you said you were driving 602 00:26:45,733 --> 00:26:49,533 Speaker 2: a Reptor, Josh, So did you go to a ute EV? 603 00:26:51,213 --> 00:26:54,373 Speaker 12: No, I got a We wanted to get a seven 604 00:26:54,453 --> 00:26:58,133 Speaker 12: seed vehicle for the family, so we got a win 605 00:26:58,213 --> 00:27:01,293 Speaker 12: from a Reptor to a Tisler. And then when we 606 00:27:01,413 --> 00:27:04,733 Speaker 12: got our new car, like our new Tisler like last year, 607 00:27:05,133 --> 00:27:08,053 Speaker 12: we just wanted a small, smaller vehicle for my wife 608 00:27:08,573 --> 00:27:12,293 Speaker 12: and so yeah, just w got a Model three. So yeah, 609 00:27:12,573 --> 00:27:15,413 Speaker 12: it was just the Raptor was costing a lot in 610 00:27:15,853 --> 00:27:19,533 Speaker 12: like so much in maintenance. Tires were ridiculous, Yeah, and 611 00:27:19,853 --> 00:27:21,813 Speaker 12: just the diesel cost you know, yeah. 612 00:27:21,693 --> 00:27:24,493 Speaker 2: Because that's something that people sort of forget in their 613 00:27:24,533 --> 00:27:28,053 Speaker 2: calculations that the evs have so few moving parts that 614 00:27:28,333 --> 00:27:31,093 Speaker 2: servicing doesn't become a big thing. And that's a bit 615 00:27:31,093 --> 00:27:33,333 Speaker 2: of a problem with your with your PHVs, isn't it, 616 00:27:33,373 --> 00:27:35,693 Speaker 2: because you you've got both. You've got the combustion engine 617 00:27:35,693 --> 00:27:37,373 Speaker 2: and the EV, so you're going to have to get 618 00:27:37,453 --> 00:27:40,493 Speaker 2: the same servicing as you would with the combustion engine. Yeah, 619 00:27:40,573 --> 00:27:45,293 Speaker 2: correct car. So with the Tesla so as you know, 620 00:27:45,413 --> 00:27:49,773 Speaker 2: you say that there's advancements coming. As the advancement coming 621 00:27:49,853 --> 00:27:50,693 Speaker 2: in the battery area. 622 00:27:52,133 --> 00:27:54,373 Speaker 12: Yeah, so like the new Model three, there we got 623 00:27:54,613 --> 00:27:56,853 Speaker 12: was the increased range. So I think we get about 624 00:27:56,973 --> 00:27:59,893 Speaker 12: seven hundred k out of there just with the new batteries. 625 00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:04,973 Speaker 12: But the like before we got the Model three, we 626 00:28:05,413 --> 00:28:08,413 Speaker 12: like I test drove the BYD and the Mercedes and 627 00:28:08,493 --> 00:28:13,773 Speaker 12: lots of the other pure evs, and the battery technology 628 00:28:13,853 --> 00:28:16,453 Speaker 12: is pretty much of a muchness and a straight EV car. 629 00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:19,653 Speaker 12: But I think the reason why we've got another Taylor, 630 00:28:19,693 --> 00:28:23,853 Speaker 12: for example, is just the like the interface, the software, 631 00:28:24,053 --> 00:28:26,133 Speaker 12: and it's sort of it's just made like I'm a 632 00:28:26,173 --> 00:28:28,973 Speaker 12: pretty lazy driver having to drive so much, and so 633 00:28:29,773 --> 00:28:32,933 Speaker 12: you know, taking away a lot of the hessle of 634 00:28:33,053 --> 00:28:36,413 Speaker 12: driving just with like automated driving on motorways and that 635 00:28:36,493 --> 00:28:39,533 Speaker 12: stuff was sort of and the continuity of I already 636 00:28:39,573 --> 00:28:42,853 Speaker 12: knew how to use it, but I think just ev 637 00:28:43,013 --> 00:28:45,853 Speaker 12: in general, there's just people have to have a more 638 00:28:45,933 --> 00:28:49,813 Speaker 12: open mind, like just go try it. The advancements and software, sure, 639 00:28:49,973 --> 00:28:53,453 Speaker 12: but most of them will get updated software. Like in 640 00:28:53,813 --> 00:28:56,973 Speaker 12: my Model EX that I've had for five years now 641 00:28:57,133 --> 00:29:00,813 Speaker 12: done just over one hundred thousand K, I've spent twenty 642 00:29:00,893 --> 00:29:02,733 Speaker 12: five hundred dollars on tires. 643 00:29:02,453 --> 00:29:05,533 Speaker 2: And that's it and has the battery holding up is 644 00:29:06,053 --> 00:29:07,973 Speaker 2: after that line there's. 645 00:29:07,773 --> 00:29:12,093 Speaker 12: Still ninety percent, So I'll still get five hundred and 646 00:29:12,333 --> 00:29:15,893 Speaker 12: thirty K out of my Model X. So yeah, it's 647 00:29:16,413 --> 00:29:21,533 Speaker 12: like ridiculous. The degradation in battery is just not worth it. 648 00:29:21,693 --> 00:29:23,413 Speaker 12: Like when I worked it out on my Raptor, I 649 00:29:23,493 --> 00:29:25,453 Speaker 12: think over the space of the four years I had it, 650 00:29:26,333 --> 00:29:30,253 Speaker 12: I spent on tires, not including diesel on tires, I 651 00:29:30,333 --> 00:29:34,093 Speaker 12: think I spent around twenty a twenty grand on maintenance. 652 00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:38,093 Speaker 12: Now Raptor is notoriously unreliable when you're road driving, like 653 00:29:38,293 --> 00:29:41,733 Speaker 12: just with ripping through tires. But you know, the servicing 654 00:29:42,253 --> 00:29:44,173 Speaker 12: taking it into Ford to get done it was just 655 00:29:44,493 --> 00:29:45,533 Speaker 12: crazy expensive. 656 00:29:45,973 --> 00:29:50,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, the servicing as there needs to be a whole 657 00:29:50,453 --> 00:29:52,973 Speaker 2: documentary done on how much they charge for servicing it. 658 00:29:53,093 --> 00:29:54,853 Speaker 2: The when you buy it from the dealership when you 659 00:29:54,933 --> 00:29:56,413 Speaker 2: take it to the dealership that you bought it from. 660 00:29:57,133 --> 00:30:00,493 Speaker 2: With the software upgrades Josh, Though some of these software 661 00:30:00,773 --> 00:30:03,453 Speaker 2: upgrades are subscriptions. Have you ever gone for any of those? 662 00:30:04,773 --> 00:30:04,813 Speaker 5: No? 663 00:30:05,293 --> 00:30:07,813 Speaker 12: Like, So when when I got my Model X, I 664 00:30:07,853 --> 00:30:10,893 Speaker 12: guess I wasn't to do earlier. Doctor, you pay for 665 00:30:11,333 --> 00:30:13,693 Speaker 12: the subscription upfront, and well you sorry. You pay for 666 00:30:13,693 --> 00:30:15,813 Speaker 12: the license upfront and then it just carries on with 667 00:30:15,933 --> 00:30:19,253 Speaker 12: the cars. So I had to get the hardware chef 668 00:30:19,333 --> 00:30:22,413 Speaker 12: upgraded in my one football self drive, like in my 669 00:30:22,493 --> 00:30:26,213 Speaker 12: Model X and that costs me I think about twelve 670 00:30:26,293 --> 00:30:29,013 Speaker 12: hundred dollars, But that was optional. I didn't actually have 671 00:30:29,093 --> 00:30:29,373 Speaker 12: to do that. 672 00:30:31,853 --> 00:30:32,933 Speaker 9: Yeah, so you do. 673 00:30:33,613 --> 00:30:35,413 Speaker 12: It depends on how you buy. Like you can get 674 00:30:35,413 --> 00:30:38,893 Speaker 12: subscription based services, but subscription is the way that you 675 00:30:39,013 --> 00:30:42,253 Speaker 12: buy everything now, you know, from your computers and everything 676 00:30:42,373 --> 00:30:43,213 Speaker 12: to even your car. 677 00:30:43,493 --> 00:30:43,693 Speaker 9: Yeah. 678 00:30:43,813 --> 00:30:47,773 Speaker 3: Right, with the resale value equation, and I think it 679 00:30:47,893 --> 00:30:50,653 Speaker 3: is legitimate. The resale on a lot of evsa's is 680 00:30:50,813 --> 00:30:53,013 Speaker 3: not great. But does that do you think that buys 681 00:30:53,133 --> 00:30:56,013 Speaker 3: into most people's consideration? For me, I always thought I 682 00:30:56,093 --> 00:30:58,453 Speaker 3: was going to run my vehicle into the ground effectively, 683 00:30:58,733 --> 00:31:01,453 Speaker 3: and it's going to hit the floor where I'll get 684 00:31:01,533 --> 00:31:03,853 Speaker 3: an okay price in the second hand market. But I 685 00:31:04,053 --> 00:31:06,173 Speaker 3: you know, you never make any money off a vehicle. 686 00:31:06,573 --> 00:31:08,053 Speaker 3: So do you think most people just think I'm just 687 00:31:08,093 --> 00:31:09,733 Speaker 3: going to run it into the ground and I'm not 688 00:31:09,813 --> 00:31:11,813 Speaker 3: here to flog it on even if the resale is 689 00:31:11,853 --> 00:31:12,293 Speaker 3: a bit poor. 690 00:31:13,453 --> 00:31:15,733 Speaker 12: Yeah, like one hundred percent, because that's that's what I think. 691 00:31:15,893 --> 00:31:18,453 Speaker 12: Like I was going to every car of your own, 692 00:31:18,533 --> 00:31:20,213 Speaker 12: I think I'm just going to drive it until I 693 00:31:20,253 --> 00:31:22,813 Speaker 12: was dead. Like I had a Corolla when I was 694 00:31:22,933 --> 00:31:25,653 Speaker 12: really young, and I drove there to eight hundred thousand 695 00:31:25,733 --> 00:31:29,173 Speaker 12: K until it literally died. And so you know, my 696 00:31:29,373 --> 00:31:31,973 Speaker 12: whole thing is I'll go until it can't go anymore. 697 00:31:32,253 --> 00:31:35,733 Speaker 12: And so between the period you've saved so much money 698 00:31:36,133 --> 00:31:40,213 Speaker 12: like that, it's not really It's like it's not really 699 00:31:40,253 --> 00:31:42,413 Speaker 12: a vector in my mind, And I think a lot 700 00:31:42,453 --> 00:31:44,413 Speaker 12: of people are like that. You know, you just drive 701 00:31:44,453 --> 00:31:46,653 Speaker 12: it until it doesn't go anymore. Like, yeah, why would 702 00:31:46,693 --> 00:31:49,133 Speaker 12: you upgrade you on better performance? Well, it's very. 703 00:31:49,133 --> 00:31:52,093 Speaker 3: Hard because you're trying to people so much. 704 00:31:52,293 --> 00:31:54,613 Speaker 12: Well, ev there is so much better performance than any 705 00:31:55,093 --> 00:31:56,493 Speaker 12: any standard Petroker. 706 00:31:56,853 --> 00:31:58,373 Speaker 2: But I think a lot of a lot of buying 707 00:31:58,413 --> 00:32:00,293 Speaker 2: of a new car is just so you can be 708 00:32:00,453 --> 00:32:02,293 Speaker 2: driving around and then new a car to show off 709 00:32:02,333 --> 00:32:04,173 Speaker 2: when you're picking the kids up from school or something, 710 00:32:04,173 --> 00:32:04,653 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. 711 00:32:04,853 --> 00:32:06,413 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I. 712 00:32:06,493 --> 00:32:09,493 Speaker 12: Agree, But that's like, I think, different mindset. The people 713 00:32:09,573 --> 00:32:13,253 Speaker 12: that do it their way generally aren't the ones that 714 00:32:13,813 --> 00:32:17,133 Speaker 12: worried so much around the financial aspect of it, like myself, 715 00:32:17,813 --> 00:32:21,173 Speaker 12: like spend eighty grand on a car. But then you know, 716 00:32:21,613 --> 00:32:23,613 Speaker 12: there are teasels in the US that have done a 717 00:32:23,693 --> 00:32:27,773 Speaker 12: million miles, like the Texis, And you know, there's my idea, 718 00:32:27,813 --> 00:32:29,693 Speaker 12: if I can just keep it going until one day 719 00:32:29,773 --> 00:32:31,053 Speaker 12: or go down and it doesn't work. 720 00:32:32,973 --> 00:32:35,453 Speaker 2: Well, if you hear about the environment, that's the way 721 00:32:35,493 --> 00:32:38,533 Speaker 2: to do it, right, to just drive the car until 722 00:32:38,573 --> 00:32:41,933 Speaker 2: it dies and then call a tow trait. Yes, getting 723 00:32:41,933 --> 00:32:43,613 Speaker 2: the most miles out of it, rather than bring a 724 00:32:43,653 --> 00:32:44,733 Speaker 2: new one into the system. 725 00:32:45,773 --> 00:32:48,413 Speaker 12: They do recycling as well, like a big Warriors. Well, 726 00:32:48,613 --> 00:32:51,133 Speaker 12: when it dies, they're going to just chuckle. These lithium 727 00:32:51,173 --> 00:32:54,493 Speaker 12: batteries and landfill. That's not really true, like a lot 728 00:32:54,533 --> 00:32:57,173 Speaker 12: of them will go into sold the batteries for your houses. 729 00:32:57,253 --> 00:33:00,893 Speaker 12: So there are recycling programs where they reutilize a lot 730 00:33:00,933 --> 00:33:03,813 Speaker 12: of the components. But yeah, I think people just need 731 00:33:03,853 --> 00:33:06,533 Speaker 12: to have a more open mind. Whether it's like plug 732 00:33:06,693 --> 00:33:10,613 Speaker 12: in hybrid or you know, straight TV, people just have 733 00:33:10,733 --> 00:33:14,053 Speaker 12: to have an open mind and around what benefits instead 734 00:33:14,053 --> 00:33:16,213 Speaker 12: of just writing it off while they cramp or whatever. 735 00:33:16,293 --> 00:33:18,973 Speaker 12: It's just not really the case. You ask any tears 736 00:33:18,973 --> 00:33:22,053 Speaker 12: of the driver or any EV driver, I'd say ninety 737 00:33:22,093 --> 00:33:24,653 Speaker 12: five percent of them would enjoy driving that and most 738 00:33:24,653 --> 00:33:26,653 Speaker 12: of them won't go back to a normal petrol of 739 00:33:26,813 --> 00:33:27,493 Speaker 12: diesel vehicle. 740 00:33:27,653 --> 00:33:29,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, good on you, Josh, Thank you very much.

I'm not sure if you 820 00:37:01,853 --> 00:37:02,533 Speaker 4: heard about those. 821 00:37:03,333 --> 00:37:05,813 Speaker 2: No, please explain.

So they have been developing their 825 00:37:16,373 --> 00:37:19,853 Speaker 4: technology for some time and they reckon they're going to 826 00:37:19,933 --> 00:37:24,173 Speaker 4: get out about twenty one hundred kilometers per charge, and 827 00:37:24,213 --> 00:37:28,933 Speaker 4: alongside that they've been developing fast charging to charge it 828 00:37:29,013 --> 00:37:29,813 Speaker 4: in five minutes. 829 00:37:30,133 --> 00:37:30,373 Speaker 9: Wow. 830 00:37:30,453 --> 00:37:33,933 Speaker 4: So this is what they're talking about at the presentation December. 831 00:37:34,493 --> 00:37:37,172 Speaker 4: I don't we'll see it this year or next year, 832 00:37:37,253 --> 00:37:40,893 Speaker 4: but they're talking it's it's in the pipeline and being 833 00:37:40,933 --> 00:37:43,373 Speaker 4: a sodium battery, they reckon it's far denser. 834 00:37:43,813 --> 00:37:47,213 Speaker 2: So what they're saying that you could drive basically Auckland 835 00:37:47,253 --> 00:37:49,733 Speaker 2: to the need and back on a four minute charge. 836 00:37:50,973 --> 00:37:51,853 Speaker 9: Five minute charge. 837 00:37:52,373 --> 00:37:56,653 Speaker 4: That's a presentation they put to us. I think, you know, 838 00:37:56,773 --> 00:37:59,373 Speaker 4: it's early days, but at the very least that's what 839 00:37:59,453 --> 00:38:00,293 Speaker 4: they're talking about. 840 00:38:00,493 --> 00:38:04,693 Speaker 2: So you know, Fruis and that would be a massive 841 00:38:04,773 --> 00:38:05,453 Speaker 2: game changer. 842 00:38:05,733 --> 00:38:09,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, thank you very much much, and sorry we 843 00:38:09,333 --> 00:38:11,333 Speaker 3: wouldn't have more time with you because the news is 844 00:38:11,413 --> 00:38:14,173 Speaker 3: fast approaching.

Yeah, right 893 00:40:27,293 --> 00:40:30,133 Speaker 3: back to our discussion about EV. So this was after 894 00:40:30,293 --> 00:40:33,013 Speaker 3: by D general manager. He was on with Mike this 895 00:40:33,333 --> 00:40:36,493 Speaker 3: morning and he said the number of electric and hybrid 896 00:40:36,573 --> 00:40:41,533 Speaker 3: BYD's cars bought last Saturday quadrupled their usual sale. 897 00:40:41,613 --> 00:40:42,853 Speaker 2: Here's a little bit of what he had to say. 898 00:40:42,933 --> 00:40:45,733 Speaker 7: Typically on Saturday we'd probably do between twenty and twenty five. 899 00:40:45,613 --> 00:40:48,773 Speaker 8: Across the country, So on serious increase. 900 00:40:49,013 --> 00:40:51,293 Speaker 7: Absolutely, and our Australian friends are doing even better. They 901 00:40:51,373 --> 00:40:53,173 Speaker 7: sold nine hundred and two on Saturday. 902 00:40:53,573 --> 00:40:55,493 Speaker 8: Hybrids or BEVs, well both. 903 00:40:55,573 --> 00:40:58,693 Speaker 7: Actually, we're quite fortunate that our hybrids are super hybrids, 904 00:40:58,693 --> 00:41:00,213 Speaker 7: so you can have beasts of both worlds. 905 00:41:00,853 --> 00:41:03,213 Speaker 3: So if you missed that, he mentioned they sold eighty 906 00:41:03,413 --> 00:41:06,333 Speaker 3: last weekend versus the usual twenty to twenty five. So 907 00:41:06,853 --> 00:41:09,493 Speaker 3: are you in the market for a EV if you're 908 00:41:09,493 --> 00:41:11,373 Speaker 3: looking for a new car with the price of fuel 909 00:41:11,413 --> 00:41:12,213 Speaker 3: climbing higher. 910 00:41:12,933 --> 00:41:14,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, And when he says BEV, he's not talking about 911 00:41:14,813 --> 00:41:20,172 Speaker 2: your childhood best friend BEEV feathers. Bev's your childhood best friends, 912 00:41:20,253 --> 00:41:22,973 Speaker 2: Mum BEV who smoked the BNH special fields. It's not 913 00:41:22,973 --> 00:41:24,373 Speaker 2: what he's talking about. He's talking about battery. 914 00:41:24,413 --> 00:41:24,573 Speaker 12: EV. 915 00:41:24,653 --> 00:41:25,933 Speaker 2: It's a nice beef to have in your life. 916 00:41:26,013 --> 00:41:28,133 Speaker 3: But yeah, EV, so oh eight one hundred and eighty 917 00:41:28,333 --> 00:41:31,053 Speaker 3: ten eighty if you've recently purchased one or you're looking 918 00:41:31,133 --> 00:41:33,013 Speaker 3: to keen to hear your story. 919 00:41:33,173 --> 00:41:36,053 Speaker 2: So we're talking about sodium ion batteries before and the 920 00:41:36,093 --> 00:41:38,213 Speaker 2: sticks is just a quick note on sodium ion batteries. 921 00:41:38,253 --> 00:41:41,493 Speaker 2: While they're real and promising. They don't have super fast 922 00:41:41,773 --> 00:41:44,813 Speaker 2: five minute charging or one thousand kilometer range right now. 923 00:41:45,173 --> 00:41:48,013 Speaker 2: They're more likely to be a power, affordable and shorter 924 00:41:48,133 --> 00:41:50,413 Speaker 2: range EV's and should start appealing around twenty twenty six. 925 00:41:50,413 --> 00:41:54,133 Speaker 2: Appearing around twenty twenty six. They will compliment lithium, not 926 00:41:54,213 --> 00:41:57,212 Speaker 2: replace it. Do a quick research and you'll see the info. 927 00:41:57,333 --> 00:42:00,053 Speaker 2: Great progress and being rolled out in China. 928 00:42:00,173 --> 00:42:02,653 Speaker 3: Though interesting. I mean, just on the lithium question, that 929 00:42:02,853 --> 00:42:04,773 Speaker 3: is always one of the concerns. There's only so much 930 00:42:04,893 --> 00:42:07,373 Speaker 3: lithium and you've got to dig it out of the ground. 931 00:42:07,453 --> 00:42:09,893 Speaker 3: But if it is sody based, a lot more sodium 932 00:42:09,933 --> 00:42:11,773 Speaker 3: to go around than lithium. So that is promising. 933 00:42:12,453 --> 00:42:14,853 Speaker 2: Oh Dowd's and Elliceley has a big set up. People 934 00:42:14,933 --> 00:42:16,773 Speaker 2: were drinking there at ten am. 935 00:42:16,933 --> 00:42:19,453 Speaker 3: Cheers that man, Oh Dowd. 936 00:42:19,613 --> 00:42:22,053 Speaker 2: So I just I guess maybe when I drive into work, 937 00:42:22,093 --> 00:42:24,453 Speaker 2: I didn't see you used to see a lot mustn't 938 00:42:24,453 --> 00:42:27,333 Speaker 2: have been on my route.

Sure it is nineteen past too, so 1061 00:48:16,893 --> 00:48:20,013 Speaker 3: we're talking about electric vehicles. This was after byd general 1062 00:48:20,093 --> 00:48:23,453 Speaker 3: manager said they had a massive uptick last weekend, arguably 1063 00:48:23,573 --> 00:48:25,893 Speaker 3: on the back of the climbing fuel prices. But he 1064 00:48:25,973 --> 00:48:29,493 Speaker 3: did mention the mike this morning that many people who 1065 00:48:29,573 --> 00:48:31,732 Speaker 3: came in we're on the fence anyway, and the fuel 1066 00:48:31,773 --> 00:48:34,212 Speaker 3: prices just tipped them over to purchase a new EV. 1067 00:48:34,493 --> 00:48:37,013 Speaker 3: So is that you o eighte hundred and eighty ten eighty. 1068 00:48:37,133 --> 00:48:40,973 Speaker 3: Have we fallen back in love with electric vehicles? So 1069 00:48:41,133 --> 00:48:44,853 Speaker 3: adrianne yes, ad from Christ Yes, nice. 1070 00:48:44,733 --> 00:48:45,333 Speaker 2: To chat with you. 1071 00:48:45,453 --> 00:48:47,293 Speaker 3: So you've just bought a hybrid today. 1072 00:48:47,933 --> 00:48:49,493 Speaker 13: Yeah, I just went out and bought a forward to 1073 00:48:49,573 --> 00:48:52,333 Speaker 13: skate the top one today and just sold a near 1074 00:48:52,413 --> 00:48:54,933 Speaker 13: New Foreverest. I'm very happy with it. 1075 00:48:55,093 --> 00:48:56,172 Speaker 5: But yeah, we were. 1076 00:48:56,173 --> 00:48:59,293 Speaker 13: Tipped, probably pushed a bit. We're thinking maybe two more 1077 00:48:59,373 --> 00:49:01,733 Speaker 13: years go to a hybrid. But I took it for 1078 00:49:01,853 --> 00:49:04,772 Speaker 13: test run and I wouldn't buy a plug in because 1079 00:49:04,773 --> 00:49:08,172 Speaker 13: I want, you know, driving independence, and I'd a lot 1080 00:49:08,173 --> 00:49:10,333 Speaker 13: of around town work during the week, and then every 1081 00:49:10,373 --> 00:49:12,493 Speaker 13: couple of months we head south to Central Otago. So 1082 00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:14,013 Speaker 13: it's going to be able to do open road on 1083 00:49:14,093 --> 00:49:16,653 Speaker 13: the petrol as well, so it gives. 1084 00:49:16,573 --> 00:49:18,172 Speaker 2: Us options really nice to drive. 1085 00:49:19,573 --> 00:49:22,293 Speaker 13: It's okay, it's not my forever car. I'm not madly 1086 00:49:22,373 --> 00:49:25,213 Speaker 13: in love, but it gets from A to B so 1087 00:49:25,413 --> 00:49:29,613 Speaker 13: it will serve the purpose, I hope. But I've researched 1088 00:49:29,653 --> 00:49:31,893 Speaker 13: all these walls and if it keeps going, it's going 1089 00:49:31,973 --> 00:49:34,493 Speaker 13: to go up it We'll get short and at least 1090 00:49:34,493 --> 00:49:36,653 Speaker 13: with the battery we can still do our basic tasks 1091 00:49:36,893 --> 00:49:38,533 Speaker 13: each day rather than walking or boaking. 1092 00:49:38,853 --> 00:49:42,693 Speaker 3: Right, So the climbing fuel prices was a big consideration, was. 1093 00:49:42,733 --> 00:49:46,253 Speaker 13: It potentially Yes, and having a little bit of independence 1094 00:49:46,293 --> 00:49:48,893 Speaker 13: with the battery, but you've got to really drive it 1095 00:49:49,093 --> 00:49:52,093 Speaker 13: very tamely to keep it within battery mode around town. 1096 00:49:52,573 --> 00:49:55,013 Speaker 13: If you over accelerate or you a little bit aggressive, 1097 00:49:55,893 --> 00:49:58,373 Speaker 13: it goes into petrol quite quickly because you can have 1098 00:49:58,453 --> 00:50:00,493 Speaker 13: an app. You got the thing on the console and 1099 00:50:00,573 --> 00:50:03,093 Speaker 13: it shows you when you're in battery or whether you've 1100 00:50:03,293 --> 00:50:06,133 Speaker 13: kicked into the engine. So it's a slightly different style 1101 00:50:06,213 --> 00:50:09,253 Speaker 13: of driving. I found, not that I'm aggressive, but I 1102 00:50:09,373 --> 00:50:11,253 Speaker 13: ken can put my foot down the show you know 1103 00:50:11,933 --> 00:50:14,573 Speaker 13: where I am on the on the road. But it'll 1104 00:50:14,613 --> 00:50:18,453 Speaker 13: be interesting. But I think it's half the cost of 1105 00:50:18,533 --> 00:50:21,733 Speaker 13: running a diesel and there's no road user and also 1106 00:50:23,173 --> 00:50:25,813 Speaker 13: it's about five Yeah, it's just half the cost of 1107 00:50:25,893 --> 00:50:29,453 Speaker 13: running the diesel. So it'll be interesting to see. Yeah, 1108 00:50:29,493 --> 00:50:31,533 Speaker 13: we'll go to we'll manage it and observe it for 1109 00:50:31,573 --> 00:50:33,373 Speaker 13: the next two years and see and then we might 1110 00:50:33,453 --> 00:50:37,133 Speaker 13: go into another one or not. But I'll do my bit. 1111 00:50:37,373 --> 00:50:39,813 Speaker 13: And yeah, and I've got I've got a knee bike 1112 00:50:39,853 --> 00:50:41,652 Speaker 13: as well, and I'm about to go into my third 1113 00:50:41,693 --> 00:50:43,933 Speaker 13: e bike. So I like them, and they've got plenty 1114 00:50:43,973 --> 00:50:45,453 Speaker 13: of power and everything. You know, when you put your 1115 00:50:45,453 --> 00:50:46,733 Speaker 13: foot down they do take off. 1116 00:50:48,413 --> 00:50:50,013 Speaker 2: When you pass people start calling you. 1117 00:50:52,493 --> 00:50:52,533 Speaker 5: That. 1118 00:50:52,893 --> 00:50:57,973 Speaker 13: No, they call me the beast, the beast.

I don't 1236 00:56:20,613 --> 00:56:22,813 Speaker 2: believe that people have just rushed off to the dealership 1237 00:56:22,893 --> 00:56:25,453 Speaker 2: right because of the latest fuel scare. I think most 1238 00:56:25,493 --> 00:56:27,373 Speaker 2: of us know it will pass soon and after. It 1239 00:56:27,413 --> 00:56:29,333 Speaker 2: seems more likely that they were thinking about in all 1240 00:56:29,373 --> 00:56:31,573 Speaker 2: the chat about gas got them gotten through the door, 1241 00:56:31,733 --> 00:56:33,493 Speaker 2: because that's all we're talking about right at the moment, 1242 00:56:33,893 --> 00:56:36,093 Speaker 2: the gas. So if you've been thinking about in any 1243 00:56:36,173 --> 00:56:38,893 Speaker 2: kind of EV, it's probably been foremost in your mind. 1244 00:56:39,173 --> 00:56:41,853 Speaker 2: What also seems to me looking at the numbers is 1245 00:56:41,893 --> 00:56:44,853 Speaker 2: that kiwis love half measures. They don't want to go 1246 00:56:45,013 --> 00:56:47,252 Speaker 2: full BEV as much as they want to go fear 1247 00:56:47,293 --> 00:56:49,253 Speaker 2: of for HEAV. They want to fear or have it 1248 00:56:49,373 --> 00:56:52,093 Speaker 2: up back both ways, which might be wise considering the 1249 00:56:52,133 --> 00:56:55,613 Speaker 2: only thing shakier than our fossil fuel import system during 1250 00:56:55,653 --> 00:56:59,493 Speaker 2: a Mid East crisis is the situation with our power 1251 00:56:59,533 --> 00:57:01,453 Speaker 2: grid in a dry year with a gas collapse. So 1252 00:57:02,373 --> 00:57:07,252 Speaker 2: you know, but I will say this finally, that there's 1253 00:57:07,413 --> 00:57:10,252 Speaker 2: little there's very few things in this world more fun 1254 00:57:10,533 --> 00:57:15,133 Speaker 2: than flooring and EV.

But in terms of 1305 00:59:55,213 --> 00:59:57,293 Speaker 20: the day to day's stuff, I think the zero alcohol 1306 00:59:58,253 --> 01:00:02,893 Speaker 20: product provisions are especially helpful. So currently you have to 1307 01:00:02,933 --> 01:00:05,293 Speaker 20: provide low alcohol beverages, which kind of your mid strength 1308 01:00:05,333 --> 01:00:07,533 Speaker 20: two and a half percent, and you have to provide 1309 01:00:07,613 --> 01:00:09,773 Speaker 20: no alcohol bever bridges to your soft drinks and water, 1310 01:00:09,893 --> 01:00:13,693 Speaker 20: but zero percent beer kind of falls into that gray area, 1311 01:00:13,813 --> 01:00:17,093 Speaker 20: I guess, And so the new rules mean that you'll 1312 01:00:17,093 --> 01:00:19,173 Speaker 20: be able to serve your zero percent and satisfy that 1313 01:00:19,253 --> 01:00:22,573 Speaker 20: low alcohol provision product. And obviously we know that that's 1314 01:00:22,613 --> 01:00:24,053 Speaker 20: become a massive consumer trend. 1315 01:00:24,693 --> 01:00:26,933 Speaker 2: How big is that become? Just on a side topic 1316 01:00:27,413 --> 01:00:30,053 Speaker 2: because I'll i'll buy zero zero. 1317 01:00:31,453 --> 01:00:34,253 Speaker 20: Yeah, look I don't I don't have the exact figures 1318 01:00:34,293 --> 01:00:37,693 Speaker 20: in front of me, but yeah, I mean, look, it 1319 01:00:37,813 --> 01:00:39,893 Speaker 20: doesn't take very long to work out that it's become 1320 01:00:39,893 --> 01:00:43,013 Speaker 20: a massive growth segment for the for the for the 1321 01:00:43,093 --> 01:00:46,213 Speaker 20: beer market. You know, consumers are asking for it a 1322 01:00:46,293 --> 01:00:49,813 Speaker 20: lot more. There's certainly a lot more selection in supermarkets 1323 01:00:49,853 --> 01:00:52,853 Speaker 20: and in venues than there was even sort of two 1324 01:00:52,973 --> 01:00:56,453 Speaker 20: three years ago. So yeah, a big one for us. 1325 01:00:57,133 --> 01:00:59,053 Speaker 2: Do you like the idea of restaurants being able to 1326 01:00:59,653 --> 01:01:01,573 Speaker 2: sell takeaway alcohol? 1327 01:01:03,693 --> 01:01:05,933 Speaker 20: I think I think that's more tidying up some of 1328 01:01:06,013 --> 01:01:10,213 Speaker 20: those some of those restaurants where they might have a 1329 01:01:10,253 --> 01:01:13,373 Speaker 20: retail shop attached, and so depending on your layout of 1330 01:01:13,453 --> 01:01:15,693 Speaker 20: your venue or the hours that you have for your 1331 01:01:16,973 --> 01:01:19,253 Speaker 20: for your off license, you might have to have that 1332 01:01:19,813 --> 01:01:23,053 Speaker 20: retail part of your business shut while people are finishing 1333 01:01:23,093 --> 01:01:27,573 Speaker 20: their dinner in the restaurant. And so it's enabling a 1334 01:01:27,613 --> 01:01:31,573 Speaker 20: bit more of that sort of flexibility you're already purchasing 1335 01:01:31,613 --> 01:01:34,133 Speaker 20: from someone who's been through a license process, and so 1336 01:01:35,013 --> 01:01:37,533 Speaker 20: why wouldn't you be able to also take some wine 1337 01:01:37,573 --> 01:01:40,253 Speaker 20: home if that's what you're choosing to do after your meal. 1338 01:01:40,613 --> 01:01:43,653 Speaker 2: Is that going to be for vineyards with restaurants in 1339 01:01:43,733 --> 01:01:44,253 Speaker 2: them and such? 1340 01:01:45,853 --> 01:01:49,373 Speaker 20: Yeah, but you know there's also the likes of Mediterranean 1341 01:01:49,453 --> 01:01:52,133 Speaker 20: Food Warehouse and some of those other sort of boutique 1342 01:01:53,093 --> 01:01:55,973 Speaker 20: they kind of have that deli model alongside the sort 1343 01:01:56,013 --> 01:02:00,573 Speaker 20: of restaurant side of things, and they'll have wines available 1344 01:02:00,613 --> 01:02:03,333 Speaker 20: and you can either drink those on premise or you 1345 01:02:03,373 --> 01:02:05,293 Speaker 20: should be able to take those home as well afterwards. 1346 01:02:05,853 --> 01:02:08,293 Speaker 3: We are speaking to Hospitality in New Zealand Head of 1347 01:02:08,373 --> 01:02:12,613 Speaker 3: Advocacy Sam McKinnon, So just on the license applications. So 1348 01:02:12,773 --> 01:02:17,213 Speaker 3: this will change those who can object to a license 1349 01:02:17,253 --> 01:02:19,533 Speaker 3: application they have to live or work in the same 1350 01:02:19,573 --> 01:02:22,573 Speaker 3: council area or live within one k of their premises. 1351 01:02:22,773 --> 01:02:23,813 Speaker 2: That makes whole lot of sense. 1352 01:02:23,973 --> 01:02:28,333 Speaker 3: So how many objections were hospitality or premises getting from 1353 01:02:28,373 --> 01:02:31,973 Speaker 3: people outside of where they actually operate from? That was 1354 01:02:32,013 --> 01:02:32,693 Speaker 3: that a big issue? 1355 01:02:33,853 --> 01:02:34,053 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1356 01:02:34,213 --> 01:02:38,173 Speaker 20: So I guess a lot of these changes are rebalancing 1357 01:02:38,773 --> 01:02:41,373 Speaker 20: previous changes to the salence flag Alcohol Act and the 1358 01:02:41,413 --> 01:02:46,133 Speaker 20: way that the licensing system worked, and so previous changes 1359 01:02:46,213 --> 01:02:49,053 Speaker 20: did broaden out who could object, so anyone could object 1360 01:02:49,093 --> 01:02:52,853 Speaker 20: from anywhere, and we did have members who felt that 1361 01:02:52,893 --> 01:02:56,733 Speaker 20: they were getting vexatious objections through their process. You know, 1362 01:02:56,893 --> 01:02:59,053 Speaker 20: you could be a country pub in Otago and no 1363 01:02:59,173 --> 01:03:01,133 Speaker 20: one in your local area has any issue with the 1364 01:03:01,173 --> 01:03:04,013 Speaker 20: way that you're operating, but you have a set of 1365 01:03:04,093 --> 01:03:08,173 Speaker 20: objections coming out of Auckland on the basis of not 1366 01:03:08,413 --> 01:03:11,973 Speaker 20: liking anyone selling alcohol rather than a specific issue with 1367 01:03:12,013 --> 01:03:12,813 Speaker 20: the license holder. 1368 01:03:13,693 --> 01:03:13,973 Speaker 5: And so. 1369 01:03:15,533 --> 01:03:18,013 Speaker 20: If you have public objections, that generally ends up in 1370 01:03:18,133 --> 01:03:20,093 Speaker 20: you ending up in a hearing in front of your 1371 01:03:20,133 --> 01:03:22,813 Speaker 20: district licensing committee and make the decision over whether or 1372 01:03:22,853 --> 01:03:26,173 Speaker 20: not you should be able to sell alcohol. And that 1373 01:03:26,293 --> 01:03:31,013 Speaker 20: obviously adds significant time and money and uncertainty into the 1374 01:03:31,093 --> 01:03:35,613 Speaker 20: licensing process for full venues. So tightening that up so 1375 01:03:35,733 --> 01:03:39,173 Speaker 20: that the objectors actually have an interest in the local 1376 01:03:39,213 --> 01:03:41,853 Speaker 20: community where the venue is operating makes a lot of sense. 1377 01:03:42,893 --> 01:03:45,813 Speaker 2: Does this do anything to change the balance towards drinking 1378 01:03:45,973 --> 01:03:50,453 Speaker 2: in bars and restaurants over buying from the supermarket and 1379 01:03:50,533 --> 01:03:52,813 Speaker 2: bottle store and taking both home, Because it seems to 1380 01:03:52,893 --> 01:03:55,253 Speaker 2: me that's what we want to happen. That we would 1381 01:03:55,373 --> 01:03:59,813 Speaker 2: prefer people were drinking more in restaurants and bars where 1382 01:04:00,053 --> 01:04:03,093 Speaker 2: they are, you know, where they're being looked after and 1383 01:04:03,933 --> 01:04:05,813 Speaker 2: people are being employed. Does it do anything to balance 1384 01:04:06,093 --> 01:04:06,493 Speaker 2: that out? 1385 01:04:08,493 --> 01:04:08,533 Speaker 16: No? 1386 01:04:08,693 --> 01:04:11,613 Speaker 20: I mean, look when it's dealing with the licensing system 1387 01:04:11,653 --> 01:04:14,813 Speaker 20: as a whole, that that applies to off license, so 1388 01:04:14,933 --> 01:04:17,373 Speaker 20: your bottle shops and your supermarkets, as well as it 1389 01:04:17,413 --> 01:04:22,493 Speaker 20: does to onlinense, so your traditional hospo venues. So I 1390 01:04:22,573 --> 01:04:24,973 Speaker 20: guess in terms of the certainty that it provides for 1391 01:04:25,133 --> 01:04:28,653 Speaker 20: our for our membership, and for bars and cafes in general, 1392 01:04:29,253 --> 01:04:33,533 Speaker 20: that's improved. But it doesn't do anything to move where 1393 01:04:33,613 --> 01:04:38,293 Speaker 20: you would choose to consume your alcohol. So yeah, it doesn't. 1394 01:04:38,333 --> 01:04:41,493 Speaker 20: It doesn't. None of these changes necessarily push people towards 1395 01:04:41,533 --> 01:04:45,293 Speaker 20: on premise consumption. But they are changes that we're happy 1396 01:04:45,373 --> 01:04:48,293 Speaker 20: with in terms of making life easier for the day 1397 01:04:48,333 --> 01:04:49,613 Speaker 20: to day operation of a venue. 1398 01:04:50,253 --> 01:04:52,533 Speaker 2: Is there anything else you'd like to see them do 1399 01:04:52,693 --> 01:04:54,493 Speaker 2: as the areas that have been missed in this bill 1400 01:04:54,573 --> 01:04:55,933 Speaker 2: that you think need addressing. 1401 01:04:58,373 --> 01:05:01,293 Speaker 20: I think in terms of the bill itself, there are 1402 01:05:01,453 --> 01:05:05,613 Speaker 20: obviously there's a pretty broad ranging set of things that 1403 01:05:06,093 --> 01:05:08,733 Speaker 20: the bill's looking to amend and I guess tie up 1404 01:05:08,853 --> 01:05:11,533 Speaker 20: some unclear areas within the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act. 1405 01:05:12,253 --> 01:05:15,653 Speaker 20: For us, we're quite keen on seeing a reduction in 1406 01:05:15,773 --> 01:05:20,333 Speaker 20: excise tax on key, specifically as a as a measure 1407 01:05:20,373 --> 01:05:23,693 Speaker 20: that would drive more consumption on premise and obviously support 1408 01:05:23,973 --> 01:05:28,453 Speaker 20: the on premise environment. So that's this bill wouldn't be 1409 01:05:28,573 --> 01:05:30,973 Speaker 20: the right place to do that. But you know, in 1410 01:05:31,093 --> 01:05:33,253 Speaker 20: terms of something that would we think would move the 1411 01:05:33,333 --> 01:05:37,693 Speaker 20: dial towards changing where people choose to consume alcohol, that 1412 01:05:37,813 --> 01:05:40,373 Speaker 20: would be that would be the sort of big ticket 1413 01:05:40,413 --> 01:05:42,893 Speaker 20: item if we could have that discussion. 1414 01:05:43,613 --> 01:05:47,213 Speaker 2: Is anyone floating that kind of idea? Is there any 1415 01:05:47,533 --> 01:05:50,173 Speaker 2: political capital in that area at the moment. 1416 01:05:50,253 --> 01:05:53,453 Speaker 20: Well, if anyone, anyone in general is floating it, obviously 1417 01:05:53,573 --> 01:05:58,493 Speaker 20: Hospitality New Zealanders, along with some of our the Brewers 1418 01:05:58,573 --> 01:06:01,253 Speaker 20: Guild who represent the small craft brewers. 1419 01:06:02,013 --> 01:06:04,093 Speaker 2: Sorry I said that wrong, as anyone obviously you guys 1420 01:06:04,093 --> 01:06:09,413 Speaker 2: are floating it. Anyone noticing that flow and looking to 1421 01:06:09,493 --> 01:06:11,653 Speaker 2: come in from the government to help. 1422 01:06:12,613 --> 01:06:15,573 Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean we're obviously having that discussion with anyone 1423 01:06:15,613 --> 01:06:19,533 Speaker 20: who will lost. We haven't had any political commitments just yet, 1424 01:06:20,853 --> 01:06:24,933 Speaker 20: but you know, obviously something that we see as having 1425 01:06:25,013 --> 01:06:31,413 Speaker 20: some meaningful impact for venues but are relatively low impact 1426 01:06:31,573 --> 01:06:34,213 Speaker 20: change for the government to make to be able to 1427 01:06:34,333 --> 01:06:35,733 Speaker 20: signal their support for the sector. 1428 01:06:36,893 --> 01:06:39,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting stuff, Sam, Thank you very much for having 1429 01:06:39,573 --> 01:06:42,373 Speaker 3: to catch up with us and analyzing that.

Should be treated as such. 1471 01:08:30,173 --> 01:08:32,133 Speaker 2: Well, I guess it is treated as such in that 1472 01:08:32,372 --> 01:08:35,572 Speaker 2: that is heavily regulated. How we can get hold of it? 1473 01:08:35,692 --> 01:08:39,933 Speaker 2: Do you think the greater harm Duffy is in hospitality 1474 01:08:40,213 --> 01:08:41,493 Speaker 2: or in off licenses. 1475 01:08:43,532 --> 01:08:46,972 Speaker 9: Tom is more off licenses, I think where it wasn't 1476 01:08:46,973 --> 01:08:49,333 Speaker 9: available before when they're trying to make it available now, 1477 01:08:49,772 --> 01:08:50,293 Speaker 9: you know what I mean? 1478 01:08:51,133 --> 01:08:53,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I always think it's you know how heavily 1479 01:08:53,293 --> 01:08:56,412 Speaker 2: alcohol is restricted in restaurants and bars, and then I 1480 01:08:56,492 --> 01:08:58,492 Speaker 2: see that someone can just turn up at nine am 1481 01:08:58,572 --> 01:09:02,333 Speaker 2: at a bottlestore and buy twelve one of gin, and 1482 01:09:02,452 --> 01:09:04,772 Speaker 2: I think that's probably I think that's probably where the 1483 01:09:04,812 --> 01:09:07,852 Speaker 2: real damage happens in the community, right, Yeah. 1484 01:09:07,732 --> 01:09:11,053 Speaker 9: For sure, sure, Yeah, cut it out, take it away. Yeah. 1485 01:09:11,492 --> 01:09:14,452 Speaker 9: I mean on the radio the other day where the 1486 01:09:14,532 --> 01:09:16,812 Speaker 9: guys says, yeah, we're all adults, we should be making 1487 01:09:16,812 --> 01:09:18,932 Speaker 9: our own decisions. And I'm all for that too. 1488 01:09:19,612 --> 01:09:22,452 Speaker 3: But it's a return to society as well, isn't it, Duffy. 1489 01:09:22,532 --> 01:09:25,013 Speaker 3: And on the off license is you know what's the 1490 01:09:25,133 --> 01:09:27,572 Speaker 3: argument for the return on society. I suppose it's a business. 1491 01:09:27,612 --> 01:09:30,213 Speaker 3: It's employing a couple of people, and that's probably it, 1492 01:09:30,333 --> 01:09:33,372 Speaker 3: if we're being honest. But the restaurant, for example, I 1493 01:09:33,412 --> 01:09:36,292 Speaker 3: think would have a lot more benefit to general society, 1494 01:09:36,412 --> 01:09:40,333 Speaker 3: not just for employing people, for general well being social connection. 1495 01:09:40,412 --> 01:09:42,253 Speaker 3: There's not much social connection at a bottle store. 1496 01:09:43,213 --> 01:09:46,452 Speaker 9: No, not at all, not at all. Yeah, I'm not 1497 01:09:46,492 --> 01:09:48,732 Speaker 9: sure about the restaurant things. I'm just thinking more along 1498 01:09:48,732 --> 01:09:51,333 Speaker 9: the lines, and they should lessen the availability of it, 1499 01:09:51,412 --> 01:09:51,932 Speaker 9: you know what I mean. 1500 01:09:52,492 --> 01:09:54,572 Speaker 2: Do you drink it all, Duffy? 1501 01:09:55,293 --> 01:09:55,772 Speaker 9: Not at all? 1502 01:09:56,333 --> 01:09:56,772 Speaker 12: Have you? 1503 01:09:56,973 --> 01:10:00,372 Speaker 9: Are you an each dream about fifteen years ago? 1504 01:10:00,732 --> 01:10:02,732 Speaker 2: Yeah? And what led you to giving up? If you 1505 01:10:02,772 --> 01:10:04,213 Speaker 2: don't mind me asking, Duffy. 1506 01:10:04,412 --> 01:10:05,972 Speaker 9: I have for getting over mate. 1507 01:10:07,133 --> 01:10:12,772 Speaker 3: Fear they get tough, they do. Yeah, it wasn't interrupting 1508 01:10:12,812 --> 01:10:14,732 Speaker 3: your life in any way though, Duffy. You just thought, No, 1509 01:10:14,812 --> 01:10:16,052 Speaker 3: I can't be bothered with the hangovers. 1510 01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:16,893 Speaker 2: I just don't need it. 1511 01:10:17,812 --> 01:10:19,333 Speaker 9: Yeah, it can't be bothered with it. There's no point 1512 01:10:19,333 --> 01:10:20,732 Speaker 9: in drinking it, you know what I mean. It's just 1513 01:10:21,812 --> 01:10:22,772 Speaker 9: more trouble than it's worth. 1514 01:10:22,853 --> 01:10:24,013 Speaker 3: Really, would you say that? 1515 01:10:24,612 --> 01:10:27,973 Speaker 2: Because the argument about restricting alcohol is that there are 1516 01:10:28,013 --> 01:10:30,852 Speaker 2: a lot of people that can drink and they behave 1517 01:10:30,933 --> 01:10:34,533 Speaker 2: responsibly and they don't cause any damage to the community. 1518 01:10:35,532 --> 01:10:38,133 Speaker 2: They may cause damage to themselves with their hangovers and such, 1519 01:10:38,652 --> 01:10:42,853 Speaker 2: but that so the restricting, the heavy restriction of alcohol 1520 01:10:43,333 --> 01:10:47,492 Speaker 2: is punishing everyone because some people can't behave. Do you 1521 01:10:47,652 --> 01:10:51,492 Speaker 2: do you agree with that argument at all, Duffy, I kind. 1522 01:10:51,253 --> 01:10:53,652 Speaker 9: Of do, actually, yea. It is punishing everybody, But if 1523 01:10:53,692 --> 01:10:57,252 Speaker 9: you look on the other end, you're wringing the marijuana, 1524 01:10:57,333 --> 01:11:01,852 Speaker 9: for instance, into it. No, that's not marijuana at all either. 1525 01:11:01,933 --> 01:11:05,812 Speaker 9: But you're restricting everybody because some people are bad with it, 1526 01:11:05,853 --> 01:11:06,333 Speaker 9: you know what I mean? 1527 01:11:08,412 --> 01:11:09,772 Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting thought stuff. 1528 01:11:09,772 --> 01:11:11,333 Speaker 3: You thank you very much. Oh e one hundred and 1529 01:11:11,412 --> 01:11:12,893 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty do you agree with? 1530 01:11:13,133 --> 01:11:13,492 Speaker 2: Duffy? 1531 01:11:14,133 --> 01:11:16,253 Speaker 3: Nine two ninety two is the text number as well. 1532 01:11:16,333 --> 01:11:17,333 Speaker 3: Plenty of texts coming. 1533 01:11:17,173 --> 01:11:20,772 Speaker 2: Through the hysterical bleeding from those who believe it is 1534 01:11:20,893 --> 01:11:23,652 Speaker 2: the god given right to complain about everything, especially if 1535 01:11:23,652 --> 01:11:25,492 Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with them, is amusing and 1536 01:11:25,612 --> 01:11:29,333 Speaker 2: ridiculous at the same time, says Chris. These are probably 1537 01:11:29,372 --> 01:11:31,972 Speaker 2: the same people that complained about McDonald's opening in Wanaka. 1538 01:11:32,173 --> 01:11:33,892 Speaker 2: That's not talking about you, Duffy. That was talking about 1539 01:11:33,933 --> 01:11:34,892 Speaker 2: that text I read out before. 1540 01:11:34,933 --> 01:11:37,412 Speaker 3: By the way, Yes, but look, I mean that was 1541 01:11:37,492 --> 01:11:39,652 Speaker 3: a common problem. Clearly, that's why they're changing the law, 1542 01:11:39,692 --> 01:11:42,213 Speaker 3: that you'd have objectives from outside the region saying that 1543 01:11:42,293 --> 01:11:44,492 Speaker 3: you can't open up a restaurant. One I'm torn on 1544 01:11:45,412 --> 01:11:51,973 Speaker 3: is under this proposal that health boards and health organizations 1545 01:11:51,973 --> 01:11:53,772 Speaker 3: won't be able to have a say. And the reason 1546 01:11:53,853 --> 01:11:56,412 Speaker 3: I'm torn on that is that I've never seen a 1547 01:11:56,492 --> 01:12:00,532 Speaker 3: health board say that a new hospitality venue serving booze 1548 01:12:00,572 --> 01:12:02,213 Speaker 3: is a good idea. They always decline it and say 1549 01:12:02,253 --> 01:12:04,053 Speaker 3: it's not good because our er is are full of 1550 01:12:04,093 --> 01:12:06,893 Speaker 3: people who get too boost up. Then you've got the 1551 01:12:07,013 --> 01:12:09,812 Speaker 3: health organizations that are c anti alcohol. They hate it, 1552 01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:13,213 Speaker 3: you know, that's their remit is to stop people drinking booze, 1553 01:12:13,213 --> 01:12:15,852 Speaker 3: and fair Enough too, but again it's always anti And 1554 01:12:15,933 --> 01:12:19,532 Speaker 3: the reason I'm torn is health hospitals in particular, they 1555 01:12:19,612 --> 01:12:22,532 Speaker 3: do have some skin in the game, but those other organizations, 1556 01:12:22,572 --> 01:12:25,253 Speaker 3: I mean, like that's just stamp and stamp in a 1557 01:12:25,333 --> 01:12:27,852 Speaker 3: sheet saying we object. Of course you do, you're anti 1558 01:12:27,893 --> 01:12:29,572 Speaker 3: alcohol and fair enough that's your remitt. 1559 01:12:29,933 --> 01:12:33,452 Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's a bigger picture of that. So, you know, 1560 01:12:33,732 --> 01:12:38,452 Speaker 2: the loneliness epidemic is a huge thing, and so anything 1561 01:12:38,572 --> 01:12:41,732 Speaker 2: we can do to get people out into areas where 1562 01:12:41,732 --> 01:12:44,812 Speaker 2: they're with other New Zealanders interacting with them, such as 1563 01:12:45,133 --> 01:12:49,652 Speaker 2: restaurants and bars, isn't completely bad. There's actually a huge 1564 01:12:49,893 --> 01:12:52,372 Speaker 2: value to that. And you know there's these stats coming 1565 01:12:52,532 --> 01:12:54,692 Speaker 2: back about young people drinking less. And we've talked about 1566 01:12:54,692 --> 01:12:56,972 Speaker 2: this on the show before, but the fact that they're 1567 01:12:57,053 --> 01:12:59,372 Speaker 2: drinking lest isn't necessarily a good thing. If the thing 1568 01:12:59,372 --> 01:13:01,333 Speaker 2: they're choosing to do is just sit in their room 1569 01:13:01,973 --> 01:13:07,093 Speaker 2: doom scrolling, playing video games and watching increasingly horrific adult material, yeah, 1570 01:13:07,173 --> 01:13:09,412 Speaker 2: that's a massive harm on societ. It might be better 1571 01:13:09,492 --> 01:13:11,333 Speaker 2: to actually have them out at a bar where they're 1572 01:13:11,333 --> 01:13:15,293 Speaker 2: being looked after by security and you know, business owners 1573 01:13:15,333 --> 01:13:19,253 Speaker 2: that care about their patrons and meeting other people. As 1574 01:13:19,333 --> 01:13:21,093 Speaker 2: we've talked about before. I mean, I met my lovely 1575 01:13:21,173 --> 01:13:23,253 Speaker 2: partner at a bar. You know me too. They're great 1576 01:13:23,253 --> 01:13:25,492 Speaker 2: places to meet people. Yeah, you know, so it isn't 1577 01:13:25,652 --> 01:13:30,452 Speaker 2: just a zero sum alcohol's evil equation, is it. Yeah? 1578 01:13:31,013 --> 01:13:33,532 Speaker 2: Tell that woman that text and to spend more time 1579 01:13:33,732 --> 01:13:40,092 Speaker 2: having her shaving her armpits. Stupid Wellington hippie, classic greenie, 1580 01:13:40,173 --> 01:13:42,452 Speaker 2: I'd say, but if we're talking about weeds, she would 1581 01:13:42,492 --> 01:13:43,213 Speaker 2: have a different opinion. 1582 01:13:44,213 --> 01:13:46,053 Speaker 3: How do you know that's a fair I didn't get 1583 01:13:46,093 --> 01:13:47,972 Speaker 3: that from that text. I mean that sounded like someone 1584 01:13:47,973 --> 01:13:50,572 Speaker 3: who was quite rats about drinking. 1585 01:13:50,812 --> 01:13:52,133 Speaker 2: No, but I'm just saying, how do you what do 1586 01:13:52,213 --> 01:13:55,612 Speaker 2: you this isn't necessary. We don't know anything about the 1587 01:13:55,652 --> 01:13:56,372 Speaker 2: sex of the text. 1588 01:13:56,652 --> 01:13:56,812 Speaker 16: Yeah. 1589 01:13:57,253 --> 01:14:00,053 Speaker 2: Disgusted if people this is the text here that this 1590 01:14:00,173 --> 01:14:03,492 Speaker 2: person has said needs to shame for her armpets.

Afternoon 1640 01:16:13,492 --> 01:16:15,692 Speaker 1: Squi Goda News Talk said the. 1641 01:16:19,133 --> 01:16:21,253 Speaker 3: Afternoon to you, welcome back into the show. It is 1642 01:16:21,372 --> 01:16:24,933 Speaker 3: seven a past three. So we have been discussing a 1643 01:16:25,013 --> 01:16:27,572 Speaker 3: new bill that's been introduced by the government looking to 1644 01:16:27,732 --> 01:16:32,052 Speaker 3: significantly loosen and modernize alcohol laws. So just briefly, because 1645 01:16:32,053 --> 01:16:35,133 Speaker 3: there's a lot of amendments in that bill, but it 1646 01:16:35,173 --> 01:16:38,133 Speaker 3: would include limits on who can object to license applications, 1647 01:16:38,173 --> 01:16:42,812 Speaker 3: provide more certainty for license renewals, allow clubs and some restaurants. 1648 01:16:42,933 --> 01:16:45,173 Speaker 2: Sorry, so is that you have to live within a 1649 01:16:45,572 --> 01:16:48,132 Speaker 2: one kilometer radius? Is that correct? That is correct? 1650 01:16:48,253 --> 01:16:51,652 Speaker 3: Yeah, or you work for a council in that area, right, 1651 01:16:51,933 --> 01:16:54,412 Speaker 3: So pretty specific, but that I mean some people would 1652 01:16:54,412 --> 01:16:55,612 Speaker 3: say that makes a lot of sense if you're not 1653 01:16:55,692 --> 01:16:57,052 Speaker 3: in the town, don't complain. 1654 01:16:57,372 --> 01:16:58,772 Speaker 2: So do you get out there? You get out the 1655 01:16:58,933 --> 01:17:00,772 Speaker 2: compass and you do a little circle and you go, 1656 01:17:00,933 --> 01:17:02,532 Speaker 2: oh no, I think on one. 1657 01:17:02,452 --> 01:17:03,812 Speaker 3: Foot out, Yeah, I think you have to walk in 1658 01:17:03,893 --> 01:17:06,412 Speaker 3: and say how close am I to this place? And 1659 01:17:06,572 --> 01:17:08,732 Speaker 3: it would also make it easy to host events, extend 1660 01:17:08,732 --> 01:17:12,333 Speaker 3: trading now is for more major televised events and allow 1661 01:17:12,692 --> 01:17:15,972 Speaker 3: places like he addresses barbers to have a little booze 1662 01:17:16,452 --> 01:17:18,372 Speaker 3: offered if you need it. But we did have a 1663 01:17:18,492 --> 01:17:21,772 Speaker 3: chat to hospitality in New Zealand's Sam McKinnon earlier and 1664 01:17:21,812 --> 01:17:23,213 Speaker 3: here's a little bit of what he had to say. 1665 01:17:23,452 --> 01:17:25,093 Speaker 20: In terms of the day to day's stuff. I think 1666 01:17:25,133 --> 01:17:30,612 Speaker 20: the zero alcohol product provisions are especially helpful. So currently 1667 01:17:31,253 --> 01:17:33,412 Speaker 20: you have to provide low alcohol beverages which kind of 1668 01:17:33,492 --> 01:17:35,572 Speaker 20: your mid strength two and a half percent, and you 1669 01:17:35,692 --> 01:17:38,213 Speaker 20: have to provide no alcohol beverages, so your soft drinks 1670 01:17:38,253 --> 01:17:40,652 Speaker 20: and water, but zero percent beer kind of falls into 1671 01:17:40,732 --> 01:17:45,293 Speaker 20: that gray area, I guess. And so the new rules 1672 01:17:45,372 --> 01:17:47,173 Speaker 20: mean that you'll be able to serve your zero percent 1673 01:17:47,253 --> 01:17:50,452 Speaker 20: and satisfy that low alcohol provision product. And obviously we 1674 01:17:50,572 --> 01:17:52,812 Speaker 20: know that that's become a massive consumer trend. 1675 01:17:53,812 --> 01:17:55,572 Speaker 3: So that makes a lot of sense when it comes 1676 01:17:55,652 --> 01:17:58,772 Speaker 3: to the zero alcohol situation. I mean, it just seems 1677 01:17:58,812 --> 01:18:00,372 Speaker 3: like common sense. But what do you say, Oh, one 1678 01:18:00,452 --> 01:18:02,253 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number to call. 1679 01:18:02,213 --> 01:18:05,173 Speaker 2: Whenever I hear the zerok thing I'm trying to I've 1680 01:18:05,213 --> 01:18:06,692 Speaker 2: heard the answer to it, but someone might be able 1681 01:18:06,692 --> 01:18:08,492 Speaker 2: to help me out on nine two nine two, one 1682 01:18:08,532 --> 01:18:10,772 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty. But why is it that 1683 01:18:11,013 --> 01:18:14,452 Speaker 2: zero called beer costs the same pretty much the same 1684 01:18:14,692 --> 01:18:17,412 Speaker 2: as fall alcohol beer when they're not paying excise tax 1685 01:18:17,492 --> 01:18:17,652 Speaker 2: on it. 1686 01:18:17,973 --> 01:18:20,333 Speaker 3: It's a good question nine two ninety two if you're 1687 01:18:20,372 --> 01:18:22,772 Speaker 3: in the business, love to hear from you now. 1688 01:18:22,772 --> 01:18:26,692 Speaker 2: Before we go to tiny.

Yeah, and then you and a text, Tyler, 1690 01:18:30,893 --> 01:18:33,253 Speaker 2: You and a text both assumed it was a woman, yeah, 1691 01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:36,372 Speaker 2: and estentially misgendered. And I said that was sexist. You 1692 01:18:36,492 --> 01:18:39,892 Speaker 2: did because you because you both took a negative approach 1693 01:18:40,013 --> 01:18:42,852 Speaker 2: to that text. And then you assumed it a woman, 1694 01:18:43,173 --> 01:18:45,173 Speaker 2: which sugguced to me that both you that you and 1695 01:18:45,213 --> 01:18:48,053 Speaker 2: the text of hate woman, and you're a misogynist. 1696 01:18:49,372 --> 01:18:52,213 Speaker 3: It's some every readings, there's some so we've heard between 1697 01:18:52,213 --> 01:18:52,492 Speaker 3: the lines. 1698 01:18:52,532 --> 01:18:55,412 Speaker 2: We've heard back from this texture.

If people like myself believe 1703 01:19:08,412 --> 01:19:11,532 Speaker 2: that alcohol is a great and evil harm to the country, 1704 01:19:11,612 --> 01:19:13,572 Speaker 2: I should be able to oppose it wherever it is sold. 1705 01:19:13,893 --> 01:19:16,173 Speaker 2: I live in central Wellingon.

So yes, I 1707 01:19:19,492 --> 01:19:22,053 Speaker 2: should be able to oppose a pub in Otago. The 1708 01:19:22,173 --> 01:19:24,973 Speaker 2: evil is the same wherever it is. This is not 1709 01:19:25,133 --> 01:19:27,612 Speaker 2: North Korea. I should be able to complain from wherever 1710 01:19:27,772 --> 01:19:29,572 Speaker 2: I live in New Zealand.

Matt Armpit comments, 1719 01:19:51,133 --> 01:19:54,213 Speaker 2: Really is this in the nineteen eighties? That wasn't me. 1720 01:19:54,933 --> 01:19:56,372 Speaker 3: You're a voice of reason, Matt. 1721 01:19:56,532 --> 01:19:59,532 Speaker 2: Thanks for sticking up for me for it's the reason. Wow. 1722 01:19:59,893 --> 01:20:02,012 Speaker 3: Good on you, mate, Good on you forgetting that text. 1723 01:20:02,293 --> 01:20:04,053 Speaker 3: And can I just say it was a flip of 1724 01:20:04,093 --> 01:20:06,333 Speaker 3: the coin and I happened to get it right, nothing 1725 01:20:06,372 --> 01:20:06,572 Speaker 3: in it. 1726 01:20:07,452 --> 01:20:10,892 Speaker 2: I just took a guess, took a stab Tony. Welcome 1727 01:20:10,933 --> 01:20:14,412 Speaker 2: the show. Yeah, here you go, good things mate. 1728 01:20:15,772 --> 01:20:19,333 Speaker 14: Okay, well this is the problem I reckon. The problem 1729 01:20:19,412 --> 01:20:22,492 Speaker 14: was we should be able to have alcohol, we should 1730 01:20:22,492 --> 01:20:24,932 Speaker 14: be able to go like homego, and should be saw 1731 01:20:25,013 --> 01:20:26,812 Speaker 14: down on wanting to. But it was stopped because they 1732 01:20:26,853 --> 01:20:30,852 Speaker 14: wanted to grow and the council wanted to reduce the 1733 01:20:30,973 --> 01:20:34,333 Speaker 14: alcohol sales. That's what I heard. Open right, that sounds 1734 01:20:34,692 --> 01:20:36,572 Speaker 14: what's something that the council would do, and the police 1735 01:20:36,572 --> 01:20:38,173 Speaker 14: back it because they're trying to stop it as well. 1736 01:20:39,133 --> 01:20:40,852 Speaker 14: The thing that's what gets me is, you know, you 1737 01:20:41,532 --> 01:20:44,133 Speaker 14: open up the bottle shops and the bars to eighteen 1738 01:20:44,173 --> 01:20:50,532 Speaker 14: year olds with no no experience. They done and said, no, 1739 01:20:50,652 --> 01:20:51,893 Speaker 14: you're not going to the botle shop. You can go 1740 01:20:51,973 --> 01:20:53,532 Speaker 14: in a pub and you can buy beer. We're gonna 1741 01:20:53,532 --> 01:20:54,732 Speaker 14: put a band on you. We're gonna watch you and 1742 01:20:54,732 --> 01:20:57,612 Speaker 14: watch you've had too much. That's what they let them 1743 01:20:57,692 --> 01:20:59,732 Speaker 14: out there. And my daughter's one and I was one 1744 01:20:59,812 --> 01:21:01,772 Speaker 14: two and they get hamed. 1745 01:21:02,452 --> 01:21:03,493 Speaker 5: Yeah, they got. 1746 01:21:04,853 --> 01:21:05,532 Speaker 2: A really good idea. 1747 01:21:05,612 --> 01:21:07,972 Speaker 3: So what you're effectively saying is once you're at eighteen, 1748 01:21:08,333 --> 01:21:10,133 Speaker 3: you're allowed to go drink at a bar or a 1749 01:21:10,293 --> 01:21:13,492 Speaker 3: restaurant where there's rules and you know, responsibility in place, 1750 01:21:13,692 --> 01:21:15,772 Speaker 3: but you can't buy from a liquor store until you're 1751 01:21:15,772 --> 01:21:16,133 Speaker 3: twenty one. 1752 01:21:16,173 --> 01:21:19,372 Speaker 14: I like that idea, and this is what gets me 1753 01:21:19,532 --> 01:21:23,093 Speaker 14: of governments, labor, national, all of them. I just we've 1754 01:21:23,133 --> 01:21:26,653 Speaker 14: got people in there haven't even lived. They just career politicians. 1755 01:21:26,692 --> 01:21:28,732 Speaker 14: They've got no idea. I've never been probably half we've 1756 01:21:28,772 --> 01:21:31,772 Speaker 14: any been out of the country. You know, Yes, I've 1757 01:21:31,772 --> 01:21:34,412 Speaker 14: spent six seven years in London, and you know that's right. 1758 01:21:35,293 --> 01:21:38,412 Speaker 14: I mean, you've got to give you just to open 1759 01:21:38,452 --> 01:21:41,333 Speaker 14: the floodgate to go here you go, oh, three years later, 1760 01:21:41,412 --> 01:21:44,093 Speaker 14: we'll go a drinking problem in New Zealand. Peace to 1761 01:21:44,133 --> 01:21:47,013 Speaker 14: run around ruddy homes where people betting the shit out 1762 01:21:47,013 --> 01:21:49,812 Speaker 14: of each other. You know, you've really got to educate 1763 01:21:49,933 --> 01:21:51,412 Speaker 14: people and get them in there and get them in 1764 01:21:51,412 --> 01:21:52,092 Speaker 14: a good environment. 1765 01:21:53,133 --> 01:21:55,692 Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for you call Tony interesting idea. I mean, 1766 01:21:55,732 --> 01:21:58,013 Speaker 3: I can I see the logic of what Tony's saying there, 1767 01:21:58,053 --> 01:22:02,213 Speaker 3: But instantly I'm thinking about the university students. I mean, yes, 1768 01:22:03,013 --> 01:22:04,333 Speaker 3: eighteen year olds can get themselves. 1769 01:22:04,372 --> 01:22:06,213 Speaker 2: We're in trouble with booze. I can get myself in 1770 01:22:06,253 --> 01:22:06,972 Speaker 2: trouble with booze. 1771 01:22:07,013 --> 01:22:12,133 Speaker 3: But isn't that part of learning how to drink responsibly 1772 01:22:12,492 --> 01:22:14,732 Speaker 3: and take in responsibility for your actions. 1773 01:22:14,893 --> 01:22:16,612 Speaker 2: Is that that is the law that we have. 1774 01:22:16,772 --> 01:22:19,053 Speaker 3: At eighteen, you're old enough to drink, you're old enough 1775 01:22:19,093 --> 01:22:21,293 Speaker 3: to do a whole bunch of things. And to say 1776 01:22:21,412 --> 01:22:24,652 Speaker 3: you can only go to a restaurant or a bar 1777 01:22:24,812 --> 01:22:27,093 Speaker 3: and drink, but you can't ever have it at home 1778 01:22:27,213 --> 01:22:28,293 Speaker 3: or with your friends. 1779 01:22:28,412 --> 01:22:31,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I guess the argument would be, you're treating 1780 01:22:31,293 --> 01:22:33,572 Speaker 2: the two places exactly the same. So you're treating an 1781 01:22:33,572 --> 01:22:36,052 Speaker 2: offline since when people can go home and drink whatever 1782 01:22:36,133 --> 01:22:40,253 Speaker 2: they want from the age of eighteen with absolutely no oversight, right, 1783 01:22:40,692 --> 01:22:43,492 Speaker 2: and so you're charging the same amount of exercise tax 1784 01:22:43,572 --> 01:22:46,532 Speaker 2: on them as the other people that you can regulate. 1785 01:22:47,372 --> 01:22:51,893 Speaker 2: And so you put all these massive restrictions on hospitality 1786 01:22:52,173 --> 01:22:57,253 Speaker 2: restaurants and bars such that they can't serve intoxicated people 1787 01:22:57,293 --> 01:23:00,972 Speaker 2: and have to oversee that which they do, that they'll 1788 01:23:01,053 --> 01:23:07,372 Speaker 2: provide security, they're hiring people, they're building establishments, they're good 1789 01:23:07,452 --> 01:23:10,213 Speaker 2: in the community of social harm. But you're both being 1790 01:23:10,293 --> 01:23:13,932 Speaker 2: treated the same. So I just I think that there's 1791 01:23:13,973 --> 01:23:17,092 Speaker 2: no doubt that in my mind anyway, that the biggest 1792 01:23:17,133 --> 01:23:22,412 Speaker 2: social harm comes from from off licenses and people taking 1793 01:23:22,492 --> 01:23:26,692 Speaker 2: alcohol home. Right, So it just feels like they should 1794 01:23:26,692 --> 01:23:29,412 Speaker 2: be treated differently. The hospo should be treated with kid 1795 01:23:29,452 --> 01:23:33,213 Speaker 2: gloves and helped and encouraged and such that more people 1796 01:23:33,412 --> 01:23:36,772 Speaker 2: consume their alcohol there than slamming on one, one, two 1797 01:23:36,853 --> 01:23:38,333 Speaker 2: five at home before breakfast. 1798 01:23:38,692 --> 01:23:42,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I can see the hospitality gets blamed for, 1799 01:23:42,812 --> 01:23:44,893 Speaker 3: you know, alcohol harm in this country, and that is 1800 01:23:45,053 --> 01:23:47,732 Speaker 3: unfair because they are arguably doing a whole lot more 1801 01:23:48,612 --> 01:23:50,372 Speaker 3: than the bottle stores who just lead you to take 1802 01:23:50,412 --> 01:23:52,213 Speaker 3: how much, however much you want home? But what do 1803 01:23:52,293 --> 01:23:54,333 Speaker 3: you say, Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is 1804 01:23:54,412 --> 01:23:57,173 Speaker 3: the number to call? Nine two ninety two is the text. 1805 01:23:57,732 --> 01:24:00,173 Speaker 2: So that this is the reason I always forget about 1806 01:24:00,173 --> 01:24:05,093 Speaker 2: why is zero percent alcohol is still expensive because as 1807 01:24:05,173 --> 01:24:07,812 Speaker 2: a bunch of people are texting in it, it's it's 1808 01:24:07,973 --> 01:24:11,093 Speaker 2: a breath COMPLICATEX process to remove the alcohol. So you 1809 01:24:11,173 --> 01:24:13,692 Speaker 2: have to have the alcohol in the beer otherwise it 1810 01:24:13,772 --> 01:24:15,612 Speaker 2: tastes weird because you've got to turn it into beer, 1811 01:24:15,732 --> 01:24:18,333 Speaker 2: right right, So it has to go through that process. 1812 01:24:18,812 --> 01:24:20,372 Speaker 2: But then you have to remove the alcohol, which is 1813 01:24:20,372 --> 01:24:23,013 Speaker 2: a really expensive process. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah, I 1814 01:24:23,053 --> 01:24:24,572 Speaker 2: think that solves it. And what do they do with 1815 01:24:24,652 --> 01:24:25,132 Speaker 2: that alcohol? 1816 01:24:26,692 --> 01:24:26,772 Speaker 5: Oh? 1817 01:24:26,812 --> 01:24:28,133 Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty ten eighty. 1818 01:24:28,133 --> 01:24:30,852 Speaker 3: If you're in a hospitality, how do you feel about 1819 01:24:30,893 --> 01:24:32,772 Speaker 3: these changes come in? Is that going to make life 1820 01:24:32,893 --> 01:24:36,053 Speaker 3: easier for you? Share your view? It is quarter past three, 1821 01:24:36,372 --> 01:24:40,173 Speaker 3: used TALKSB news dogs THEREB. It is eighteen past three. 1822 01:24:40,412 --> 01:24:42,293 Speaker 2: Hey, I want to get onto the next topic, which 1823 01:24:42,333 --> 01:24:44,972 Speaker 2: you'll announce very soon, Tyler. So I just thought i'd 1824 01:24:45,013 --> 01:24:47,452 Speaker 2: mop this one up with a few texts. 1825 01:24:47,532 --> 01:24:48,053 Speaker 3: Okay, yep. 1826 01:24:48,973 --> 01:24:50,812 Speaker 2: So this text says, I think it would be interesting 1827 01:24:50,893 --> 01:24:53,052 Speaker 2: to see the demographic of the people who are actually 1828 01:24:53,093 --> 01:24:55,812 Speaker 2: opposing these drinking or alcohol lick a license's laws, because 1829 01:24:55,853 --> 01:24:58,253 Speaker 2: it is easy to ban drinking and ban all these 1830 01:24:58,293 --> 01:25:00,772 Speaker 2: things to promote sensible drinking. When you are settled in 1831 01:25:01,253 --> 01:25:04,173 Speaker 2: and or you've met your partner and you're in a 1832 01:25:04,213 --> 01:25:06,412 Speaker 2: different stage in your life, it is easier to aggressively 1833 01:25:06,412 --> 01:25:10,052 Speaker 2: oppose these acts because they don't affect you individually anymore 1834 01:25:10,213 --> 01:25:12,732 Speaker 2: or directly. But you can't expect young people to not 1835 01:25:13,492 --> 01:25:16,452 Speaker 2: avail of alcohol. And yes it does. The does the 1836 01:25:16,572 --> 01:25:18,772 Speaker 2: fine line between how damaging it can be at the 1837 01:25:18,812 --> 01:25:21,253 Speaker 2: same time, you can't just completely block it for everyone. 1838 01:25:21,572 --> 01:25:24,173 Speaker 2: So under the age of people who are opposing versus 1839 01:25:24,213 --> 01:25:26,372 Speaker 2: the people who aren't. And that's a really good question 1840 01:25:26,492 --> 01:25:28,333 Speaker 2: because a lot of a lot of what happens to 1841 01:25:28,452 --> 01:25:30,293 Speaker 2: society is you've had your fun. You know, you want 1842 01:25:30,293 --> 01:25:32,972 Speaker 2: to shut it down because you're worried about the dangers 1843 01:25:33,013 --> 01:25:35,772 Speaker 2: that causes. But that's after you've met your lovely partner 1844 01:25:35,853 --> 01:25:39,132 Speaker 2: and you're all shacked up and you're a bit tireder 1845 01:25:39,492 --> 01:25:41,812 Speaker 2: and the hangovers hurt too much for your drinks. Like, 1846 01:25:42,173 --> 01:25:45,452 Speaker 2: let's shut it down because I don't like that, you know, 1847 01:25:46,053 --> 01:25:47,852 Speaker 2: that anarchy in my neighborhood. 1848 01:25:47,372 --> 01:25:48,852 Speaker 3: Or what I like you kids doing what I did. 1849 01:25:49,093 --> 01:25:50,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's so much, just so much of 1850 01:25:51,053 --> 01:25:53,093 Speaker 2: that there is, and you can see it happening. Yeah. 1851 01:25:53,652 --> 01:25:55,333 Speaker 2: It was like me the other day talking about shopping 1852 01:25:55,372 --> 01:25:59,213 Speaker 2: trolleys and how disgusted I was that people leave shopping 1853 01:25:59,253 --> 01:26:01,253 Speaker 2: trolleys on burms. And then someone point out in a 1854 01:26:01,333 --> 01:26:03,412 Speaker 2: TV show, I've seen you writing a shopping trolley down 1855 01:26:03,452 --> 01:26:06,452 Speaker 2: a hell the stunt. Yeah, you know, boys, what do 1856 01:26:06,572 --> 01:26:10,452 Speaker 2: you call someone professing that this isn't North Korea? Meanwhile, 1857 01:26:10,532 --> 01:26:12,452 Speaker 2: proceeding to state no one in the country should be 1858 01:26:12,452 --> 01:26:16,613 Speaker 2: able to drink alcohol just because they think it's evil, narcissist, unbelievable, 1859 01:26:16,652 --> 01:26:18,972 Speaker 2: no self awareness. There good to call that out. That's 1860 01:26:19,053 --> 01:26:21,572 Speaker 2: from he and hey fellers, love your show. There is 1861 01:26:21,612 --> 01:26:24,213 Speaker 2: no way I would ever pay for a zero coal beer. 1862 01:26:24,293 --> 01:26:27,892 Speaker 2: It's ridiculous the price. If I'm not drinking, I'm gonna 1863 01:26:27,893 --> 01:26:29,732 Speaker 2: have a water or a coach here's mark. See. The 1864 01:26:29,812 --> 01:26:32,333 Speaker 2: thing about a zero alcohol beer, though, is if you're 1865 01:26:32,372 --> 01:26:35,933 Speaker 2: not drinking. In New Zealand with such a drinking society, 1866 01:26:36,452 --> 01:26:39,213 Speaker 2: that it causes a lot of social anxiety at the 1867 01:26:39,253 --> 01:26:42,013 Speaker 2: table and a lot of questions if you if you 1868 01:26:42,173 --> 01:26:45,652 Speaker 2: rock up with orange juice, yeah, you know. So a 1869 01:26:45,692 --> 01:26:47,852 Speaker 2: lot of the reason why people drink zero alcohol beers 1870 01:26:48,412 --> 01:26:50,612 Speaker 2: is just so they're drinking a beer and no one 1871 01:26:50,652 --> 01:26:51,333 Speaker 2: freaks out right. 1872 01:26:51,333 --> 01:26:53,093 Speaker 3: Yep, and you hide the labels so nobody knows that 1873 01:26:53,253 --> 01:26:53,732 Speaker 3: zero percent. 1874 01:26:53,853 --> 01:26:55,412 Speaker 2: The text says, my opinion is that if you don't 1875 01:26:55,492 --> 01:26:57,893 Speaker 2: vote in the area and you have no then you 1876 01:26:58,053 --> 01:26:59,972 Speaker 2: have no say in what goes on in that area 1877 01:27:00,133 --> 01:27:02,173 Speaker 2: or what the local council or councilors decide. 1878 01:27:02,372 --> 01:27:05,372 Speaker 3: Okay, right, fair enough, haha. 1879 01:27:05,572 --> 01:27:08,532 Speaker 2: Business owners caring about patrons, patrons, they couldn't of a 1880 01:27:08,652 --> 01:27:12,052 Speaker 2: toss some of them during COVID they were complete tosses. Yes, 1881 01:27:12,612 --> 01:27:15,333 Speaker 2: years of giving them custom, then treated like pariahs. Prefers 1882 01:27:15,412 --> 01:27:17,412 Speaker 2: stay at home with my friends and their homes. 1883 01:27:17,492 --> 01:27:17,612 Speaker 6: Now. 1884 01:27:17,652 --> 01:27:20,652 Speaker 2: Community can be real a holes these days.

And places that 1894 01:27:42,612 --> 01:27:45,012 Speaker 2: don't care about their patrons don't last very long. Yeah, 1895 01:27:45,093 --> 01:27:45,492 Speaker 2: spot on. 1896 01:27:46,253 --> 01:27:48,812 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for all those ticks, and appreciate 1897 01:27:48,853 --> 01:27:51,412 Speaker 3: your phone call as well. So we'll see what happens 1898 01:27:51,692 --> 01:27:53,732 Speaker 3: with those proposals. But it seems like I've got a 1899 01:27:53,772 --> 01:27:57,772 Speaker 3: big tick from most people in hospitality and the alcohol industry. 1900 01:27:58,093 --> 01:28:00,053 Speaker 2: Coming up after we. 1901 01:28:00,133 --> 01:28:03,173 Speaker 3: Play some messages, we won't ever talk about a new 1902 01:28:03,253 --> 01:28:05,732 Speaker 3: report by m Fact so it shows more than seventy 1903 01:28:05,732 --> 01:28:09,173 Speaker 3: New Zealanders are currently imprisoned overseas. Officialill say the true 1904 01:28:09,253 --> 01:28:12,452 Speaker 3: number is likely higher because some people do not notify 1905 01:28:12,772 --> 01:28:15,732 Speaker 3: the government here when they get arrested. The cases evolve 1906 01:28:15,812 --> 01:28:19,012 Speaker 3: key We's jailed across multiple different countries for a range 1907 01:28:19,013 --> 01:28:21,652 Speaker 3: of offenses, including some of the more serious one drug 1908 01:28:21,732 --> 01:28:24,532 Speaker 3: related crimes and other charges. But the question I've got 1909 01:28:24,572 --> 01:28:27,732 Speaker 3: for you is, have you ever got into trouble while 1910 01:28:27,812 --> 01:28:31,412 Speaker 3: traveling abroad? Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is that 1911 01:28:31,572 --> 01:28:33,572 Speaker 3: number to call if you came close to being arrested, 1912 01:28:33,612 --> 01:28:36,732 Speaker 3: if you did spend some time in a slammer in 1913 01:28:36,893 --> 01:28:37,972 Speaker 3: a far flung country. 1914 01:28:38,333 --> 01:28:42,132 Speaker 2: It's everyone's greatest fear when you go to countries that's 1915 01:28:42,732 --> 01:28:45,572 Speaker 2: you know, third world countries where for example, where their 1916 01:28:46,133 --> 01:28:49,932 Speaker 2: prison system isn't as friendly as our one here is. Yep. 1917 01:28:50,532 --> 01:28:52,053 Speaker 2: Not to say that I'd like to end up in 1918 01:28:52,093 --> 01:28:54,253 Speaker 2: prison here, but it doesn't sound like a good time, 1919 01:28:54,333 --> 01:28:56,173 Speaker 2: to be fair. But there's worse places in the world 1920 01:28:56,213 --> 01:28:57,772 Speaker 2: to be in prison than here. So it's one of 1921 01:28:57,772 --> 01:29:00,452 Speaker 2: those things when you go overseas where you maybe think that, 1922 01:29:00,893 --> 01:29:04,452 Speaker 2: I mean makes sense to behave in another country. Yes 1923 01:29:04,572 --> 01:29:06,492 Speaker 2: it does. Yeah, you do definitely don't want to be 1924 01:29:06,492 --> 01:29:09,093 Speaker 2: in a midnight express situation.

Maybe, hey, boys. Back in the late nineties, 1983 01:31:53,213 --> 01:31:55,972 Speaker 2: I was living and working in Moscow, says this Texter John. 1984 01:31:56,372 --> 01:32:01,053 Speaker 2: As a foreigner, I was regularly stopped by police for 1985 01:32:01,372 --> 01:32:03,852 Speaker 2: a document check, and we were required to carry what 1986 01:32:04,173 --> 01:32:07,812 Speaker 2: was essentially an internal passport. One afternoon, myself in a 1987 01:32:07,893 --> 01:32:11,692 Speaker 2: key colleague popped up onto the street from one on 1988 01:32:11,853 --> 01:32:15,052 Speaker 2: the underground track from one of the underground train stations 1989 01:32:15,492 --> 01:32:17,852 Speaker 2: we were heading to a market when we were stopped 1990 01:32:17,853 --> 01:32:20,013 Speaker 2: by the police for one of those document checks. The 1991 01:32:20,093 --> 01:32:22,492 Speaker 2: outcome as my mate had forgotten his documents and they 1992 01:32:22,532 --> 01:32:25,053 Speaker 2: didn't believe mine were legit, so we were bundled into 1993 01:32:25,093 --> 01:32:27,372 Speaker 2: a police van and driven off to the local police station. 1994 01:32:27,492 --> 01:32:30,652 Speaker 2: Man that would be scary. Without any registration, name check 1995 01:32:30,732 --> 01:32:33,772 Speaker 2: or opportunity for a bribe, a common practice with Russian police, 1996 01:32:34,093 --> 01:32:36,892 Speaker 2: we were taken straight to the cells and pushed into 1997 01:32:36,893 --> 01:32:39,412 Speaker 2: a three meter by three meter cell with about fifteen 1998 01:32:39,492 --> 01:32:42,972 Speaker 2: other guys in locked up. If anything I know about 1999 01:32:43,053 --> 01:32:46,452 Speaker 2: the Russian criminals, they're terrifying. But I'm getting that money 2000 01:32:46,492 --> 01:32:50,093 Speaker 2: from the Equaloser movies and the John Wick movies. All 2001 01:32:50,173 --> 01:32:52,732 Speaker 2: in all quite surreal. It was like something out of 2002 01:32:52,812 --> 01:32:54,892 Speaker 2: a movie and the guard walking up and down, running 2003 01:32:54,933 --> 01:32:57,013 Speaker 2: his keys along the bars of the cell well at 2004 01:32:57,013 --> 01:32:58,893 Speaker 2: the same time checking who was in the cell and 2005 01:32:58,973 --> 01:33:02,093 Speaker 2: asking questions. There were three guys from Blangladesh and he 2006 01:33:02,173 --> 01:33:05,052 Speaker 2: asked if they had a ridden their elephant to Russia. 2007 01:33:05,412 --> 01:33:07,932 Speaker 2: He asked where we were from, and when we said 2008 01:33:07,973 --> 01:33:10,133 Speaker 2: New zeal And, he asked if we had any anchor 2009 01:33:10,213 --> 01:33:12,732 Speaker 2: butter a well known you seal brand and Russia at 2010 01:33:12,732 --> 01:33:15,732 Speaker 2: the time. Anyway, after about three hours we were let out, 2011 01:33:15,812 --> 01:33:18,093 Speaker 2: no charge, nothing, all very bizarre, but they were just 2012 01:33:18,173 --> 01:33:22,933 Speaker 2: teaching some stupid foreigners a lesson. Cheers John, That's terrifying. 2013 01:33:23,013 --> 01:33:25,213 Speaker 3: I mean, if you ever go to Russia, maybe pack 2014 01:33:25,333 --> 01:33:26,892 Speaker 3: some anchor butter with you just in cage. 2015 01:33:26,933 --> 01:33:29,013 Speaker 2: It sounds like a good bride option. That would be 2016 01:33:29,133 --> 01:33:32,253 Speaker 2: a long three hours and a three x three meter 2017 01:33:32,452 --> 01:33:35,812 Speaker 2: cell in Russia with fifteen other guys.

You're not actually directly 2124 01:38:29,973 --> 01:38:33,293 Speaker 2: saying you're bribing, So you're not really committing another crime 2125 01:38:33,772 --> 01:38:37,412 Speaker 2: and you're giving the police officer or then whoever is 2126 01:38:38,412 --> 01:38:42,372 Speaker 2: resting you and out.

And then if there's two cops, 2136 01:39:10,973 --> 01:39:12,293 Speaker 3: he goes and talks to his mate and say, hey, 2137 01:39:12,333 --> 01:39:13,852 Speaker 3: this foreigner wants to pay an instant fine. 2138 01:39:14,013 --> 01:39:17,012 Speaker 2: How much would we charge him?

I was doing some work some 2149 01:39:48,692 --> 01:39:52,133 Speaker 5: car guys and ended up in Modern and on the 2150 01:39:52,173 --> 01:39:56,572 Speaker 5: way back I had to drive with the owner and 2151 01:39:56,732 --> 01:40:00,852 Speaker 5: Aston Martin vi advantage, and you know, we ended up 2152 01:40:00,893 --> 01:40:04,692 Speaker 5: heading towards Switzerland to pick up some stuff and going 2153 01:40:04,772 --> 01:40:06,133 Speaker 5: up to the mon Blanc and it's a bit of 2154 01:40:06,133 --> 01:40:07,772 Speaker 5: a sort of a road going up there. In a 2155 01:40:07,812 --> 01:40:11,452 Speaker 5: bit of a switch facts of the scenario. Anyhow, he says, 2156 01:40:11,492 --> 01:40:15,532 Speaker 5: go and give it some So I did and gave 2157 01:40:15,572 --> 01:40:19,812 Speaker 5: it plenty. So anyhow, unfortunately, well neither of us knew. 2158 01:40:20,372 --> 01:40:22,333 Speaker 5: Right at the top of the hill he was the 2159 01:40:22,412 --> 01:40:27,652 Speaker 5: local consabatary and they stopped us and jumped out in 2160 01:40:27,692 --> 01:40:29,412 Speaker 5: front of us, and I got pulled out of the 2161 01:40:29,492 --> 01:40:32,372 Speaker 5: car and cuffed straight away and faced down on the 2162 01:40:32,412 --> 01:40:37,572 Speaker 5: bonnet spread. Who was the owner of this particular car. 2163 01:40:38,133 --> 01:40:40,213 Speaker 5: It was a pretty loud mouse. He would have probably 2164 01:40:40,253 --> 01:40:45,452 Speaker 5: been late twenties at the time. I guess pretty come 2165 01:40:45,492 --> 01:40:49,692 Speaker 5: from a wealthy English background, Yobo, I guess you could 2166 01:40:49,732 --> 01:40:53,293 Speaker 5: pull them. And so anyhow, he started to turn around 2167 01:40:53,333 --> 01:40:57,173 Speaker 5: and try and bribe these guys, these police. Not a 2168 01:40:57,213 --> 01:41:02,732 Speaker 5: great idea really that the next situation was he then 2169 01:41:02,772 --> 01:41:06,053 Speaker 5: turned around and started arguing, and I was flew into 2170 01:41:06,692 --> 01:41:09,092 Speaker 5: you know, I had a little bit of the French, certainly, 2171 01:41:09,133 --> 01:41:12,932 Speaker 5: not Italian or German, but he started arguing in every 2172 01:41:12,973 --> 01:41:16,852 Speaker 5: single language that he could he could get hold of. Yeah, 2173 01:41:16,893 --> 01:41:20,892 Speaker 5: long story short, we ended up inside for a couple 2174 01:41:20,933 --> 01:41:23,692 Speaker 5: of days, for three nights, I think I sent in 2175 01:41:23,732 --> 01:41:26,652 Speaker 5: there and and to this day I still don't know 2176 01:41:26,812 --> 01:41:30,012 Speaker 5: quite what happened how he got out, but his lawyer 2177 01:41:30,213 --> 01:41:35,093 Speaker 5: flew over and did some deal and the next thing 2178 01:41:35,213 --> 01:41:35,932 Speaker 5: we were on our way. 2179 01:41:36,372 --> 01:41:39,293 Speaker 2: So so you were included. So obviously, as you say, 2180 01:41:39,333 --> 01:41:41,372 Speaker 2: this guy has got a bit of money, a bit 2181 01:41:41,452 --> 01:41:45,133 Speaker 2: of a bit of a posh feller and over. But 2182 01:41:45,333 --> 01:41:47,372 Speaker 2: but threw you in on the mix, thankfully in terms 2183 01:41:47,412 --> 01:41:47,973 Speaker 2: of the trying to. 2184 01:41:47,973 --> 01:41:50,053 Speaker 5: Get out, Yeah, that was part of the deal. 2185 01:41:50,173 --> 01:41:53,772 Speaker 3: So really it sounded like Fred He was yappy and 2186 01:41:53,853 --> 01:41:55,692 Speaker 3: then and then he got you into stripe by trying 2187 01:41:55,692 --> 01:41:58,092 Speaker 3: to bribe Italian police officers at the least. 2188 01:41:57,893 --> 01:41:58,213 Speaker 2: He could do. 2189 01:41:59,612 --> 01:42:02,893 Speaker 5: Absolutely.
