Speaker 2: Kicking us off this morning, we have got Kevin mil

4
00:00:15,093 --> 00:00:15,933
Speaker 2: Good morning, Kevin.

5
00:00:17,093 --> 00:00:21,333
Speaker 3: It's so funny Frantisica. I think the audience probably knows

6
00:00:21,373 --> 00:00:25,453
Speaker 3: that we're not both huge supportative ACT, but here we

7
00:00:25,493 --> 00:00:29,773
Speaker 3: are both congratulating ACT on some of the things that

8
00:00:29,813 --> 00:00:30,773
Speaker 3: they're doing well.

9
00:00:30,813 --> 00:00:32,653
Speaker 2: And I started off but heavy, So you're going to

10
00:00:32,773 --> 00:00:36,293
Speaker 2: lighten us up a little bit. You've got some kind

11
00:00:36,333 --> 00:00:37,413
Speaker 2: words for David Seymour.

12
00:00:38,173 --> 00:00:40,533
Speaker 3: Yeah. The one thing I think David Seamo was good

13
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:44,933
Speaker 3: at is identifying silliness and rules and regulations. I remember

14
00:00:44,973 --> 00:00:47,413
Speaker 3: back in the nineteen eighties or it might have been

15
00:00:47,453 --> 00:00:50,973
Speaker 3: the nineties, doing a Fairgo story about a small hair

16
00:00:51,093 --> 00:00:55,453
Speaker 3: salon in the Wier Wrapper. The owner, the hairstylist herself,

17
00:00:55,933 --> 00:00:59,773
Speaker 3: had received a warning. She hadn't realized that it was

18
00:00:59,813 --> 00:01:02,813
Speaker 3: a breach of the health regulations to offer a glass

19
00:01:02,973 --> 00:01:06,893
Speaker 3: of wine no charge on a hot wire rapper afternoon,

20
00:01:07,213 --> 00:01:10,413
Speaker 3: But yes it was. I couldn't believe it myself. Actually

21
00:01:10,693 --> 00:01:13,013
Speaker 3: I took a film crew up there. I think it

22
00:01:13,053 --> 00:01:15,693
Speaker 3: was a Marterton when we broke the law again. I

23
00:01:15,693 --> 00:01:19,453
Speaker 3: suppose filming a woman sipping a savignon blanc while waiting

24
00:01:19,533 --> 00:01:22,893
Speaker 3: for ad I remember we got an amusing story out

25
00:01:22,933 --> 00:01:25,693
Speaker 3: of it, but because the change was required in the law,

26
00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:30,573
Speaker 3: I don't think much progress was made. But finally this week,

27
00:01:30,893 --> 00:01:35,493
Speaker 3: some forty years later, the stupidity of the laws, the

28
00:01:35,533 --> 00:01:40,293
Speaker 3: pointless bureaucracy, as Seymour would put it, around headdresses and barbers,

29
00:01:40,653 --> 00:01:43,693
Speaker 3: is to be axed. A full revoke of the health

30
00:01:43,773 --> 00:01:48,173
Speaker 3: regulations relating to hairdressers is the aim, though I see

31
00:01:48,293 --> 00:01:51,893
Speaker 3: changes regarding the supply of alcohol has to go through

32
00:01:52,013 --> 00:01:56,053
Speaker 3: more legislation, but surely no one's going to be prowling

33
00:01:56,093 --> 00:02:00,413
Speaker 3: around salons sniffing out wine in the meantime. Good on

34
00:02:00,573 --> 00:02:02,893
Speaker 3: David Seymour for moving on this. I think he's got

35
00:02:02,933 --> 00:02:08,613
Speaker 3: a knack a liking for really exposing unnecessary bureaucracy, a

36
00:02:08,653 --> 00:02:12,333
Speaker 3: bit like the late Bob Jones. One might even say

37
00:02:12,333 --> 00:02:16,853
Speaker 3: that Seymour should be encouraged and his endeavors to eliminate bureaucracy.

38
00:02:17,693 --> 00:02:20,213
Speaker 3: It might distract them from his other endeavors to share

39
00:02:20,253 --> 00:02:21,653
Speaker 3: that haven't been so positive.

40
00:02:23,573 --> 00:02:25,893
Speaker 2: We're a bit of a funny looks country, aren't we, Kevin.

41
00:02:25,973 --> 00:02:27,933
Speaker 2: We're a bit of a forty years we've been having

42
00:02:27,933 --> 00:02:28,573
Speaker 2: this discussion.

43
00:02:29,333 --> 00:02:32,613
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yes, that's right. I think a lot of

44
00:02:32,653 --> 00:02:34,693
Speaker 3: the a lot of the hairdressers. I don't think even

45
00:02:34,733 --> 00:02:35,853
Speaker 3: realized it was a problem.

46
00:02:36,173 --> 00:02:37,933
Speaker 2: No, because I was thinking back and I'm gone, I'm

47
00:02:37,933 --> 00:02:41,053
Speaker 2: pretty sure in the early or two thousands, if I was,

48
00:02:41,293 --> 00:02:42,613
Speaker 2: you know, when I was working full time and I

49
00:02:42,613 --> 00:02:44,533
Speaker 2: had to get my haircut in the evenings, I'm pretty

50
00:02:44,533 --> 00:02:46,573
Speaker 2: sure I was offered a glass of wine then, and

51
00:02:46,613 --> 00:02:50,093
Speaker 2: then that kind of just disappeared right up and disappeared.

52
00:02:50,773 --> 00:02:54,773
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, a funny thing actually happened. My son who's

53
00:02:54,813 --> 00:02:58,693
Speaker 3: in London, had met a guy in his bar that

54
00:02:58,773 --> 00:03:02,293
Speaker 3: he runs over there who told him my mother was

55
00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:06,053
Speaker 3: on fair Go once with your dad and it turns

56
00:03:06,093 --> 00:03:11,013
Speaker 3: out that she was the f from the wrapper ago. Yeah.

57
00:03:11,053 --> 00:03:13,293
Speaker 2: It's it is a small world we live in, isn't

58
00:03:13,293 --> 00:03:16,893
Speaker 2: it very much. I suppose there's some issues around the

59
00:03:16,933 --> 00:03:18,773
Speaker 2: fact that, you know, we put a lot of pressure

60
00:03:18,813 --> 00:03:24,533
Speaker 2: on you know, institutions to have rules about making sure

61
00:03:24,533 --> 00:03:26,933
Speaker 2: people drink properly and drink well, and you have like

62
00:03:27,013 --> 00:03:28,453
Speaker 2: a license and you have to go through all those

63
00:03:28,493 --> 00:03:31,773
Speaker 2: sort of you know, hoops and things. So I suppose

64
00:03:31,773 --> 00:03:33,293
Speaker 2: it's sort of got to be You've got to you know,

65
00:03:33,573 --> 00:03:35,373
Speaker 2: got to make sure there's a certain amount of responsibility

66
00:03:35,373 --> 00:03:36,733
Speaker 2: that you can't just be saying to anyone, you know,

67
00:03:36,733 --> 00:03:38,213
Speaker 2: oh yeah, of course you can be serving drinks, and

68
00:03:38,213 --> 00:03:39,453
Speaker 2: you can be serving drinks. I suppose you have to

69
00:03:39,453 --> 00:03:41,173
Speaker 2: do a little bit of you know, you have to

70
00:03:41,373 --> 00:03:46,213
Speaker 2: notify still you can still do it. Yeah, oh yeah, true, yeah.

71
00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:48,493
Speaker 3: I mean, as long as they're not running all side

72
00:03:48,533 --> 00:03:51,853
Speaker 3: business as a bar, basically, I think that's probably You're

73
00:03:51,853 --> 00:03:54,093
Speaker 3: the only thing you need to watch out for. Treading

74
00:03:54,173 --> 00:03:58,453
Speaker 3: lesson that are absolutely fine and frankly to be encouraged.

75
00:03:59,493 --> 00:04:01,733
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Kevin. Nice to hear from you

76
00:04:01,773 --> 00:04:04,253

78
00:04:06,053 --> 00:04:07,813
