Speaker 2: Yeah, So yesterday, if you were listening, you may have

27
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:35,533
Speaker 2: heard a little incident that went down in the studio

28
00:01:35,853 --> 00:01:40,093
Speaker 2: around Let's face it, me spilling my coffee everywhere into

29
00:01:40,093 --> 00:01:44,453
Speaker 2: the electronics and starch. And look. I made it quite

30
00:01:44,493 --> 00:01:47,253
Speaker 2: clear to listeners of news talks'd be that this was

31
00:01:47,253 --> 00:01:50,453
Speaker 2: a kind of silence and that Mike Costking didn't need

32
00:01:50,493 --> 00:01:50,773
Speaker 2: to hear.

33
00:01:50,653 --> 00:01:52,613
Speaker 3: About it exactly. We made that pretty clear. I made

34
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:53,733
Speaker 3: it very very.

35
00:01:53,533 --> 00:01:57,933
Speaker 2: Clear that Mike Costing didn't need to know about the situation.

36
00:01:58,853 --> 00:02:01,773
Speaker 2: But I tune into the breakfast show in the morning,

37
00:02:02,013 --> 00:02:02,853
Speaker 2: and this is what I hear.

38
00:02:03,013 --> 00:02:06,533
Speaker 5: Then we come to this experiment we're running in the

39
00:02:06,573 --> 00:02:09,573
Speaker 5: afternoon between twelve and four. Is it twelve and four

40
00:02:09,613 --> 00:02:12,213
Speaker 5: or twelve and through is twelve and four, there's Tyler,

41
00:02:12,253 --> 00:02:14,053
Speaker 5: Matt show, what's going on here?

42
00:02:14,493 --> 00:02:17,053
Speaker 3: You can tell I'm panting here, my mate's topless. My

43
00:02:17,093 --> 00:02:19,253
Speaker 3: computer shut down here, the computers shut down.

44
00:02:19,373 --> 00:02:23,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so spilled a coffee when everywhere, and you

45
00:02:23,693 --> 00:02:26,053
Speaker 2: know we're in the my Costing Memorial studio, so you

46
00:02:26,173 --> 00:02:28,093
Speaker 2: got to you got to clean up when you make

47
00:02:28,093 --> 00:02:31,053
Speaker 2: a mess. So I immediately whipped my shirt off to

48
00:02:31,813 --> 00:02:34,693
Speaker 2: wipe down the bench. And yeah, still do it.

49
00:02:35,413 --> 00:02:38,413
Speaker 5: He's wrong. You don't clean up with a mess. What

50
00:02:38,453 --> 00:02:40,132
Speaker 5: you do is you don't let those sort of people

51
00:02:40,173 --> 00:02:42,333
Speaker 5: into the my Costume studium in the first place. And

52
00:02:42,733 --> 00:02:45,213
Speaker 5: management this And I said, first of all, these clowns

53
00:02:45,252 --> 00:02:47,573
Speaker 5: are nothing but trouble. They're going to cause us nothing

54
00:02:47,573 --> 00:02:50,532
Speaker 5: but difficulty. And was I right or was I right?

55
00:02:51,013 --> 00:02:56,293
Speaker 5: So apparently I only found out about this through because

56
00:02:56,333 --> 00:03:00,453
Speaker 5: I don't listen to them. Obviously you found out about

57
00:03:00,493 --> 00:03:01,813
Speaker 5: this through the grapevine.

58
00:03:02,173 --> 00:03:04,213
Speaker 2: Someone spilled their coffee everyow. I'm not sure how it was.

59
00:03:04,252 --> 00:03:06,333
Speaker 2: We'll look at the tapes. It was either me or Tyler.

60
00:03:07,813 --> 00:03:10,252
Speaker 3: The evidence there, man, I'm looking forward to seeing that video.

61
00:03:10,453 --> 00:03:12,253
Speaker 2: So we had to move to another studio and try

62
00:03:12,333 --> 00:03:16,333
Speaker 2: and piece together a show over there with very little tech.

63
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:18,293
Speaker 2: But we're now back and no one tell Hosking about

64
00:03:18,293 --> 00:03:18,653
Speaker 2: this again?

65
00:03:18,733 --> 00:03:21,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Please don't don't tell Hosking if you see

66
00:03:21,252 --> 00:03:22,973
Speaker 3: him out shopping as don't mention it.

67
00:03:22,972 --> 00:03:25,213
Speaker 2: Because the coffee's all been in a special stuff that's

68
00:03:25,252 --> 00:03:26,733
Speaker 2: down and there these draws here.

69
00:03:26,893 --> 00:03:27,493
Speaker 3: He'll never know.

70
00:03:27,653 --> 00:03:30,093
Speaker 2: I tried to clean off a special pens and everything,

71
00:03:30,413 --> 00:03:32,373
Speaker 2: but it was a coffee agetin in here.

72
00:03:32,453 --> 00:03:34,813
Speaker 3: It's been given a deep clean. It smells like lemon water,

73
00:03:34,893 --> 00:03:37,013
Speaker 3: which he's used to. So nobody tell Hosking.

74
00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:38,693
Speaker 2: So cone of silence everyone.

75
00:03:39,413 --> 00:03:42,893
Speaker 5: Here's the thing. I knew about it this morning because

76
00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:45,893
Speaker 5: I emptied the rubbishman, because those pigs don't do it,

77
00:03:46,413 --> 00:03:48,373
Speaker 5: and so I empty the rubbishman every morning. And in

78
00:03:48,413 --> 00:03:50,293
Speaker 5: the bottom of the rubbish bin are eight hundred and

79
00:03:50,333 --> 00:03:52,853
Speaker 5: fifty seven thousand wet towels that they've been.

80
00:03:52,853 --> 00:03:55,533
Speaker 2: That's sanitizing the scene of the crime. One over, What.

81
00:03:55,613 --> 00:03:58,853
Speaker 5: Exactly do the bed lean up the evidence?

82
00:03:59,173 --> 00:03:59,733
Speaker 2: Idiots?

83
00:04:00,413 --> 00:04:02,133
Speaker 5: And how many memos have been written over the years

84
00:04:02,133 --> 00:04:03,773
Speaker 5: about not spelling stuff in the studio?

85
00:04:04,053 --> 00:04:05,133
Speaker 2: How many memos?

86
00:04:05,893 --> 00:04:09,413
Speaker 5: I think this officially is alarm I'd like to personally,

87
00:04:09,453 --> 00:04:11,773
Speaker 5: I'd like to make it it don't come monday. But

88
00:04:11,893 --> 00:04:15,013
Speaker 5: let's caol this the last warning, shall we Wow?

89
00:04:15,173 --> 00:04:17,733
Speaker 2: Okay, So shots fired there and I'm just looking over

90
00:04:17,733 --> 00:04:20,573
Speaker 2: at the rubbishman here and Hoskin doesn't empty the rubbishman

91
00:04:20,573 --> 00:04:22,813
Speaker 2: when he leaves because he's too chopped up little bits

92
00:04:22,813 --> 00:04:24,933
Speaker 2: of lemon in here. Yeah and so, and I understand

93
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:27,333
Speaker 2: he's on some kind of lemon detox or something.

94
00:04:27,413 --> 00:04:29,173
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't leave freight in the band, come on.

95
00:04:29,373 --> 00:04:31,453
Speaker 2: And I also to think Mike is confused when he

96
00:04:31,453 --> 00:04:34,013
Speaker 2: says the experiment in the afternoon. What he means is

97
00:04:34,053 --> 00:04:36,253
Speaker 2: the future of news talks. He'd be in the afternoons,

98
00:04:36,253 --> 00:04:38,693
Speaker 2: if not the future of broadcasting as a whole. And

99
00:04:38,773 --> 00:04:41,413
Speaker 2: if it is an experiment, it's the bloody Manhattan project

100
00:04:41,493 --> 00:04:43,933
Speaker 2: in here, correct, the mad Heath project in here, the

101
00:04:43,973 --> 00:04:47,613
Speaker 2: Matt and Tyler project. Also, we did clean out the bins.

102
00:04:48,373 --> 00:04:50,493
Speaker 2: I've committed enough crimes in my time to know that

103
00:04:50,493 --> 00:04:53,213
Speaker 2: you've got to clean up the evidence. So those thousand

104
00:04:53,933 --> 00:04:57,373
Speaker 2: wet paper towels were clearly Ryan Bridges. So I don't

105
00:04:57,373 --> 00:04:58,973
Speaker 2: know what he's doing on drive. Whatever it is, it's

106
00:04:59,013 --> 00:05:02,813
Speaker 2: moist yea. And as for the final warning, if you

107
00:05:02,813 --> 00:05:05,213
Speaker 2: don't like the crimes I commit, well, working at a place,

108
00:05:05,293 --> 00:05:07,733
Speaker 2: you should see what I do to workplaces I've been

109
00:05:07,733 --> 00:05:11,493
Speaker 2: fired from. It's not pretty, Mike, not pretty. It all

110
00:05:11,573 --> 00:05:14,613
Speaker 2: hell hath no fury like a Matt Heath scorn. It

111
00:05:14,613 --> 00:05:16,853
Speaker 2: will take more than a few paper towels to clean

112
00:05:16,933 --> 00:05:20,293
Speaker 2: up the mess. When you cancel my contract, coffee will

113
00:05:20,293 --> 00:05:24,173
Speaker 2: be the nicest fluid being thrown around. Okay, having said that,

114
00:05:24,533 --> 00:05:28,493
Speaker 2: we are you know, you're only as you're only as

115
00:05:28,533 --> 00:05:32,413
Speaker 2: good as your improvements from your mistakes the day before.

116
00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:36,813
Speaker 2: So I have purchased the fort knox of coffee cups

117
00:05:37,133 --> 00:05:40,493
Speaker 2: because I am still flouting the drinking in the studio rule.

118
00:05:40,693 --> 00:05:43,933
Speaker 2: But I've bought this gray thing. It's got a scroll

119
00:05:43,973 --> 00:05:46,493
Speaker 2: on lead. You could you could throw this across the

120
00:05:46,573 --> 00:05:49,853
Speaker 2: room and it wouldn't it wouldn't leak. So there'll be

121
00:05:49,973 --> 00:05:51,973
Speaker 2: there'll be no more coffee again in Okay.

122
00:05:51,813 --> 00:05:54,293
Speaker 3: Live and learn. But not because Mike Costkin, see, just

123
00:05:54,333 --> 00:05:56,653
Speaker 3: because there is the sort of person you are.

124
00:05:56,653 --> 00:05:58,453
Speaker 2: Because I'm a good person. Yeah, and I learned from

125
00:05:58,493 --> 00:06:01,813
Speaker 2: my mistakes and we move forward. And yeah, so.

126
00:06:01,773 --> 00:06:03,413
Speaker 3: We put that one to be at a park apart

127
00:06:03,413 --> 00:06:05,373
Speaker 3: from the lemon slices in the rubbish, but we might

128
00:06:05,373 --> 00:06:06,253
Speaker 3: bring that up with management.

129
00:06:06,293 --> 00:06:09,773
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have written a memo about that, all right,

130
00:06:09,893 --> 00:06:12,493
Speaker 2: No citrus in the bin, very good, right.

131
00:06:12,453 --> 00:06:15,133
Speaker 3: Put that one to bed, coming up very shortly, we're

132
00:06:15,133 --> 00:06:17,933
Speaker 3: going to have a chat about tourism. It is eleven

133
00:06:18,053 --> 00:06:19,893
Speaker 3: past one.

134
00:06:21,733 --> 00:06:25,173
Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and

135
00:06:25,453 --> 00:06:29,053
Speaker 1: everything in between. Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo

136
00:06:29,373 --> 00:06:32,573
Speaker 1: XC ninety attention to detail and a commitment to comfort

137
00:06:32,653 --> 00:06:33,213
Speaker 1: news talks.

138
00:06:33,213 --> 00:06:33,493
Speaker 4: That'd be.

139
00:06:35,893 --> 00:06:39,733
Speaker 3: Very good. Afternoon, Juitor. Is fourteen past one, So let's

140
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:43,573
Speaker 3: have a chat about tourism. So tourists may not have

141
00:06:43,613 --> 00:06:46,613
Speaker 3: returned to pre COVID levels, but their spending has stay.

142
00:06:46,733 --> 00:06:49,373
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, tourism spinning back up to sixteen point

143
00:06:49,453 --> 00:06:52,293
Speaker 2: nine billion in the twelve months to March twenty twenty four,

144
00:06:52,373 --> 00:06:56,733
Speaker 2: similar to twenty nineteen. But as you say, Tyler, we're

145
00:06:56,773 --> 00:06:59,253
Speaker 2: not up to capacity as we were before, are we. Well,

146
00:06:59,293 --> 00:07:01,773
Speaker 2: we're not not there as capacity, but we're eighty five

147
00:07:01,773 --> 00:07:04,173
Speaker 2: percent of We're making the same amount of money from

148
00:07:04,173 --> 00:07:05,133
Speaker 2: eighty five percent tourists.

149
00:07:05,253 --> 00:07:09,173
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that leaves the question where we are getting

150
00:07:09,173 --> 00:07:11,693
Speaker 3: that spender back, which is a good thing, But do

151
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:15,253
Speaker 3: we want to see more tourists come into the country.

152
00:07:15,253 --> 00:07:17,213
Speaker 3: If we're only at eighty percent, then we can get

153
00:07:17,253 --> 00:07:20,693
Speaker 3: another fifteen percent at least, if not more.

154
00:07:21,213 --> 00:07:24,933
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Queen sound lacks. Councilors have been warned that

155
00:07:25,013 --> 00:07:28,733
Speaker 2: increasing tourist pressure could trigger protest and local hostily if

156
00:07:28,813 --> 00:07:32,133
Speaker 2: it's not an urgent intervention investment made.

157
00:07:32,333 --> 00:07:35,093
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, Mike cost Gen had a chat to the

158
00:07:35,093 --> 00:07:39,013
Speaker 3: CEO of Tourism New Zealand, Renee de Mont, and here's

159
00:07:39,053 --> 00:07:41,053
Speaker 3: a little bit of what he said to Mike this morning.

160
00:07:41,133 --> 00:07:43,613
Speaker 6: There's plenty of capacity and we actually want both. But

161
00:07:44,013 --> 00:07:46,013
Speaker 6: it is a good news story. You know, those are

162
00:07:46,413 --> 00:07:48,693
Speaker 6: that's a pretty big growth number. Six billion dollars of

163
00:07:48,733 --> 00:07:52,693
Speaker 6: growth in tourism spend in the year to march. You know,

164
00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:55,093
Speaker 6: that's a significant uplift from a major expert.

165
00:07:55,213 --> 00:07:57,253
Speaker 5: I'm glad to hear you say plenty of capacity because

166
00:07:57,253 --> 00:07:58,773
Speaker 5: I was watching the news last night and they managed

167
00:07:58,773 --> 00:08:00,613
Speaker 5: to find yet another moner who was saying that, you know,

168
00:08:00,693 --> 00:08:02,853
Speaker 5: the infrastructure can't cope and it's all too busy, and

169
00:08:02,893 --> 00:08:04,453
Speaker 5: it's is it or not.

170
00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:08,133
Speaker 6: Well, Look, I think it's important we've got to promote

171
00:08:08,133 --> 00:08:10,413
Speaker 6: news year around. But if you think about it, as

172
00:08:10,413 --> 00:08:13,293
Speaker 6: we talked about previously, you know, we're at about eighty

173
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:17,093
Speaker 6: five percent of the visitor numbers that we were pre COVID,

174
00:08:17,133 --> 00:08:20,653
Speaker 6: So that so there's definitely plenty of capacity, and especially

175
00:08:20,693 --> 00:08:22,933
Speaker 6: when you look at year round, you know, we still

176
00:08:22,933 --> 00:08:24,213
Speaker 6: have quite a lot of people that come in the

177
00:08:24,213 --> 00:08:27,013
Speaker 6: summer months. How do we also encourage people. It's a

178
00:08:27,013 --> 00:08:29,933
Speaker 6: big focus of ours of people to come in between

179
00:08:29,933 --> 00:08:33,813
Speaker 6: March and November and not just between December and February.

180
00:08:34,612 --> 00:08:38,413
Speaker 3: Which is interesting. And as Mike mentioned, he heard on

181
00:08:38,453 --> 00:08:41,372
Speaker 3: the news that there are some people down in Queenstown

182
00:08:41,533 --> 00:08:44,533
Speaker 3: moaning his words on the infrastructure. And as you mentioned,

183
00:08:44,573 --> 00:08:48,293
Speaker 3: there is quite the kafuffle in some parts of Queenstown

184
00:08:48,333 --> 00:08:51,893
Speaker 3: about the numbers of tourists invading the township.

185
00:08:52,333 --> 00:08:54,492
Speaker 2: Yes, so what do we want to do? So if

186
00:08:54,533 --> 00:08:57,213
Speaker 2: we can make this much money off eighty five percent,

187
00:08:57,653 --> 00:08:59,732
Speaker 2: why don't we pump it up to one hundred percent

188
00:08:59,933 --> 00:09:01,693
Speaker 2: or one hundred and ten percent of what we had

189
00:09:01,732 --> 00:09:04,413
Speaker 2: before and make even more money and see if tourism

190
00:09:04,492 --> 00:09:06,853
Speaker 2: can knock off dearya as our biggest inn it.

191
00:09:06,973 --> 00:09:10,292
Speaker 3: Yeah, remember back when when labor was in power. God forbid,

192
00:09:10,573 --> 00:09:13,293
Speaker 3: but Stuart Nash, And Stuart Nash seems to be a

193
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:16,412
Speaker 3: pretty good guy. But he was adamant that we needed

194
00:09:16,492 --> 00:09:20,693
Speaker 3: quality over quantity and didn't want the backpackers. He just

195
00:09:20,732 --> 00:09:24,333
Speaker 3: wanted the big spenders because we're all freaking out about this.

196
00:09:24,413 --> 00:09:27,252
Speaker 3: Too many tourists here, we can't cope. I think that

197
00:09:27,413 --> 00:09:29,653
Speaker 3: was a mistake. I mean, how good would it be

198
00:09:29,693 --> 00:09:30,733
Speaker 3: to go back to those times?

199
00:09:32,892 --> 00:09:35,532
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean in the ideal world you would

200
00:09:35,612 --> 00:09:40,772
Speaker 2: have just huge amounts of high quality, high end tourists

201
00:09:40,813 --> 00:09:45,933
Speaker 2: that do the minimum amount of pressure on our infrastructure, right, Yeah,

202
00:09:46,053 --> 00:09:47,973
Speaker 2: but you don't really get to pack them, do you.

203
00:09:48,413 --> 00:09:51,093
Speaker 2: So you just get as in my opinion, and I'd

204
00:09:51,093 --> 00:09:54,253
Speaker 2: like to hear people who disagree with us on our

205
00:09:54,372 --> 00:09:56,173
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty or nine two niney

206
00:09:56,173 --> 00:09:59,292
Speaker 2: two my opinion, as we get as many in as

207
00:09:59,293 --> 00:10:01,853
Speaker 2: we can, and we try and get as much money

208
00:10:01,852 --> 00:10:04,093
Speaker 2: off them as we possibly can. Well, they are here,

209
00:10:04,533 --> 00:10:06,252
Speaker 2: I mean the problem as of course that they all

210
00:10:06,252 --> 00:10:08,492
Speaker 2: go to Queenstown. Yeah, So if we could get get

211
00:10:08,533 --> 00:10:10,773
Speaker 2: them international tourists to sort of go to a few

212
00:10:10,773 --> 00:10:12,853
Speaker 2: other places, that would be really handy. Of course, we're

213
00:10:12,892 --> 00:10:14,813
Speaker 2: spending a bit of money over in Australia, aren't we

214
00:10:14,852 --> 00:10:17,253
Speaker 2: to try and get more tourists over here? Yeah, But

215
00:10:17,573 --> 00:10:20,732
Speaker 2: if we could get them to spread themselves out across

216
00:10:20,773 --> 00:10:23,933
Speaker 2: the whole year, in the whole country, very very convenient.

217
00:10:24,012 --> 00:10:24,932
Speaker 3: It would be good, wouldn't it.

218
00:10:25,053 --> 00:10:27,492
Speaker 2: Yeah, but one hundred and eighty ten eighty have we

219
00:10:27,573 --> 00:10:30,612
Speaker 2: got back to enough tourists? There's eighty five percent enough

220
00:10:30,653 --> 00:10:32,093
Speaker 2: if it's going to bring us in the same money

221
00:10:32,093 --> 00:10:33,973
Speaker 2: that it did in twenty nineteen.

222
00:10:33,773 --> 00:10:39,693
Speaker 3: Let's get into this. It is eighteen parts one.

223
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:41,732
Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking.

224
00:10:41,413 --> 00:10:45,052
Speaker 5: Breakfast so called citizens arrest Police Association President Chris car

225
00:10:45,093 --> 00:10:47,453
Speaker 5: Hills with us, are we setting ourselves on fire needlessly?

226
00:10:47,492 --> 00:10:47,652
Speaker 7: Here?

227
00:10:47,732 --> 00:10:47,892
Speaker 8: Real?

228
00:10:48,093 --> 00:10:48,132
Speaker 9: Was?

229
00:10:48,173 --> 00:10:48,333
Speaker 8: Here?

230
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:48,453
Speaker 10: Is you?

231
00:10:48,533 --> 00:10:49,533
Speaker 2: And I aren't going to do this.

232
00:10:49,612 --> 00:10:51,372
Speaker 5: It's really for security guards, isn't it?

233
00:10:51,453 --> 00:10:52,132
Speaker 11: What I mean?

234
00:10:52,132 --> 00:10:54,532
Speaker 12: Look at beeries for instance, they don't have security guards.

235
00:10:54,612 --> 00:10:57,373
Speaker 12: They have shopkeepers and family people, and there's going to

236
00:10:57,372 --> 00:10:59,892
Speaker 12: be an expectation that they do, especially if they're working

237
00:10:59,892 --> 00:11:00,492
Speaker 12: for some boss.

238
00:11:00,533 --> 00:11:01,533
Speaker 10: We think they should do it.

239
00:11:01,732 --> 00:11:03,573
Speaker 12: But even security guards. You look at some of these

240
00:11:03,612 --> 00:11:06,413
Speaker 12: security gards so not really highly trained. They're not highly

241
00:11:07,012 --> 00:11:09,413
Speaker 12: to think of police officers, all the equipment and all

242
00:11:09,413 --> 00:11:11,693
Speaker 12: the training, still assaulted every day. I don't mean to

243
00:11:11,693 --> 00:11:14,173
Speaker 12: be the humbug. I get why people just think, on

244
00:11:14,213 --> 00:11:16,132
Speaker 12: the face, it's a good idea, but when you peel

245
00:11:16,173 --> 00:11:18,372
Speaker 12: it back. It's true risky stuff.

246
00:11:18,533 --> 00:11:21,333
Speaker 5: Back tomorrow at six am The Mic Hosking Breakfast with

247
00:11:21,372 --> 00:11:23,573
Speaker 5: Mayley's Real Estate News Talk z B.

248
00:11:23,813 --> 00:11:27,532
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, it is twenty one pass one, So tourist

249
00:11:27,573 --> 00:11:31,133
Speaker 3: spending has increased to pre COVID levels, but tourist numbers

250
00:11:31,413 --> 00:11:33,973
Speaker 3: are still down a little bit. Do we want to

251
00:11:34,093 --> 00:11:37,253
Speaker 3: bring them? And there's a bit of grizzle about infrastructure

252
00:11:37,293 --> 00:11:39,012
Speaker 3: in some parts of New Zealand's.

253
00:11:38,773 --> 00:11:41,852
Speaker 2: Yes, so people are already complaining about too many tourists

254
00:11:41,852 --> 00:11:44,372
Speaker 2: in certain places. But of course, you know, as people

255
00:11:44,372 --> 00:11:47,533
Speaker 2: are texting out, that's inflation that is causing us. So

256
00:11:47,533 --> 00:11:49,493
Speaker 2: we've got less tourists than the same amount of money,

257
00:11:49,693 --> 00:11:52,133
Speaker 2: but it's much more expensive to be here. So I

258
00:11:52,132 --> 00:11:57,732
Speaker 2: mean that's logical, right, But you know, do we you know?

259
00:11:58,372 --> 00:12:01,213
Speaker 2: So it's not just alight for like, it's not like,

260
00:12:01,453 --> 00:12:03,173
Speaker 2: you know, the same money from the same tourist at

261
00:12:03,173 --> 00:12:05,773
Speaker 2: the same time, right, But it does mean that we

262
00:12:05,852 --> 00:12:09,093
Speaker 2: have more capacity. Arguably, if we're only at eighty five

263
00:12:09,132 --> 00:12:11,693
Speaker 2: percent of the tourists we had so arguably we could

264
00:12:11,732 --> 00:12:14,693
Speaker 2: bet fifteen percent. And although back then we were overrun

265
00:12:14,693 --> 00:12:16,413
Speaker 2: by tourists to the point where Stuart Nash was saying

266
00:12:16,413 --> 00:12:18,453
Speaker 2: that we wanted to only have high land in tourists

267
00:12:18,492 --> 00:12:19,852
Speaker 2: and we didn't like sydnetyper tourists.

268
00:12:19,892 --> 00:12:21,693
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't that in the golden years. I mean

269
00:12:21,693 --> 00:12:25,493
Speaker 3: that was before the world just turned to custard. So

270
00:12:25,653 --> 00:12:27,413
Speaker 3: was it a mistake? Do we just need to get

271
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,733
Speaker 3: all the tourists we can into the.

272
00:12:28,732 --> 00:12:32,132
Speaker 2: Country, Dave, You reckon the Southern Lakes is taking the

273
00:12:32,132 --> 00:12:33,053
Speaker 2: biggest hit from all this.

274
00:12:34,653 --> 00:12:39,893
Speaker 7: Yeah, good afternoon, fellas. Absolutely. I spent a lot of

275
00:12:39,933 --> 00:12:43,093
Speaker 7: time down there. I have done for quite a few years.

276
00:12:44,012 --> 00:12:47,693
Speaker 7: And look, I've been involved in the tourism industry both

277
00:12:47,732 --> 00:12:52,933
Speaker 7: here and overseas and on you know, including cruise five

278
00:12:53,012 --> 00:12:55,132
Speaker 7: years in the cruise line industry. I've got a pretty

279
00:12:55,132 --> 00:12:58,933
Speaker 7: good handle on, you know, on tourism management and you know,

280
00:12:59,012 --> 00:13:02,453
Speaker 7: in the market and the breakdown of who spins what

281
00:13:02,693 --> 00:13:06,093
Speaker 7: and where, and you know, I've got to say Queenstown

282
00:13:06,213 --> 00:13:08,772
Speaker 7: as the proverbial cluster, you know, and then we put

283
00:13:08,773 --> 00:13:13,093
Speaker 7: the bleep in. It is one of the most mismanaged

284
00:13:13,132 --> 00:13:17,933
Speaker 7: areas in New Zealand. Beautiful as it is, but it's

285
00:13:17,933 --> 00:13:21,372
Speaker 7: beautiful not because of anyone. It's beautiful before humans are

286
00:13:21,413 --> 00:13:28,333
Speaker 7: ripe so but unfortunately, you know, everyone wants to excrete

287
00:13:28,333 --> 00:13:30,892
Speaker 7: a bit of money out of the terraces. Uh and

288
00:13:31,053 --> 00:13:34,253
Speaker 7: you know it's just a nightmare for locals and particularly

289
00:13:34,612 --> 00:13:36,773
Speaker 7: even people just going down there for a visit. I mean,

290
00:13:36,813 --> 00:13:40,093
Speaker 7: the traffic down there is absolutely diabolical. I don't know

291
00:13:40,132 --> 00:13:42,653
Speaker 7: what Mike Hoskins is on, mate, but you know he

292
00:13:43,053 --> 00:13:45,933
Speaker 7: obviously doesn't know that area, but it is. I mean

293
00:13:45,973 --> 00:13:48,173
Speaker 7: when you have takes you thirty minutes to drive from

294
00:13:48,372 --> 00:13:51,053
Speaker 7: the airport just to the Franklin round About, you know,

295
00:13:51,132 --> 00:13:53,852
Speaker 7: that's that's Auckland nightmare stuff.

296
00:13:53,892 --> 00:13:54,093
Speaker 13: Mate.

297
00:13:54,173 --> 00:13:57,813
Speaker 7: You know what we need in this what we need

298
00:13:57,852 --> 00:14:02,252
Speaker 7: in this country is to promote you know, fi T market,

299
00:14:02,252 --> 00:14:05,093
Speaker 7: the free independent traveler, because the are the ones that

300
00:14:05,173 --> 00:14:07,293
Speaker 7: spend the money made. It's not the high end rich

301
00:14:07,372 --> 00:14:10,372
Speaker 7: people that's a I Carts and Queenstown. It's the ones

302
00:14:10,413 --> 00:14:14,333
Speaker 7: that the young guys from you know, USA, Canada, Elsie

303
00:14:14,413 --> 00:14:16,293
Speaker 7: and Britain and so on. The are the ones that

304
00:14:16,333 --> 00:14:19,013
Speaker 7: go jumping out of planes and you know, indulge in

305
00:14:19,053 --> 00:14:21,093
Speaker 7: the experiences that we have to offer in New Zealand,

306
00:14:21,373 --> 00:14:24,693
Speaker 7: not not the Chinese market. The plastic bubble phenomenon that

307
00:14:25,253 --> 00:14:27,893
Speaker 7: we know the buses, you know the butt the tour buses.

308
00:14:28,093 --> 00:14:30,973
Speaker 7: It's the people that are the young, independent travelers, the

309
00:14:31,053 --> 00:14:32,453
Speaker 7: are the ones that spend the money.

310
00:14:33,533 --> 00:14:35,733
Speaker 2: Well, what do you think could be done in Queenstown.

311
00:14:35,773 --> 00:14:37,893
Speaker 2: Do you think it's just at peak because of the

312
00:14:37,933 --> 00:14:40,613
Speaker 2: way the roads go into Queenstown and the geography of

313
00:14:40,933 --> 00:14:44,013
Speaker 2: the situation. But is there infrastructure that could be put

314
00:14:44,053 --> 00:14:47,813
Speaker 2: in there that would help Queenstown and just the Southern

315
00:14:47,853 --> 00:14:50,373
Speaker 2: Lakes District to be able to handle the tourism or

316
00:14:50,453 --> 00:14:51,253
Speaker 2: is it just ramy.

317
00:14:52,493 --> 00:14:54,893
Speaker 7: Well, look at the moment, as I said, it's it's

318
00:14:54,933 --> 00:14:57,813
Speaker 7: badly mismanaged. It has been for a few years, and

319
00:14:58,493 --> 00:15:02,013
Speaker 7: I think what to answer your question, I would ban

320
00:15:02,533 --> 00:15:06,532
Speaker 7: literally ban people from driving into the CBD in Queenstown itself.

321
00:15:06,893 --> 00:15:09,373
Speaker 7: I mean, that's an area that only tourists going anyway.

322
00:15:09,413 --> 00:15:12,653
Speaker 7: The locals don't shop in the CBD. It's a no

323
00:15:12,773 --> 00:15:17,773
Speaker 7: go area for most queens Townians, you know, have it

324
00:15:17,853 --> 00:15:21,053
Speaker 7: as a Obviously there's hotels on the other side of Queenstown,

325
00:15:21,053 --> 00:15:23,373
Speaker 7: on the Glen ork Orkie side, so they've got to

326
00:15:23,373 --> 00:15:25,933
Speaker 7: get there. But you know, just stop people from driving

327
00:15:25,973 --> 00:15:29,733
Speaker 7: into Queenstown. I would personally, I would set up a

328
00:15:29,773 --> 00:15:34,373
Speaker 7: Miami like gone train electric train from Frankton and use

329
00:15:34,453 --> 00:15:39,333
Speaker 7: that get people off the blooming roads, mate, and just

330
00:15:39,413 --> 00:15:42,973
Speaker 7: make it easier. I mean, most Kiwis don't particularly want

331
00:15:43,093 --> 00:15:44,933
Speaker 7: to have to deal with that when they go on holiday.

332
00:15:45,893 --> 00:15:48,133
Speaker 7: You know, for people that come from Beijing or you know,

333
00:15:48,133 --> 00:15:50,213
Speaker 7: other places around the world, they're kind of used to

334
00:15:50,213 --> 00:15:52,453
Speaker 7: it and they get busted around. But we just need

335
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:55,213
Speaker 7: to take the pressure off. The CBD of Queenstown and

336
00:15:55,293 --> 00:15:57,733
Speaker 7: wank is a little bit the same. It's not as bad.

337
00:15:57,813 --> 00:15:59,133
Speaker 7: It's still a beautiful place.

338
00:15:59,133 --> 00:15:59,533
Speaker 2: I love it.

339
00:16:00,253 --> 00:16:02,613
Speaker 7: But we've got to manage it, mate. We've got to

340
00:16:02,653 --> 00:16:06,533
Speaker 7: show some peripheral vision and actually think, well, you know,

341
00:16:07,013 --> 00:16:09,493
Speaker 7: Stuart Nash was full of full of it, mate, he

342
00:16:09,813 --> 00:16:12,693
Speaker 7: you know, getting these high end guys, where these guys

343
00:16:12,733 --> 00:16:15,653
Speaker 7: going to come from. You know that they're not buying rolls,

344
00:16:15,653 --> 00:16:19,733
Speaker 7: They're not buying rollixes in Geraldine or seriously, they're not

345
00:16:19,813 --> 00:16:21,933
Speaker 7: made and you know that's just a myth. You know,

346
00:16:21,973 --> 00:16:24,933
Speaker 7: when I did my degree in tourism many many years ago,

347
00:16:25,413 --> 00:16:28,493
Speaker 7: we had this phrase called the plastic bubble phenomenon, and

348
00:16:28,533 --> 00:16:31,213
Speaker 7: that was the tourists that travel around New Zealand and buses.

349
00:16:31,213 --> 00:16:33,533
Speaker 7: They never touched New Zealand. They just like to see

350
00:16:33,533 --> 00:16:36,453
Speaker 7: from the window. And you know, the high end market

351
00:16:36,853 --> 00:16:40,453
Speaker 7: they extick to themselves. They don't indulge the way that

352
00:16:40,613 --> 00:16:44,093
Speaker 7: you know the ft market does and the kiwi's the

353
00:16:44,093 --> 00:16:44,532
Speaker 7: locals do.

354
00:16:45,253 --> 00:16:47,813
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, of course where the airporters in Queenstown. You

355
00:16:47,933 --> 00:16:50,133
Speaker 2: land there and then you've got to head into town.

356
00:16:50,613 --> 00:16:52,693
Speaker 2: And so I guess the thing is, how do you

357
00:16:52,733 --> 00:16:54,693
Speaker 2: get people to go the other way, Dave, so that

358
00:16:54,733 --> 00:16:58,013
Speaker 2: they arrive at land in Frankton and then instead of

359
00:16:58,013 --> 00:17:01,412
Speaker 2: just going into Queenstown, you encourage them to head out

360
00:17:01,853 --> 00:17:06,133
Speaker 2: towards Wanaka, towards Techapo, towards all those other fantastic places

361
00:17:06,373 --> 00:17:09,053
Speaker 2: that are around there. How do you make that happen?

362
00:17:10,293 --> 00:17:13,773
Speaker 7: Well, first off, you've got to facilitate a transport system

363
00:17:13,813 --> 00:17:16,213
Speaker 7: that works, and we don't have one. You know, as

364
00:17:16,253 --> 00:17:20,773
Speaker 7: I said earlier, if we had a rail system or

365
00:17:20,813 --> 00:17:23,893
Speaker 7: a gondola system that went from Frankton too straight into

366
00:17:23,933 --> 00:17:26,532
Speaker 7: the cbdre so they can go there, that yeah, be

367
00:17:26,573 --> 00:17:28,733
Speaker 7: cool man, And it would take away the traffic, because

368
00:17:28,733 --> 00:17:32,373
Speaker 7: the traffic is a nightmare. Talk to any queens Tonian mate,

369
00:17:32,493 --> 00:17:34,613
Speaker 7: they will tell you eight o'clock in the morning, all

370
00:17:34,613 --> 00:17:35,733
Speaker 7: that five o'clock at night.

371
00:17:35,813 --> 00:17:36,093
Speaker 2: It is.

372
00:17:36,653 --> 00:17:40,333
Speaker 7: It's like Auckland Spaghetti junction. So we've got to get

373
00:17:40,333 --> 00:17:42,373
Speaker 7: them away from there. They'll travel to want because they'll

374
00:17:42,373 --> 00:17:44,893
Speaker 7: travel to chick A poem Poochecki and all those wonderful

375
00:17:44,933 --> 00:17:48,453
Speaker 7: places and the rentals and the Maui campers. That's another

376
00:17:48,613 --> 00:17:50,533
Speaker 7: that's a whole nother kettle of fish about the roading

377
00:17:50,573 --> 00:17:53,453
Speaker 7: system here. But we've just got to make it safer

378
00:17:53,493 --> 00:17:56,133
Speaker 7: and easier and faster for these people to get around.

379
00:17:56,173 --> 00:17:59,253
Speaker 7: And you know, I just think, you know, the focus

380
00:17:59,373 --> 00:18:04,453
Speaker 7: has been on you know, let's take the remarkables and Wakatipu. Yep,

381
00:18:04,533 --> 00:18:07,093
Speaker 7: that's fine, But how we get them there, We get

382
00:18:07,093 --> 00:18:09,173
Speaker 7: them out of the cars and we just get them

383
00:18:09,333 --> 00:18:11,613
Speaker 7: in a nice, safe way, you know, whether it be

384
00:18:11,613 --> 00:18:14,613
Speaker 7: water taxi or gondola or electric rail or monorail or

385
00:18:14,613 --> 00:18:15,173
Speaker 7: something like that.

386
00:18:15,373 --> 00:18:20,853
Speaker 3: You know, what about incentivizing the tourists other mono rail

387
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:23,613
Speaker 3: It didn't quite work out for Springfield, But what about

388
00:18:23,773 --> 00:18:27,053
Speaker 3: incentivizing the tourists when they come here from a government level.

389
00:18:27,093 --> 00:18:29,933
Speaker 3: Because I understand the tourist bodies in each region compete

390
00:18:29,933 --> 00:18:32,293
Speaker 3: with each other, but from a government level, you incentivize

391
00:18:32,293 --> 00:18:34,533
Speaker 3: the tourists to go to some of the other places

392
00:18:34,533 --> 00:18:36,733
Speaker 3: that aren't rammed and it capacity.

393
00:18:37,933 --> 00:18:41,573
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, look, you know, there's so many beautiful little spots.

394
00:18:41,653 --> 00:18:43,453
Speaker 7: And I'm talking on South Island at the moment, but

395
00:18:43,613 --> 00:18:45,813
Speaker 7: the same in the North Island, there's great spots. How

396
00:18:45,813 --> 00:18:49,693
Speaker 7: do you incentivize people to the best way to incentivize

397
00:18:49,773 --> 00:18:51,973
Speaker 7: is to offer them a way to get there without

398
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:54,173
Speaker 7: costing them an arm and a leg and putting their

399
00:18:54,213 --> 00:18:57,533
Speaker 7: life at risk. I travel on those roads so many

400
00:18:57,573 --> 00:18:59,933
Speaker 7: times a year, mate, it's not funny, and I'm I'm

401
00:19:00,053 --> 00:19:04,093
Speaker 7: duck dog dodgy, diving and weaving, trying trying to not

402
00:19:04,373 --> 00:19:07,813
Speaker 7: get myself killed by a Campa van or an Apex

403
00:19:07,853 --> 00:19:11,853
Speaker 7: rental car. And we've got to invest in the roading system.

404
00:19:12,053 --> 00:19:14,613
Speaker 7: We've got to spend a lot of money on getting

405
00:19:15,053 --> 00:19:18,453
Speaker 7: the transportation system up to a world standard at the

406
00:19:18,493 --> 00:19:19,973
Speaker 7: moment where third world.

407
00:19:20,013 --> 00:19:20,213
Speaker 14: Mate.

408
00:19:20,213 --> 00:19:23,053
Speaker 7: Those roads were built in the nineteenth century and they

409
00:19:23,053 --> 00:19:24,253
Speaker 7: haven't really improved much.

410
00:19:25,573 --> 00:19:28,733
Speaker 3: Interesting point, Dave, thank you very much for your call,

411
00:19:28,813 --> 00:19:29,573
Speaker 3: really appreciate it.

412
00:19:29,693 --> 00:19:33,413
Speaker 2: I mean that the entire problem is that everyone wants

413
00:19:33,413 --> 00:19:35,933
Speaker 2: to go to Queenstown. That is an entire problem. So

414
00:19:36,773 --> 00:19:40,213
Speaker 2: that area is completely ran. People fly in there. We

415
00:19:40,253 --> 00:19:41,773
Speaker 2: need to get them. How do we get them? Oh,

416
00:19:41,773 --> 00:19:44,013
Speaker 2: e one hundred and eighty ten eighty? How do we

417
00:19:44,013 --> 00:19:45,653
Speaker 2: get them to go to other places in the country?

418
00:19:45,653 --> 00:19:48,653
Speaker 2: How do we get them to We've got so it's

419
00:19:48,653 --> 00:19:52,013
Speaker 2: a huge country. There's so much, so many great places

420
00:19:52,053 --> 00:19:54,253
Speaker 2: in this country. How do we get them to go to?

421
00:19:54,773 --> 00:19:56,533
Speaker 2: You know, I know a lot to go to Druya,

422
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:59,773
Speaker 2: that's pretty popular. Yeap gets pretty busy in Topour. But

423
00:20:00,133 --> 00:20:03,133
Speaker 2: there's so many other places in this country. How do

424
00:20:03,173 --> 00:20:03,813
Speaker 2: we get them there?

425
00:20:03,893 --> 00:20:06,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this idea is going to get shot

426
00:20:06,453 --> 00:20:08,572
Speaker 3: down and so be it. But as soon as they

427
00:20:08,573 --> 00:20:11,173
Speaker 3: get off the plane in Auckland, they get given a

428
00:20:11,253 --> 00:20:13,933
Speaker 3: hundred dollars vuture to go and spend in Tapa for example.

429
00:20:14,053 --> 00:20:15,133
Speaker 3: You know, why not? Why not?

430
00:20:15,453 --> 00:20:16,493
Speaker 2: Yeah?

431
00:20:16,573 --> 00:20:18,533
Speaker 3: I know they're flying straight to Queenstown, but get them

432
00:20:18,533 --> 00:20:20,933
Speaker 3: to Auckland and you land there and here's one hundred

433
00:20:20,933 --> 00:20:22,813
Speaker 3: dollars out to go spend somewhere in the North Island.

434
00:20:22,933 --> 00:20:27,213
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, great, Yeah, Well we just need

435
00:20:27,213 --> 00:20:30,133
Speaker 2: to do something right because if you could get you know,

436
00:20:30,213 --> 00:20:32,613
Speaker 2: you've got You've got Queenstown running at capacity, right, and

437
00:20:32,973 --> 00:20:36,413
Speaker 2: you know absolutely what Dave's saying. They're about trying to

438
00:20:36,493 --> 00:20:39,973
Speaker 2: rain people more people down that road. It's pretty punishing,

439
00:20:40,053 --> 00:20:42,813
Speaker 2: and you've got the rate payers of that area covering

440
00:20:42,853 --> 00:20:45,373
Speaker 2: a whole lot of people, are small rate paying population,

441
00:20:45,453 --> 00:20:47,293
Speaker 2: having to deal with all these people coming in and

442
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:49,773
Speaker 2: the damage that they do and the cost of having

443
00:20:49,853 --> 00:20:53,973
Speaker 2: tourists in that area. Right. Yeah, But were's our other

444
00:20:54,053 --> 00:20:55,973
Speaker 2: queens down whether if we could get if we could

445
00:20:55,973 --> 00:20:59,613
Speaker 2: get five more Queenstowns going or ten more Queenstown's going,

446
00:21:00,213 --> 00:21:02,533
Speaker 2: then we could really up our capacity of the amount

447
00:21:02,533 --> 00:21:04,812
Speaker 2: of tourists going and make a lot of more money.

448
00:21:04,853 --> 00:21:07,053
Speaker 2: But how do we do that? And look, you say,

449
00:21:07,093 --> 00:21:10,053
Speaker 2: top War pretty busy down there, It's pretty busy cident

450
00:21:10,093 --> 00:21:12,173
Speaker 2: time of the year. But you need these places to

451
00:21:12,213 --> 00:21:17,013
Speaker 2: be more busy, more sort of evenly busy across the year, yeah,

452
00:21:17,133 --> 00:21:19,453
Speaker 2: rather than just in the summer or winter months. Depending

453
00:21:19,453 --> 00:21:19,973
Speaker 2: where you are.

454
00:21:19,893 --> 00:21:21,933
Speaker 3: Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you're

455
00:21:21,933 --> 00:21:24,053
Speaker 3: in the tourism game, I'd love to hear from you.

456
00:21:24,133 --> 00:21:26,693
Speaker 3: How is it in your area? Is there grizzles about

457
00:21:26,693 --> 00:21:29,493
Speaker 3: the infrastructure and how do we get more tourists and

458
00:21:29,493 --> 00:21:31,693
Speaker 3: spread them evenly around the country at all months of

459
00:21:31,693 --> 00:21:32,213
Speaker 3: the year.

460
00:21:32,093 --> 00:21:35,933
Speaker 2: Because it must annoy some tourists operators when they say,

461
00:21:36,573 --> 00:21:38,532
Speaker 2: when yet they hear people saying that the country's at

462
00:21:38,573 --> 00:21:42,973
Speaker 2: capacity and yet that they're they're they're not completely booked out.

463
00:21:43,293 --> 00:21:45,373
Speaker 2: Because if you're if you're a tourist operator and you're

464
00:21:45,413 --> 00:21:48,933
Speaker 2: not booked out all the time, then from your perspective,

465
00:21:49,013 --> 00:21:50,533
Speaker 2: the country isn't at capacity.

466
00:21:50,613 --> 00:21:52,532

00:23:28,453 --> 00:23:31,133
Speaker 3: capacity in terms of the tourist numbers, so we've got

494

495
00:23:33,413 --> 00:23:37,013

498
00:23:43,533 --> 00:23:46,093
Speaker 2: tourists going are traveling around the country as well, so

499
00:23:46,133 --> 00:23:49,533
Speaker 2: it's a huge, huge business. Obviously, the international tourists is

500
00:23:49,573 --> 00:23:51,173
Speaker 2: an export. They come in and they make us a

501
00:23:51,173 --> 00:23:53,053
Speaker 2: lot of money, so we're very, very excited about that.

502
00:23:53,453 --> 00:23:55,893
Speaker 2: But they seem to be just going to Queenstown primarily. Yep,

503
00:23:56,253 --> 00:23:59,773
Speaker 2: So you know, one hundred and eighty ten eighty. Where

504
00:23:59,813 --> 00:24:02,133
Speaker 2: else should they go in New Zealand? You know, we

505
00:24:02,213 --> 00:24:05,493
Speaker 2: know Rotruer, you know, the Central Plateau's got some fantastic

506
00:24:05,533 --> 00:24:08,653
Speaker 2: spots there, yep. But across the whole country, I mean

507
00:24:08,693 --> 00:24:11,532
Speaker 2: it seems you know, are you an in Vicago? Can

508
00:24:11,573 --> 00:24:12,613
Speaker 2: you get them go down Bluff?

509
00:24:12,853 --> 00:24:14,613
Speaker 3: You know that's not far from Frankton, though, is it?

510
00:24:14,613 --> 00:24:16,973
Speaker 3: If you go from Frankton to Invers, that's that's a

511
00:24:17,013 --> 00:24:17,613
Speaker 3: lovely drive.

512
00:24:17,813 --> 00:24:20,733
Speaker 2: Fly straight into into Auckland. They're flying to toned An Airport.

513
00:24:20,973 --> 00:24:22,773
Speaker 2: I fly to christ Us. A lot of great stuff

514
00:24:23,173 --> 00:24:24,053
Speaker 2: around Canterbury.

515
00:24:24,333 --> 00:24:27,613
Speaker 3: Live In, Yeah, Levin's a great wheetown. Nothing wrong with Levin.

516
00:24:27,613 --> 00:24:28,493
Speaker 3: Get them into live in.

517
00:24:29,613 --> 00:24:34,173
Speaker 2: What is Why is Queenstown so bloody great that everyone

518
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:36,813
Speaker 2: has to go there? What is so amazing about Queenstown

519
00:24:36,813 --> 00:24:38,853
Speaker 2: that we don't have anywhere else in the country.

520
00:24:39,013 --> 00:24:40,693
Speaker 3: It is kind of punishing, now, isn't it. Like I know,

521
00:24:40,773 --> 00:24:43,133
Speaker 3: I get Queenstown's beautiful and they've got the remarkables and

522
00:24:43,173 --> 00:24:45,213
Speaker 3: you can get on the jet boats. But when you

523
00:24:45,293 --> 00:24:48,613
Speaker 3: go down there, as Dave said, that traffic is horrendous.

524
00:24:49,493 --> 00:24:52,493
Speaker 3: The township is kind of constantly just been repaired for

525
00:24:52,533 --> 00:24:53,013
Speaker 3: some reason.

526
00:24:54,213 --> 00:24:58,413
Speaker 2: As someone from Auckland, the traffic in Queenstown is absolutely nothing.

527
00:24:58,533 --> 00:24:59,853
Speaker 2: I don't know if I agree with that, because I

528
00:24:59,853 --> 00:25:02,453
Speaker 2: spent quite a bit of time down in arrow Town

529
00:25:02,253 --> 00:25:08,173
Speaker 2: and the traffic and from Frankton into Queenstown it ain't nothing, No,

530
00:25:09,173 --> 00:25:11,453
Speaker 2: it ain't nothing. Also, you know, there's a kind of

531
00:25:11,493 --> 00:25:13,253
Speaker 2: thing when you're on holiday where you don't want to

532
00:25:13,253 --> 00:25:16,533
Speaker 2: spend the entire holiday just waiting to get into town.

533
00:25:16,813 --> 00:25:19,093
Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, would I very really when

534
00:25:19,093 --> 00:25:21,653
Speaker 2: I'm down that way go into queenstowntown just for that reason?

535
00:25:21,813 --> 00:25:22,013
Speaker 10: Yeah?

536
00:25:22,093 --> 00:25:25,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, Wanneker's nice. I'll tell you one. Golden Bay. Golden

537
00:25:25,893 --> 00:25:27,533
Speaker 3: Bay should be right up the top of that list.

538
00:25:27,893 --> 00:25:30,693
Speaker 3: You need a tunnel through that Tarkaka Hill though, so again,

539
00:25:30,853 --> 00:25:31,613
Speaker 3: there's always a.

540
00:25:31,533 --> 00:25:33,853
Speaker 2: Lot of infrastructure that needs to be built. Geez, Tyler,

541
00:25:33,893 --> 00:25:36,293
Speaker 2: why not a one hundred dollars voucher for Helensville. You

542
00:25:36,333 --> 00:25:39,973
Speaker 2: haven't lived until you've jumped off the Ottawa Road bridge

543
00:25:40,253 --> 00:25:42,653
Speaker 2: at high tide. If you jump out low tide, you'll

544
00:25:42,733 --> 00:25:45,013
Speaker 2: end up in a mangrove up your bum. All right, Okay,

545
00:25:45,253 --> 00:25:47,733
Speaker 2: you go. So that was your suggestion that there should

546
00:25:47,733 --> 00:25:50,413
Speaker 2: be when you when you arrive in Auckland. There's vouchers

547
00:25:50,813 --> 00:25:52,693
Speaker 2: that try and get people to go to different places,

548
00:25:53,413 --> 00:25:55,052
Speaker 2: just just to spread things out a little bit.

549
00:25:55,093 --> 00:25:57,133
Speaker 3: And what would be wrong with that? You know, if

550
00:25:57,173 --> 00:25:59,253
Speaker 3: I've got a hundred dollar vuture to go to Helensville,

551
00:25:59,413 --> 00:26:00,973
Speaker 3: God give it a crack and the mangroves.

552
00:26:01,733 --> 00:26:08,013
Speaker 2: Adrian, Sorry, Adrian, your thoughts on the situation with capacity

553
00:26:08,093 --> 00:26:09,933
Speaker 2: or not tourists in New Zealand.

554
00:26:11,853 --> 00:26:14,653
Speaker 15: So I actually saw someone in Japan the other days.

555
00:26:15,733 --> 00:26:19,213
Speaker 15: Japan have millions and millions of tourists gorings, but they're

556
00:26:19,293 --> 00:26:21,533
Speaker 15: all going to the main centers. So what they're doing

557
00:26:21,573 --> 00:26:26,333
Speaker 15: is they're offering free domestic flights to get them into

558
00:26:26,373 --> 00:26:29,213
Speaker 15: the you know, into the smaller community. You know, if

559
00:26:29,213 --> 00:26:32,093
Speaker 15: we had that community Walkland and say you had a

560
00:26:32,133 --> 00:26:34,973
Speaker 15: free flight to in Chicago's and aid in our christ

561
00:26:35,013 --> 00:26:40,253
Speaker 15: Church or you know, the smaller regional airports that would

562
00:26:40,333 --> 00:26:43,093
Speaker 15: really push because who wouldn't think, oh, yeah, let's go

563
00:26:43,133 --> 00:26:45,613
Speaker 15: to in Chicago, let's get a rental car. Let's start

564
00:26:45,653 --> 00:26:48,453
Speaker 15: at the bottom and work out a way up the country.

565
00:26:48,813 --> 00:26:50,453
Speaker 15: That would be such a good way to do it.

566
00:26:50,453 --> 00:26:52,773
Speaker 15: They're going to save money. And I mean, look, when

567
00:26:52,813 --> 00:26:55,812
Speaker 15: we talk about these flights we are fucking on GRAB one,

568
00:26:55,813 --> 00:26:59,453
Speaker 15: they're only fifty five, sixty dollars, seventy dollars, eighty dollars.

569
00:26:59,653 --> 00:27:01,693
Speaker 15: You know you can get some real good deals. I mean,

570
00:27:01,933 --> 00:27:05,013
Speaker 15: surely the money that we're going to make in the

571
00:27:06,173 --> 00:27:10,253
Speaker 15: outlying areas is going to pay for that two times over.

572
00:27:10,813 --> 00:27:15,333
Speaker 2: Yeah. So say let's just say a flight into Dunedian

573
00:27:15,373 --> 00:27:18,933
Speaker 2: out of Auckland is four hundred bucks each way? Can

574
00:27:18,973 --> 00:27:20,373
Speaker 2: it can be there, But let's just say it's three

575
00:27:20,413 --> 00:27:22,733
Speaker 2: hundred dollars or something like that. So do you think

576
00:27:22,773 --> 00:27:25,653
Speaker 2: as a nation we would make six hundred dollars out

577
00:27:25,693 --> 00:27:29,493
Speaker 2: of that person when they land in Doneda. I'm sure

578
00:27:29,493 --> 00:27:29,853
Speaker 2: we would.

579
00:27:29,933 --> 00:27:35,013
Speaker 15: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, And look I mean it's yeah, I

580
00:27:35,013 --> 00:27:37,453
Speaker 15: mean in New Zealand need to do something to increase

581
00:27:38,373 --> 00:27:40,853
Speaker 15: the setage on their planes, but we know that that's

582
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:44,253
Speaker 15: going to happen, and the government owned fifty one percent

583
00:27:44,293 --> 00:27:46,413
Speaker 15: of it, so they can tell them you need to

584
00:27:46,453 --> 00:27:49,093
Speaker 15: increase your flights to these areas so we can get

585
00:27:49,573 --> 00:27:52,973
Speaker 15: tourist said and chances are you're not going to fly

586
00:27:53,093 --> 00:27:54,133
Speaker 15: out of the same place.

587
00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:55,173
Speaker 12: If you're going to fly.

588
00:27:55,093 --> 00:27:58,773
Speaker 15: Into Dunedo, why wouldn't you hire a car and fly

589
00:27:58,853 --> 00:28:01,733
Speaker 15: out of said shirts? Yeah, or fly out of one

590
00:28:01,773 --> 00:28:04,653
Speaker 15: of the places. Because if you're going to go to Dunedin,

591
00:28:05,053 --> 00:28:07,693
Speaker 15: you know, we've got the beautiful catlands.

592
00:28:07,093 --> 00:28:08,573
Speaker 3: You know, in the Taga.

593
00:28:09,893 --> 00:28:14,453
Speaker 15: Into the Milford Sounds, you know, and then you come back,

594
00:28:14,573 --> 00:28:17,173
Speaker 15: drive up through Queen shown. But you're not going to

595
00:28:17,253 --> 00:28:19,573
Speaker 15: stay for the big amount of time at Queen Shown

596
00:28:19,653 --> 00:28:21,613
Speaker 15: that you are if you fly in and fly out

597
00:28:21,653 --> 00:28:23,973
Speaker 15: of that zone, because you're going to be encouraged to

598
00:28:23,933 --> 00:28:24,733
Speaker 15: do a lot more.

599
00:28:25,013 --> 00:28:27,453
Speaker 2: Do you think that people Adrian make those decisions when

600
00:28:27,493 --> 00:28:30,653
Speaker 2: they land in a country though, do you think or

601
00:28:30,693 --> 00:28:32,213
Speaker 2: do you think you'd have to have that at the

602
00:28:32,453 --> 00:28:35,413
Speaker 2: planning stage? So I guess travel agents or wherever your

603
00:28:35,413 --> 00:28:37,693
Speaker 2: booking would go. Well, you know, if you land in Auckland,

604
00:28:37,813 --> 00:28:40,133
Speaker 2: you will get a free trip to Dunedin and then

605
00:28:40,173 --> 00:28:42,373
Speaker 2: you can maybe get a you know, a rental car

606
00:28:42,373 --> 00:28:44,413
Speaker 2: over to Queenstown or something. They'd have to sell the

607
00:28:44,453 --> 00:28:46,413
Speaker 2: tour in advance because you don't really land and go

608
00:28:46,453 --> 00:28:48,133
Speaker 2: all there's some free frights. I'll just go and see

609
00:28:48,133 --> 00:28:48,973
Speaker 2: what of the cargo's like.

610
00:28:49,013 --> 00:28:51,253
Speaker 6: Do you well?

611
00:28:51,573 --> 00:28:57,253
Speaker 15: I saw on the I mean on the the Japanese

612
00:28:57,253 --> 00:28:59,933
Speaker 15: thing was that it was old on through your bookt

613
00:28:59,973 --> 00:29:03,733
Speaker 15: as long as you booked an international flight and there

614
00:29:03,773 --> 00:29:06,093
Speaker 15: was a code with it. All of your other fights

615
00:29:06,093 --> 00:29:07,693
Speaker 15: a fleet. So if you're doing it on your own

616
00:29:07,733 --> 00:29:10,093
Speaker 15: back right, sort of sit on a map, and I

617
00:29:10,133 --> 00:29:13,813
Speaker 15: mean you work your own little holiday out from there,

618
00:29:14,133 --> 00:29:17,293
Speaker 15: and I mean you're saving all that time you can

619
00:29:17,293 --> 00:29:21,373
Speaker 15: afford to buy a rental a rental car and you know,

620
00:29:21,453 --> 00:29:23,773
Speaker 15: and travel a little bit more. It's just there's a

621
00:29:23,853 --> 00:29:26,813
Speaker 15: lot of I mean, look, queen Sounds nice for about

622
00:29:26,933 --> 00:29:31,493
Speaker 15: two and a half hours every five years. Beyond that,

623
00:29:31,733 --> 00:29:34,133
Speaker 15: I mean, not a lot changes. It's either too hot

624
00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:36,693
Speaker 15: in summer or it's too cold in winter, and there's

625
00:29:36,733 --> 00:29:38,893
Speaker 15: too many people. It takes you two hours to go

626
00:29:38,933 --> 00:29:42,013
Speaker 15: from one side of the little sound to the other,

627
00:29:42,413 --> 00:29:44,093
Speaker 15: and it's the size of a postage.

628
00:29:44,093 --> 00:29:47,733
Speaker 3: Sam tell us that you're really few Adrian, but the

629
00:29:47,853 --> 00:29:51,773
Speaker 3: Japanese deal, how do they determine what towns get the love?

630
00:29:52,413 --> 00:29:52,773
Speaker 3: Do you know?

631
00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:56,733
Speaker 16: So it's all I.

632
00:29:56,653 --> 00:30:00,653
Speaker 15: Think it's the ones that don't have an international airport, right,

633
00:30:00,693 --> 00:30:04,093
Speaker 15: so the work on that basis so, I mean, but

634
00:30:04,293 --> 00:30:08,213
Speaker 15: here we could just have it that if you fly

635
00:30:08,893 --> 00:30:09,533
Speaker 15: you don't get it.

636
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:12,973
Speaker 16: If you're going to go to Auckland or to.

637
00:30:14,453 --> 00:30:17,893
Speaker 15: Queen Shout, so you can fly into Oakland, but you

638
00:30:17,973 --> 00:30:20,813
Speaker 15: can't fly out of the same places. Say you can

639
00:30:20,813 --> 00:30:23,733
Speaker 15: play in and out of Auckland, but you just wouldn't

640
00:30:23,733 --> 00:30:26,373
Speaker 15: get you see flight if you're going to Queen Sunset.

641
00:30:27,093 --> 00:30:29,373
Speaker 2: Hey, but Adrian, who do you think would pay for that?

642
00:30:29,493 --> 00:30:34,453
Speaker 2: Would it be the Dunedan tourism or Dunedian right payers

643
00:30:34,493 --> 00:30:36,893
Speaker 2: that would pay for those flights into the city or

644
00:30:36,973 --> 00:30:38,293
Speaker 2: do you think it's central government?

645
00:30:40,293 --> 00:30:43,173
Speaker 15: I actually think it's the tourist coming in because we

646
00:30:43,333 --> 00:30:48,373
Speaker 15: tax the tourists coming into the country, you know, a

647
00:30:48,413 --> 00:30:50,893
Speaker 15: small amount to come into New Zealand, where we just

648
00:30:50,933 --> 00:30:54,333
Speaker 15: make it a little bit more. And I mean the money,

649
00:30:54,373 --> 00:30:56,973
Speaker 15: the knock on effects from it is going to be huge.

650
00:30:57,293 --> 00:31:00,533
Speaker 15: So the money that they're being into the economy. You know,

651
00:31:00,653 --> 00:31:03,493
Speaker 15: if you have to charge your bed rate or you know,

652
00:31:03,573 --> 00:31:06,733
Speaker 15: there is lots of ways around doing it that the

653
00:31:06,813 --> 00:31:09,653
Speaker 15: New Zealand taxpayer. You wouldn't have to put.

654
00:31:09,453 --> 00:31:13,333
Speaker 2: The bell tax tax everyone that's landing in Queenstown to

655
00:31:13,573 --> 00:31:17,853
Speaker 2: pay for other people to fly into Dunedin, christ Church, Wellington.

656
00:31:18,053 --> 00:31:18,893
Speaker 3: Now that's an idea.

657
00:31:18,973 --> 00:31:20,933
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for your call, Adriana, appreciate that.

658
00:31:21,333 --> 00:31:23,733
Speaker 3: I think by and large I'll be okay with textpayer

659
00:31:23,773 --> 00:31:25,893
Speaker 3: money going into a deal like that. You know, that

660
00:31:25,973 --> 00:31:27,933
Speaker 3: makes sense to me rather than spending how much does

661
00:31:27,933 --> 00:31:30,773
Speaker 3: a one orail cost these days a couple of bill? Yeah?

662
00:31:30,773 --> 00:31:33,333
Speaker 2: Well, well, as long as you could make as long

663
00:31:33,333 --> 00:31:35,093
Speaker 2: as you definitely make the money. So you have to

664
00:31:35,133 --> 00:31:38,773
Speaker 2: lift the capacity, right, Yeah, So if if you're just

665
00:31:38,933 --> 00:31:41,293
Speaker 2: a moving tourist out of Queenstown and paying for it,

666
00:31:41,373 --> 00:31:43,413
Speaker 2: then then we end up just in the exact same

667
00:31:43,493 --> 00:31:44,693
Speaker 2: making the exact same money.

668
00:31:44,773 --> 00:31:45,013
Speaker 9: Right.

669
00:31:45,373 --> 00:31:50,533
Speaker 2: So somehow you have to make these other places attractive

670
00:31:51,133 --> 00:31:53,373
Speaker 2: as well, Right, so you grow the amount of people

671
00:31:53,373 --> 00:31:56,933
Speaker 2: tourists coming. Yeah, you don't just move some from Queenstown.

672
00:31:56,973 --> 00:31:59,773
Speaker 3: You'd have to give Leviny heads up to say, come in,

673
00:32:00,133 --> 00:32:01,933
Speaker 3: get ready, live in, lift your game.

674
00:32:02,173 --> 00:32:04,493
Speaker 2: What do you got? What do you got that matches

675
00:32:04,533 --> 00:32:05,973
Speaker 2: the remarkables.

676
00:32:05,333 --> 00:32:07,573
Speaker 3: Great dog parks and live in oh eight one hundred

677
00:32:08,053 --> 00:32:10,253
Speaker 3: eighty is the number to call this Texas says, don't

678
00:32:10,253 --> 00:32:11,533
Speaker 3: forget about Tartanaki.

679
00:32:11,853 --> 00:32:16,373
Speaker 2: It's like no other Yeah, I mean Mount Taranaki beautiful

680
00:32:16,453 --> 00:32:19,893
Speaker 2: absolutely all right? Okay, waite hundred eighty ten eighty. Where

681
00:32:19,893 --> 00:32:21,773
Speaker 2: are should tourists go in New Zealand? How can we

682
00:32:21,813 --> 00:32:24,413
Speaker 2: shift them around? And do you want to get right

683
00:32:24,453 --> 00:32:26,653
Speaker 2: back up to capacity where eighty five percent of the

684
00:32:26,693 --> 00:32:29,213
Speaker 2: capacity that we were in twenty nineteen? Do you want

685
00:32:29,213 --> 00:32:30,773
Speaker 2: to wrap that up to one hundred or have we

686
00:32:30,813 --> 00:32:32,133
Speaker 2: not got enough room for the tourists?

687
00:32:34,213 --> 00:32:37,853
Speaker 1: Matty Tyler Adams with you as your afternoon rolls on

688
00:32:38,013 --> 00:32:41,973

Speaker 1: to detail and a commitment to comfort news talk Sai'd.

690
00:32:44,973 --> 00:32:48,813
Speaker 3: Be thirteen to two. The tex machine has gone crazy.

691
00:32:49,053 --> 00:32:51,573
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we were suggesting, you know, all the tourists

692
00:32:51,573 --> 00:32:54,013
Speaker 2: go to Queenstown. That's causing problems for them. They think

693
00:32:54,013 --> 00:32:57,573
Speaker 2: they're getting close to capacity. Meanwhile, a lot of other

694
00:32:57,613 --> 00:33:01,173
Speaker 2: places wouldn't mind making a bit of money. We other

695
00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:03,333
Speaker 2: places got room on their roads for a few more tourists.

696
00:33:03,413 --> 00:33:06,173
Speaker 2: Kathman says, Raglan is my pick. Yeah, Raglan. What a

697
00:33:06,253 --> 00:33:09,893
Speaker 2: fantastic spot that is. Hey, guys, I worked as a

Speaker 2: tour guide for ten years out of We don't need

699
00:33:13,333 --> 00:33:16,573
Speaker 2: more numbers until we sought out infrastructure, namely toilets and

700
00:33:16,613 --> 00:33:19,813
Speaker 2: popular spots. Embarrassing to stop, get out of van and

701
00:33:19,853 --> 00:33:23,813
Speaker 2: look down at the defication. It's not okay, says Rick.

702
00:33:23,973 --> 00:33:28,773
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, this person says, being born and growing up

704
00:33:31,933 --> 00:33:33,893

00:33:33,933 --> 00:33:35,053
Speaker 2: car and go somewhere else. O.

706
00:33:35,253 --> 00:33:38,053
Speaker 3: Come on, you can't say that about Vers.

707
00:33:38,173 --> 00:33:40,293
Speaker 2: Can't say that Invers. I've seen a lot of my

708
00:33:40,373 --> 00:33:44,653
Speaker 2: childhood in Vericago, Woodhouse Street, Mumpowell, that was my grandmar Yeah.

709
00:33:44,653 --> 00:33:46,693
Speaker 3: I had some great nights out in Vicogol.

710
00:33:46,293 --> 00:33:49,813
Speaker 2: Bluff spectacular down Bluff Way. And you've got to you

711
00:33:49,813 --> 00:33:51,653
Speaker 2: haven't lived till you spent some time in the Catlands.

712
00:33:51,653 --> 00:33:56,653
Speaker 3: Oh Catland. See yeah, stop it, yeah this one sees guys.

713
00:33:56,693 --> 00:33:58,773
Speaker 3: If New Zealand wants high end tourists, then it has

714
00:33:58,813 --> 00:34:02,373
Speaker 3: to take many pages out of Las Vega. Las Vegas

715
00:34:02,413 --> 00:34:06,573
Speaker 3: casino tourist attraction branding and attractions. Oh yeah, free fly

Speaker 3: in and out, international, exclusion of flights behind tourist, exclusive

717
00:34:10,213 --> 00:34:13,292
Speaker 3: lodgers and more casinos in New Zealand. Well, it's one

718
00:34:13,293 --> 00:34:13,852
Speaker 3: way to do it.

719
00:34:13,933 --> 00:34:17,973
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean that's the thing. Queenstown natural beauty,

720
00:34:18,053 --> 00:34:21,133
Speaker 2: but it's got a great night life. So people go there,

721
00:34:21,493 --> 00:34:23,893
Speaker 2: stay in nice hotels. They've got all these different things,

722
00:34:23,893 --> 00:34:26,413
Speaker 2: adventure tourism. They can go skiing, they do all the

723
00:34:26,453 --> 00:34:28,413
Speaker 2: stuff they can look at and cruel stuff. But then

724
00:34:28,453 --> 00:34:31,973
Speaker 2: they can go out and get absolutely rinsed in town.

725
00:34:32,253 --> 00:34:36,893
Speaker 2: So to really be a massive tourist mecha, you also

726
00:34:36,973 --> 00:34:39,293
Speaker 2: have to bring the party. Yeah, you know, I'm looking

727
00:34:39,333 --> 00:34:40,773
Speaker 2: at you live and if you want to step up,

728
00:34:40,813 --> 00:34:41,893
Speaker 2: you're going to have to bring the party.

729
00:34:41,893 --> 00:34:43,652
Speaker 3: And if the cargo, if you get a casino, I'll

730
00:34:43,653 --> 00:34:45,173
Speaker 3: be down there pretty fast.

731
00:34:46,493 --> 00:34:46,853
Speaker 17: I don't know.

732
00:34:46,853 --> 00:34:48,893
Speaker 2: If you've been to Duneedan casino, that's a good time.

733
00:34:48,973 --> 00:34:49,172
Speaker 8: Yeah.

734
00:34:49,373 --> 00:34:51,973
Speaker 3: Eight d eighty is the number to call.

735
00:34:52,533 --> 00:34:52,853
Speaker 2: Blair.

736
00:34:52,893 --> 00:34:55,853
Speaker 10: Your thoughts on this, Oh, I've got lots of thoughts

737
00:34:55,853 --> 00:34:56,853
Speaker 10: on this, to be honest with you.

738
00:34:56,973 --> 00:34:57,253
Speaker 3: Great.

739
00:34:58,173 --> 00:35:00,893
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, the old made Adrian was a little bit

740
00:35:00,973 --> 00:35:03,013
Speaker 10: right when he was talking about taxing, but what you

741
00:35:03,053 --> 00:35:06,212
Speaker 10: need is a bed tax in the local town that's

742
00:35:06,213 --> 00:35:10,133
Speaker 10: spent in the local area on infrastructure to bring it

743
00:35:10,173 --> 00:35:12,732
Speaker 10: back up and get it up to speed for what's

744
00:35:12,773 --> 00:35:14,773
Speaker 10: going on around the place. The problem with Queenstown is

745
00:35:14,813 --> 00:35:19,893
Speaker 10: that it just can't cope, and generally it's a I

746
00:35:19,973 --> 00:35:23,293
Speaker 10: blame the central government for everything that goes on down here, really,

747
00:35:24,213 --> 00:35:25,613
Speaker 10: and the fact of the matter is that they can't

748
00:35:25,613 --> 00:35:27,692
Speaker 10: make up their mind what they want. I mean, Queenstown's

749
00:35:27,773 --> 00:35:32,173
Speaker 10: the Golden Goose, so to speak, but we're slowly strangling it, so,

750
00:35:32,533 --> 00:35:36,093
Speaker 10: you know, and eventually we'll get a bad reputation and

751
00:35:36,213 --> 00:35:38,013
Speaker 10: people won't want to come here because they can't go

752
00:35:38,013 --> 00:35:40,413
Speaker 10: anywhere because they come out, they land and they get

753
00:35:40,453 --> 00:35:43,813
Speaker 10: stuck in traffic. So at the end of the day,

754
00:35:43,853 --> 00:35:46,573
Speaker 10: I think that the government can't make up its mind

755
00:35:46,613 --> 00:35:49,213
Speaker 10: what it wants to do, because on one hand, we

756
00:35:49,293 --> 00:35:51,333
Speaker 10: want to build more subdivisions and we want to put

757
00:35:51,373 --> 00:35:54,373
Speaker 10: more people, local people into the town, but we also

758
00:35:54,453 --> 00:35:56,613
Speaker 10: want to build up the tourists that are coming in

759
00:35:56,613 --> 00:35:58,813
Speaker 10: here because everybody wants to come here. But we're not

760
00:35:58,853 --> 00:36:01,652
Speaker 10: actually doing anything about the roading around the place or

761
00:36:01,653 --> 00:36:06,533
Speaker 10: the even the you know, the the sewage treatment plants

762
00:36:06,573 --> 00:36:07,693
Speaker 10: and all that sort of theirret.

763
00:36:08,053 --> 00:36:11,093
Speaker 2: What could did you do about the roating just geographically?

764
00:36:11,133 --> 00:36:13,293
Speaker 2: I was talking about this before getting in and out

765
00:36:13,293 --> 00:36:16,373
Speaker 2: of Queenstown. You've really only got one way in, don't you,

766
00:36:16,413 --> 00:36:18,493
Speaker 2: unless you build as was suggested for some kind of

767
00:36:18,493 --> 00:36:19,413
Speaker 2: gondola situation.

768
00:36:20,093 --> 00:36:22,413
Speaker 10: Well, the funny thing about the gondola is it was

769
00:36:22,973 --> 00:36:26,453
Speaker 10: one of the major gondala company that offer to build

770
00:36:26,693 --> 00:36:30,693
Speaker 10: a gondola at no cost, but they read the rewards

771
00:36:30,693 --> 00:36:32,293
Speaker 10: of the tickets at self, tickets and so on and

772
00:36:32,413 --> 00:36:35,133
Speaker 10: so forth. That was you know, I can talk them

773
00:36:35,333 --> 00:36:37,533
Speaker 10: edited the two hundred and fifty million dollar exercise, but

774
00:36:38,013 --> 00:36:41,413
Speaker 10: they kind of landed on the is a little bit,

775
00:36:41,493 --> 00:36:46,373
Speaker 10: to be fair, and MZTA decided in their infinite wisdom

776
00:36:46,413 --> 00:36:48,853
Speaker 10: to build a two hundred and fifty million dollar roundabout

777
00:36:49,173 --> 00:36:55,453
Speaker 10: the BP, which won't fix anything. You know, the whole

778
00:36:55,453 --> 00:36:58,933
Speaker 10: thing is just crazy. So central government is part of

779
00:36:58,973 --> 00:37:01,613
Speaker 10: the problem down here, and what we need to do

780
00:37:01,653 --> 00:37:03,373
Speaker 10: is probably take it more into the council and have

781
00:37:03,493 --> 00:37:07,133
Speaker 10: more local solutions because they understand what's going on around

782
00:37:07,133 --> 00:37:10,893
Speaker 10: the place. So you know, big taxes, a little bit

783
00:37:10,933 --> 00:37:15,813
Speaker 10: more funding and maybe you know, essentral government funding that says, Okay,

784
00:37:15,853 --> 00:37:17,973
Speaker 10: what's the best use of this money, because you know,

785
00:37:17,973 --> 00:37:19,893
Speaker 10: they built around about and they put traffic lights and

786
00:37:19,933 --> 00:37:21,893
Speaker 10: all that sort of stuff whilst acknowledging the fact that

787
00:37:21,933 --> 00:37:23,453
Speaker 10: it isn't going to make a bit of difference. So

788
00:37:24,133 --> 00:37:27,293
Speaker 10: in my mind it staggers me and I don't understand

789
00:37:27,693 --> 00:37:29,533
Speaker 10: how we can come to these conclusions and how we

790
00:37:29,573 --> 00:37:30,893
Speaker 10: do the things we do down here.

791
00:37:30,973 --> 00:37:33,453
Speaker 2: Because I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what a

792
00:37:33,653 --> 00:37:36,252
Speaker 2: gondola and like I'm sure some people would complain about

793
00:37:36,253 --> 00:37:40,013
Speaker 2: the way it locks and a complicated thing. But if

794
00:37:40,053 --> 00:37:42,613
Speaker 2: you had a gondola that went basically from Franklin from

795
00:37:42,653 --> 00:37:44,373
Speaker 2: the airport, you go to the gondola and that takes

796
00:37:44,413 --> 00:37:47,252
Speaker 2: you into the city, that would be an incredible way

797
00:37:47,413 --> 00:37:51,693
Speaker 2: to enter Queenstown. That would be phenomenally beautiful.

798
00:37:52,533 --> 00:37:55,173
Speaker 10: Absolutely, and don't forget that. You know that technology and

799
00:37:55,173 --> 00:37:59,293
Speaker 10: stuff is absolutely second to none nowadays. You can have

800
00:37:59,893 --> 00:38:02,613
Speaker 10: you know, terminals that drop into different places, you can

801
00:38:02,613 --> 00:38:04,493
Speaker 10: put corners and them, you can do all sorts.

802
00:38:05,253 --> 00:38:09,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you so much, you think so much

803
00:38:09,133 --> 00:38:11,573
Speaker 2: for your call there, Blair really appreciate that.

804
00:38:12,413 --> 00:38:14,613
Speaker 3: Yeah, gondola going from Franklin to Queenston. As you say

805
00:38:14,653 --> 00:38:16,973
Speaker 3: that would be stunning, that would get me down to Queenstown.

806
00:38:17,133 --> 00:38:21,773
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well it's beautiful down there and yeah,

807
00:38:21,813 --> 00:38:24,093
Speaker 2: but I mean that's I think the whole thing is

808
00:38:24,133 --> 00:38:27,293
Speaker 2: that Queen's down is beautiful and you can party there

809
00:38:27,733 --> 00:38:29,973
Speaker 2: and that's what brings in a lot of Australians and

810
00:38:29,973 --> 00:38:32,613
Speaker 2: a lot of young people. Right, So we need places

811
00:38:32,613 --> 00:38:34,333
Speaker 2: that are beautiful that people can party at. Do you

812
00:38:34,653 --> 00:38:37,413
Speaker 2: where are they? One hundred and eighteen eighty nineteen nine

813
00:38:37,453 --> 00:38:38,333
Speaker 2: two is the text number.

814
00:38:39,893 --> 00:38:43,533
Speaker 1: Mattith Taylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred and

815
00:38:43,533 --> 00:38:47,133
Speaker 1: eighty ten eighty Matten Taylor afternoons with the Volvo XC

816
00:38:47,253 --> 00:38:51,652
Speaker 1: ninety tick every box, a seamless experience awaits news talks, NB.

817
00:38:52,853 --> 00:38:57,093
Speaker 3: News talks THEREB it is four to two. A few

818
00:38:57,253 --> 00:39:00,093
Speaker 3: ticks to wrap this all up. Plenty of suggestions about

819
00:39:00,133 --> 00:39:02,773
Speaker 3: where the next Queenstown should be in New Zealand. Mata Matza,

820
00:39:03,173 --> 00:39:05,373
Speaker 3: Munga Phi is a party town, certainly.

821
00:39:05,133 --> 00:39:07,133
Speaker 2: Is well, there's good times up there.

822
00:39:07,213 --> 00:39:12,053
Speaker 3: Yeah, it Golden Bay, yes, but the Tarkaka Hill would

823
00:39:12,093 --> 00:39:12,813
Speaker 3: be a problem.

824
00:39:13,253 --> 00:39:15,333
Speaker 2: I've had some good times on Tall as well.

825
00:39:15,493 --> 00:39:19,453
Speaker 3: I've had some messes haven't they. And this one sees Nelson.

826
00:39:19,493 --> 00:39:21,533
Speaker 2: Yeah, Nelson's all right, Yeah, Nelson's a pretty good place.

827
00:39:21,613 --> 00:39:21,813
Speaker 18: Yeah.

828
00:39:21,933 --> 00:39:25,213
Speaker 2: So tourism earnings are up to sixteen point nine billion,

829
00:39:25,493 --> 00:39:29,493
Speaker 2: but only eighty five percent of the tourists coming in

830
00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:31,493
Speaker 2: as we were last time we made that much money.

831
00:39:31,973 --> 00:39:34,493
Speaker 2: We probably need to do something about infrastructure if we

832
00:39:34,533 --> 00:39:36,453
Speaker 2: want to get that up to one hundred percent. One

833
00:39:36,533 --> 00:39:39,013
Speaker 2: hundred and ten percent and rarely make some money off

834
00:39:39,053 --> 00:39:41,053
Speaker 2: our tourists. Fleees them fleeesome.

835
00:39:41,693 --> 00:39:44,613
Speaker 3: Great chat, thank you very much. Right after two o'clock,

836
00:39:44,693 --> 00:39:48,813
Speaker 3: let's have a chat about ird potentially targeting the backbone

Speaker 3: company as always so Inland revenue is setting at sites

845
00:40:17,973 --> 00:40:22,692
Speaker 3: on taxing nine thousand club societies and other not for

846
00:40:22,933 --> 00:40:27,573
Speaker 3: profits under changes that could be implemented. To chat about

847
00:40:27,573 --> 00:40:31,253
Speaker 3: this further, we're joined by independent tax specialist Jeff Nightingale,

848
00:40:31,293 --> 00:40:34,253
Speaker 3: who's on the line now, Cheff, very good afternoon to you.

849
00:40:35,133 --> 00:40:35,893
Speaker 17: Good afternoon.

850
00:40:36,613 --> 00:40:40,213
Speaker 2: Hey, So Jeff, how does tax on clubs and societies

851
00:40:40,253 --> 00:40:40,933
Speaker 2: currently work?

852
00:40:42,293 --> 00:40:47,493
Speaker 17: Yes, at the moment they have one thousand dollars tax

853
00:40:47,533 --> 00:40:51,813
Speaker 17: free threshold for interest income you know, from investments and things.

854
00:40:52,293 --> 00:40:55,813
Speaker 17: But all of their transactions with their members, subscriptions, in

855
00:40:56,133 --> 00:40:59,692
Speaker 17: any trading amongst the members that they generally have been

856
00:40:59,733 --> 00:41:02,973
Speaker 17: seen to be not taxable tax free because they are

857
00:41:03,053 --> 00:41:05,653
Speaker 17: mutual transactions. They're not about making a profit, but just

858
00:41:05,693 --> 00:41:09,813
Speaker 17: about sharing the costs around, you know, around the members.

859
00:41:09,893 --> 00:41:11,453
Speaker 10: And so it's.

860
00:41:11,333 --> 00:41:14,973
Speaker 17: That that ideas suggesting might have to change.

861
00:41:15,253 --> 00:41:19,133
Speaker 2: So we're talking subs at a bowling club for example.

862
00:41:20,693 --> 00:41:22,013
Speaker 10: Yeah, probably not a bowling club.

863
00:41:22,133 --> 00:41:25,933
Speaker 17: So there is a specific exemption for pure sporting amateur

864
00:41:25,933 --> 00:41:29,253
Speaker 17: sporting bodies. We're talking maybe.

865
00:41:28,973 --> 00:41:30,253
Speaker 10: Subs at a bridge club.

866
00:41:30,773 --> 00:41:36,293
Speaker 17: We're talking contributions to your local residents association, body, corporate,

867
00:41:37,733 --> 00:41:43,293
Speaker 17: you know, a myriad of you know, non profit making

868
00:41:44,293 --> 00:41:48,013
Speaker 17: mutual associations where people organize themselves together and share the costs.

869
00:41:48,413 --> 00:41:50,973
Speaker 2: Right, so you could say, like on the on the

870
00:41:51,013 --> 00:41:53,493
Speaker 2: most sort of lowest level of it, even though they

871
00:41:53,493 --> 00:41:56,013
Speaker 2: are a great time, especially when they're up in a nightclub.

872
00:41:56,253 --> 00:41:58,453
Speaker 2: But say you're running a book club with your friends,

873
00:41:58,613 --> 00:42:01,013
Speaker 2: and you will put some money into the book club,

874
00:42:01,573 --> 00:42:03,652
Speaker 2: the i D thinks it should take some of that.

875
00:42:04,933 --> 00:42:10,053
Speaker 17: Well, yes, But more to that, what's happened is that

876
00:42:10,093 --> 00:42:14,253
Speaker 17: they've reached an interpretation internally that changes their view of

877
00:42:14,293 --> 00:42:19,493
Speaker 17: the law, and that changes the view from those subscriptions

878
00:42:19,733 --> 00:42:22,493
Speaker 17: or levees were non taxable, and now they're saying it's

879
00:42:22,493 --> 00:42:25,933
Speaker 17: possible that they're taxable, and so now they're consulting on

880
00:42:25,973 --> 00:42:28,853
Speaker 17: that before they change their view. Formally, they're saying, hey,

881
00:42:28,893 --> 00:42:30,533
Speaker 17: what does everyone think about this? And I think the

882
00:42:30,573 --> 00:42:32,973
Speaker 17: answer is we don't like change.

883
00:42:32,853 --> 00:42:34,453
Speaker 12: And we want to stay with the status quiet.

884
00:42:35,693 --> 00:42:38,573
Speaker 17: But I mean, I think to be fair, the subtext

885
00:42:38,653 --> 00:42:41,053
Speaker 17: is they are collecting evidence to go back to the

886
00:42:41,053 --> 00:42:43,093
Speaker 17: Ministry of Revenue and say, we don't want to make

887
00:42:43,133 --> 00:42:47,213
Speaker 17: this change. Here's a whole bunch of reasons on our consultation,

888
00:42:47,373 --> 00:42:50,213
Speaker 17: so let's tweak the law so we don't have to

889
00:42:50,213 --> 00:42:52,013
Speaker 17: make this change. I think that's what's happening.

890
00:42:52,533 --> 00:42:57,413
Speaker 2: And is this looking at churches and businesses like sanitarium

891
00:42:57,413 --> 00:43:02,373
Speaker 2: for example, is this under this whole scope of this investigation.

892
00:43:03,133 --> 00:43:05,893
Speaker 10: Yes, that's right. So we were expecting.

893
00:43:07,333 --> 00:43:11,813
Speaker 17: A discussion document on the taxation of charitable businesses and

894
00:43:12,173 --> 00:43:15,733
Speaker 17: that's the sanitariums and others of this world. Tacked onto

895
00:43:15,733 --> 00:43:18,533
Speaker 17: that was a chapter dealing with this not for profit,

896
00:43:18,573 --> 00:43:21,133
Speaker 17: so that that caught us by surprise. So we were

897
00:43:21,173 --> 00:43:24,053
Speaker 17: expecting the government to do some work on whether they

898
00:43:24,053 --> 00:43:26,893
Speaker 17: should tax the business operations of charities.

899
00:43:28,333 --> 00:43:32,773
Speaker 3: The unintended consequences of changes to tax legislation and it

900
00:43:32,813 --> 00:43:34,893
Speaker 3: worries me when they are you know, they change their

901
00:43:34,933 --> 00:43:38,533
Speaker 3: interpretation of the law. For most people, you'd think the

902
00:43:38,613 --> 00:43:41,973
Speaker 3: law is the law and interpretation shouldn't come into it.

903
00:43:42,053 --> 00:43:45,813
Speaker 3: Is that just the complexity when there are changes to

904
00:43:46,053 --> 00:43:47,973
Speaker 3: these particular tax laws.

905
00:43:48,853 --> 00:43:49,973
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're absolutely right.

906
00:43:50,053 --> 00:43:54,813
Speaker 17: Certainty of tax law is an important thing and changes

907
00:43:54,853 --> 00:43:59,652
Speaker 17: are very unsettling and to be avoided. Sometimes it's unavoidable.

908
00:43:59,733 --> 00:44:03,373
Speaker 17: And you know, I've advised many clubs and associations over

909
00:44:03,413 --> 00:44:06,613
Speaker 17: the years and we've always dealt with it in the

910
00:44:06,613 --> 00:44:09,773
Speaker 17: way that I had accepted. And so this change is

911
00:44:09,773 --> 00:44:15,253
Speaker 17: a surprise and creates uncertainty. I think IOD in their

912
00:44:15,333 --> 00:44:19,093
Speaker 17: own way attempting to cure it, but at the moment

913
00:44:19,493 --> 00:44:22,133
Speaker 17: we are left with uncertainty if you are the treasurer

914
00:44:22,613 --> 00:44:24,693
Speaker 17: of a club or a little association.

915
00:44:26,453 --> 00:44:28,652
Speaker 2: So just to make this clear because I'm a little

916
00:44:28,653 --> 00:44:31,093
Speaker 2: bit confused on that. So they're planning to target around

917
00:44:31,173 --> 00:44:34,413
Speaker 2: nine thousand clubs. What's the difference between a club, a society,

918
00:44:34,493 --> 00:44:35,692
Speaker 2: and a trade association.

919
00:44:37,093 --> 00:44:44,253
Speaker 17: Well, they might be formed under different laws like incorporated

920
00:44:44,253 --> 00:44:49,653
Speaker 17: societies or not. They might just be unincorporated. The unifying

921
00:44:49,693 --> 00:44:52,573
Speaker 17: factor is they're not about making a profit. So if

922
00:44:52,613 --> 00:44:55,333
Speaker 17: you think of the Bridge Club, the Bridge Club is

923
00:44:55,373 --> 00:44:58,173
Speaker 17: about helping people play bridge. If you think about the

924
00:44:58,213 --> 00:45:01,133
Speaker 17: Residents Association, it's as a voice for the residents. So

925
00:45:01,133 --> 00:45:04,493
Speaker 17: they're not about making profits, and they share their costs

926
00:45:04,573 --> 00:45:08,212
Speaker 17: amongst the members. That's how they operate. And so that's

927
00:45:08,533 --> 00:45:11,533
Speaker 17: that's the nine thousand and some of these very big

928
00:45:11,573 --> 00:45:13,293
Speaker 17: So if you think about a trade union, that's an

929
00:45:13,293 --> 00:45:16,533
Speaker 17: association that's not about making a profit, it's about members.

930
00:45:16,533 --> 00:45:22,732
Speaker 17: But and some of the Professional Association's trade associations could

931
00:45:22,733 --> 00:45:24,733
Speaker 17: be caught up in all of this, So there is

932
00:45:24,773 --> 00:45:28,133
Speaker 17: a big issue. It has up to now been a

933
00:45:28,253 --> 00:45:31,172
Speaker 17: very settled area of tax law, and they've kind of

934
00:45:32,013 --> 00:45:34,773
Speaker 17: thrown the cat amongst the pigeons but I think the

935
00:45:34,813 --> 00:45:37,093
Speaker 17: purpose of the discussion document is to try and find

936
00:45:37,293 --> 00:45:38,933
Speaker 17: good reasons to fix the problems.

937
00:45:39,613 --> 00:45:43,133
Speaker 2: We're talking to independent tax specialists. Jeff Nightingale, So you

938
00:45:43,173 --> 00:45:46,573
Speaker 2: said before that there's different provisions for a sports club,

939
00:45:46,933 --> 00:45:49,973
Speaker 2: and you see it might be different from a sports

940
00:45:49,973 --> 00:45:52,933
Speaker 2: club as opposed to a bridge club. Is that correct?

941
00:45:53,533 --> 00:45:53,772
Speaker 10: Yes?

942
00:45:53,853 --> 00:45:57,773
Speaker 17: Yeah, So there is a specific tax exemption for the

943
00:45:57,773 --> 00:46:02,133
Speaker 17: promotion of amateur sport and that's been there for years

944
00:46:03,893 --> 00:46:07,212
Speaker 17: and there's no suggestion that that's going to change, that's

945
00:46:07,213 --> 00:46:11,093
Speaker 17: not being mentioned. So so that should take out all

946
00:46:11,133 --> 00:46:14,733
Speaker 17: of the sports clubs that the pure sports clubs you

947
00:46:14,813 --> 00:46:19,053
Speaker 17: do get into definitional the challenges of what's the sport

948
00:46:19,133 --> 00:46:19,733
Speaker 17: and what.

949
00:46:19,533 --> 00:46:22,413
Speaker 2: I'm going to say, so because because someone might say bridge,

950
00:46:23,053 --> 00:46:25,813
Speaker 2: you know, is kind of a sport. Is chess considered

951
00:46:25,813 --> 00:46:26,173
Speaker 2: a sport?

952
00:46:26,853 --> 00:46:27,333
Speaker 3: Bingo?

953
00:46:27,573 --> 00:46:31,693
Speaker 17: That's on the line exactly, Yeah, walking ringo?

954
00:46:31,853 --> 00:46:32,413
Speaker 4: Yeah.

955
00:46:32,453 --> 00:46:34,213
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, well I've got kids that try and

956
00:46:34,253 --> 00:46:37,373
Speaker 2: claim that Fortnite is a sport.

957
00:46:39,333 --> 00:46:41,253
Speaker 3: Jeff, thank you very much for having.

958
00:46:41,893 --> 00:46:44,053
Speaker 2: Just before we go, Do do you think that seriously

959
00:46:44,093 --> 00:46:46,373
Speaker 2: in this in this look that things like I guess,

960
00:46:46,493 --> 00:46:50,493
Speaker 2: musical clubs, you know, pastime clubs, motor clubs. I'm just

961
00:46:50,653 --> 00:46:54,093
Speaker 2: pulling clubs out of my court. That would that would

962
00:46:54,133 --> 00:46:56,293
Speaker 2: be that would seem terrible to me, because because in

963
00:46:56,293 --> 00:46:59,172
Speaker 2: my opinion that clubs. We need more clubs, We need

964
00:46:59,213 --> 00:47:01,333
Speaker 2: more people in the community getting out and getting together.

965
00:47:01,413 --> 00:47:04,493
Speaker 2: And I feel very sorry. I see club houses, I

966
00:47:04,493 --> 00:47:07,333
Speaker 2: see people trying to organize these things, and there's a

967
00:47:07,373 --> 00:47:09,293
Speaker 2: lot of stress on these peop but everyone's really really

968
00:47:09,293 --> 00:47:11,973
Speaker 2: busy and they're trying to put these things together that

969
00:47:12,013 --> 00:47:14,732
Speaker 2: are good for the community, and I would just hate

970
00:47:14,773 --> 00:47:18,613
Speaker 2: to see another level of admin or another level of

971
00:47:18,693 --> 00:47:21,093
Speaker 2: difficulty put on these people to the point where they

972
00:47:21,133 --> 00:47:22,293
Speaker 2: just throw up their hands in the air and go,

973
00:47:22,453 --> 00:47:23,773
Speaker 2: I can't be bother doing this anymore.

974
00:47:24,613 --> 00:47:28,733
Speaker 17: I completely agree, but I also suspect that I do

975
00:47:28,853 --> 00:47:31,213
Speaker 17: agree with you, and they're trying to get enough feedback

976
00:47:31,253 --> 00:47:34,172
Speaker 17: to go back to the Minister of Revenue and say, hey,

977
00:47:34,173 --> 00:47:36,573
Speaker 17: this isn't a good idea to make this change.

978
00:47:36,613 --> 00:47:39,973
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is my feedback. It's not a good idea.

979
00:47:40,693 --> 00:47:43,533
Speaker 2: There's a feedback from you write your submission, yeah, yeah,

980
00:47:43,613 --> 00:47:45,853
Speaker 2: and look, you can have your feedback on this. On

981
00:47:45,973 --> 00:47:48,293
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine

982
00:47:48,333 --> 00:47:51,453
Speaker 2: two and also write a submission, Hey, thank you so much.

983
00:47:51,573 --> 00:47:55,293
Speaker 2: That was Independent tax specialist Jeff Nightingale.

00:47:55,853 --> 00:47:56,493
Speaker 3: Thanks Jeff.

985
00:47:57,453 --> 00:47:58,213
Speaker 17: Nowhere is Andrews.

Speaker 3: Thank you all right? Oh eight hundred and eighty ten

987
00:48:01,013 --> 00:48:03,373
Speaker 3: eighty is the number to call. The text machine has

988
00:48:03,573 --> 00:48:05,813
Speaker 3: blowing up. How do you feel about this? How do

989
00:48:05,813 --> 00:48:09,333
Speaker 3: you feel about ID potentially coming for your belo Bridge Club,

990
00:48:09,733 --> 00:48:13,093
Speaker 3: the Cosy Club, the Clearly and I know Iris paid

991
00:48:13,253 --> 00:48:15,053
Speaker 3: some Texas, right, but.

992
00:48:15,533 --> 00:48:20,213
Speaker 2: Your musical club, yeah, you know, your banned, your Residents Association,

993
00:48:20,453 --> 00:48:25,053
Speaker 2: your book club. It does seem you know, I mean,

994
00:48:25,293 --> 00:48:27,053
Speaker 2: I just think that that thing and actually I'll talk

995
00:48:27,093 --> 00:48:29,893
Speaker 2: about it. I interviewed this guy called Max Dickens who

996
00:48:29,973 --> 00:48:32,333
Speaker 2: wrote this book called Billy Nomades, and it's about the

997
00:48:33,213 --> 00:48:36,773
Speaker 2: loneliness crisis that's hitting the Western world and people just

998
00:48:36,813 --> 00:48:38,893
Speaker 2: being stuck in their homes and there's ability for people

999
00:48:38,973 --> 00:48:41,453
Speaker 2: not to go out and in at all. And there's

1000
00:48:41,493 --> 00:48:44,453
Speaker 2: some claims that that loneliness can be as bad for

1001
00:48:44,493 --> 00:48:46,253
Speaker 2: you as fifteen cigarettes a day. I'm not sure if

1002
00:48:46,293 --> 00:48:48,253
Speaker 2: I believe that, but there's there's there's claims in an

1003
00:48:48,453 --> 00:48:51,893
Speaker 2: UK study that came up with that. So everything we

1004
00:48:51,933 --> 00:48:54,653
Speaker 2: can do in the community, to make it easier to

1005
00:48:54,733 --> 00:48:59,213
Speaker 2: run clubs and societies and opportunities for people to get

1006
00:48:59,253 --> 00:49:02,373
Speaker 2: together and do something productive. I think we should. We

1007
00:49:02,413 --> 00:49:05,773
Speaker 2: should do everything we can to grease the wheels to

1008
00:49:05,773 --> 00:49:06,853
Speaker 2: make those kind of things happen.

1009
00:49:06,973 --> 00:49:10,253
Speaker 3: Absolutely, if you're involved in these club societies or other

1010
00:49:10,253 --> 00:49:12,013
Speaker 3: than not for profits, love to hear from you. Well,

1011
00:49:12,053 --> 00:49:14,773
Speaker 3: how much hours do you put into it? If you're treasurer,

1012
00:49:14,813 --> 00:49:16,692
Speaker 3: if you're part of the committee, if you just go

1013
00:49:16,773 --> 00:49:19,533
Speaker 3: down there and mow the lawns and take park, love

1014
00:49:19,533 --> 00:49:20,053
Speaker 3: to hear from.

1016
00:49:22,293 --> 00:49:23,772
Speaker 2: of a free plug in for your club.

Speaker 3: Wow, that's so hang.

Speaker 2: On six dollar big bots.

1033
00:50:16,013 --> 00:50:17,573
Speaker 3: What's a big bot? Is that a jug? That's a

1034
00:50:17,613 --> 00:50:18,133
Speaker 3: leader jug?

1035
00:50:18,213 --> 00:50:19,893
Speaker 2: Is it is that open to anyone that jumps on

1036
00:50:19,893 --> 00:50:21,453
Speaker 2: the fury and goes over there? Or is that just

1037
00:50:21,493 --> 00:50:22,053
Speaker 2: for members?

1038
00:50:22,853 --> 00:50:25,173
Speaker 3: Well, if it's just for members on kang el sign up.

1039
00:50:25,373 --> 00:50:27,973
Speaker 2: Honestly, what's the difference a club and a church is

1040
00:50:27,973 --> 00:50:30,573
Speaker 2: a text? If the whole purposes around bringing a group

1041
00:50:30,653 --> 00:50:33,333
Speaker 2: of people together across a common purpose and not make money,

1042
00:50:33,373 --> 00:50:39,613
Speaker 2: surely they have to start texting churches. I think, you know,

1043
00:50:39,613 --> 00:50:41,813
Speaker 2: I'm not sure everyone's going in the churches, but churches

1044
00:50:41,813 --> 00:50:44,413
Speaker 2: are club churches a ways people get together. You know,

1045
00:50:44,613 --> 00:50:46,813
Speaker 2: I was talking before about this guy I interview called

1046
00:50:46,853 --> 00:50:50,213
Speaker 2: Max Dickens, who's a UK writer, who was talking about

1047
00:50:50,293 --> 00:50:53,853
Speaker 2: loneliness and he basically found out he had no mates.

1048
00:50:53,893 --> 00:50:56,093
Speaker 2: So it was called billying moonates. It's a great book,

1049
00:50:56,133 --> 00:50:57,653
Speaker 2: and he spent a whole year trying to find mates,

1050
00:50:57,693 --> 00:51:00,493
Speaker 2: basically because it was killing him that he didn't have mates.

1051
00:51:00,533 --> 00:51:03,053
Speaker 2: And after a year of trying to make friends, his

1052
00:51:03,213 --> 00:51:04,893
Speaker 2: conclusion at the end of the book was that the

1053
00:51:05,333 --> 00:51:08,533
Speaker 2: that the best strategy was the most obvious one. Show

1054
00:51:08,613 --> 00:51:11,213
Speaker 2: up in places where you can actually meet people. Gyms,

1055
00:51:11,253 --> 00:51:16,333
Speaker 2: sports teams, cooking classes, clubs, games nights, anywhere you might

1056
00:51:16,533 --> 00:51:20,053
Speaker 2: come across like minded people or if you're desperate, any

1057
00:51:20,093 --> 00:51:23,613
Speaker 2: type of people. He actually ended up joining a military

1058
00:51:23,613 --> 00:51:24,533
Speaker 2: board games club.

1059
00:51:24,653 --> 00:51:25,093
Speaker 3: I love it.

1060
00:51:25,173 --> 00:51:27,453
Speaker 2: And you know, you might think that's boring, personally, I'd

1061
00:51:27,493 --> 00:51:30,813
Speaker 2: love that, and he found new mates there, so you know,

1062
00:51:31,293 --> 00:51:34,213
Speaker 2: outside of the issue of tax and whether they get

1063
00:51:34,293 --> 00:51:37,973
Speaker 2: hit or not, I just think clubs in any way

1064
00:51:38,013 --> 00:51:41,493
Speaker 2: that we can get together as human beings is so fantastic.

1065
00:51:41,533 --> 00:51:44,053
Speaker 2: And the people that put those together and hold them

1066
00:51:44,053 --> 00:51:47,853
Speaker 2: and do all the punishing admin around running a club

1067
00:51:47,973 --> 00:51:50,533
Speaker 2: and organizing it, they're called Shirpa's. These people. They bring

1068
00:51:50,573 --> 00:51:53,893
Speaker 2: people together. I just think that that is about the

1069
00:51:53,893 --> 00:51:56,573
Speaker 2: best thing you can do in any community care.

1070
00:51:57,253 --> 00:51:59,413
Speaker 3: They're going back a wee while, but the old man

1071
00:51:59,573 --> 00:52:01,813
Speaker 3: was the president of the Nelson Squash club and he

1072
00:52:01,893 --> 00:52:04,413
Speaker 3: put man he puts some hours into there. Absolutely loved

1073
00:52:04,413 --> 00:52:06,893
Speaker 3: it because he got together with his mates and love squash.

1074
00:52:07,173 --> 00:52:09,453
Speaker 3: But that was our childhood, hanging out at the Nelson

1075
00:52:09,533 --> 00:52:12,813
Speaker 3: Squash Club and we'd have all our friends there and

1076
00:52:12,853 --> 00:52:15,053
Speaker 3: we'd have the empty squash courts that we could do

1077
00:52:15,093 --> 00:52:17,093
Speaker 3: what we want with. But from the ages of five

1078
00:52:17,133 --> 00:52:19,893
Speaker 3: to ten, I pretty much lived most of my life

1079
00:52:19,893 --> 00:52:21,933
Speaker 3: at the Nelson Squash Club after school. Loved it.

1080
00:52:22,333 --> 00:52:24,933
Speaker 2: There's a lot of swinging squash clubs, isn't there. Apparently

1081
00:52:25,173 --> 00:52:27,613

00:53:34,133 --> 00:53:36,133

1107
00:53:36,213 --> 00:53:37,253
Speaker 2: nice clear line.

1108
00:53:37,853 --> 00:53:43,652
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, beautiful organization. Big organization is even called the

1109
00:53:43,773 --> 00:53:47,373
Speaker 19: Charter Clubs of New Zealand. So these are all your

1110
00:53:47,413 --> 00:53:50,053
Speaker 19: cozy clubs. You're working men's clubs, you you know, sort

1111
00:53:50,053 --> 00:53:52,093
Speaker 19: of some of the r s os, but a younger

1112
00:53:52,413 --> 00:53:55,773
Speaker 19: demographic if you like. So, you know, instead of going

1113
00:53:55,813 --> 00:53:57,652
Speaker 19: to the pub after work, bokes will bowl and the

1114
00:53:57,653 --> 00:53:59,693
Speaker 19: gun boots and have a beer and the game of

1115
00:53:59,733 --> 00:54:01,853
Speaker 19: pool and darts and snooker and you know whatever else.

1116
00:54:01,893 --> 00:54:04,573
Speaker 19: You guys probably been to a cozy club in your lifetime.

1117
00:54:04,573 --> 00:54:04,853
Speaker 10: Haven you.

1118
00:54:06,373 --> 00:54:06,813
Speaker 3: Great place?

1119
00:54:07,773 --> 00:54:13,733
Speaker 19: Yeah, awesome place, safe, safe place to socialize and cheaper

1120
00:54:13,973 --> 00:54:16,333
Speaker 19: alcohol as well, been doing the pub So I mean

1121
00:54:16,373 --> 00:54:19,573
Speaker 19: we would they sit in under this regime?

1122
00:54:21,053 --> 00:54:23,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean that's I guess that's the question

1123
00:54:23,333 --> 00:54:31,413
Speaker 2: that we're looking into. So Finance Minister Nicola Willis is

1124
00:54:31,493 --> 00:54:34,772
Speaker 2: keen to crack down a businesses masquerading as charities to

1125
00:54:34,773 --> 00:54:39,013
Speaker 2: reduce their tax bills. And you'd absolutely hope that the

1126
00:54:39,093 --> 00:54:41,893
Speaker 2: cozi clubs wouldn't be wouldn't be hit r s as

1127
00:54:42,493 --> 00:54:46,093
Speaker 2: but you don't know if they're taking money and to

1128
00:54:46,213 --> 00:54:49,693
Speaker 2: do a you know, to buy drinks or or or whatever,

1129
00:54:49,733 --> 00:54:51,693
Speaker 2: they might be hit in this in the in this

1130
00:54:51,853 --> 00:54:54,453
Speaker 2: change of of how the the IRD deals with with

1131
00:54:54,533 --> 00:54:55,252
Speaker 2: clubs and such.

1132
00:54:56,213 --> 00:54:58,813
Speaker 19: Yeah, and most of these clubs have poke machines as well,

1133
00:54:58,853 --> 00:55:01,973
Speaker 19: so there's that element. You know, you've got income from

1134
00:55:02,013 --> 00:55:07,413
Speaker 19: the pokey's coming into the club. And of course every

1135
00:55:07,573 --> 00:55:10,773
Speaker 19: club has a little section where people putting money for

1136
00:55:10,893 --> 00:55:13,533
Speaker 19: I don't know, the trips away for the snook or

1137
00:55:13,533 --> 00:55:15,893
Speaker 19: there reino racing and that type of thing. So it's

1138
00:55:17,333 --> 00:55:19,853
Speaker 19: into oven into New Zealand society. The charter clubs that

1139
00:55:19,893 --> 00:55:22,973
Speaker 19: have been around for I don't know, well since probably

1140
00:55:22,973 --> 00:55:25,573
Speaker 19: my my grandparents. I'm in my sixties now, so then

1141
00:55:25,773 --> 00:55:27,173
Speaker 19: they go right back to whenever.

1142
00:55:27,453 --> 00:55:30,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what what's the membership of the cozy club

1143
00:55:31,013 --> 00:55:33,333

01:05:07,413 --> 01:05:10,693
Speaker 18: It's basically we've got the start, we've got a professional manager,

1338
01:05:11,093 --> 01:05:13,493
Speaker 18: et cetera that runs that side of things. But you

1339
01:05:13,533 --> 01:05:16,453
Speaker 18: know you are to anybody to do work like you

1340
01:05:16,573 --> 01:05:18,453
Speaker 18: need to work out on the fourth and that you'll

1341
01:05:18,453 --> 01:05:21,373
Speaker 18: get forty at least thirty to forty volunteers will rock up,

1342
01:05:21,653 --> 01:05:23,293
Speaker 18: you know, to do work on the stuff. And of

1343
01:05:23,373 --> 01:05:27,133
Speaker 18: course all the camp club, captain's presidents, all those members

1344
01:05:27,133 --> 01:05:30,333
Speaker 18: are all they're all volunteers.

1345
01:05:31,853 --> 01:05:33,813
Speaker 2: How many full time ground staff do you have?

1346
01:05:34,973 --> 01:05:36,093
Speaker 16: We have I think four?

1347
01:05:36,493 --> 01:05:38,653
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, because it's a it's a big club,

1348
01:05:38,693 --> 01:05:39,733
Speaker 2: isn't it. It's a big area.

1349
01:05:40,933 --> 01:05:42,453
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, you know, and it's a lot of work.

1350
01:05:42,493 --> 01:05:46,013
Speaker 18: But you know, we're we're a club that's building is

1351
01:05:46,213 --> 01:05:48,853
Speaker 18: certainly looking a lot better now that it was, say

1352
01:05:48,853 --> 01:05:52,173
Speaker 18: five or six years ago, with no riticulation now so

1353
01:05:52,773 --> 01:05:54,933
Speaker 18: and all that cost amount of money, so every day

1354
01:05:55,093 --> 01:05:58,733
Speaker 18: counts brilliant. Well, I don't know whether. I don't know

1355
01:05:58,733 --> 01:06:00,573
Speaker 18: where the tax man is coming from, to be honest.

1356
01:06:00,693 --> 01:06:02,413
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're going to be right. I think

1357
01:06:02,453 --> 01:06:04,933
Speaker 2: that sports clubs they're going to be okay. I think

1358
01:06:04,933 --> 01:06:07,493
Speaker 2: they've got a special exemption that that might might protect

1359
01:06:07,493 --> 01:06:11,013
Speaker 2: the sports clubs. So I think you're gonna be okay, Bruce.

1360
01:06:11,013 --> 01:06:15,613
Speaker 2: But Bryce, but good luck with your charitable status. And yeah,

1361
01:06:15,613 --> 01:06:17,973
Speaker 2: what an absolutely beautiful club. I must come and check

1362
01:06:18,013 --> 01:06:18,653
Speaker 2: it out at some point.

1363
01:06:19,333 --> 01:06:23,613
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, time right, thanks Bryce, It is a beautiful,

1364
01:06:23,653 --> 01:06:28,533
Speaker 3: beautiful club. And yeah, well spaced out. I mean you

1365
01:06:28,573 --> 01:06:30,853
Speaker 3: should have got a tea time off of price at

1366
01:06:30,853 --> 01:06:33,253
Speaker 3: their point. It was on the plant for you, mate,

1367
01:06:33,773 --> 01:06:38,253
Speaker 3: some texts coming through guys. Of course, Cozi club should pay.

1368
01:06:38,693 --> 01:06:43,173
Speaker 3: They are competing with other commercial enterprises, Sanitarium and some

1369
01:06:43,373 --> 01:06:46,093
Speaker 3: of the other churches earning moneies should pay. But not

1370
01:06:46,133 --> 01:06:48,533
Speaker 3: a bridge club. It is not competing in a market.

1371
01:06:48,573 --> 01:06:50,533
Speaker 2: Well that's a really good point. I hadn't thought about that.

1372
01:06:50,613 --> 01:06:52,133
Speaker 2: In terms of coze clubs, because if you've got a

1373
01:06:52,133 --> 01:06:56,653
Speaker 2: cozy club that's, you know, near a bar, then they

1374
01:06:56,693 --> 01:06:58,573
Speaker 2: are taking business off the bar. That is That is

1375
01:06:58,573 --> 01:07:00,733
Speaker 2: an interesting point of it that I hadn't thought of.

1376
01:07:00,813 --> 01:07:02,653
Speaker 2: So that's a good point. Thank you for your text.

1377
01:07:03,093 --> 01:07:06,133
Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

1378
01:07:06,733 --> 01:07:08,213
Speaker 3: Next up, we're gonna have a chant to the club

1379
01:07:08,693 --> 01:07:11,973
Speaker 3: of a bridge club which could be targeted, so stand

1380
01:07:12,013 --> 01:07:12,493
Speaker 3: by for that.

1381
01:07:12,653 --> 01:07:15,453
Speaker 2: It is seems so unfair that bridge clubs aren't considered

1382
01:07:15,493 --> 01:07:16,013
Speaker 2: sports club.

1383
01:07:16,133 --> 01:07:17,613
Speaker 3: That's a sport, a that is a sport.

1384
01:07:17,813 --> 01:07:18,853
Speaker 2: I need to get that. I need to drill in

1385
01:07:18,893 --> 01:07:21,773
Speaker 2: and find out someone. Can someone tell me if you

1386
01:07:21,813 --> 01:07:23,693
Speaker 2: know it. They're in one hundred and eighty ten at

1387
01:07:23,973 --> 01:07:27,213
Speaker 2: where there a chess club is considered a sports club.

1388
01:07:27,573 --> 01:07:30,013
Speaker 3: Nineteen two three.

1389
01:07:30,493 --> 01:07:33,173
Speaker 1: Have a chat with the lads on eight hundred eighty

1390
01:07:33,173 --> 01:07:36,773
Speaker 1: ten eighty Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo XC

1391
01:07:36,893 --> 01:07:41,013
Speaker 1: ninety tick every box, a seamless experience of Weeds News talks.

1392
01:07:41,013 --> 01:07:44,773
Speaker 3: They'd be good afternoon to you seventeen to three and

1393
01:07:44,773 --> 01:07:49,613
Speaker 3: we're talking about clubs. Potentially the ID may try to

1394
01:07:49,653 --> 01:07:52,013
Speaker 3: come for some of you clubs and societies.

1395
01:07:52,093 --> 01:07:54,453
Speaker 2: Here's a text on ninet two nine two. The headlines

1396
01:07:54,613 --> 01:07:58,293
Speaker 2: the media, including news talks b are reporting are somewhat

1397
01:07:58,293 --> 01:08:01,413
Speaker 2: over dramatized. The purpose of the government review into texting, nonprofits,

1398
01:08:01,453 --> 01:08:04,213
Speaker 2: et cetera is to target those clubs and nonprofits who

1399
01:08:04,333 --> 01:08:08,053
Speaker 2: insert trading businesses into their structure to harbor profits under

1400
01:08:08,053 --> 01:08:10,693
Speaker 2: their it's part of their purpose. The fact is most

1401
01:08:10,693 --> 01:08:13,653
Speaker 2: clubs only get income from members and pay this back

1402
01:08:13,693 --> 01:08:16,333
Speaker 2: out and running costs, so they have very little profits.

1403
01:08:16,412 --> 01:08:18,812
Speaker 2: So it's a moot point. Anyway, we can all agree

1404
01:08:18,813 --> 01:08:20,852
Speaker 2: if a club started a business to make a profit

1405
01:08:20,893 --> 01:08:23,692
Speaker 2: to promote its own purpose, then they should be taxed

1406
01:08:23,813 --> 01:08:26,933
Speaker 2: as a business. If their income is only from the

1407
01:08:27,053 --> 01:08:30,372
Speaker 2: member subscriptions, then it should be exempt from tax. It's

1408
01:08:30,412 --> 01:08:33,652
Speaker 2: not fair. Other businesses who compete with these businesses owned

1409
01:08:33,652 --> 01:08:37,092
Speaker 2: by a nonprofit have to pay tax and they don't.

1410
01:08:37,333 --> 01:08:38,213
Speaker 2: Fantastic text.

1411
01:08:38,412 --> 01:08:40,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, fair point, Yeah, fair point.

1412
01:08:40,133 --> 01:08:42,692
Speaker 2: But also if we get to promote a few club

1413
01:08:42,772 --> 01:08:45,092
Speaker 2: clubs while we're talking about it and the general idea

1414
01:08:45,213 --> 01:08:48,092
Speaker 2: of clubs and the hard work that goes into running

1415
01:08:48,572 --> 01:08:52,772
Speaker 2: club even with tax exemption that you have now because

1416
01:08:52,812 --> 01:08:56,452
Speaker 2: you're just running subscriptions. Still so much work and these

1417
01:08:56,452 --> 01:08:58,412
Speaker 2: are the best of us. They're great New Zealanders that

1418
01:08:58,532 --> 01:09:02,452
Speaker 2: put that effort into two bringing something together that other

1419
01:09:02,492 --> 01:09:04,053
Speaker 2: people can come and enjoy, you know.

1420
01:09:04,253 --> 01:09:08,092
Speaker 3: Fantastic, absolutely, Kim, good afternoon.

1421
01:09:11,293 --> 01:09:13,213
Speaker 2: Sorry Kim, I was pressing the button but you didn't

1422
01:09:13,213 --> 01:09:16,412
Speaker 2: come on. So, Kim, you're a manager of a bridge club.

1423
01:09:17,372 --> 01:09:20,253
Speaker 11: Yes I am. Yes, how you're both doing very good.

1424
01:09:20,692 --> 01:09:21,972
Speaker 3: Great to check to you.

1425
01:09:22,053 --> 01:09:27,732
Speaker 11: Yes, so you go, thank you. So you've had a

1426
01:09:27,772 --> 01:09:32,052
Speaker 11: bit of experience in clubs because I was the manager

1427
01:09:32,093 --> 01:09:37,452
Speaker 11: at golf clubor country club back in the day, and

1428
01:09:37,013 --> 01:09:41,452
Speaker 11: then I went to well, yeah you say that, but

1429
01:09:45,572 --> 01:09:47,812
Speaker 11: yacht club and now I'm at the bridge club. So

1430
01:09:48,253 --> 01:09:52,093
Speaker 11: and my son's the general manager at a golf club too,

1431
01:09:52,173 --> 01:09:54,932
Speaker 11: So we've got a few bit of club experience. And

1432
01:09:55,013 --> 01:09:59,372
Speaker 11: I can fully appreciate the amount of work that volunteers

1433
01:09:59,412 --> 01:10:03,492
Speaker 11: put into all clubs. I mean, I'm employed, unpaid, but

1434
01:10:03,893 --> 01:10:06,893
Speaker 11: I couldn't do it without the volunteers.

1435
01:10:07,692 --> 01:10:10,773
Speaker 2: And what do you get out of it for yourself?

1436
01:10:10,893 --> 01:10:12,972
Speaker 2: Is it worth worth your time and effort?

1437
01:10:14,772 --> 01:10:18,093
Speaker 11: Yeah, because people are lovely. I really enjoy seeing the

1438
01:10:18,133 --> 01:10:21,932
Speaker 11: friendships that are made across the bridge table. That go

1439
01:10:22,053 --> 01:10:26,173
Speaker 11: on to last in our lifetime. Often when people are

1440
01:10:26,213 --> 01:10:29,892
Speaker 11: learning to play bridge together, then they kind of partner

1441
01:10:29,973 --> 01:10:33,892
Speaker 11: up and become buddies, which is very cold. I think

1442
01:10:33,933 --> 01:10:39,093
Speaker 11: there's a lot of lonely people well in our community

1443
01:10:39,173 --> 01:10:42,213
Speaker 11: that can find that friendship. I mean, they might live

1444
01:10:42,253 --> 01:10:45,293
Speaker 11: in even a very busy retirement village for example, but

1445
01:10:45,333 --> 01:10:48,893
Speaker 11: it doesn't mean to say, you know that they necessarily

1446
01:10:48,973 --> 01:10:54,732
Speaker 11: make friends there. So having a shared interest is a

1447
01:10:54,933 --> 01:10:59,372
Speaker 11: common factor. But why I was particularly interested in listening

1448
01:10:59,412 --> 01:11:02,892
Speaker 11: to you to your independent text consultant who was very

1449
01:11:02,893 --> 01:11:08,053
Speaker 11: good as he said about bridge might get targeted, but

1450
01:11:09,173 --> 01:11:12,812
Speaker 11: bowls won't. And we're just going through the process and

1451
01:11:13,013 --> 01:11:16,213
Speaker 11: looking at moving our bridge club with a bowling club

1452
01:11:16,692 --> 01:11:21,372
Speaker 11: right thinking, And for me, I've always felt that a

1453
01:11:21,412 --> 01:11:24,772
Speaker 11: bridge or chess or anything that is exercising your brain,

1454
01:11:24,893 --> 01:11:29,733
Speaker 11: how is that different to doing running around a field.

1455
01:11:29,452 --> 01:11:33,692
Speaker 2: Or bizarre if that is true? And I'm just trying

1456
01:11:33,692 --> 01:11:36,133
Speaker 2: to work it out now that if because what is

1457
01:11:36,173 --> 01:11:40,492
Speaker 2: the difference really bridge chess? As you say, whatever it is,

1458
01:11:40,893 --> 01:11:43,812
Speaker 2: what's the difference? You know, maybe because you know, you

1459
01:11:43,812 --> 01:11:47,013
Speaker 2: could say, well, sports clubs they bring in you know,

1460
01:11:47,053 --> 01:11:52,492
Speaker 2: they you know, improve health and such but Bridge, boy, boy,

1461
01:11:52,692 --> 01:11:55,012
Speaker 2: Bridge is going to grow the size of your brains,

1462
01:11:55,053 --> 01:11:57,093
Speaker 2: the amount of neurons you need to be running through.

1463
01:11:57,532 --> 01:12:00,852
Speaker 2: There's a healthy side of Bridge. It's beyond me and

1464
01:12:01,213 --> 01:12:03,053
Speaker 2: I've got friends that have got into Bridge over the

1465
01:12:03,133 --> 01:12:08,093
Speaker 2: years and it's all consuming, isn't it. Cam You can go.

1466
01:12:10,772 --> 01:12:14,093
Speaker 11: I can probably name about three people who were one

1467
01:12:14,173 --> 01:12:16,133
Speaker 11: hundred and one or one hundred and three years old

1468
01:12:16,173 --> 01:12:22,892
Speaker 11: and they're totally onto it, very very together. Yeah, so

1469
01:12:22,933 --> 01:12:26,213
Speaker 11: there must be something. It's something again from when you're

1470
01:12:26,532 --> 01:12:27,692
Speaker 11: I don't know the team.

1471
01:12:27,532 --> 01:12:31,692
Speaker 2: To one hundred and two now can come bowling clubs

1472
01:12:31,812 --> 01:12:36,452
Speaker 2: notoriously big drinkers. Is that the same with Bridge? Is

1473
01:12:36,452 --> 01:12:38,092
Speaker 2: there a few gins with Bridge?

1474
01:12:39,253 --> 01:12:41,973
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, there's a few gens for some of them.

1475
01:12:42,452 --> 01:12:46,093
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, But a Bridge club doesn't typically have a bar.

1476
01:12:46,612 --> 01:12:47,372
Speaker 2: Is that? Am I right?

1477
01:12:48,532 --> 01:12:54,452
Speaker 11: Well, we've got one, okay, but to be there, it's

1478
01:12:54,612 --> 01:13:00,173
Speaker 11: it's not a big commercial type bar. It's just for

1479
01:13:00,213 --> 01:13:03,093
Speaker 11: that purpose the members. On a Friday afternoon, you can

1480
01:13:03,093 --> 01:13:05,132
Speaker 11: finish up and then have a bit of a social

1481
01:13:06,452 --> 01:13:10,133
Speaker 11: side with a gin on the cour wine or a beer.

1482
01:13:10,213 --> 01:13:13,093
Speaker 11: And so it's very low key, even though we have

1483
01:13:13,133 --> 01:13:16,973
Speaker 11: to go through all these yeah, obviously look a licensing.

1484
01:13:18,973 --> 01:13:22,652
Speaker 2: My dad does the greens at a croquet club and

1485
01:13:22,732 --> 01:13:27,333
Speaker 2: he's very devoted from Fantastic Croquet Club Lea Leaf Croquet

1486
01:13:27,333 --> 01:13:32,293
Speaker 2: Club in Dunedin, and he he said that interestingly and

1487
01:13:32,572 --> 01:13:36,132
Speaker 2: that one of the really interesting things is that croquet

1488
01:13:36,133 --> 01:13:41,373
Speaker 2: clubs don't have bars, but bowling clubs do. So sometimes

1489
01:13:41,412 --> 01:13:41,932
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1490
01:13:41,893 --> 01:13:43,372
Speaker 3: What would love. I'd love a drink if I was

1491
01:13:43,372 --> 01:13:44,692
Speaker 3: playing croquet, played it.

1492
01:13:44,692 --> 01:13:46,852
Speaker 2: It seems it seems perfect for some pims or something,

1493
01:13:46,853 --> 01:13:50,253
Speaker 2: doesn't it, But just some some clubs. That's why I

1494
01:13:50,253 --> 01:13:54,412
Speaker 2: asked the question about about bridge, because some clubs have

1495
01:13:54,612 --> 01:13:57,812
Speaker 2: bars and some just by their very definition don't. Because

1496
01:13:57,812 --> 01:13:59,892
Speaker 2: I think bridge clubs do, but I'm pretty sure chess

1497
01:13:59,933 --> 01:14:02,053
Speaker 2: well you've told me that your bridge club has once,

1498
01:14:02,093 --> 01:14:04,452
Speaker 2: so I know that now. But I don't think chess

1499
01:14:04,452 --> 01:14:05,612
Speaker 2: clubs have bars. Do they?

1500
01:14:07,173 --> 01:14:10,972
Speaker 11: I don't think so, because it's she's quite the annually

1501
01:14:11,173 --> 01:14:15,452
Speaker 11: hire our rooms so so no. But the bowling club

1502
01:14:15,492 --> 01:14:17,932
Speaker 11: that we're looking to merge with they've got a bar

1503
01:14:18,013 --> 01:14:18,372
Speaker 11: as well.

1504
01:14:19,013 --> 01:14:19,452
Speaker 2: That's great.

1505
01:14:20,133 --> 01:14:22,492
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's going to be a nice merger, I'm sure.

1506
01:14:23,412 --> 01:14:25,572
Speaker 2: So we haven't seen the name you view a bridge

1507
01:14:25,572 --> 01:14:27,333
Speaker 2: club or the bowling club you're going to merge with.

1508
01:14:27,572 --> 01:14:28,732
Speaker 2: Do you want to you want to share that name?

1509
01:14:28,772 --> 01:14:28,932
Speaker 21: Now?

1510
01:14:28,933 --> 01:14:30,532
Speaker 2: Are you looking for people to join?

1511
01:14:31,812 --> 01:14:35,253
Speaker 11: Always all clubs, you know, I'm at a club, Bridge Club,

1512
01:14:35,692 --> 01:14:40,293
Speaker 11: and we've just got a course of lessons about to

1513
01:14:40,412 --> 01:14:44,892

Speaker 2: hope that merger goes well.

1519
01:14:58,772 --> 01:15:02,493
Speaker 11: Thank you. It's a really good topic and I appreciate

1520
01:15:02,572 --> 01:15:04,053
Speaker 11: the opportunity to talk with you.

1521
01:15:04,452 --> 01:15:04,652
Speaker 18: Well.

1522
01:15:04,772 --> 01:15:07,692
Speaker 3: Likewise, thanks for giving us a buzz right there. As

1523
01:15:07,732 --> 01:15:10,492
Speaker 3: the backbone all of our communities, people like came, Yeah,

1524
01:15:10,492 --> 01:15:13,372
Speaker 3: I mean that is who is making sure that people

1525
01:15:13,412 --> 01:15:16,812
Speaker 3: out there have social contact, that they have an enjoyable

1526
01:15:16,812 --> 01:15:19,333
Speaker 3: place to sit down and make friends, get some cheap

1527
01:15:19,692 --> 01:15:21,973
Speaker 3: at cocktails if they so want it. But that is

1528
01:15:22,053 --> 01:15:25,493
Speaker 3: that is what makes New Zealand a special place. Absolutely,

1529
01:15:25,492 --> 01:15:26,692
Speaker 3: clubs right there, and.

1530
01:15:26,772 --> 01:15:30,572
Speaker 2: Yeah, as I say, Bridge so incredibly complex that you know,

1531
01:15:30,652 --> 01:15:33,692
Speaker 2: I've got a friend that's got into Bridge. She's probably

1532
01:15:33,692 --> 01:15:36,892
Speaker 2: at the younger end of Bridge players, but She's just

1533
01:15:36,933 --> 01:15:39,652
Speaker 2: tried to explain it to me, and it is so

1534
01:15:39,812 --> 01:15:43,293
Speaker 2: freaking complicated at ack of a game playing Bridge. If

1535
01:15:43,333 --> 01:15:45,972
Speaker 2: you play Bridge regularly, you will get smarter. There's there's

1536
01:15:45,973 --> 01:15:48,333
Speaker 2: no two ways about it. I'm probably not smart enough

1537
01:15:48,372 --> 01:15:50,732
Speaker 2: to get there to even start playing, but if you

1538
01:15:50,772 --> 01:15:54,093
Speaker 2: are smart enough to start playing, then you will get

1539
01:15:54,133 --> 01:15:55,572
Speaker 2: smarter playing it right.

1540
01:15:55,612 --> 01:15:58,732
Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty it is eight

1541
01:15:58,772 --> 01:16:00,892
Speaker 3: two three, the.

1542
01:16:00,893 --> 01:16:03,452
Speaker 4: Issues that affect you and a bit of fun along

1543
01:16:03,492 --> 01:16:03,812
Speaker 4: the way.

1544
01:16:04,053 --> 01:16:07,972
Speaker 1: Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo X eighty Innovation

1545
01:16:08,093 --> 01:16:11,133
Speaker 1: stuff and design have it all, News Talks.

1546
01:16:11,013 --> 01:16:15,293
Speaker 3: B, News Talk z B and great discussion about clubs

1547
01:16:15,333 --> 01:16:17,492
Speaker 3: within New Zealand. It was on the back of the

1548
01:16:17,492 --> 01:16:22,293
Speaker 3: inland revenue supposedly coming for the clubs in terms of text,

1549
01:16:22,372 --> 01:16:25,012
Speaker 3: but sports clubs are exempt for some reason. Bridge clubs

1550
01:16:25,053 --> 01:16:28,333
Speaker 3: are not, but some great texts have come through.

1551
01:16:28,253 --> 01:16:31,173
Speaker 2: North shaw Bridge Club. Takapoona does not have a bar,

1552
01:16:31,812 --> 01:16:35,452
Speaker 2: so the Auckland Bridge Club does. And croquet clubs do

1553
01:16:35,532 --> 01:16:39,013
Speaker 2: not have bars, but bowling clubs do. It's interesting, it's

1554
01:16:39,053 --> 01:16:41,333
Speaker 2: interesting the traditions High Team. I own a martial arts

1555
01:16:41,372 --> 01:16:45,213
Speaker 2: self defense club and a little tapooky about one hundred strong.

1556
01:16:45,213 --> 01:16:49,133
Speaker 2: It's registered under an umbrella company because although the intention

1557
01:16:49,572 --> 01:16:52,092
Speaker 2: is for it to benefit the community not for profit,

1558
01:16:52,133 --> 01:16:53,972
Speaker 2: one day it might be profitable. And I don't want

1559
01:16:53,973 --> 01:16:56,053
Speaker 2: to have to have any battles with the ID. I

1560
01:16:56,053 --> 01:16:59,093
Speaker 2: am self employed as an electrician and the ID side

1561
01:16:59,133 --> 01:17:01,852
Speaker 2: of things is hard enough without battles regarding not for

1562
01:17:01,973 --> 01:17:06,013
Speaker 2: profit admin. All right, so you look look that up.

1563
01:17:06,053 --> 01:17:08,692
Speaker 2: Martial arts self to Prince Club and to Pookie.

1564
01:17:08,692 --> 01:17:13,052
Speaker 3: Yep, Mounts Albert Bridge Club operates only with volunteers. Doesn't

1565
01:17:13,133 --> 01:17:16,732
Speaker 3: have a bar either, but a wonderful communal culture. We

1566
01:17:16,973 --> 01:17:19,892
Speaker 3: bought our building through fundraising from Ann There you.

1567
01:17:19,853 --> 01:17:22,972
Speaker 2: Go, there, you go. Okay, So I would like a bar.

1568
01:17:22,893 --> 01:17:24,172
Speaker 3: In the club, though, I mean.

1569
01:17:24,213 --> 01:17:26,973
Speaker 2: So Auckland Bridge Club is an outlier and having a

1570
01:17:26,973 --> 01:17:28,852
Speaker 2: bar as far as Bridge Club's concerned. And now it's

1571
01:17:28,893 --> 01:17:31,092
Speaker 2: mixing with a bowling club and you know bowling clubs

1572
01:17:31,133 --> 01:17:33,853
Speaker 2: are absolute So kids bols.

1573
01:17:33,532 --> 01:17:35,372
Speaker 3: Massive boozers, massive boozers.

1574
01:17:35,772 --> 01:17:38,412
Speaker 2: And to the conversations, sports clubs are facing a challenge

1575
01:17:38,452 --> 01:17:41,932
Speaker 2: with the new Incorporated Society Act. All need a new

1576
01:17:41,973 --> 01:17:46,012
Speaker 2: constitutional loose status next year. Cannot then find get funding.

1577
01:17:46,093 --> 01:17:49,372
Speaker 2: So much compliance committee volunteers now have lie bildly clubs

1578
01:17:49,412 --> 01:17:52,173
Speaker 2: now need extra insurance. And this goes into how many

1579
01:17:52,173 --> 01:17:54,933
Speaker 2: clubs will not continue and the loss this is to

1580
01:17:54,973 --> 01:17:58,052
Speaker 2: our community for connections which our kids and elderly people

1581
01:17:58,093 --> 01:18:00,692
Speaker 2: really really need. Yeah, we need to make it as

1582
01:18:00,772 --> 01:18:04,452
Speaker 2: easy as possible for people to make clubs and societies

1583
01:18:04,692 --> 01:18:07,412
Speaker 2: and get together. Of course, if people are taking the

1584
01:18:07,452 --> 01:18:10,692
Speaker 2: purse and profiteering from it, as opposed to run it

1585
01:18:10,692 --> 01:18:12,452
Speaker 2: as a nonprofit, which is meant to do, then that's

1586
01:18:12,452 --> 01:18:14,253
Speaker 2: a different issue. I'm sure the idea will knock on

1587
01:18:14,253 --> 01:18:16,452
Speaker 2: your door. But clubs are great and the people that

1588
01:18:16,492 --> 01:18:18,253
Speaker 2: work hard for clubs are the best of.

1589
01:18:18,253 --> 01:18:20,692
Speaker 3: Us, beautifully said, and that is where we'll leave a

1590
01:18:20,732 --> 01:18:23,093
Speaker 3: good discussion. But after three o'clock, let's have a chat

1591
01:18:23,133 --> 01:18:26,813
Speaker 3: about the worst cockups that you have done in the workplace.

1592
01:18:27,053 --> 01:18:29,572
Speaker 3: On the back of quite a great story, not for

1593
01:18:29,612 --> 01:18:31,372
Speaker 3: the driver in question, but a great story about a

1594
01:18:31,452 --> 01:18:34,773
Speaker 3: driver that took off after a house they were transporting

1595
01:18:34,853 --> 01:18:37,572
Speaker 3: fell off the truck. We'll tell you more very shortly.

1596
01:18:37,572 --> 01:18:39,492
Speaker 3: But our eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the

1597
01:18:39,572 --> 01:18:42,372
Speaker 3: number four nineteen nine two is the text New Sport

1598
01:18:42,412 --> 01:18:44,293
Speaker 3: and Weather on its way, you're listening to Matt and

1599
01:18:44,293 --> 01:18:45,572
Speaker 3: Tyler Good afternoon.

1600
01:18:53,532 --> 01:18:55,253
Speaker 4: Talking with you all afternoon.

1601
01:18:55,492 --> 01:18:59,253
Speaker 1: It's Matt Heathen Taylor Adams Afternoons with the Volvo XC

1602
01:18:59,452 --> 01:19:00,652
Speaker 1: ninety News Talk V.

1603
01:19:02,293 --> 01:19:05,772
Speaker 3: Hello, welcome back into the show. Six past three. So,

1604
01:19:05,973 --> 01:19:11,973
Speaker 3: story that caught both of our attention. It's a headline

1605
01:19:12,093 --> 01:19:15,092
Speaker 3: driver's sword after house falls off truck in the Far North.

1606
01:19:15,893 --> 01:19:19,252
Speaker 3: So police are appealing for information about a bizarre incident

1607
01:19:19,293 --> 01:19:21,932
Speaker 3: involving a house falling off a truck, a blocked road

1608
01:19:22,053 --> 01:19:25,772
Speaker 3: in a vanishing trucky. So speculation in the Far North

1609
01:19:25,772 --> 01:19:28,772
Speaker 3: as to what happened ranges from an amateur horse house

1610
01:19:28,853 --> 01:19:32,652
Speaker 3: moving attempt on horribly wrong to an extraordinary brazen theft attempt.

1611
01:19:32,692 --> 01:19:35,333
Speaker 2: So basically, this is a terrible moving attempt. There's a

1612
01:19:35,372 --> 01:19:38,732
Speaker 2: house that's fallen off the truck's jackknife, and we've probably

1613
01:19:38,772 --> 01:19:43,173
Speaker 2: all experienced this failed moving attempts, and that's what we

1614
01:19:43,213 --> 01:19:45,052
Speaker 2: want to talk about this hour. I Way one hundred

1615
01:19:45,093 --> 01:19:49,253
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty A Moving disasters. We are currently

1616
01:19:49,253 --> 01:19:52,053
Speaker 2: in the studio almost about to put a one on

1617
01:19:52,093 --> 01:19:58,052
Speaker 2: our days since major in studio accidents after yesterday's coffee spillage.

1618
01:19:58,133 --> 01:19:59,532
Speaker 2: If we make it through this hour, then we can

1619
01:19:59,532 --> 01:20:02,812
Speaker 2: put a one up there. But yeah, so you're moving

1620
01:20:02,812 --> 01:20:05,972
Speaker 2: a house and look, there's some suggesting this isn't even

1621
01:20:05,973 --> 01:20:08,933
Speaker 2: his house. He might have stolen the house. That's a

1622
01:20:08,933 --> 01:20:12,452
Speaker 2: brazen theft. But either way, whether it was his house

1623
01:20:12,572 --> 01:20:15,133
Speaker 2: or an amateur moving job or whatever's going on here,

1624
01:20:15,532 --> 01:20:19,213
Speaker 2: had an absolute mayor, hasn't nailed this moving of a

1625
01:20:19,213 --> 01:20:22,892
Speaker 2: house at all. No, And you know he probably he

1626
01:20:22,973 --> 01:20:25,772
Speaker 2: probably backed himself, obviously backed himself at the start to

1627
01:20:25,933 --> 01:20:28,492
Speaker 2: move a house. Yeah, you know I wouldn't. I wouldn't be.

1628
01:20:28,772 --> 01:20:30,412
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think I had the wear of thoo to

1629
01:20:30,412 --> 01:20:33,532
Speaker 2: move a mover house. But yeah, eight hundred at eighty ten,

1630
01:20:33,652 --> 01:20:36,772
Speaker 2: eighty nine, two ninety two. So we can help the

1631
01:20:36,812 --> 01:20:40,613
Speaker 2: world out there. We'd love you to share your moving disasters.

1632
01:20:41,133 --> 01:20:42,933
Speaker 2: You were times when you tried to move something and

1633
01:20:42,933 --> 01:20:43,892
Speaker 2: it went horribly wrong.

1634
01:20:43,973 --> 01:20:47,572
Speaker 3: So I've had a couple. And the last one was

1635
01:20:47,612 --> 01:20:49,532
Speaker 3: when we were trying to take some stuff to the

1636
01:20:49,612 --> 01:20:52,972
Speaker 3: dump down in christ Jooch and we had a trailer,

1637
01:20:52,973 --> 01:20:54,452
Speaker 3: but it was a trailer without a cage on it,

1638
01:20:54,492 --> 01:20:57,333
Speaker 3: which I think is always you know, a little bit problematic.

1639
01:20:58,053 --> 01:21:01,733
Speaker 3: But had my father in law with me Mabe's dad, Pete.

1640
01:21:01,812 --> 01:21:04,852
Speaker 2: And had important to get this kind of stuff right

1641
01:21:04,853 --> 01:21:05,892
Speaker 2: in front of your father in law.

1642
01:21:05,893 --> 01:21:06,133
Speaker 4: Mate.

1643
01:21:06,253 --> 01:21:08,972
Speaker 3: I know, I know, well, you know, to be maybe

1644
01:21:09,013 --> 01:21:11,093
Speaker 3: I was being well. I thought I was being a

1645
01:21:11,133 --> 01:21:13,852
Speaker 3: little bit too safe here. So we had four couches

1646
01:21:13,893 --> 01:21:15,973
Speaker 3: and pretty big couches that we needed to get to

1647
01:21:15,973 --> 01:21:18,012
Speaker 3: the dump. And I thought, this is at least two trips, right,

1648
01:21:18,853 --> 01:21:22,173
Speaker 3: And of course Pete is a real man. He said no, no, no, no,

1649
01:21:22,372 --> 01:21:24,973
Speaker 3: we'll stack them all up. And this was I'm not

1650
01:21:25,053 --> 01:21:27,053
Speaker 3: joking here. This would have been about four or five

1651
01:21:27,133 --> 01:21:30,293
Speaker 3: meters high on a on a trailer with no fricking

1652
01:21:30,372 --> 01:21:32,932
Speaker 3: cage on it. I respect that, yep, and only two straps.

1653
01:21:33,173 --> 01:21:34,772
Speaker 3: I had a third strap. I had a third strap

1654
01:21:34,853 --> 01:21:35,852
Speaker 3: ready to go, and Pete.

1655
01:21:35,692 --> 01:21:37,452
Speaker 2: Full doctor Zeos type operation.

1656
01:21:37,492 --> 01:21:39,732
Speaker 3: You're running there, yeah, And Pete said, nahah, doesn't need

1657
01:21:39,772 --> 01:21:42,333
Speaker 3: a third strap. He just you know, tugged on those

1658
01:21:42,372 --> 01:21:44,692
Speaker 3: two straps and said she ain't gone nowhere, as is

1659
01:21:44,732 --> 01:21:49,013
Speaker 3: mandatory to do in that situation. And obviously we took

1660
01:21:49,053 --> 01:21:51,572
Speaker 3: off to the dump and there was a part of

1661
01:21:52,293 --> 01:21:55,692
Speaker 3: the road that had Sadi k and we didn't hear

1662
01:21:55,732 --> 01:21:58,173
Speaker 3: anything at this point in time. I just put it

1663
01:21:58,213 --> 01:21:59,932
Speaker 3: that way. There was a lot of noise going on,

1664
01:22:00,133 --> 01:22:03,412
Speaker 3: the windows were down, and then we get to the

1665
01:22:03,452 --> 01:22:08,492
Speaker 3: dump obviously and go to unload these couches and there

1666
01:22:08,532 --> 01:22:13,093
Speaker 3: was only three couches instead of four. H Pete. I

1667
01:22:13,372 --> 01:22:16,213
Speaker 3: was like, well, that's not a bad so I talk

1668
01:22:16,213 --> 01:22:16,572
Speaker 3: about it.

1669
01:22:16,772 --> 01:22:19,732
Speaker 2: That's bad. It's the seventy success rate on bringing the couches.

1670
01:22:20,013 --> 01:22:22,133
Speaker 2: So you didn't go back and track your path to

1671
01:22:22,133 --> 01:22:23,372
Speaker 2: find out what had happened to that couch.

1672
01:22:23,452 --> 01:22:25,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, we tried to find it, Yeah, and we got

1673
01:22:25,372 --> 01:22:25,932
Speaker 3: it right.

1674
01:22:26,253 --> 01:22:30,173
Speaker 2: So so the best case scenario is that that's fallen

1675
01:22:30,253 --> 01:22:32,213
Speaker 2: off and bounced nicely to the side of the road

1676
01:22:32,213 --> 01:22:34,652
Speaker 2: and someone's pulled over and thought that it was free

1677
01:22:34,652 --> 01:22:35,213
Speaker 2: to a good home.

1678
01:22:35,293 --> 01:22:37,652
Speaker 3: Yeah, well or hopefully straight into the river. The whip

1679
01:22:37,652 --> 01:22:38,492
Speaker 3: going past a river.

1680
01:22:39,293 --> 01:22:42,652
Speaker 2: That's not great for the for the wildlife. Well yeah,

1681
01:22:42,692 --> 01:22:45,053
Speaker 2: I mean that's a question how high up can you

1682
01:22:45,213 --> 01:22:47,652
Speaker 2: strap a trailer? And also I've got a question for

1683
01:22:47,652 --> 01:22:50,013
Speaker 2: you one hundred and eighteen eighty nine nine two. So

1684
01:22:50,093 --> 01:22:52,892
Speaker 2: I was moving a scaffold the other day, yep, giving

1685
01:22:52,973 --> 01:22:55,372
Speaker 2: a moving a scaffold to my mate Mike's house. I've

1686
01:22:55,412 --> 01:22:57,373
Speaker 2: been painting a house and I was moving the scaffold.

1687
01:22:57,452 --> 01:22:57,692
Speaker 10: Yep.

1688
01:22:57,772 --> 01:22:59,533
Speaker 2: This was on the weekend, aaturally.

1689
01:22:59,293 --> 01:22:59,972
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yep.

1690
01:23:00,372 --> 01:23:02,852
Speaker 2: And I was trying to work out I couldn't get

1691
01:23:02,893 --> 01:23:04,572
Speaker 2: the ute, so I was putting it at the back

1692
01:23:04,572 --> 01:23:06,972
Speaker 2: of a hatchback. I was putting it back in the

1693
01:23:07,013 --> 01:23:08,893
Speaker 2: back of a Ford Focus and you know there's a

1694
01:23:08,893 --> 01:23:10,532
Speaker 2: lot of room back in there. So, you know, we

1695
01:23:10,612 --> 01:23:12,933
Speaker 2: put the scaffold and it was pretty complex, complex, and

1696
01:23:12,973 --> 01:23:14,333
Speaker 2: I had my son there and I was looking at

1697
01:23:14,333 --> 01:23:17,333
Speaker 2: tying up and I thought, no, I'll use my son.

1698
01:23:17,772 --> 01:23:20,652
Speaker 2: So what I did is I tied around the back

1699
01:23:20,692 --> 01:23:22,612
Speaker 2: of the scaffold and then I got him on the

1700
01:23:22,612 --> 01:23:25,173
Speaker 2: front seat just to hold on. And then we drove

1701
01:23:25,213 --> 01:23:27,812
Speaker 2: down the road with the the you know the boot

1702
01:23:27,893 --> 01:23:28,612
Speaker 2: up right?

1703
01:23:28,732 --> 01:23:29,132
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1704
01:23:29,333 --> 01:23:32,293
Speaker 2: Are you allowed to do that? Is that legal? Because

1705
01:23:32,612 --> 01:23:35,213
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he's a strong lad, he's fifteen. Yeah,

1706
01:23:35,213 --> 01:23:36,492
Speaker 2: he can hold on. I mean it was a bit

1707
01:23:36,572 --> 01:23:40,772
Speaker 2: ropey at times. Part of the pun. He was really

1708
01:23:40,772 --> 01:23:43,053
Speaker 2: struggling to hold on to the scaffold because decent sized

1709
01:23:43,053 --> 01:23:44,412
Speaker 2: scaffold pretty heavy.

1710
01:23:44,532 --> 01:23:45,532
Speaker 3: How did he feel about it?

1711
01:23:46,133 --> 01:23:47,812
Speaker 2: He was really empty the whole thing. The whole time

1712
01:23:47,853 --> 01:23:49,572
Speaker 2: he was going, this is a really bad idea dad,

1713
01:23:49,572 --> 01:23:51,213
Speaker 2: And this is often the situation I get in with

1714
01:23:51,253 --> 01:23:53,852
Speaker 2: my kids were there, they're more sensible than me. But

1715
01:23:54,053 --> 01:23:57,572
Speaker 2: you know, in my defense, we got there on time

1716
01:23:58,013 --> 01:24:01,532
Speaker 2: and with you know, ninety percent of the scaffold still

1717
01:24:01,532 --> 01:24:02,093
Speaker 2: in the back of the car.

1718
01:24:02,253 --> 01:24:02,532
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1719
01:24:02,572 --> 01:24:05,253
Speaker 3: So is there a responsible or Kiwi ingenuity? I think

1720
01:24:05,293 --> 01:24:06,892
Speaker 3: Kiwi ingenuity. You got the job done.

1721
01:24:06,973 --> 01:24:09,772
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was that same attitude that

1722
01:24:09,812 --> 01:24:12,933
Speaker 2: this guy with this housetop to moving the house. And

1723
01:24:12,973 --> 01:24:15,053
Speaker 2: what happens is he's ended up with this house no

1724
01:24:15,093 --> 01:24:17,452
Speaker 2: longer on his truck and he's fled the scene of

1725
01:24:17,452 --> 01:24:19,372
Speaker 2: the crime. Love to hear from you on this one

1731
01:24:36,532 --> 01:24:40,133
Speaker 2: moving disasters. This from James Day. We were due to

1732
01:24:40,133 --> 01:24:43,652
Speaker 2: move into newly built house stop Bank on Salwyn River

1733
01:24:43,732 --> 01:24:46,532
Speaker 2: burst and as we arrive in the removal truck, we

1734
01:24:46,572 --> 01:24:48,852
Speaker 2: are stuck four hundred meters away from our house and

1735
01:24:48,973 --> 01:24:52,812
Speaker 2: water was fifty centimeters deep across our entire four are section.

1736
01:24:53,013 --> 01:24:54,012
Speaker 3: Are you poor bugger?

1740
01:25:05,732 --> 01:25:08,053
Speaker 2: That make sense what I said? That amval problem? That's

1741
01:25:08,053 --> 01:25:10,812
Speaker 2: not what I A moving disasters.

1742
01:25:11,732 --> 01:25:17,053
Speaker 21: Yeah, definitely a moving disaster. Perhaps twenty years ago, I

1743
01:25:17,133 --> 01:25:19,652
Speaker 21: worked for a maintenance company and we were in Mission Bay,

1744
01:25:20,333 --> 01:25:23,372
Speaker 21: just off God and Prayers, and we were at the

1745
01:25:23,372 --> 01:25:26,053
Speaker 21: top of a street that went down a huge The

1746
01:25:26,093 --> 01:25:28,612
Speaker 21: street went down a huge valley about three hundred meters,

1747
01:25:29,173 --> 01:25:32,452
Speaker 21: really steep, and we were at the very top and

1748
01:25:32,933 --> 01:25:36,533
Speaker 21: the deck we were working on was above the driveway,

1749
01:25:36,572 --> 01:25:40,093
Speaker 21: which was also very steep, and we parked the trailer up,

1750
01:25:40,213 --> 01:25:43,333
Speaker 21: one of those big commercial trailers that actually had a

1751
01:25:43,412 --> 01:25:46,412
Speaker 21: handbrake that you could put the handbrake on yep, and

1752
01:25:46,452 --> 01:25:49,892
Speaker 21: we thought sweet. So we were busting up this deck

1753
01:25:49,973 --> 01:25:53,213
Speaker 21: and we were for hours. We were throwing tiles into

1754
01:25:53,253 --> 01:25:55,412
Speaker 21: the trailer and I don't know, it must have been

1755
01:25:55,452 --> 01:26:01,412
Speaker 21: half a ton, And finally it was the straw that

1756
01:26:01,492 --> 01:26:03,452
Speaker 21: broke the camel's back. We threw a couple of tiles

1757
01:26:03,492 --> 01:26:07,852
Speaker 21: down and this the brake release and this trailer started

1758
01:26:07,853 --> 01:26:12,013
Speaker 21: moving and it just went downhill down the street. It

1759
01:26:12,133 --> 01:26:14,933
Speaker 21: was weaving back and forth the whole way down. It

1760
01:26:15,093 --> 01:26:18,333
Speaker 21: dodged and missed every part car the whole way down

1761
01:26:18,372 --> 01:26:21,732
Speaker 21: the street three hundred meters and finally came to a

1762
01:26:21,812 --> 01:26:25,892
Speaker 21: stop at a rest home at the bottom of that

1763
01:26:26,013 --> 01:26:30,853
Speaker 21: road where it had a hedge and trees, and fortunately

1764
01:26:31,173 --> 01:26:35,492
Speaker 21: nothing at all happened. I wouldn't lose the load. We

1765
01:26:35,572 --> 01:26:38,892
Speaker 21: just went down there, the trees and the bushes they

1766
01:26:38,933 --> 01:26:41,452
Speaker 21: were still intact, and we just drove off and said nothing.

1767
01:26:41,492 --> 01:26:43,852
Speaker 21: But we were so lucky. But it just goes to show,

1768
01:26:44,412 --> 01:26:47,452
Speaker 21: just goes to show, you know what, what you don't

1769
01:26:47,492 --> 01:26:49,892
Speaker 21: think about and what can happen. So, yeah, we were,

1770
01:26:49,973 --> 01:26:52,532
Speaker 21: We were really lucky. But it was a sight to

1771
01:26:52,612 --> 01:26:53,093
Speaker 21: behold that.

1772
01:26:53,133 --> 01:26:55,133
Speaker 2: We must have been. At the point you're watching it,

1773
01:26:55,213 --> 01:26:58,452
Speaker 2: you're thinking thousands, hundreds of thousands, ten thousands of dollars

1774
01:26:58,452 --> 01:27:01,612
Speaker 2: with a damage, and you know, the.

1775
01:27:01,612 --> 01:27:03,732
Speaker 14: Whole way down there could have just gone.

1776
01:27:03,812 --> 01:27:08,092
Speaker 21: My work mate, my workmate actually chased chased it for

1777
01:27:08,412 --> 01:27:12,893
Speaker 21: hundred meters. Half a ton of tiles moving down the

1778
01:27:12,933 --> 01:27:14,333
Speaker 21: hill quickly. You're not going to stop that.

1779
01:27:15,692 --> 01:27:17,972
Speaker 3: Yeah, every car and missed you just would have been like, oh,

1780
01:27:18,013 --> 01:27:19,412
Speaker 3: thank God, and then the next one.

1781
01:27:19,452 --> 01:27:22,972
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I mean it was one of those stories

1782
01:27:23,013 --> 01:27:25,092
Speaker 14: you went back to the boss and it was actually

1783
01:27:25,853 --> 01:27:30,052
Speaker 14: a relief to be able to tell them something bad

1784
01:27:30,093 --> 01:27:31,492
Speaker 14: that happened with a good outcome.

1785
01:27:31,732 --> 01:27:33,532
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I had some of that thing at

1786
01:27:33,692 --> 01:27:36,452
Speaker 2: National Mini Storage where you know you have those trolleys,

1787
01:27:36,532 --> 01:27:38,333
Speaker 2: and I took up to the rubbish to dump some

1788
01:27:38,372 --> 01:27:41,652
Speaker 2: rubbish off, and then I picked the rubbish off the

1789
01:27:41,732 --> 01:27:44,652
Speaker 2: trolley and then the trolley just went off down the

1790
01:27:44,732 --> 01:27:48,412
Speaker 2: hill towards a bunch of cars, and it was incredible.

1791
01:27:48,732 --> 01:27:50,692
Speaker 2: Exactly what you're doing. Was like I was standing there, going,

1792
01:27:50,732 --> 01:27:52,452
Speaker 2: this is going to be a lot of damage. This

1793
01:27:52,492 --> 01:27:55,812
Speaker 2: is going to mess up so many cars. But like you, Mike,

1794
01:27:56,053 --> 01:27:57,572
Speaker 2: I just had the pure lark and it just went

1795
01:27:57,612 --> 01:27:59,532
Speaker 2: down and down and down down, didn't even hit the cars,

1796
01:27:59,572 --> 01:28:02,293
Speaker 2: and then just slammed into a concrete post at the bottom.

1797
01:28:02,333 --> 01:28:03,413
Speaker 2: It was phenomenal.

1798
01:28:03,933 --> 01:28:08,293
Speaker 3: It was with one of us are blessed many good Obviously.

1799
01:28:07,973 --> 01:28:12,133
Speaker 2: You got thank someone for that one. Thanks Mike.

1800
01:28:12,692 --> 01:28:16,692
Speaker 3: A couple of text here, guys. I moved into an

1801
01:28:16,692 --> 01:28:19,852
Speaker 3: apartment on my own, bought a brand new couch, big

1802
01:28:19,973 --> 01:28:22,972
Speaker 3: enough for my tallest mate to crash on. Got it delivered,

1803
01:28:23,013 --> 01:28:26,093
Speaker 3: didn't fit the left or the stairs. I was six

1804
01:28:26,173 --> 01:28:29,333
Speaker 3: floors up. Dude said the only way was he could

1805
01:28:29,412 --> 01:28:31,932
Speaker 3: hire a crane and take it out in the window.

1806
01:28:32,652 --> 01:28:35,092
Speaker 3: I thought that won't be cheap. I got a drill

1807
01:28:35,652 --> 01:28:38,253
Speaker 3: and worked out how to dismantle it and rebuild it

1808
01:28:38,253 --> 01:28:41,852
Speaker 3: in the living room. Always measure it first. Yeah right,

1809
01:28:42,013 --> 01:28:43,933
Speaker 3: I mean that's a good outcome, I think.

1810
01:28:44,013 --> 01:28:47,772
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, Mary, you had a problem

1811
01:28:47,812 --> 01:28:48,533
Speaker 2: with the shed.

1812
01:28:49,333 --> 01:28:51,213
Speaker 22: Well, we didn't have a really problem. It was an

1813
01:28:51,213 --> 01:28:56,173
Speaker 22: old garage and it's had a space cut out in

1814
01:28:56,213 --> 01:28:58,652
Speaker 22: the front for you to drive your car, and had

1815
01:28:58,652 --> 01:29:01,173
Speaker 22: no doors on us or anything like that. It's just

1816
01:29:01,333 --> 01:29:05,572
Speaker 22: a shed. And my husband wanted to shift it, shift

1817
01:29:05,612 --> 01:29:08,213
Speaker 22: it from one farm to another. The farms were about

1818
01:29:08,612 --> 01:29:12,532
Speaker 22: mile apart, and we hummed hard over how to do it.

1819
01:29:13,213 --> 01:29:15,852
Speaker 22: Then my brother in law came up with a bright idea.

1820
01:29:16,412 --> 01:29:19,333
Speaker 22: He had a tractor that had a front end loader

1821
01:29:19,372 --> 01:29:23,253
Speaker 22: on it and also a back tray. So he backed

1822
01:29:23,293 --> 01:29:27,013
Speaker 22: his tractor into the garage, put the front of it

1823
01:29:27,612 --> 01:29:31,052
Speaker 22: or lifted the front of it up with the front

1824
01:29:31,173 --> 01:29:33,572
Speaker 22: end loader, lifted the back of it up with the

1825
01:29:33,612 --> 01:29:36,932
Speaker 22: back tray and drove it up the road about six

1826
01:29:37,013 --> 01:29:41,212
Speaker 22: miles like that, just with a garage sitting on the tractor.

1827
01:29:42,053 --> 01:29:44,013
Speaker 22: And he said it was a He said it was

1828
01:29:44,053 --> 01:29:46,652
Speaker 22: a bit awkward because all he could see was the

1829
01:29:46,692 --> 01:29:48,892
Speaker 22: wee space out the front, out of the door at

1830
01:29:48,933 --> 01:29:51,093
Speaker 22: the front. He couldn't see right or left.

1831
01:29:52,572 --> 01:29:55,732
Speaker 2: But it worked. He got it there, He got it there.

1832
01:29:55,532 --> 01:29:58,973
Speaker 22: He yes, And then we shifted farms again and it

1833
01:29:59,053 --> 01:30:01,452
Speaker 22: was driven another twelve mile down the road to a

1834
01:30:01,572 --> 01:30:02,492
Speaker 22: next farm like that.

1835
01:30:05,173 --> 01:30:09,253
Speaker 2: And so were you supportive of this transportation technique or

1836
01:30:09,293 --> 01:30:12,973
Speaker 2: did you express your doubts?

1837
01:30:13,452 --> 01:30:17,133
Speaker 22: I traveled behind at a safe distance, wondering how much

1838
01:30:17,173 --> 01:30:18,053
Speaker 22: I had to pick up.

1839
01:30:19,532 --> 01:30:21,452
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for your call, Mary, I

1840
01:30:21,452 --> 01:30:24,732
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Gooday, guys Taylor for your information. Maximum height

1841
01:30:25,093 --> 01:30:29,013
Speaker 2: for any vehicle or load on a public road. It's

1842

Speaker 2: was a bizarre incident involving a house falling off a

1863
01:31:26,532 --> 01:31:30,412
Speaker 2: truck at blocked roads and a vanishing Trucky speculation of

1867
01:31:40,213 --> 01:31:45,572
Speaker 2: we're talking about moving disasters, and this seems like there's

1868
01:31:45,732 --> 01:31:48,572
Speaker 2: a entire nation of people that have failed to move

1869
01:31:48,652 --> 01:31:50,693
Speaker 2: things successfully.

1870
01:31:50,933 --> 01:31:53,253

1872
01:31:58,692 --> 01:32:01,013
Speaker 3: in a big box with other rubbish which acted like

01:32:01,093 --> 01:32:05,133
Speaker 3: a sail and lifted off the trailer saw a white

1874
01:32:05,133 --> 01:32:08,612

1875
01:32:08,652 --> 01:32:11,732
Speaker 3: a million pieces on the white Cute Expressway. Lucky we

1876
01:32:11,772 --> 01:32:14,093
Speaker 3: went back, although we didn't pick up as much of

1877
01:32:14,133 --> 01:32:18,013
Speaker 3: the porcelain that we could have. Also, our proof of

1878
01:32:18,053 --> 01:32:19,932
Speaker 3: address fell off the trailer as well as we managed

1879
01:32:19,973 --> 01:32:20,412

01:32:28,492 --> 01:32:32,173
Speaker 2: you know, you question, you'd questioned your life decisions, wouldn't you?

1883
01:32:32,173 --> 01:32:34,452
Speaker 3: You wouldn't go back though, would you know? Let's be honest, if.

1884
01:32:34,372 --> 01:32:37,532
Speaker 2: You know, you question what kind of message the universe

1885
01:32:37,612 --> 01:32:41,772
Speaker 2: is trying to send you. That's what I'm trying to say. Dave, Dave,

Speaker 1: Yeah.

1890
01:32:48,053 --> 01:32:51,252
Speaker 16: Look, I'm embarrassed to say. I was helping a colleague

1891
01:32:51,772 --> 01:32:54,452
Speaker 16: move a bookcase. He's sort of Shouney. He was at

1892
01:32:54,532 --> 01:32:58,652
Speaker 16: working out and this bookcase was rather special term because

1893
01:32:58,933 --> 01:33:05,572
Speaker 16: his grandfather had built it out of magnificent pine timber. Well,

1894
01:33:06,093 --> 01:33:08,772
Speaker 16: we put it on the back of the trailer one

1895
01:33:08,853 --> 01:33:11,892
Speaker 16: or two other furniture items, and I was thinking, oh,

1896
01:33:11,973 --> 01:33:14,293
Speaker 16: that's DestinE. They're all right, that's wedged, and that's not

1897
01:33:14,412 --> 01:33:17,933
Speaker 16: going anywhere. How wrong was I And went over the

1898
01:33:18,053 --> 01:33:21,452
Speaker 16: side and I looked in the rear vision mirror and

1899
01:33:21,612 --> 01:33:27,452
Speaker 16: this wonderful bookcase just just mentaled into about a dozen pieces.

1900
01:33:28,173 --> 01:33:33,333
Speaker 16: Clearly Grandad had used very good clue I was. I

1901
01:33:33,532 --> 01:33:37,333
Speaker 16: was so emberssed and I look on his face with

1902
01:33:38,013 --> 01:33:42,253
Speaker 16: his precious books bookcase the dismantled. Fortunately I was able

1903
01:33:42,293 --> 01:33:46,253
Speaker 16: to find a joiner included all back together. It didn't

1904
01:33:46,253 --> 01:33:49,692
Speaker 16: look quite the same, but he really appreciated having his

1905
01:33:49,812 --> 01:33:50,612
Speaker 16: bookcase back.

1906
01:33:51,412 --> 01:33:51,492
Speaker 10: Ye.

1907
01:33:51,812 --> 01:33:53,133
Speaker 16: Not dramatic, but there you go.

1908
01:33:53,933 --> 01:33:58,812
Speaker 3: That's a great story, Dave, Thank you very much. Guys.

1909
01:33:58,853 --> 01:34:01,612
Speaker 3: The carrier company was delivering pellets of beer and sixteen

1910
01:34:01,772 --> 01:34:06,492
Speaker 3: kegs to who are Pie Liquor? And when he turned up,

1911
01:34:06,933 --> 01:34:10,333
Speaker 3: we said we're the key. He said he didn't pick

1912
01:34:10,372 --> 01:34:12,452
Speaker 3: any up. Two days later a farmer phoned up and

1913
01:34:12,492 --> 01:34:16,372
Speaker 3: said he had found sixteen kigs and the Brigham's creak.

1914
01:34:16,572 --> 01:34:18,812
Speaker 3: They fell off his truck as he was driving up

1915
01:34:18,853 --> 01:34:21,213
Speaker 3: the hill and decided not to tell anyone in case

1916
01:34:21,253 --> 01:34:21,852
Speaker 3: he got the sack.

1917
01:34:23,732 --> 01:34:26,452
Speaker 2: Sixteen kigs don't just disappear without anyone finding them. No,

1918
01:34:27,652 --> 01:34:29,412
Speaker 2: it's kind of like this house. This guy that's done

1919
01:34:29,452 --> 01:34:30,973
Speaker 2: a running from his house. You don't think anyone's going

1920
01:34:31,013 --> 01:34:33,572
Speaker 2: to investigate a house. People are going to look a

1921
01:34:34,053 --> 01:34:35,772
Speaker 2: people are going to notice that sixteen kigs have not

Speaker 20: a truck and trailer unit full of coal and his

1995
01:38:14,893 --> 01:38:19,412
Speaker 20: back tray opened and laid coal all the way up

1996
01:38:19,492 --> 01:38:23,213
Speaker 20: the center lane of that on a Sunday afternoon, and

1997
01:38:23,452 --> 01:38:26,372
Speaker 20: we had traffic on both sides because we were on

1998
01:38:26,452 --> 01:38:29,412
Speaker 20: a Sunday afternoon, and we just had to drive up

1999
01:38:29,452 --> 01:38:34,213
Speaker 20: the flame and coal. We had no choice. I got

2000
01:38:34,253 --> 01:38:35,933
Speaker 20: no idea how they cleaned that one up, But the

2001
01:38:35,973 --> 01:38:39,052
Speaker 20: whole lot empty out the back of his tray. So anyway,

2002
01:38:39,253 --> 01:38:41,572
Speaker 20: the third one was I worked with a mate who

2003
01:38:41,652 --> 01:38:44,532
Speaker 20: didn't turn up at work on Monday morning, and by

2004
01:38:44,652 --> 01:38:46,852
Speaker 20: lunchtime we were getting a bit concerned. And while I

2005
01:38:46,853 --> 01:38:49,173
Speaker 20: was working in Parts and North and he lived in

2006
01:38:49,253 --> 01:38:52,612
Speaker 20: parure Tour and he had a big Kings with car,

2007
01:38:53,253 --> 01:38:56,812
Speaker 20: a nice holding Kings with solid built brick. And he

2008
01:38:56,933 --> 01:38:59,612
Speaker 20: turned up about three o'clock in the afternoon. He had

2009
01:38:59,612 --> 01:39:02,372
Speaker 20: been coming to work and he came up the fire

2010
01:39:02,452 --> 01:39:06,133
Speaker 20: to a track, so coming the other way was a

2011
01:39:06,173 --> 01:39:10,053
Speaker 20: police car and they told him pull, so he pulled over,

2012
01:39:10,772 --> 01:39:13,253
Speaker 20: and then he realized it was a house coming, so

2013
01:39:13,412 --> 01:39:16,133
Speaker 20: he pulled over even more and went down into the ditch.

2014
01:39:17,053 --> 01:39:19,492
Speaker 20: And it was on a corner where he pulled over.

2015
01:39:19,893 --> 01:39:24,333
Speaker 20: The house came round the corner and dipped over towards

2016
01:39:24,412 --> 01:39:28,053
Speaker 20: his car, came through the front wind screen, through the

2017
01:39:28,133 --> 01:39:30,532
Speaker 20: whole car, and out in the back windscreen, and took

2018
01:39:30,532 --> 01:39:33,452
Speaker 20: the top off his car while he lay just underneath

2019
01:39:33,492 --> 01:39:35,812
Speaker 20: the steering wheel and his wife laid down in the

2020
01:39:35,853 --> 01:39:37,573
Speaker 20: passenger seat, shaved.

2021
01:39:37,253 --> 01:39:40,492
Speaker 2: The whole roof, basically turned the car into a convention, came.

2022
01:39:40,412 --> 01:39:43,013
Speaker 20: Off the car as the house went through the car.

2023
01:39:43,333 --> 01:39:46,572
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, and good god, you're talking.

Speaker 9: You go, you're go.

2122
01:44:10,333 --> 01:44:11,772
Speaker 2: You gotta count the ones, not the losses.

2123
01:44:11,853 --> 01:44:13,452
Speaker 3: Ninety percent of the sheep's not too bad.

2124
01:44:14,532 --> 01:44:16,253

2127
01:44:21,853 --> 01:44:23,692
Speaker 21: And shut the gate to the sheep, don't get out.

2128
01:44:26,452 --> 01:44:28,333

01:44:30,372 --> 01:44:31,013
Speaker 20: to get down there.

2131
01:44:33,013 --> 01:44:36,532
Speaker 2: Great, Sorry Morris, thank you for you col Morris. Years

2132
01:44:36,572 --> 01:44:41,772
Speaker 2: ago in London, Mussel Hill, I was following a Mussell hill.

2133
01:44:41,772 --> 01:44:43,732
Speaker 2: I was following a small track. It must have been

2134
01:44:43,732 --> 01:44:46,013
Speaker 2: a butcher's track. As it bounced through a pothole and

2135
01:44:46,093 --> 01:44:48,053
Speaker 2: going up the hill, the rear door flew open and

2136
01:44:48,093 --> 01:44:50,652
Speaker 2: half a dozen pig carcasses and heads fell out the

2137
01:44:50,692 --> 01:44:52,213
Speaker 2: back and caused quite the commotion.

2138
01:44:52,333 --> 01:44:52,933
Speaker 3: I bet it did.

2139
01:44:53,213 --> 01:44:59,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, carnage look slowly coming through from problems that have

2140
01:44:59,293 --> 01:45:01,892
Speaker 2: happened in England.

2141
01:45:02,013 --> 01:45:03,892
Speaker 3: Yeah, was it a bit more looseen? I mean it's

2142
01:45:03,933 --> 01:45:05,893
Speaker 3: loose here in New Zealand, clearly, but maybe it's a

2143
01:45:05,933 --> 01:45:07,532
Speaker 3: little bit more loose in the UK.

2144
01:45:08,933 --> 01:45:11,772
Speaker 2: Was on tour with the band once and parking in

2145
01:45:11,853 --> 01:45:15,772
Speaker 2: a parking building and the tour manager was driving the thing,

2146
01:45:16,213 --> 01:45:17,732
Speaker 2: the truck, and we were all on the back of

2147
01:45:17,732 --> 01:45:20,852
Speaker 2: the van and it was full of gear. But then

2148
01:45:21,013 --> 01:45:23,652
Speaker 2: the gear got unloaded and then he was driving out

2149
01:45:23,732 --> 01:45:26,652
Speaker 2: and because it had risen up, just got wedged in

2150
01:45:26,772 --> 01:45:29,852
Speaker 2: the down ramp. So the car was the rental van

2151
01:45:30,053 --> 01:45:32,372
Speaker 2: was like scraped along the roof and wedge because it

2152
01:45:32,452 --> 01:45:34,492
Speaker 2: was a different weight going out and it was going in.

2153
01:45:34,532 --> 01:45:37,173
Speaker 3: At least it was a rental I suppose, Yeah, one

2154
01:45:38,293 --> 01:45:42,173
Speaker 3: eighty the number to call Greg. I think we've finally

2155
01:45:42,173 --> 01:45:42,612
Speaker 3: got your back.

2156
01:45:42,652 --> 01:45:44,293
Speaker 2: He got Greg, he's out of the cime ees and

2157
01:45:44,333 --> 01:45:45,692
Speaker 2: I think we've got a good line now with you.

2158
01:45:46,812 --> 01:45:48,612
Speaker 16: Plus I'm also pulled over to the side of road.

2159
01:45:48,652 --> 01:45:51,572
Speaker 2: Now it's a beautiful clear line now, Greg.

2160
01:45:52,333 --> 01:45:52,532
Speaker 16: Yeah.

2161
01:45:52,612 --> 01:45:52,772
Speaker 20: Good.

2162
01:45:52,973 --> 01:45:54,333
Speaker 16: So we used to live in a place and it

2163
01:45:54,412 --> 01:45:55,973
Speaker 16: was our last day in the house. We were moving out.

2164
01:45:56,013 --> 01:45:58,012
Speaker 16: I had a couple of mates and now we're helping

2165
01:45:58,093 --> 01:46:00,452
Speaker 16: us move and I we used to have a two

2166
01:46:00,492 --> 01:46:02,372
Speaker 16: story house and we'd look next door to a swimming

2167
01:46:02,412 --> 01:46:05,492
Speaker 16: pool and the kids are in there. We always used

2168
01:46:05,532 --> 01:46:06,772
Speaker 16: to think, they've got to be so nice to have

2169
01:46:06,772 --> 01:46:09,572
Speaker 16: a swimming pool. And then this particular day, it was

2170
01:46:09,612 --> 01:46:12,812
Speaker 16: a bit in June. My wife was up there and

2171
01:46:12,893 --> 01:46:14,772
Speaker 16: she saw something floating in the pool, didn't think anything

2172
01:46:14,812 --> 01:46:18,492
Speaker 16: of it, and then just one last weep of the

2173
01:46:18,532 --> 01:46:21,732
Speaker 16: house was completely empty. I was waiting down with my

2174
01:46:21,812 --> 01:46:24,253
Speaker 16: mates by the truck because it was ready to go,

2175
01:46:24,333 --> 01:46:27,772
Speaker 16: and I heard this guttural scream. I raced back up

2176
01:46:28,053 --> 01:46:30,812
Speaker 16: the drive and my wife was at the front door

2177
01:46:30,893 --> 01:46:32,452
Speaker 16: door by that stage, and I said, go, go, go,

2178
01:46:32,652 --> 01:46:34,412
Speaker 16: she said, and I leaped up on the fence. She said,

2179
01:46:34,412 --> 01:46:36,572
Speaker 16: there's a kid in the pool, and I said, I

2180
01:46:36,652 --> 01:46:38,333
Speaker 16: can't see it, but I jumped off and there there

2181
01:46:38,412 --> 01:46:40,532
Speaker 16: was a little boy in the bottom of the pool,

2182
01:46:42,333 --> 01:46:46,333
Speaker 16: obviously drowned by that stage. I jumped and fully clothed,

2183
01:46:46,333 --> 01:46:51,772
Speaker 16: fished them out. We managed to revive them, and I

2184
01:46:51,812 --> 01:46:53,812
Speaker 16: couldn't get over the fence, and I was freezing cold.

2185
01:46:53,853 --> 01:46:54,732
Speaker 16: I had no more clothes.

2186
01:46:55,692 --> 01:46:56,572
Speaker 2: See you were nude.

2187
01:46:57,772 --> 01:47:00,052
Speaker 16: No no, no, I closed, but I had no more clothes.

2188
01:47:01,093 --> 01:47:03,572
Speaker 3: You keep to keep the just just to make clear.

2189
01:47:03,652 --> 01:47:07,213
Speaker 2: So you revived the boy and the boy was okay. Yeah,

2190
01:47:07,213 --> 01:47:09,093
Speaker 2: he was yet goodness.

2191
01:47:11,333 --> 01:47:15,093
Speaker 16: Best my life. But the moving story, but the moving

2192
01:47:15,133 --> 01:47:18,612
Speaker 16: story for it was just luck sheer because we were

2193
01:47:18,692 --> 01:47:19,093
Speaker 16: moving out.

2194
01:47:19,173 --> 01:47:23,372
Speaker 2: You know, Chicken, you originally spotted and didn't think anything

2195
01:47:23,452 --> 01:47:25,253
Speaker 2: of it because you was just something in the pool,

2196
01:47:25,572 --> 01:47:27,092
Speaker 2: but then then saw.

2197
01:47:26,933 --> 01:47:31,293
Speaker 16: Again No, not really, well, I said, there's more to

2198
01:47:31,372 --> 01:47:34,333
Speaker 16: the story. But because the woman next door used to

2199
01:47:34,412 --> 01:47:39,692
Speaker 16: somebay's new to tease me and so we we he's

2200
01:47:39,732 --> 01:47:42,612
Speaker 16: the reason. And then before that somebody used to fill

2201
01:47:42,652 --> 01:47:44,452
Speaker 16: and put the guy before that had filled the pool

2202
01:47:44,492 --> 01:47:46,572
Speaker 16: and this one had emptied it. So anyway, we were

2203
01:47:46,612 --> 01:47:49,692
Speaker 16: moving out, and then just the kid, little kid didn't

2204
01:47:49,812 --> 01:47:51,532
Speaker 16: like swimming in the pool, and Judy saw him in

2205
01:47:51,532 --> 01:47:52,333
Speaker 16: the pool and didn't.

2206
01:47:52,093 --> 01:47:52,772
Speaker 15: Think any of us.

2207
01:47:53,293 --> 01:47:57,692
Speaker 16: And then one last check because and then saw a

2208
01:47:57,772 --> 01:47:58,852
Speaker 16: dark shadow in the pool and.

2209
01:48:00,612 --> 01:48:00,892
Speaker 10: Chicken.

2210
01:48:01,293 --> 01:48:03,253
Speaker 16: So we got moved to where we were going, and

2211
01:48:03,333 --> 01:48:05,692
Speaker 16: I had wet clothes and just freezing cold for about

2212
01:48:05,732 --> 01:48:06,812
Speaker 16: four hours, but it didn't matter.

2213
01:48:07,893 --> 01:48:08,812
Speaker 20: Bet still want of.

2214
01:48:08,772 --> 01:48:09,532
Speaker 16: The be stars in my life.

2215
01:48:09,772 --> 01:48:12,412
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good on you man. To save someone's life

2216
01:48:12,492 --> 01:48:15,732
Speaker 2: like that, that's just phenomenal. And you know, God, the

2217
01:48:15,853 --> 01:48:17,732
Speaker 2: tragedy it would have been if you hadn't got there.

2218
01:48:17,893 --> 01:48:20,213
Speaker 3: Ye did you did you stay in contact with the

2219
01:48:20,253 --> 01:48:21,293
Speaker 3: boy or the or the family?

2220
01:48:22,452 --> 01:48:22,652
Speaker 20: Yeah?

Speaker 16: That the family completely changing life. They moved to Australia then.

2222
01:48:26,253 --> 01:48:28,253
Speaker 16: But the woman used to work in a shop that

01:48:28,293 --> 01:48:29,932
Speaker 16: I go into a generics, come give me a hag

2253
01:49:51,452 --> 01:49:54,372
Speaker 16: was just what happened. It was just a shock on

2254
01:49:54,412 --> 01:49:57,532
Speaker 16: the day because as I said, we left the house,

2255
01:49:58,333 --> 01:50:00,253
Speaker 16: I wasn't going back at the house. My wife was

2256
01:50:00,372 --> 01:50:02,972
Speaker 16: just so it was a moving story.

2257

Speaker 3: I appreciate that far out there as incredible, isn't it.

2260
01:50:11,772 --> 01:50:14,173
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean I need to do a first aid,

2261
01:50:14,173 --> 01:50:16,812
Speaker 2: of course, because I keep thinking, I keep thinking to myself,

2262
01:50:16,853 --> 01:50:18,372
Speaker 2: I need to do one because if I came across something,

2263
01:50:18,412 --> 01:50:19,213
Speaker 2: I don't really know what to do.

2264
01:50:19,452 --> 01:50:20,013
Speaker 3: Yea And.

2265
01:50:21,532 --> 01:50:25,053
Speaker 2: Recently a woman started having this sort of choking fit

2266
01:50:25,173 --> 01:50:26,852
Speaker 2: with when I was hanging out with my mate Joseph,

2267
01:50:27,412 --> 01:50:29,932
Speaker 2: and he went over and dealt with the situation awesomely.

2268
01:50:30,333 --> 01:50:32,173
Speaker 2: He took charge, like, did the old what do you

2269
01:50:32,253 --> 01:50:34,693
Speaker 2: call it, the heimanch Yeah, it was sort of complicated,

2270
01:50:34,732 --> 01:50:36,652
Speaker 2: helped her out, did that kind of stuff, and I

2271
01:50:36,812 --> 01:50:39,013
Speaker 2: just ran around in a circle. I was trying to

2272
01:50:39,213 --> 01:50:41,013
Speaker 2: pick up a phone, trying to do anything. That's kind

2273
01:50:41,013 --> 01:50:42,612
Speaker 2: of like when we support the Coffee Years today, A

2274
01:50:42,652 --> 01:50:45,692
Speaker 2: panicked yeh, But yeah, so that's I got to remember

2275
01:50:45,732 --> 01:50:47,053
Speaker 2: to do that. I got to remember to do a

2276
01:50:47,133 --> 01:50:50,053
Speaker 2: first aid course, because you would absolutely hate yourself if

2277
01:50:50,093 --> 01:50:52,452
Speaker 2: you're in a situation where you could save someone and

2278
01:50:52,853 --> 01:50:54,692
Speaker 2: you've seen it on the TV and you knew it

2279
01:50:54,772 --> 01:50:56,893
Speaker 2: was so easy to do a first aid course and

2280
01:50:56,933 --> 01:50:57,652
Speaker 2: you've just never done one.

2281
01:50:57,732 --> 01:50:59,293
Speaker 3: But can I say, with the coffee, I was pretty

2282
01:50:59,293 --> 01:51:01,572
Speaker 3: impressed that you whacked off the shirt straight away. I

2283
01:51:01,812 --> 01:51:04,412
Speaker 3: felt I was pretty useless. I was just chucking paper

2284
01:51:04,492 --> 01:51:07,652
Speaker 3: tails at you, whereas you whipped that off and put

2285
01:51:07,692 --> 01:51:09,692
Speaker 3: your T shirt on, So I thought, you know, you'd

2286
01:51:09,732 --> 01:51:11,173
Speaker 3: be good in an emergency.

2300
01:51:52,333 --> 01:51:55,572
Speaker 24: and the mate we had just moved the car in

2301
01:51:55,732 --> 01:51:58,013
Speaker 24: Auckland and we were taking the car trailer fact that

2302
01:51:58,093 --> 01:52:01,093
Speaker 24: we'd moved it with. And we were on the Northwestern

2303
01:52:01,173 --> 01:52:06,492
Speaker 24: Motorway between Peatter two and Henderson going west and I

2304
01:52:06,572 --> 01:52:09,052
Speaker 24: looked in the rear vision mirror. We're in the middle

2305
01:52:09,173 --> 01:52:11,412
Speaker 24: late and I could see this thing over taking us

2306
01:52:11,893 --> 01:52:16,093
Speaker 24: and it was a car trailer and yeah, it had

2307
01:52:16,173 --> 01:52:19,253
Speaker 24: come off the towball. And if we if we're not

2308
01:52:19,412 --> 01:52:20,693
Speaker 24: the medium barrier.

2309
01:52:21,213 --> 01:52:23,293
Speaker 16: And I thought to myself, Oh no, that's going to

2310
01:52:23,333 --> 01:52:24,772
Speaker 16: go spade over the barrier.

2311
01:52:25,053 --> 01:52:27,492
Speaker 24: But it's a sudden sharp left turn in front of

2312
01:52:27,612 --> 01:52:30,893
Speaker 24: us and shot into the ditch and went through it

2313
01:52:31,133 --> 01:52:33,452
Speaker 24: like that. The nose part of the tray went for

2314
01:52:33,532 --> 01:52:37,732
Speaker 24: a fence and so we quickly pulled over, ran over

2315
01:52:37,812 --> 01:52:39,213
Speaker 24: to try and pull it out of the fence. And

2316
01:52:39,293 --> 01:52:41,973
Speaker 24: there was a lady, a real estate agent showing some

2317
01:52:42,133 --> 01:52:46,292
Speaker 24: people that the trailer had splashed into.

2318
01:52:46,173 --> 01:52:48,973
Speaker 2: You know what that I mean at the time, that

2319
01:52:49,173 --> 01:52:53,532
Speaker 2: is horrible to deal with and but good result though

2320
01:52:53,893 --> 01:52:55,972
Speaker 2: you know so much worse could happen when your trailer

2321
01:52:56,013 --> 01:52:58,972
Speaker 2: starts passing you on the road. It's generally the next

2322
01:52:59,013 --> 01:53:00,173
Speaker 2: thing that's going to happen is not good.

2323
01:53:02,612 --> 01:53:04,452
Speaker 24: The lady that you should have seen the look on

2324
01:53:04,572 --> 01:53:07,612
Speaker 24: the face of the people. It was just hilarious when

2325
01:53:07,652 --> 01:53:10,013
Speaker 24: we manished the trailer out and take off with the

2326
01:53:10,093 --> 01:53:13,012
Speaker 24: trailer and I have seen it up my phone number

2327
01:53:13,013 --> 01:53:13,333
Speaker 24: down and.

2328
01:53:13,333 --> 01:53:14,173
Speaker 10: Giving it to it before.

2329
01:53:16,053 --> 01:53:16,812
Speaker 2: That is brilliant.

2330
01:53:17,173 --> 01:53:21,412
Speaker 3: It's for sharing that shaky good visualization. There picture that.

2331
01:53:21,492 --> 01:53:23,572
Speaker 2: That's happened in the movie where someone's going along and

2332
01:53:23,612 --> 01:53:26,412
Speaker 2: then they you look over and you see the thing. Oh,

2333
01:53:26,532 --> 01:53:29,093
Speaker 2: it's in the movie movie Hot Ride. Yeah, when he's

2334
01:53:29,253 --> 01:53:31,253
Speaker 2: in the final jump and he's in the air and

2335
01:53:31,293 --> 01:53:33,052
Speaker 2: then he looks over and he's not on his bike anymore.

2336
01:53:33,253 --> 01:53:34,893
Speaker 2: It's great movie hot right if you haven't seen it.

2337
01:53:35,532 --> 01:53:37,973
Speaker 3: A couple of ticks and then we might wrap up

2338
01:53:38,013 --> 01:53:40,892
Speaker 3: with another phone call. Guys came over the hill from

2339
01:53:41,093 --> 01:53:45,133
Speaker 3: Pooda Carnui, Dunedin to Port Charmers during a snowfall with

2340
01:53:45,213 --> 01:53:48,333
Speaker 3: the trailer loaded up with household goods car again sliding

2341
01:53:48,412 --> 01:53:50,972
Speaker 3: to the edge, which was a two hundred meter drop.

2342
01:53:51,652 --> 01:53:54,813
Speaker 3: Then I managed to stop it, but the trailer jackknifed

2343
01:53:54,853 --> 01:53:57,253
Speaker 3: and continued towards the edge. Was going to jump out

2344
01:53:57,333 --> 01:54:00,852
Speaker 3: then refuse. The dog was in the back seats that

2345
01:54:00,893 --> 01:54:03,492
Speaker 3: couldn't leave it. Their car stopped its slight a foot

2346
01:54:03,532 --> 01:54:05,892
Speaker 3: before the edgart was pumping overtime.

2347
01:54:06,492 --> 01:54:07,132
Speaker 23: I bet.

2348
01:54:08,732 --> 01:54:10,333
Speaker 3: That again a lot going on in.

2349
01:54:10,333 --> 01:54:13,492
Speaker 2: That that also cinematic being dragged over the edge by

2350
01:54:13,572 --> 01:54:17,852
Speaker 2: your trailer dog in the back, dog in the back Yeah, okay,

2351
01:54:18,213 --> 01:54:21,452
Speaker 2: many years ago helping my dad's shift stopped at traffic lights.

2352
01:54:21,853 --> 01:54:24,333
Speaker 2: Then when the lights went green, we took off, only

2353
01:54:24,412 --> 01:54:26,852
Speaker 2: for mum's drawers to fall off the trailer in the

2354
01:54:26,853 --> 01:54:29,372
Speaker 2: middle of intersection and the old man had to dart

2355
01:54:29,412 --> 01:54:31,492
Speaker 2: around the car picking up mum's nickers.

2356
01:54:32,013 --> 01:54:33,453

2360
01:54:42,093 --> 01:54:44,293
Speaker 2: trailer was not attached to the ute, just a load

2361
01:54:44,373 --> 01:54:47,373
Speaker 2: weight holding it. The trailer on the towball. Oh my god.

2374
01:55:18,453 --> 01:55:21,413
Speaker 8: Carva mat Well. I picked up this big old fridge

2375
01:55:22,053 --> 01:55:24,293
Speaker 8: a little bit. I realized that the lady in the

2376
01:55:24,413 --> 01:55:27,653
Speaker 8: shop had polished it with silicon, and I laid this

2377
01:55:27,812 --> 01:55:29,812
Speaker 8: fridge down on it side. I still had the back

2378
01:55:29,812 --> 01:55:33,413
Speaker 8: of the van up. I went out the driveway, looked

2379
01:55:33,573 --> 01:55:36,852
Speaker 8: steen the gap brought it and as I went out,

2380
01:55:37,173 --> 01:55:40,733
Speaker 8: the fridge shot out the back and into the intersection.

2381
01:55:42,733 --> 01:55:45,573
Speaker 19: I had a huge audience.

2382
01:55:45,213 --> 01:55:46,853
Speaker 21: Wapped and me put this fridge.

2383
01:55:48,133 --> 01:55:49,493

01:55:50,653 --> 01:55:51,653

2385
01:55:51,853 --> 01:55:54,573
Speaker 8: We had held up, held up the busses and everything.

2386
01:55:55,772 --> 01:55:58,653
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the ideal result is it doesn't go

01:55:58,733 --> 01:56:01,093
Speaker 2: flying out the back, but the good results and no

2388
