1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Setting the news agenda and digging into the issues. The 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: Mic Hosking. 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 2: Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate, your local experts across residential, 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 2: commercial and rural news talks head been. 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 3: I mean, welcome today the Lord Police Commissioner on his 6 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 3: first day gets to open a new police station. That's 7 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 3: not bad going change coming to NCEA level one. The 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 3: Prime Minister's in s's John Grisham along with Catherine Field 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 3: who's in France, and Ron Little who's hunkered down from 10 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 3: bert in Britain. Asking it is seven past six. Welcome 11 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 3: to the day. I know the Prime minist has been 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 3: giving the obligatory round of one on one interviews to 13 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 3: various media outlets to mark one year of the coalition. 14 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: It contains the usual stuff you would expect it to contain. 15 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 3: For what it's worth, I give them an easy seven 16 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 3: out of ten. This is the first proper MMP government, 17 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 3: of course, that we've had. Labour pretended the twenty seventeen 18 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 3: through twenty deal was the real thing, when in reality 19 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: the Greens weren't properly part of it. So three parties 20 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: all signed up, all fully engaged. Has it worked? Answer? Yes? 21 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: What about the treaty bill? I hear a few of 22 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: the more hysterical cry out. Even if you get carried 23 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 3: away by that, you can't argue that mainly this lot 24 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 3: get on fine. In Germany, their three party deal, of course, 25 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 3: has collapsed. Our three party deals rock solid. It's never 26 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 3: stopped surprising me. The media busy themselves still looking for 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 3: cracks and not giving appropriate weight to the idea that 28 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 3: the reason there are three parties is because they don't 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 3: all agree on the same stuff. Otherwise they wouldn't be 30 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 3: three parties. MMP has suffered because of two main issues, 31 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: one party's not getting on, two smaller parties vanishing while 32 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: in government. So far in this arrangement, neither seems to 33 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 3: be happening. All three parties continue to poll roughly where 34 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: they started. All three parties have adhered to the agreement. 35 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: Perhaps if you're handing out prizes, you could argue in 36 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: New Zealand, first are the best performers for Noah the 37 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: reason than they actually look not just like they aren't 38 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: going to blow the place up, but there I suggest 39 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: constructive Peter's is outstanding as Foreign Minister Jones as a 40 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 3: revelation in a variety of areas, act have real heft 41 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: in the workplace, reform, children's matters, the Treaty debate, schools 42 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: and regulation. The NATS have very good performers and education, 43 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: trade and infrastructure. Downside, things aren't moving at the pace 44 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 3: they should be or more importantly, need to be more, more, 45 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 3: more needs to be done. This country is in shocking 46 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: shape and needs urgent surgery, more doing, fewer announcements, but 47 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: one year in overall there is a lot more on 48 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 3: the upside than the other side. 49 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety. 50 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 4: Six, Yes is the talking point in the UK and 51 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 4: what we are doing as an organization is continuing to 52 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 4: warning and informing the communities across the country. So I 53 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 4: urge people to keep up to date with the warnings 54 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 4: that we are putting out. 55 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: Remarkably they're managed to make them. 56 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 5: With the political this government inherited from the previous government 57 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 5: flood defenses that are in the worst condition on record. 58 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 5: Now we've allocated in the budget two point four billion 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 5: pounds to upgrade our flood defenses. 60 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 3: Bedwell, that doesn't stop the crime though. The shooting in London, 61 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 3: the thirty four year old. 62 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 6: Male for sustained for tent life changing injuries, whilst the 63 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 6: eight year old girl remains in surgery, although we do 64 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 6: not believe her injuries to be life threatening. 65 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 7: At this time. 66 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: And to the war where the Russians look like they've 67 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 3: grabbed Britt fighting for the Ukrainian. 68 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 8: He says he formerly served in the British Army and 69 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 8: that he signed up to fight in Ukraine's international legion. 70 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 8: He appears to have his hands tied behind his back 71 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 8: in this footage, and at one point he actually appears 72 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 8: with tape over his eyes. 73 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: Higher up, the pushes on to keep the support flowing. 74 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 5: It's hugely important at this G seven that all colleagues 75 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 5: across the G seven continue to stand with Ukraine for 76 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 5: as long as it lasts. 77 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: Then to the rebuild of the Tories. Then you leader 78 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: was out espousing the value of hard work and success. 79 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 9: Capitalism is not a dirty word. Wealth is not a 80 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 9: dirty word. Profit is not a dirty word. But we 81 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 9: need to start explaining how these things deliver for the 82 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 9: people out there. 83 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: Finally, to the Court of California, Lyle and Eric Menendez 84 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: there are today.

But the Lada a couple of weeks back, 86 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: you remember recommended they be recent. Instead, this is pricking 87 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: your interest. Netflix Abil a little something for you. Neither 88 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: of them have been seen in public since nineteen ninety six. 89 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: The sixteen seats by the Way in the public gallery 90 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 3: offered via a lottery. There will be no cameras, no 91 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: cell phones allowed in the court. The status hearing as 92 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 3: their well it's a status. We'll see what actually happens. 93 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 3: That schedule for seven o'clock this morning our time, ten 94 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: o'clock California time. That is news of the world in 95 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 3: nineteen couple of quickies. Singapore's inflation is training the right direction. 96 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 3: Then number out this morning one point four four October 97 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: September was two. So car prizes are dropping, Rental properties 98 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: are easing a little bit there, so that's good. The 99 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 3: EU is going after the Chinese on that brandy business 100 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: as well. They're going straight to the wto. So we'll 101 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 3: see you in ten years and see what happens. Twelve 102 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: past six. 103 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio how 104 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 2: It By News talks. 105 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: B Breadford that he was the other news I need 106 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: to give you best selling novelist. Of course, she's died 107 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: out forty novels over the years. A Woman of Substance, 108 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: probably the most famous, that sold thirty million copies, seven sequels, 109 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: TV adaption the whole thing. Anyway, she died over night 110 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 3: at the age of ninety one. Good life, fourteen past six. 111 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: You having funds management, Greg Smith, morning to you, morning 112 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 3: you Mike. You gotta feel sorry for you in New Zealand. 113 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 3: I mean, if you've got no engines that work, I 114 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: mean you can't do a lot of flying, can you really? Oh? 115 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 10: Absolutely? And you know Boeing's problems or in New Zealand's 116 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 10: problems be a little bit different with evers. So yeah, 117 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 10: they had their half year earnings update you, so it 118 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 10: was actually better than fed. They also had their investor 119 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 10: day and then veiled a few inities. But yeah, certainly 120 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 10: been facing some turbunce and some headwinds. So looking for 121 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 10: the first half of twenty twenty five natural year, they 122 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 10: see pretext unions in the age of one hundred and 123 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 10: twenty two hundred and sixty million dollars. So to give 124 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 10: you an idea a year ago, in the first half 125 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 10: of it was one hundred and eighty five million, so 126 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 10: obviously down quite a bit. But yeah, aircraft shortage has 127 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 10: been a real problem maintenance delay. So they've actually had 128 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 10: sixteen percent of their entire fleet out of action at 129 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 10: some point during the first half of the financial year. 130 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 10: So pretty hard when you're facing that. And unfortunately, I 131 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 10: don't see these availability issues getting any better at least 132 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 10: until twenty twenty six, so they're probably going to have 133 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 10: to lease some more aircraft, you would imagine. So yeah, 134 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 10: hit by a self economic environment. You look at corporate 135 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 10: travel that's down double digit percentage over the past year. 136 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 10: But there's some good news here. They're seeing some signs 137 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 10: of recovery recently. Government spending no surprise, that's fawn down 138 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 10: by twenty five percent on a year ago cutbacks. Travel 139 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 10: demand is subdued. It's hard to see that getting much better. 140 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 10: But look on the good news side of things. They 141 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 10: are looking other ways to drive the bottom line and 142 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 10: a big initiative Mike is upgrading and remodeling their long 143 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 10: haul cabin So there's basically going to be more premium economy, 144 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 10: more business class seats. So it's going to reduce overall 145 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 10: capacity when you look at the dream miners, but it's 146 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 10: going to add thirty percent more business in premium economy. 147 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 10: Seats by twenty thirty. Obviously they'll be chidding a bit 148 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 10: more for those also looking to sort of improve things 149 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 10: as relates to cargoes to the targeting five and a 150 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 10: million dollars worth of games by twenty eight and also 151 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 10: looking obviously to invest in more fuel efficient aircraft, so 152 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 10: that should help as well with the They're facing some 153 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 10: costs increases and higher landing charges, but the basic message 154 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 10: was that the loss making days are over, there's brightness 155 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 10: on the horizon, and the updates seemed to be better 156 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 10: than fair. The shares rose two point eight percent, of 157 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 10: of course, started down heavily since pre COVID and down 158 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 10: around about fifteen percent year to day. 159 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: What about retail sales? I got the word flat? Is 160 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: that fair? 161 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 10: Pretty fair and a bit of very much a mixed bag. 162 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 10: That's probably being a little bit kind, So set us 163 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 10: on this. Reported numbers yesterday in retail sales for the 164 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 10: September quarter, so on a nominal basis, they were down 165 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 10: zero point seven percent from June to thirty billion dollars. 166 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 10: Volumes were down zero point one percent, so pretty flat. 167 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 10: There the ninth consecutive quarterly drop, but yeah, a bit 168 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 10: better than expected. But you look at it on a 169 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 10: regional basis, here not a lot to be positive about. 170 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 10: Fifteen of the sixteen regions had falls Aukhan down point 171 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 10: nine percent, Wellington down one point three percent. Most industries, 172 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 10: Mike and doing it tough. Ten of the fifteen industries 173 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 10: had lower sales volumes in September twenty four quarter compared 174 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 10: with June. Was a little bit of brightness. Mode of 175 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 10: vehicles and parts retailing, it was up four point three percent. 176 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 10: It can be a bit lumpy. Electronics and electrical goods retail, 177 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 10: and that was up four point six percent, but grocery 178 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 10: spend lower, food and beverage's lower, department stores lower, that 179 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 10: was down around two percent. So you just look at 180 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 10: it on a year ago basis, that shows you how 181 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 10: soft things have been. So actual retail sales down almost 182 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 10: three percent compared with the September twenty twenty three quarter. So, Mike, 183 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 10: we've got Black Friday coming up, Henry, so there might 184 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 10: be a bit riding on that. It looks like consumers 185 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 10: haven't got their wallets out just yet. Quite a few 186 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 10: saying that the September quarter might be the low point. 187 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 10: We've got the tax carts we've got cost of living 188 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 10: pressures easing, and of course we've got those lower interest 189 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 10: rates feeding through. But yeah, it might be a bit 190 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 10: early to call that, but time will tell. One I 191 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 10: think it does suggest is that GDP growth is likely 192 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 10: to be challenged at least in the their term, although 193 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 10: we won't get those September called a GDP numbers till 194 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 10: just before Christmas. 195 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: How about that Kiwi fruit? 196 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 10: Oh absolutely, so these are this is trade does this 197 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 10: is really good news to sort of close out on. 198 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 10: So kiwi fruit exports they rose one hundred and thirty 199 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 10: three million in October, should say, to one hundred and 200 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 10: forty six million dollars. That's up one thousand and seventy 201 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 10: eight percent. So you look at the export values so 202 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 10: far the season three point four billion dollars. You look 203 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 10: at the year ago two point four billions, so a 204 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 10: billion a here, just amazing. And overall, fred exports did 205 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 10: pretty well. Other export commodities doing well, milk, powder, butter 206 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 10: and cheese that was up sixteen percent, no surprise there. 207 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 10: And yeah, exports rose seven and a half percent month 208 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 10: on month to five point eight billion dollars. In ports 209 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 10: they rose a bit as well, by three percent over opshot. 210 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 10: What might was that the monthly trade deficit for October 211 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 10: was one point five billions. That's down around about six 212 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 10: hundred million from September. So that was good news. And 213 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 10: you look at it on a country basis, China's doing 214 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 10: pretty well, up eight percent there compared to a year ago. 215 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 10: In terms of exports, Australia, EU was up as well, 216 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 10: Japan was up, and on the imports front, year was 217 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 10: a bit of a nicked bag. We're important to just 218 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 10: speaking on any news, and there's lots of sort of 219 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 10: aircraft and parts imports coming through, but yeah, lower motor 220 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 10: vehicles and parts, particularly from Japan. 221 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: But looking at an. 222 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 10: Annual basis, exports were sixty nine point seven billions. It 223 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 10: was at one point three million from year ago. Imports 224 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 10: were down five point nine billion from previous years. Annual 225 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 10: trade deficit was nine billion, and it compares to October 226 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 10: twenty twenty three when it was fourteen point eight. So 227 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 10: good news there and we might see him some more 228 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 10: improvement MIC with a weakening currency. 229 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 3: Give me the other numbers. So we're talking. 230 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 10: About another record high for the Dow. So there's been 231 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 10: a very positive response to Trump's pick for the Treasury Secretary. 232 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 10: It seems he might water down some was protectionist policies. 233 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 10: So the Dow is that point seven percent, forty four 234 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 10: six one, A S and P five hundred up point 235 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 10: three percent, as is the Narstak.

The vote will decide whether 337 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 3: to move forward with the idea and if so how 338 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 3: I'm now former leader and Finance spokesperson David Cunliff is 339 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 3: with us on this David, morning to you, good morning. 340 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 3: Make the history of it and the various attempts within 341 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 3: the Labor Party over the years to get it enacted. 342 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: How will that play do you think this weekend? 343 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 12: As you say, it's an idea that's been around a 344 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 12: long time. New Zealand's almost year can develop world and 345 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 12: not having a capital gains tax, so it's prettymature debate now. 346 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 12: It's almost I would have thought a no brainer. But 347 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 12: let's just see it the. 348 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 3: Mat for the members, what do you reckon will happen? 349 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 13: I don't have any. 350 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 12: Side knowledge on this, but my sense is that both 351 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 12: the finance spokesperson Barbara Edmunds and the really new sposed 352 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 12: person Debra will probably favor CGT. But I think that 353 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 12: they'll leave it to the members to kick the boarder around. 354 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 12: There's a lot of reasons why you do the CGT. 355 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 12: It's fair, it takes a little bit of the heat 356 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 12: of property speculation that evens up in centers between asset 357 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 12: classes to help business work and capital go forward. And 358 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 12: you can use it for it can come tax offset 359 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 12: and you know, if you want a broad based, low 360 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 12: rate tax system, you probably want to cut all sorts 361 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 12: of incoumbers. They're from labor or from capital, and it's 362 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 12: just the smart and fair thing to do. 363 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 3: And love you do you offset it with some sort 364 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 3: of compromise elsewhere or do you just sell it the 365 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: way you've just sold it. 366 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 12: I think it's very possible to over time use it 367 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 12: off sets and income tax. So you know, you teach 368 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 12: us doctors your farm and your farmers can take less 369 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 12: growth of or a cut in income tax in exchange 370 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 12: for realized capital gains usually excluding the family home being 371 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 12: brought in at some. 372 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 7: Sort of rate. 373 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 12: Just bordance tax basement means can give off sets elsewhere. 374 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 3: What about the politics of it, Say you're going and 375 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 3: if the pollcasters are right, you've got some real growth 376 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 3: back in the economy. By twenty twenty six, You've got 377 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 3: a national lead government that goes, not only do we 378 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: not increase taxes, we're looking to cut them. The economy's rolling. 379 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 3: How do you sell that in an election? 380 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 12: You Well, firstly, this is new. In the last couple 381 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 12: of elections, CGT's actually poled really well, and one might, 382 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 12: with a wry smile on your case, say the CGT 383 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 12: poll better than the Labor Party, so it's unlikely to 384 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 12: be a net vote loser, and most middle grand national 385 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 12: voters I know would also support a CGT. Not so 386 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 12: a wealth tax. I mean a wealth tax has got 387 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 12: a retrospective element sometimes because it goes to accumulated wealth 388 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 12: and high wealth individuals might vote with their feet. So 389 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 12: I think that's a much risky proposition. I think Labour 390 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 12: should be moderate here and just do a sensible, relatively 391 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 12: low rate board based CGT. 392 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: Good insight, appreciate it. David Candler, former Labour Party leader, 393 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 3: of course, ninety minute away from seven, Mike, how do 394 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: you fix a country with no money? Previous government spent 395 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 3: money we didn't have for six years. Be very careful 396 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 3: what you wish for, Mike. When the Labour Party justifies 397 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: introducing attacks like CGT because of other countries having it, 398 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 3: I find that a week and lazy excuse, Mike. I 399 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 3: can get out of the capital gainst tax. I just 400 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 3: leave the country. Well, the problem with that, Keith is 401 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 3: you've just heard most countries have a CGT, so you'd 402 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 3: leave the country to walk into a CGT. Mike, maybe 403 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 3: some of your correspondences who gave this government a six 404 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 3: out of ten or worse, need to remember that you 405 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 3: can't make chicken salad out of chicken. You know what. 406 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: Nineteen to two The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast 407 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks. 408 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 3: EP CGT's been well received. Mike's CGT is certainly a 409 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 3: no brainer if you want to ensure this country loses 410 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: what's left of its First World status. Mike. Of course, 411 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 3: Label will vote for a CGT. That's all they know 412 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 3: is tax. Mike. Labour's issue with raising revenue by whatever 413 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: sort of tax has nothing to do with how they 414 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 3: gather the revenue. Their repeated record shows they will squander 415 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 3: ineffectively whatever they managed to extort. Mike, all Labour can 416 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 3: strategize about is how to take more of the pie, 417 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 3: not how to grow the pie. 418 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 14: Sixteen to two International Correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance 419 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 14: Peace of mind for New Zealand. 420 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 3: Business chasin feel very good. Choose them only for you 421 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 3: very good, which is right, Give the uptick if you 422 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: want in the War House. The G seven handling all 423 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 3: of this. 424 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 15: Oh, the G seven Foreign Ministers meeting at the moment, 425 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 15: initially just outside of Rome. There is real concern that 426 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 15: Ukraine is now entering what it's third winter of the war. 427 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 15: We're seeing the American sector of state. Lincoln's the meeting, 428 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 15: trying to push thing through because this, of course will 429 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 15: be his last meetings as a member of the G 430 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 15: seven Foreign Ministers. Today, well, Monday, in fact, the big 431 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 15: focus was on another flashpoint of course we're dealing with here, 432 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 15: which is Israel's Middle East. They're hoping that they could 433 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 15: come up with some sort of ceasfire agreement. They've been 434 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 15: joined at the meeting by various representatives of Middle East nations. 435 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 15: Haven't heard anything from that yet. 436 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: But also I. 437 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 15: Think we're going to at Tuesday, which is going to 438 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 15: be the big day when they look at Ukraine. They've 439 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 15: got certainly looking through different eyes, Mike, because it's not 440 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 15: forget last week that President Putin said that Keith's use 441 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 15: of those American and British longer range missiles had completely 442 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 15: changed the dimension of the conflict in Ukraine. It said 443 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 15: that was now a sort of a war, let's say, 444 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 15: a war that's got the characteristics of a global war. 445 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 15: So they're going to be looking at that, looking at 446 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 15: how they can possibly maintain the military and economic supplies 447 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 15: to Ukraine, bearing a mind that in early twenty twenty five, 448 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 15: Donald Trump will return to the Oval Office and then 449 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 15: the cards will be shuffled around. Our meantime, Europe has 450 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 15: Ukraine on its doorstep exactly. 451 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 3: So last week we were talking about the ferns and 452 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 3: swedes and all of that, and they're handing out brochures 453 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: to get ready for a war and how to survive 454 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 3: for three weeks and all that sort of Now we've 455 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 3: got bunkers and shelters in Germany. Is there really that 456 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: over the level of genuine fear? 457 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 15: There's a fear among a lot of people that not 458 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 15: enough as being seen to be done against the possible threat. 459 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 15: And I think this is coming more not so much 460 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 15: from what's actually happening in Ukraine, but more from what 461 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 15: a lot of the military people are telling us about 462 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 15: that this is a different type of war now that 463 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 15: Western Europe is having to deal with all sorts of 464 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 15: attacks against critical infrastructure. It just looked last week two 465 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 15: telecom cables were severed in the Baltics. We're seeing what 466 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 15: just a couple of months ago was in July and 467 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 15: Leipzig and Germany, and scendury devices hidden in pustles and warehouses, 468 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 15: disinformation campaigns. There's just a lot of people thinking, Wow, 469 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 15: there's a lot going on. The French head of the 470 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 15: Armed Forces has said quite clearly in an interview that 471 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 15: NATO doesn't have the tools for this type of what 472 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 15: he called a sort of gray zone competition, which involves 473 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 15: critical infrastructure. So I think that is where we're looking at, 474 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 15: and which is why, of course, in the last couple 475 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 15: of days we've see the Germans admitt that they're going 476 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 15: to come up with an app that people will be 477 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 15: able to look at on the telephones, which will show 478 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 15: places they can go bunkers, underground train stations in case 479 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 15: they need urgent shelter. 480 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 3: Wow, how's Lopin going to bring down the government? I 481 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 3: thought she's busy in court. 482 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 15: Ah, she's busy in court too. Final down that is 483 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 15: going to be Friday, what she's said. And she came 484 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 15: out of a meeting with the Prime Minister on Monday morning, 485 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 15: saying that there are certain red lines she's got with 486 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 15: next year's budget, and she said that the Prime Minister 487 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 15: didn't seem to be listening to her, that the Prime 488 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 15: Minister just told her back what was going to be 489 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 15: in the budget. So here's what happens back. They're not 490 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 15: going to get through the budget through Parliament, so they're 491 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 15: going to have to put it through on a decree. 492 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 15: Lapen has said if they try and put it through 493 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 15: on a decree, she will vote a centsire motion as 494 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 15: she'll go for a cential motion again the government. Now 495 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 15: that could also be agreed with the far Laft who 496 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 15: are also anti this particular government, anti this budget, and 497 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 15: they have said if he tries to push it on 498 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 15: a decree, they of course will vote for an essential motion. 499 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 15: So all eyes on December eighteenth, which is when this 500 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 15: budget has to go through. 501 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 3: By fantastic, you are so good, we'll get you back Thursday. 502 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 3: Catherine Field in France Boris this morning, just before we 503 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 3: leave Europe. By the way, in Romania they been having 504 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 3: a vote for the presidency. There's a guy called Jiugescu 505 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 3: who has won the first round of the elections. Is 506 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 3: this surprising. Oh yes it is, because most pre election 507 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 3: polls have projected he would receive single digit support. What 508 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 3: he ended up with was twenty two point nine four 509 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,239 Speaker 3: let's call that twenty three percent, and he's won it. 510 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 3: He's an ultranationalist, he opposes military aid for the Ukraine. 511 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 3: He's mainly campaigned on TikTok and he's popular. Fell short 512 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 3: of the fifty percent. So he's up against a woman 513 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 3: called Lasconi, who's the leader of the opposition center right 514 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 3: Union Save Romania USR party, who came second at nineteen 515 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 3: point one seven percent of the vote, and they will 516 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: have a runoff in December the eighth. So another one 517 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 3: of these interesting elections to watch. Eleven away from seven. 518 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: My costing breakfast with a Veta Retirement, Communities, News Talks, ADVs. 519 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: It's interesting. It's reading a very good piece yesterday on 520 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: the success of Putin's war from the Russian point of view, 521 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 3: and a bit of polling's been done and there's a 522 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 3: growing well, a couple of things happening. One, a good 523 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 3: number of people want some sort of initiation of peace talks, 524 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 3: but equally, at the same time, the number of people 525 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 3: who accept the use of nuclear weapons is rising. So 526 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 3: almost half of these people surveyed in Russia found the 527 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 3: use of nuclear weapons unacceptable, and that's a slight increase 528 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 3: since last year, wh the number who considered it acceptable 529 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: was thirty four percent. So of course they don't hear 530 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 3: a lot of it, you know. They what's really going 531 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: on versus what Putin tells him is going on is 532 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 3: two different things. What exactly is you're share of the 533 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 3: money someone else has worked hard to earn. Labour seems 534 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 3: to think it's the majority of it. Well, that's true. 535 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 3: Look at the top tax rate in this country. It's 536 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 3: thirty nine cents add GST on front that you're well 537 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 3: in excess of half of everything you and you're handing 538 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 3: over to the government. It's always interesting how labor want tax, Mike, 539 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: don't tell me what it's for, just we just want it. 540 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: If we trusted labor with capital gains, it might be fine, 541 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 3: but we certainly don't. The role model of Singapore or 542 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 3: Hong Kong, the Switzerland, no CGT, simple tax and as 543 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 3: little as possible is the answer. Sex away from seven 544 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 3: all the ins and the ouse. 545 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: It's the fizz with business favor. 546 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 2: Take your business productivity to the next level, right. 547 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 3: Buttle up, This is insane. Tourism industry is calling. Next 548 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 3: year twenty twenty five, economies start to pick back up 549 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 3: and we start to apparently start to travel. So booking 550 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 3: dot Com has asked us what we're looking at doing 551 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: next year. Nine key things. One I don't even know 552 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 3: that I'll get through nine because one I'll run out 553 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 3: of time, will be on my head, I'll explode. 554 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 2: One. 555 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 3: The first is called noc tourism. We're fascinated with space 556 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 3: and the universe and we want to do more around that. 557 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 3: So first of all, we can't. There's no ability to 558 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 3: go anywhere, so that's a complete nutter waste of time. 559 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 3: Two immortality. We are increasingly prioritizing wellness. Fifty nine percent 560 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 3: want to go on a longevity retreat. Forty eight percent 561 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 3: they do a holiday that has the sole purpose of 562 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 3: extending your life. Thirty six percent would travel for cryotherapy. 563 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 3: Once again, complete crap. I understand the extending your life 564 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 3: going to a wellness place, I fully get that, but 565 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 3: cryotherapy is not a holiday destination. Three AI itineries sixty 566 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 3: eight percent of us apparently going to use AI to 567 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 3: help plan the trip. Four multi gen mega trips. So 568 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 3: we're shifting our focus from saving for the future to 569 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 3: creating lasting memories with trips. Your memories are a thing. 570 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 3: Travel Tuesday, so youve got Black Friday, Cyber Monday. Travel 571 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: Tuesday is now increasingly a thing. So people want to 572 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 3: buy experiences. So fifty four percent of baby boom has 573 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 3: already displashed the cash sixty five percent, so they pay 574 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 3: for their kids or grandkids to come along as well. 575 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 3: Boys to zen as number five rise in men only trips. 576 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 3: I mean that's an age old thing, isn't it really 577 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 3: going off with the blokes sex ageless adventures. We don't 578 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 3: like the idea of a quiet retirement. Twenty five percent. 579 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 3: They want to push the boundaries of their comfort zones 580 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: and their older age. Neuro seven neuro inclusive navigation. This 581 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: is taking trips that help neurodivergent travelers not to have 582 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: a negative experience. Whatever eight vintage voyaging fifty say. They 583 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 3: intend to be thrifty or on the trip. That was 584 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 3: the guy from her who died the other day. He was, 585 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 3: you know, the Fromer's guy he died. He said, the 586 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 3: less you spend, the more you enjoy it. I found 587 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 3: that to be completely the opposite. Fifty three percent say 588 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: they're also looking to upgrade and change their wardrobe on 589 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 3: the next trip. See, I thought that was just me, 590 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 3: and I don't say that out loud because that makes 591 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 3: me sound really weird. I go on holiday to buy 592 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 3: new clothes, mainly because I don't shop during the year, 593 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 3: and I think while I'm here on the as well 594 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: buying new clothes. But fifty three percent, so that's actually 595 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 3: the majority of us go shopping on holiday, So not 596 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 3: weird at all. Nine The Great Escape. We want to 597 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 3: explore airports. We want to explore airports with new, unique experience. 598 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 3: Sixty three percent of US want to experience a new airport. 599 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 3: Fifty six percent say now this, but it's true. Fifty 600 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 3: six percent say we feel less stressed before a trip 601 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 3: of the airport's better. That is true, and that's why 602 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 3: Auckland Airport is going to go well this summer. Twenty 603 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 3: four percent say there would take a trip to a 604 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 3: country specifically if their airport is known to be good. 605 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: That's not as wacky as you think, because you will. 606 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 3: A lot of people I know, including myself, avoid La 607 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 3: for that exact reason. I flew to America last year 608 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: to New York via San Francisco for exactly that reason, 609 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 3: to avoid LA.

It's important to have a public counter. 658 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 13: Just because we're here in the city doesn't let people 659 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 13: are going to leave. 660 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 3: Right the stabbing you'll be aware of the other day, 661 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 3: the garden new Market which is sort of in downtown Auckland. 662 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 3: For people listening around the rest of the country. That 663 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 3: reminds us still that there's something desperately wrong with us, 664 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 3: doesn't it. 665 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 13: Oh, look, you know, the reality is crime is always 666 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 13: going to exists in one way or another, and that's 667 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 13: a very tragic instant of course. And have presence here 668 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 13: in the city is important to help deal with those, 669 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 13: particularly across the transport network as the infrastructure here in 670 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 13: Autan city expands. So yeah, our presence everywhere is critical 671 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 13: and will work very very. 672 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 3: Hard to for the safety person appreciate it very much. 673 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 3: Richard Chambers, new police commissioned in nine minutes past seven 674 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 3: pasking other potential tinker with THENCEEA. This time we've got 675 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 3: Level one which is in need of substantial reform. Their words, 676 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 3: not mine. The Education Review Office doesn't think the current 677 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 3: curriculum is a fair or reliable measure of knowledge and skills. 678 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 3: A report was requested by the government back in April. 679 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 3: Those findings arout this morning. The ero's Deputy Chief Executive 680 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 3: rout Shanoda back with us, good morning. Your view generally 681 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 3: of this whole Level one thing, we don't seem to 682 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 3: have got it right. There's a lot of mucking around, 683 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 3: many people don't like it. Where are we at with it? 684 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 16: We only need to have reformat. It's just not yet 685 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 16: a reliable, credible or fair measure of students knowledge. 686 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 3: Is that the problem with the schools who don't use it, 687 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 3: or no matter what you do, some won't use it. 688 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 16: So schools are opting out as you said, next year, 689 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 16: lesson three quarters nationally are going to be using it 690 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 16: in an arm or afflent communities. It's less than half. 691 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 16: What they're saying to us is it's not a reliable 692 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 16: measure of schools and knowledge. Sixty percent of teachers say 693 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 16: that an example that's fairness point is three quarters of 694 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 16: leaders say that the credit students get aren't an equal 695 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 16: amount of work, aren't equally difficult. Schools offer a real 696 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 16: variety of number of credits. Some kids can be offered 697 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 16: sixty just what they need. Some got one hundred and twenty, 698 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 16: so that doesn't give them an equal chance. And then 699 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 16: when it comes to assessment, it's not equally difficult. If 700 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 16: you did an internal assessment something marked in your school, 701 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 16: you're twice as likely to get a good grade like 702 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 16: an excellence. Then if he did something externally so that 703 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 16: other schools are dropping it because of the issue around burnout, 704 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 16: just too much assessment three years in a row. 705 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 3: Okay, so a couple of things there, this business of 706 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 3: getting an excellent smark, you're more likely internally than externally. 707 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 3: Is that NCAA level one or is that the teacher's 708 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 3: not doing the JAR properly. 709 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 16: It's a bit how NCA one's designed. So there's a 710 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 16: lot of different things that can be offered that different 711 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 16: ways of being different standards, And what teachers and leaders 712 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 16: are telling us is they're not equally hard, and that 713 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 16: means it's not equally difficult for students or equally easy 714 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 16: for students, they don't have an equal chance at it. 715 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 16: Teachers are also really concerned about it not setting up 716 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 16: students well for NTA level two, because most students do 717 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 16: continue into school into level two and it's just not 718 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 16: setting them up with the knowledge they need. 719 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 3: Why isn't it top down instructed to do it all 720 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 3: the same all over the country, only a third offer 721 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 3: all four parts of a course. Why why don't you 722 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 3: just sit the rules, do it and then that will 723 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 3: partially won't it solve your problem? 724 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 16: So that's one of the things we're saying we need 725 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 16: to perform. We're saying, Look, first of all, let's have 726 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 16: a look at NA level one, two and three together. 727 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 16: There's the last three years of schooling, so we really 728 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 16: want three years of back to back assessment. We look 729 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 16: at other countries they don't do that. And then if 730 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 16: we do want an assessment here, as you said, let's 731 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 16: have greater consistency of what students are taught. So let's 732 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 16: get that curriculum right first and then assess it, and 733 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 16: then let's reduce this variability so it's equal amounts of work, 734 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 16: equal chances of success. 735 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 3: All right, appreciate it. Ruth Shanoda. The Ro's Deputy Chief 736 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 3: Executive twelve minutes past seven. Sound like you've gone off 737 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 3: on the CGT thing. I've argued this all along that 738 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 3: if they go to the my big thing is well, 739 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 3: all the forecast are are suggesting that growth next year 740 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 3: is a problem, unfortunately, and we'll talk a bit about 741 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 3: that with the Prime Minister, because of course we would 742 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 3: have thought by now we're starting to see the light 743 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 3: at the end of the tunnel. We are, but not 744 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 3: enough anyway, So next year's a bit flat growth wise. 745 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 3: But twenty twenty six election year gamebusters apparently, according to 746 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,280 Speaker 3: the experts, three percent plus. So you've got an economy 747 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 3: that's rolling. People start to feel good about life, and 748 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 3: then along comes labor dumpty doo in election year with 749 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 3: and by the way, can we introduce you to a 750 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 3: new tax at the same time where the current government 751 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 3: I'm assuming will at least be doing no tax cuts, 752 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 3: no tax increases, maybe even tax cuts anyway, Mike Labour 753 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 3: get it. More taxesn't the answer. Can't get good people 754 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 3: to stay here and good people to come. Why make 755 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 3: it even less attractive? Mike the Great Cunners believes that 756 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 3: capital gains tax is a vote winner. That's a decade 757 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 3: of center right government right there, Mike, contrary to Kunnler 758 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 3: for cgteam is grossly unfair to New Zealanders who have worked, 759 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 3: saved and made something of their lives, only to watch 760 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 3: that money taken off them to benefit those who prefer 761 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 3: to live off the state. Kimmie Badenock I noticed earlier 762 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 3: on We played a little piece was out basically saying 763 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 3: the same thing she busies herself trying to rebuild the tories, 764 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 3: that wealth and success is not a bad word. And 765 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 3: there's a lot of New Zealanders, middle New Zealanders who 766 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 3: actually quite like working hard, do reasonably well and would 767 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 3: like to keep a little bit more of their money. 768 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 3: Housing very good news this morning. Confidence on the rise, 769 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 3: that is the good part of the economy. I can 770 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 3: deliberately the asp Data Confidence Survey and net twenty four 771 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 3: percent of respondents expect house prices will rise up from 772 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 3: a net thirteen, so thirteen to twenty four. That's good. 773 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 3: Net twenty percent believe now is a good time to buy, 774 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 3: that's gone from eight to eight twenty. That's good. A 775 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 3: net fifty seven percent expect lower interest rates still to 776 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 3: come I'm not one hundred percent convinced about that, because 777 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 3: I mean, yes, the cash rate's going to go down tomorrow, 778 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 3: but banks and markets have priced a lot of that 779 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 3: in already. That is the highest rate that net fifty 780 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,760 Speaker 3: seven percent. By the way, that's the highest rate recorded 781 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 3: since the survey began in nineteen ninety six. So there's 782 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 3: a lot of expectation there. Fourteen past. 783 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 2: The like asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 784 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 2: by News Talks at. 785 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 3: B Prime Minister with a shortly John Grisham for you 786 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 3: after eight o'clock meantime at seventeen past seven. Further up 787 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 3: the old education chain from the primary schools which we 788 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 3: were just talking about, universities are seeing as spike and 789 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 3: students looking at AI are Masters of Artificial Intelligence degrees 790 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 3: and are being offered at many campuses. At Victoria, numbers 791 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 3: are up fifty percent year on year. The program director 792 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 3: there is Andrew Linson is with us. Andrew, very good 793 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 3: morning to you. 794 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 17: Good morning Mike. 795 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 3: Is this a fad or not? 796 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 17: No, I don't think it's a sad. I think there's 797 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 17: a lot of hype for sure, but there's certainly a 798 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 17: big change going on in our society with AI coming 799 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 17: to the forefront, and I think students are on to 800 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 17: it and want to study it. 801 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 3: And from your point of view, at university, is there 802 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 3: a structured pathway for students to go If I study that, 803 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 3: there's where I'm going to end up in? Oh? 804 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 17: Yeah, definitely. So at Victoria we've got a first undergraduate 805 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 17: degree in AI, and so students do that degree, they 806 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 17: can have all sorts of interesting jobs. I've been a 807 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,240 Speaker 17: data scientist. Where can portray me zero all these big, 808 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 17: big name companies? 809 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 3: Right? And so how do you teach something successfully that's 810 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 3: unfolding at the rate it is? 811 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a really good question, even though it's unfolding 812 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 17: quite quickly. There's a lot of core fundamentals that have 813 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 17: been around for sort of ten twenty thirty years, and 814 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 17: so focus on teaching those first and now sort of 815 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 17: first and second year and then sort of third year, 816 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 17: fourth year. We look more at the advanced stuff more 817 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 17: than the most recent things, and we do be quite 818 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 17: adapt adaptive there for sure. 819 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 3: Do they have to bring anything from high school by 820 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 3: way of learning or can they pick it up from 821 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 3: scratch given it's all so new? 822 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 17: Yes, So redesign a chriptrum to be pretty approachable. So 823 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 17: the first course they do it is no PREI because 824 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 17: it's but having a bit of mass, having a bit 825 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 17: of digital technology is always helpful, of course. 826 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 3: Right do you know what a charted structural engineer is? 827 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 17: By the way, not in detail. I couldn't say that now. 828 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 3: No, No, it's just reading a fascinating article yesterday about 829 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 3: all the jobs we can't fill in this country. And 830 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 3: some of them are for obvious like plumbers and drain layers. 831 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 3: But a charted structural engineer in one hundred and forty 832 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year, I don't even know what that is. 833 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 3: There's clearly a lot of jobs out there like that, 834 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 3: No wonder we don't have any of them. 835 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a bit strange. I mean, the thing of 836 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 17: ai as rollover is that there's lots of new jobs 837 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 17: coming out as well. So even though you're going to 838 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 17: the program now, you might not be as many options, 839 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 17: lots of options, but it will be always a new 840 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 17: jobs by the time people graduate. So maybe it'll be 841 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 17: our engineers as well someday. 842 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 3: Stuff you haven't even thought of. That's all part of it, 843 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 3: isn't it. Andrew appreciated Andrew Linson, Victoria University program directly. Yeah, 844 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 3: it's just that the story made no sense to me 845 00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 3: in the sense that these are the jobs we can't 846 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 3: so applications per job. This is basic stuff like diesel mechanics, electricians, plumbers. 847 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 3: Applications per job are seventeen percent high year on year 848 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 3: for electricians, right, and over three times as high as 849 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 3: pre COVID. So you think they're applying light. There's not tomorrow. 850 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 3: Why can't you fill the job? How can you got 851 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 3: so many people you can't fill the job. Plumbers have 852 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 3: three percent more applications per job year on year, almost 853 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 3: four times as high as pre COVID levels. We do 854 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 3: know that there are some roles that are always particularly 855 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 3: hard to fill. And then they cite the example of 856 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 3: a charted structural engineer, and the question I would ask 857 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 3: you is, how do you become a charted structural engineer? 858 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 3: Do you know you're going to be a charted structural 859 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 3: engineer or do you enter engineering in the broadest of 860 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 3: ways to become a charteds structural engineer in later life? 861 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 3: Financial controllers too, by the way, very hard to get 862 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,240 Speaker 3: hold of a financial control. 863 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 6: I know when I was a kid. Another kids say 864 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 6: I want to be a fireman or a jet pilot 865 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 6: structural I was thinking charted structural engineer for me. 866 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 3: Thanks, and yet you ended up here? 867 00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 15: I know. 868 00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 3: Seven twenty. 869 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 2: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on Aheart radio 870 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 2: powered by newstalksp Now listen. 871 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 3: If you're a business leader, you know how important that 872 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 3: knowledge worker is. A fast rising salary, scarcity of talent, 873 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 3: just talking about jobs and hard to fill. Well, you 874 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 3: know you've got you know the problem. But what if 875 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 3: you could give them an amazing boost of their productivity? 876 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,760 Speaker 3: What if you could you know, take away that routine, 877 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 3: that boring work holding them back. What if you could 878 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 3: earn an unbelievable return on investment while doing so well? Thankfully, 879 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 3: one that's got the answer, So one that's got a 880 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 3: sister company, right Grizzly AI. They've gone and built a 881 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 3: safe and secure path for risker burst businesses to access Generator, 882 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,919 Speaker 3: a low touch software works right out of the box, 883 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 3: great user experience, no integrations, no training, no delays and 884 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 3: getting started. So if you need to make a profit, 885 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 3: you go to one net dot co dot Nz free 886 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 3: seven day trial of Grizzly AI. The White papers how 887 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 3: business can boost knowledge worker productivity with grizzly AI. So 888 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 3: it is one net. It is grizzly AI. They are 889 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 3: your partners in productivity Pasky e. Seven twenty four. Right, 890 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 3: if you're run arguing true democracy, then I suppose there 891 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 3: is nothing stopping somebody submitting a positive report when councils 892 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 3: call for input. But as I look at the numbers, 893 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 3: as I have been around the Wanaka McDonald's stout, it 894 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 3: is no surprise to see those who are against it 895 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 3: outweigh those who are for it three hundred and thirty 896 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 3: nine to twenty one. But then think about it, most 897 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 3: people don't care. Most people will get on with life. 898 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 3: So it's a false economy, really, isn't. I mean, people 899 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 3: who don't like stuff will always complain. 900 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 11: More. 901 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 3: Why Wanaka thinks it's so different or special? I got 902 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 3: no idea. I mean, I love Wonaicer, It's probably my 903 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 3: pick of Central O Tigo towns, but not because it 904 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 3: doesn't have a McDonald's. The district council is having a 905 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 3: look at the application, and for the life of me, 906 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 3: I can't see why it won't go ahead. You don't 907 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 3: have to like fast food to accept the McDonald's is 908 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 3: just another business, and people should want businesses doing business 909 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 3: because they employ people, they put money into the community, 910 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 3: and they pay tax. Places like Wontaker have always suffered 911 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 3: from a sense of snobbery, and it generally comes at 912 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 3: some point post the initial discovery by the outside world, 913 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 3: as long time locals start to resent the incursion. It's 914 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 3: not a brothel, it's not a gang pad, it's not illegal. 915 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 3: It sells hamburgers. One complaint objects to the fact it's 916 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 3: highly visible, small clue, that's actually what business is aimed for. 917 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 3: Another says it would have an adverse effect on the 918 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 3: visual and esthetic values. Very good submission sounds important, says nothing. 919 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 3: Everything's aesthetic if you want to see the esthetic as 920 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 3: esthetic as of value. Otherwise it's just known as the 921 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 3: surrounding area. We can't stop a law abiding business just 922 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 3: because we don't like it, or because we're a bit uppity. 923 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 3: And given that, and given the story isn't actually even new, 924 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 3: This application has been bubbling away for a while. We 925 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 3: covered it earlier on this year, you can question whether 926 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 3: all this process is actually just an exercise and waste. 927 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,919 Speaker 3: Given the outcome I would have thought as a fore 928 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 3: gone conclusion cosking my charted structured engineer similar to a 929 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 3: charted accountant professional accreditation. See, there's not a question the 930 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 3: audience of this program can't answer engineer. There are such 931 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 3: a broad term, Mike, structural, civil, electrical. Each one is 932 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 3: a unique qualification without overlap. Structural engineer basically designed structures. Mike, 933 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 3: me up, but I think I could. 934 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 6: Probably for the reason I wanted to be a charted 935 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 6: one was so I could laud it over the uncharted exactly. 936 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 3: No, not structure charted. I'm charted. Oh you're only structured still, 937 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 3: but charted soon. Maybe go labor, don't hold back on 938 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 3: the CGT guaranteed to be an opposition for a generation. 939 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 3: I think they believe the polls. When they do those 940 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 3: weird polls and you ask people questions, they want to 941 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 3: say the right thing, But deep down people don't want 942 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 3: to give even more of the money they've worked hard 943 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 3: to do, and that's why they've misread it so badly. Mike. 944 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 3: I really hope we get a policy like China use 945 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 3: to have until recently, where there's only one rental allowed 946 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,760 Speaker 3: per person. I'm not sure that coming on this program 947 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,879 Speaker 3: in quoting is rules in China. In fact, I think 948 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 3: that might be the first text I've ever received quoting 949 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 3: or espousing the wonders that is China from China. What 950 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 3: you never know these days, Glenn, you never know, Prime 951 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 3: Minister for you in a couple of moments, hold bunch 952 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 3: of stuff to cover off there for you and John Grisham. 953 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 3: Yes there's a new but he's not dealing with fiction. 954 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 3: He's dealing with real life and it's a fascinating project 955 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 3: that he's been involved with and he's getting some fantastic results. 956 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 3: So we'll give you more details after eight, when John 957 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,720 Speaker 3: Grisham returns to the Mike Hosking Breakfast. 958 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 2: The Breakfast Show You Can Trust, The Mic Hosking Breakfast 959 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 2: with Bailey's Real Estate, your local Experts across residential, commercial 960 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 2: and rural news talks. 961 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 3: He'd been twenty three minutes away from it. John Grishen 962 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 3: back on the program after late this morning meantime being 963 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 3: a Tuesday morning, the Prime Minister is Weberspory. 964 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 11: Good morning to the Union's Morning. 965 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 10: Mike. 966 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 7: Get to be with you. 967 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 3: We've been talking. We had David Cunliff on the program 968 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 3: earlier on and Lay's going to vote this weekend on 969 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 3: whether they move forward with a CGT and then what 970 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 3: sort of shape or form You would be happy to 971 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 3: see an opposition party come to the election in twenty 972 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 3: twenty six espousing more tax, wouldn't you. 973 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 11: Well, look, I mean we've just gone through six years 974 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 11: where we've seen more tax, more spending, more borrowing, and 975 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 11: it didn't work. And we're now dealing with all the 976 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 11: hang ups around inflation and interest rates and recession and 977 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 11: people losing their jobs. So you know, if labor wants 978 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 11: to keep going back to that, well, you know, good 979 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 11: on them. But the reality is, you know, this is 980 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 11: a country where we need to actually we need more 981 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 11: capital in this country, not less, and we also need 982 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 11: to grow our way out of the recession, not actually 983 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 11: tax that way out of the recession. So you know, 984 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,840 Speaker 11: that's why we oppose it. There's a lot more that 985 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,439 Speaker 11: we need to be doing to get this country moving. 986 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 3: Their argument is most people do, which is true. 987 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,759 Speaker 11: Yeah, may well be, but I mean, you know that 988 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,360 Speaker 11: horse has bolted. You know, the decision for New Zealand 989 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,720 Speaker 11: is really around making sure we get this country growing. 990 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 11: And you know, we have seen what happened you know, borrowing. 991 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 11: You know, we're now paying eight to nine to ten 992 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,879 Speaker 11: billion dollars in interest rates because our borrowing went from 993 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 11: five to one hundred billion dollars. You know, a tax 994 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,439 Speaker 11: went up. See, effectively, there's no tax relief for working 995 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 11: New Zealanders for fourteen years, which we've delivered. And you know, 996 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 11: we just know taxing away is not the way to 997 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,800 Speaker 11: deal with it. You've got to grow the pie, not 998 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 11: just move the slices around. 999 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,280 Speaker 3: Okay, So this morning, the story is that some schools 1000 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 3: will not be receiving their maths resources. Why I'm not. 1001 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 11: Aware of that. I know Erica is working really hard 1002 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 11: to make sure everyone's got the maths resources they need. 1003 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 11: That's why, well follow that up to make sure that 1004 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 11: they do. 1005 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 3: But is there any reason why they wouldn't. 1006 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 11: I'm not aware of any issues. I don't know the story, 1007 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 11: to be honest. 1008 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 3: Okay, basically, the union are claiming that a bunch of 1009 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 3: schools aren't going to get the resources. The You've got 1010 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 3: the cart in front of the horse. You've rushed this, 1011 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 3: it's too fast and they're not ready. 1012 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 11: No I disagree. Look, I mean we got a set 1013 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 11: of results that said four out of five of our 1014 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,319 Speaker 11: kids going into high school and not where they need 1015 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 11: to be. I'm sorry. We could sit around having consultation 1016 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 11: and comboy all year, but we actually need to make 1017 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 11: an intervention. We did that within a week. We've put 1018 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 11: forward a new maths curriculum, pulled it forward by a 1019 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 11: year to be ready to go for January next year. 1020 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,319 Speaker 11: Eric is Standards one an exceptionally good job making sure 1021 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 11: that they've got all the digital tools and resources, support books, 1022 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 11: all that stuff that they're gonna need. We're supporting the teachers. 1023 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 11: The Teaching Council came out which I thought was very 1024 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:49,799 Speaker 11: good and said, if you're going to be a teacher 1025 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 11: in New Zealand, you've got to have six four maths. 1026 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 11: Your twelve maths seems like a novel idea, but that 1027 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,400 Speaker 11: because teachers confidence to teach maths properly. So you know, 1028 00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,839 Speaker 11: we have to do this because you know, there's also 1029 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 11: poured out today talking about NCAA right and are how 1030 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 11: busmal it is and whether a parent or an employer 1031 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 11: or a teacher, it's not kind of working well, no 1032 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 11: surprise when kids show up for the third form and 1033 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 11: they're doing you know, four out of five can't aren't 1034 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,359 Speaker 11: at the stand they need to be on mass one 1035 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 11: out of two, an't where they need to be on reading, 1036 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 11: and wonder they lose interest in school and it's pretty 1037 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 11: poor results for NCAA. 1038 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 3: Okay, so just for the record, then if people are 1039 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 3: short of material for next year for the new Maths curriculum, 1040 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 3: that will be addressed. 1041 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean Erica, I know she's put a lot 1042 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 11: of effort into making sure we've got the materials available 1043 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 11: so that teachers can go. I know we're pushing hard, 1044 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 11: but we need to push hard for the sake of 1045 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 11: pearance and most importantly for our kids. 1046 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 3: Okay, are we missing something in the economy because when 1047 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 3: the first cut's coming, tomorrown probably fifty points. When the 1048 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 3: first cut started getting announced, there might have been a 1049 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,839 Speaker 3: little bit of buzz around the place. The worst was over. 1050 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 3: But if you listen to what Dominic Stevens said the 1051 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 3: other day from the Reserve Bank, things aren't firing. What's 1052 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 3: going wrong? 1053 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:53,399 Speaker 7: Well? 1054 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 11: No, I mean, I think you've got people who have 1055 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 11: a bunch of ecloists, we have a bunch of forecasts 1056 00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 11: going forward, and I get all that, but you know 1057 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 11: the reality is, yes, we've still got a lot of 1058 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,919 Speaker 11: turbulence to navigate. But I would just say to you, look, 1059 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 11: you know, we've got inflation back in the band. We've 1060 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 11: got you know what, hopefully we three interest rate cuts 1061 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 11: after twelve interest rate rises. We've got confidence building that 1062 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 11: now needs to translate into growth into jobs. And that's 1063 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 11: really where we move from cost to living, you know, 1064 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,319 Speaker 11: with inflation, interest rates coming down and get sorted more. 1065 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 11: Now it's all about how we grow and how we 1066 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 11: move forward from We've got forecast next year saying we 1067 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 11: could be anywhere from you know, you know, two to 1068 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 11: three percent. 1069 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 3: Who's saying that I haven't. I've said one, I've got one, 1070 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 3: you've got one of it. I've got I've got one 1071 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 3: from from the banks. They say three percent in twenty 1072 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 3: twenty six. 1073 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,359 Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I mean building, But I mean I think 1074 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,800 Speaker 11: every quarter you'll start to see growth start to improve. 1075 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 11: But what I would say is also I also acknowledge 1076 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 11: that it will be bumpy. You know, there is we're 1077 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 11: still not out of the woods as we as you've 1078 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 11: got the you know, essentially the rule of economics is 1079 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 11: if you spend lots, you get inflation, you get interest rates. 1080 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,800 Speaker 11: We get that that put the economy into recession for 1081 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 11: the last three years. We've have to haul it out 1082 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 11: of that now and then the last time that gets 1083 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 11: sorted as employment. And that's got quite a lag effect, 1084 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 11: because if you're a business that's hung in there through 1085 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 11: high cost and high interest rates and suppressed demand, the 1086 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 11: last thing you're doing is laying off workers. And that's 1087 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:05,319 Speaker 11: what we've been seeing. 1088 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 3: Is it possible that we are so shell shocked that 1089 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,760 Speaker 3: the orthodoxy doesn't work? So, in other words, when Adrian 1090 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 3: goes worst is over. Here are some cuts. We don't 1091 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 3: believe it and it's not right Hents. We're not spending hints, 1092 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 3: the mood isn't right, Hents. Things aren't moving the way 1093 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 3: they should. 1094 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:19,800 Speaker 18: No. 1095 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 11: I think, you know, those are immutable laws of economics 1096 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,440 Speaker 11: which we completely are lost that we learned thirty five 1097 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,239 Speaker 11: years ago in this generation of political leadership just thought, 1098 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 11: if I keep spending, if I keep borrowing, if I 1099 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 11: keep taxing, that's what I need to do. And that's 1100 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 11: caused the mess that we're in. We're in this, you know, 1101 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 11: there were lots of opportunities earlier. As I said when 1102 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 11: I first became leader of the National Party there are 1103 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 11: amberlites on that dashboard. Start adjusting now, because when you don't, 1104 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,800 Speaker 11: you've got a lot of pain and suffering coming at you. 1105 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 11: With employment. 1106 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 3: I don't want to go down a rabbit hole. But 1107 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 3: as I look at the numbers, I mean, Q three 1108 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,240 Speaker 3: is almost certainly going to be negative. That's three recessions 1109 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 3: in two years. You can't name me a country that's 1110 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 3: as bad as that. Can you? 1111 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 11: Well, we're coming out. We did it pretty tough, there's no. 1112 00:50:58,040 --> 00:50:59,760 Speaker 3: Doubt about it. We did it tougher than anybody. 1113 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 11: Well, we had monetary policy where we were printing a 1114 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 11: lot of cash, a lot of money. 1115 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 3: But the guy who's delivering it tomorrow is the guy 1116 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 3: who did it. Well, if you got it that wrong 1117 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 3: going in, is it possibly he's got it wrong going out. 1118 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 11: Well, I think he's got a partner with fiscal policy, 1119 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 11: with a government that's actually saying we've got to get 1120 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,879 Speaker 11: these books in order and get some financial discipline into 1121 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 11: the joint. You and I have had tough conversations around 1122 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 11: Dunedin Hospital and other other places. The reason we're being 1123 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 11: disciplined about that stuff is for this very reason. It's 1124 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 11: easy to say you'd like to spend more. I'd like 1125 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 11: to borrow more, I'd like to tax more, but that 1126 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:30,400 Speaker 11: isn't the way forward. 1127 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 3: Peter saw the house last week that December thirteen is 1128 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,360 Speaker 3: the day, if not before that, you're going to announce 1129 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 3: the fairy deal. 1130 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 11: We're going to make sure. Yeah, that'll be a year 1131 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 11: since we've announced that we were stopping Irex, which was 1132 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 11: the old project, and so we're working. 1133 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,240 Speaker 3: Hard on so an announcement's coming by December thirteen. 1134 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 11: He's correct, and we'd get this announcement out by the 1135 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 11: end of the year. 1136 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 3: So given it to the end of November in two 1137 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 3: weeks time, you're not going to close the deal within 1138 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 3: two weeks on something that large. You've clearly done the 1139 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 3: deal already. Correct. Well, we'll have more. 1140 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:56,799 Speaker 11: To say about that, Mike. 1141 00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 3: So I know I know you're say no answer. I'm 1142 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 3: all I'm saying is you've clearly can't make a commitment. 1143 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 3: We're talking about the theories before the end of the 1144 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 3: d the deal. The deal is clearly in place. Is 1145 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 3: that fear to say that because you can't close a 1146 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 3: deal between now and December thirteen, it's clearly in place. 1147 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 11: Well, all I'd say is that we are going to 1148 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 11: get a solution in place. It's important we get a 1149 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 11: good one in place, and. 1150 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 15: We'll do that. 1151 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 3: Have you got it in place, we'll have more to 1152 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 3: say about it, very surely. No, just just humorous all 1153 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 3: to the extent. I don't want to know the detail. 1154 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 3: I just want to know, is there a deal? Has 1155 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,319 Speaker 3: it been done? And you will announce it by the thing, 1156 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,839 Speaker 3: we will announce it for the end of the year. 1157 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,319 Speaker 3: And there's always ongoing conversation. So is it still live? 1158 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 11: I just say to you it's coming, Mike. That's I 1159 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 11: just tell you it'll be fine. You'll you'll know when 1160 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 11: you know. 1161 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 3: Has it got some rails involved? You'll know. Can you 1162 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 3: get a train on and off? 1163 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 11: You definitely can. You can't get a train, you can 1164 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,879 Speaker 11: get it, well, you can get you can get it's rail. 1165 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,840 Speaker 11: It'll be rail compatible. Put it that way, not rail enable, 1166 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,959 Speaker 11: it'll be rail compatible. But as it is today, yeah, okay, very. 1167 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 3: Well, well, it require a lot of infrastructure. 1168 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 11: I can tell you it's going to be done a 1169 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 11: lot cheaper than three point two billion dollars. 1170 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 3: Is it three or four hundred million dollars? 1171 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 11: Again, Mike, we'll have to wait and say will in. 1172 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 3: The December of the thirteenth. He's a good question. Well, 1173 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 3: I've got a text already saying, hey, Mike, how about 1174 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 3: it being a bit nicer to the Prime Minister. So 1175 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 3: that's gone out the door. How about being nicer to 1176 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,760 Speaker 3: the providence? How about being nice at the Prime Minister? 1177 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 3: So by December thirteen will we know the exit cost 1178 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 3: of cancelation. 1179 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,239 Speaker 11: We will have a full announcement, as we've committed to 1180 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 11: by the end of the year, but. 1181 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,720 Speaker 3: It will be here's here's what we're doing going forward, 1182 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 3: plus here's what it costs. 1183 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 11: You have to just wait and see. Mike, I'm so sorry, 1184 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 11: Okay Wednesday, is. 1185 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,359 Speaker 3: There a stabuished building between you and David T. Moorrow? 1186 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 3: But Wykatto and the medical school. 1187 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 11: No, look, I mean we've got you know, we're in 1188 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 11: this stage of wanting a detailed business case for that. 1189 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 11: It's important it gets a really good commercial appraisal and 1190 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 11: run over. But all respect David seam was not the 1191 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 11: Minister of Health. He's the Minister of Regulation. He needs 1192 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 11: to focus on that. Shane Ready's the Minister of Health. 1193 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,839 Speaker 3: And here you hung up on why Katta or could 1194 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,280 Speaker 3: you expand by Otiger. 1195 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,120 Speaker 11: Well, we've always said we're subject to a commercial appraisal 1196 00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 11: and we've done an initial business case. We want a 1197 00:53:59,120 --> 00:53:59,960 Speaker 11: detailed business case. 1198 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 3: You're happy with the initial business case because that was 1199 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 3: Seymour's problem. He said the cost per student's too high. 1200 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, well look, I mean again, no disrespect. I mean 1201 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 11: David's the Minister of Regulation. He ain't the Minister of Health. 1202 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,320 Speaker 11: And so Shane Ready is leading us through that process. 1203 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 11: We're making sure there's good commercial appraise over it. We understand, 1204 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 11: you know, it's a big investment and like everything, we 1205 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 11: want to make sure we've got more rigorous, robust business cases. 1206 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 11: And that's been part of the problem and what we've 1207 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 11: seen and what we've inherited. So we'll work our way 1208 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 11: through that and we'll come to a conclusion once we 1209 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 11: see those numbers and. 1210 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,280 Speaker 3: Talk to me about August. Has anything happened on August 1211 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,319 Speaker 3: since what we've been involved for about three or four 1212 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 3: years now. You keep saying, oh, we're looking at it, 1213 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 3: how long you're looking at it? 1214 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 11: I have to say it's going slowly, and that's because 1215 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 11: you've got you know, you've had change of leadership in 1216 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 11: the UCUST countries themselves, I suspect, but our officials are 1217 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 11: still continuing to talk. 1218 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 3: So is it live still in the way it has 1219 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 3: been live or has Trump changed everything? 1220 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 11: No, No, that that hasn't been the change. What it 1221 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 11: has been is just acknowledging that you've probably you know 1222 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 11: with Ko Starmer and it's in the Albaniz. You have 1223 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 11: a change of leadership at the UK of the Australian end. 1224 00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 11: But more importantly you know that it's been slive and 1225 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 11: it always going to be, you know, and there's no 1226 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 11: real change from with. 1227 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,160 Speaker 3: A view to what we'll know more when this year 1228 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:06,239 Speaker 3: next week, the year. 1229 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 11: After we're started moving at the pace that August countries 1230 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 11: want to be able to work with and they've got 1231 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 11: obviously well the last those Canada. 1232 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 3: Wanted something tangible done by the time he left office, 1233 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 3: which is January. 1234 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, well that's not happening. And so you know you've 1235 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 11: got claims in there from also Canada and also I 1236 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,360 Speaker 11: think from Japan and New Zealand, and so you know, 1237 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 11: we're working it through with those officials, but no real 1238 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:31,200 Speaker 11: change from what. 1239 00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 3: Okay, super quick the cop thing with this carbon trading 1240 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 3: that that Simon was involved with there in some big 1241 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 3: international market. Given we're so useless at trading carbon here 1242 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 3: and our auctions don't work, is this international model going 1243 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 3: to be any different? 1244 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1245 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,319 Speaker 11: Look, I think he's actually done a really good job. 1246 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 11: He's worked with the Singaporeans have actually done you know, 1247 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 11: we tend to do as interesting. You say that because 1248 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 11: I was meaning with the Singaporean Prime Minister and Apeck again. 1249 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,879 Speaker 11: I've promium it them four or five times this year. 1250 00:55:58,320 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 11: And actually there's a lot that New Zealand is Singer 1251 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,319 Speaker 11: Paul want to do together more and often we are 1252 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 11: the guys that started CPTPP. For example, we've done a 1253 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 11: whole bunch of stuff and free trade and as small countries, 1254 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 11: I think we can model this out, but there is 1255 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 11: actually a need for us to get carbon markets working better. 1256 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,360 Speaker 11: Simon Watts is doing a great job. It's probably the 1257 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 11: one thing of cop that I can see that sort 1258 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,719 Speaker 11: of came through pretty cleanly and articulately. And he's got 1259 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,040 Speaker 11: a finance background and increasingly climate change is an economic portfolio, 1260 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 11: not just an environmental thing, and so he's all over 1261 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 11: that and I think he'll do very well. 1262 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 3: All right, good to see Christoper Luxan twelve away from. 1263 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 2: Eight The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1264 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 2: powered by the News Talks. 1265 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 15: It be. 1266 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 3: Morning Mike and your analysis of New Zealand doing it 1267 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,320 Speaker 3: typer economically than elsewhere in the world. You need to 1268 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,400 Speaker 3: remember the size of our recessions has been much smaller comparably, 1269 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 3: I'd see it minus one point. 1270 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:51,799 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1271 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 3: I get that it's been a pretty soft landing. I 1272 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,640 Speaker 3: don't accept that for a minute. Ninety nine percent of 1273 00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 3: other countries have much larger recessions. I don't agree. So 1274 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 3: I look at a place like Australia, for example, has 1275 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 3: had no recession at all. Americas had no recession at all. 1276 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 3: If you look at the countries that have dipped in 1277 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 3: are you look at a place like say Germany, you 1278 00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 3: look at a place like Japan, you look at a 1279 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 3: place like the UK. They've gone zero point one zero 1280 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 3: point two at worst, and they certainly haven't had three 1281 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 3: recessions in two years. Furthermore, and this is why I 1282 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,720 Speaker 3: raised it with the Prime Minister. The feeling is that 1283 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 3: Q four, which is what we're in right now, may 1284 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 3: well be backwards as well. So that is of eight 1285 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,440 Speaker 3: quarters in the last two years, seven of them are 1286 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 3: backwards and that to my mind and no one's correct 1287 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 3: to me yet, that to my mind is unheard of 1288 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,280 Speaker 3: anywhere in the world. And then we get boy, you 1289 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 3: went off on McDonald's. My god, you're right. Most of 1290 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 3: us welcome McDonald's. It's jobs for people in the district. 1291 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 3: As for the esthetic, I hardly think a spot on 1292 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 3: a roundabout under a hill with no lake views at 1293 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 3: all between two state highways is the place with the 1294 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 3: highest aesthetic appeal. Esthetic appeal andicam more on that in 1295 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 3: just a moment date away from. 1296 00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 1: Eight the make Hosking Breakfast with the range rovere A Villa. 1297 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 3: Mike grew the PM that was some shopping list. Can 1298 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 3: you imagine anyone in the opposition covering off those questions? 1299 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 3: It's not a fair plant, not an unfair point, Terry Mike. 1300 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 3: The problem with McDonald's isn't this a tremendous number of 1301 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 3: texts around this, and you're completely missing the point. The 1302 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 3: problem with McDonald's isn't necessarily the restaurant itself, but the 1303 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 3: people who frequent it. You can't stop a restaurant or 1304 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 3: a business opening because you've decided that somehow the people 1305 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 3: aren't up to scratch. It is a ridiculous thing. 1306 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 6: People are going to come from where I don't know, 1307 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,240 Speaker 6: to go to that McDonald's that aren't already there. 1308 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 3: And it's all the people who drop the rubbish. So 1309 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,520 Speaker 3: every business in some way, shape or form is involved 1310 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,560 Speaker 3: in rubbish. Mike Mark here and Wonaica. We can't wait 1311 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 3: for McDonald's to land Wanker's so that's good. So I've 1312 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 3: had two texts positive Mike. It's the rubbish that people 1313 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 3: throw around the countryside. It's not McDonald's, Mike, it's the 1314 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 3: customers that There is no way in the world a 1315 00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 3: council can prevent a business opening because the customers aren't 1316 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,280 Speaker 3: good looking enough, or the customers a low rent, or 1317 00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 3: the customers toss the wrapper out of a window. It 1318 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 3: is not the business's responsibility of what you do with 1319 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 3: the box when you buy a product, whether it's a 1320 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 3: television or a car, or a car part or a hamburger. 1321 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 3: And if every business wasn't allowed to open because everyone 1322 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 3: was going, well, it's sort of next to a mountain 1323 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 3: and that won't look any good. And also when they 1324 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 3: buy whatever it is they buy, they'll tip it, not 1325 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,240 Speaker 3: use a rubbish bin. I mean, if that's what it's 1326 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 3: come down to. Literally, as I tried to seduce earlier on, 1327 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,919 Speaker 3: the council is wasting their time. 1328 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 6: They've probably got rubbish bins down there. 1329 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 3: It's not Auckland. I wonder if they've thought of that. 1330 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,360 Speaker 3: John Grisham is next. 1331 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 1: They use bold opinions.

And he worked by himself for 1352 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 18: many years, and now he has a nice organization, Centurion Ministries. 1353 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:03,720 Speaker 18: They have exonerated seventy two people, two women, I think 1354 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 18: the rest men who were wrongfully convicted and stashed away 1355 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,360 Speaker 18: in prisons for as long as thirty years thirty seven years, 1356 01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 18: and Jim got him out. He got him out through 1357 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,760 Speaker 18: by accommodation of hard work, investigative prowess, and leaning on 1358 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 18: people to give him money and lawyers to work for free. 1359 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 18: And he's an amazing person. 1360 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 3: How did you hook up with him? 1361 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 18: I wrote a book called Innocent Man that came out 1362 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 18: in two thousand and six. My first work of nonfiction 1363 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,040 Speaker 18: is about a wrongfully convicted man, and Jim and I 1364 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 18: met over that book and became very close friends for 1365 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 18: the past fifteen years. 1366 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 19: And I'm on his board now. We've talked about doing 1367 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 19: this book for a. 1368 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 18: Number of years because these stories are so they're so terrible, 1369 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 18: but they're also very compelling and really gripping stories. 1370 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 3: Is it cathotic work. 1371 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 18: I don't know about that. I think I approached it 1372 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 18: from a point of view. First of all, it's good storytelling. 1373 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 18: I always look for a good story. It's also trying 1374 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 18: to make a change, trying to raise awareness, trying to 1375 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 18: get people and lawmakers to look at the problem. We 1376 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,760 Speaker 18: have so many huge problems in America and our criminal 1377 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 18: justice system, and it's not a. 1378 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 19: Top ten issue anywhere. It's just criminal. 1379 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,200 Speaker 18: You know, there are criminals, So trying to raise awareness, 1380 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 18: trying to raise a few bucks for the innocence of 1381 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 18: advocates in the country. So yeah, it's just you know, 1382 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:26,520 Speaker 18: there's a purpose behind it. 1383 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,000 Speaker 3: Does it get any better? I mean, we've had similar troubles, 1384 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 3: nothing like America obviously, but similar troubles. But it was 1385 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 3: a time and place like it was in the eighties, 1386 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 3: and things have got better. Has that happened in America 1387 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 3: or not? 1388 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 5: Yes? 1389 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 18: And no crime is down, violent crime is down. There 1390 01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 18: are fewer executions this year than last year. The trend 1391 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,880 Speaker 18: is really down. There are fewer death penalty verdicts in America. 1392 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 18: The death penalty is dying a slow death in America, 1393 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:02,600 Speaker 18: which is good from now using DNA to solve crimes. 1394 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 18: So we're making slow progress, you know, we're trying to 1395 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,440 Speaker 18: pass laws and make wrongful convictions harder and harder to 1396 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,919 Speaker 18: come by. So yeah, that's say, we're making a little 1397 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 18: small progress, a little progress. 1398 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,600 Speaker 3: Is it hard if you set out and you started 1399 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 3: today to find an innocent person in jail that faces 1400 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,479 Speaker 3: the death penalty? Is it hard to find a case? 1401 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,080 Speaker 19: Not at all, Not at all, note at all. 1402 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,440 Speaker 18: There have been one hundred and sixty people in America 1403 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,960 Speaker 18: in the last thirty years sent to death row who 1404 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 18: were later exonerated. That's why the death penalty has got 1405 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 18: to go. It's so unfair and it's not it's not correct. 1406 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,120 Speaker 18: It's not applied smartly or evenly. 1407 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 19: So yeah, you can, you can. 1408 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:49,560 Speaker 18: There There are about fifty different innocence projects around the country, 1409 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,800 Speaker 18: all sort of related but all independent. You can volunteer 1410 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 18: at an innocence project anywhere in this country. There are 1411 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 18: three here in Virginia and sign up as a volunteer. 1412 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,600 Speaker 18: They've got a list their cases, and they got a 1413 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,920 Speaker 18: list of their clients in prison. You can find innocent 1414 01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,000 Speaker 18: people real fast. In prison are those who claim to 1415 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 18: be innocent. Do your own investigation, look at the facts, 1416 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 18: and there they're easy to find. 1417 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 3: Does it not work where you get an innocent person, 1418 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,959 Speaker 3: they're exonerated and the system goes, this must not happen again, 1419 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 3: and therefore something improves. 1420 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 18: Well, that's happened so many times in the last thirty years. 1421 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,960 Speaker 18: These horrible exonerations are these horrible, wrawful convictions. And you 1422 01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 18: see a guy walk out after thirty years and somebody, 1423 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,640 Speaker 18: the real killer was never found because the cops botched 1424 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 18: this case. 1425 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,400 Speaker 19: Are bad and we wring our hands and say, how 1426 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:40,919 Speaker 19: can this happen? 1427 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 18: How could this happen? Well, one purpose of the book 1428 01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,920 Speaker 18: is to show you how it happens. But you know, 1429 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 18: we we never say, oh, it can never happen again, 1430 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 18: because we know it's going to happen again. 1431 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:52,360 Speaker 19: There are just too many in denocent people in prison. 1432 01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 3: Is it botched through incompetence or is it botched through 1433 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:56,960 Speaker 3: things like racism? 1434 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 19: That both of those are huge factors. 1435 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:08,240 Speaker 18: The ten stories we feature Inframed deal with willful misconduct, 1436 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,960 Speaker 18: bad conduct by the police, the prosecutors, and the experts. 1437 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 18: It was just almost intentional what they did, how they 1438 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 18: ignored real evidence. 1439 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:17,400 Speaker 19: You can't believe these cases. 1440 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:19,640 Speaker 18: When Jim and I were writing a book, we'd finish 1441 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 18: the story and send it off to New York and 1442 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 18: our editor would call every time and say, this cannot 1443 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 18: be true. These cases can't be true. I guarantee you 1444 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 18: they're all true. But it's Racism is a huge factor 1445 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 18: in confidence is a huge factor, and old fashioned, downright 1446 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 18: what we say meanness, willful misconduct, is any. 1447 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 3: Some of the people in law enforcement in America are 1448 01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 3: elected to office. Is that part of the problem or 1449 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,919 Speaker 3: not huge part, huge part. 1450 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,720 Speaker 18: We elect our prosecutors, most of them, We elect most 1451 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:55,440 Speaker 18: of our judges, most of them, and politics gets involved 1452 01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:00,959 Speaker 18: in the campaigns. Everything is so politicized over here. It's 1453 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:05,200 Speaker 18: bound to be. It's bound to infect races for prosecutors 1454 01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,920 Speaker 18: and judges that we should not elect any judge anywhere 1455 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 18: in America, or any prosecutor. 1456 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,680 Speaker 3: All right, listen, hold on.

We would love for it 1470 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 18: to inspire others to get involved with innocence work. We'd 1471 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 18: love to raise a few bucks because innocence projects around 1472 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:58,440 Speaker 18: the country operate on shoe strings. 1473 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 19: And it's it's a proven it's an easy fact. 1474 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 1: We all know it. 1475 01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 18: The more money you have for innocence work, the more 1476 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 18: innocent people you can get out to hire experts and 1477 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 18: testing and lawyers and all that. So they're all desperate 1478 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,360 Speaker 18: for cash. Every instance project in America is strapped for cash, 1479 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 18: and we're trying to raise a few bucks. 1480 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,040 Speaker 3: Is it also true to say that if you are 1481 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,440 Speaker 3: arrested and you do have money, you can afford better 1482 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 3: legal representation, and maybe if you are innocent, you don't 1483 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 3: end up on death row. 1484 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 19: I have never met a wealthy person on death row. 1485 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:30,800 Speaker 19: They're not there. 1486 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,000 Speaker 3: Okay, they're not there, So you can get if you 1487 01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:36,600 Speaker 3: get a good lawyer. The case I was reading the 1488 01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 3: day a guy called Roubison, Robert Robinson. He was due 1489 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 3: for execution. You were involved in this case. He was 1490 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,160 Speaker 3: due for execution seventeen October. Was he executed. 1491 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 18: No, he got a miracle to stay at the last moment, 1492 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 18: but ninety minutes to go. This is Texas, Okay, so 1493 01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 18: the deck is stacked against him. We're still in court 1494 01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,360 Speaker 18: his law. He has a huge legal team because he's 1495 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 18: innocent and we have experts to prove it. We're trying 1496 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 18: to get the Texas course to take another look, and 1497 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 18: they don't want to, so we're fighting. He is about 1498 01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 18: to probably get another execution date, which will be setting 1499 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,080 Speaker 18: ninety days down the road. So we're about to go 1500 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 18: through the whole process again. We had a miracle last time. 1501 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,040 Speaker 18: We'll try it again. Missouri had a guy a few 1502 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 18: years ago who had his last meal three times. Okay, 1503 01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 18: he was given his last meal talk about cruel, cruel. 1504 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,080 Speaker 18: Poor guy's about to die, it's. 1505 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:28,639 Speaker 19: His last meal. 1506 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 18: Three times, last minute's day goes back to his cell. 1507 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 18: That happens all the time over here. It's a crazy system. 1508 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,760 Speaker 3: How do you not become I mean, I'm sure you are, 1509 01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,960 Speaker 3: but how do you not become sort of consumed with 1510 01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,400 Speaker 3: emotion once you evolve yourself with these cases. 1511 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:50,719 Speaker 18: I'm not emotional, so I don't get emotional over things 1512 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 18: I can't control. I've never witnessed an execution. I'm sure 1513 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,559 Speaker 18: that would have a huge impact on me. I've talked 1514 01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,600 Speaker 18: to lawyers who have, and they all say, don't do it, Just. 1515 01:08:59,600 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 3: Don't do it. 1516 01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,799 Speaker 18: If you could avoid it, that would be very emotional. 1517 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,000 Speaker 18: I get emotional when they walk out of PRISM. When 1518 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,080 Speaker 18: these guys walk out after twenty five years and their 1519 01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:12,639 Speaker 18: mothers are waiting on them, and their mothers never lost hope, 1520 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 18: that mothers always knew they were innocent, and they and 1521 01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,840 Speaker 18: we finally proved that. Somebody proves it on me, some 1522 01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,519 Speaker 18: in this instance, groups, some lawyer proves it. They get 1523 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,320 Speaker 18: the DNA testing, they walk out of PRISM and there's 1524 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,839 Speaker 18: not a dry eye anywhere. Once a year at Centurion ministries. 1525 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 18: Jim mccloskey's group in Princeton, he has a family weekend. 1526 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,360 Speaker 18: All of his exoneries come back and they bring their 1527 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,640 Speaker 18: wives and kids and what their grandkids, and it's a 1528 01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,759 Speaker 18: huge it's a huge weekend. I've been there several times, 1529 01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 18: and there are times there's not a dry eye anywhere. 1530 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 18: You just you know, you're all wrapped up in these 1531 01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,400 Speaker 18: guys who have suffered so much and now they're free. 1532 01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,280 Speaker 19: So it's a there's a lot of emotion at certain times. 1533 01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:51,560 Speaker 3: Fantastic. Well, I hope the book goes well, and I 1534 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,679 Speaker 3: hope it draws a lot of attention to the issue. 1535 01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,040 Speaker 3: While we've got you, I cannot go past what's happened 1536 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,120 Speaker 3: in the last couple of weeks, and you'll find country. 1537 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:03,640 Speaker 3: What do you ma in Cabitoal, I. 1538 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 18: Don't know where to start. I mean, it's we're all traumatized. 1539 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 18: We uh, we we're just kind of sleep walking through 1540 01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 18: the aftermath of a nightmare. And you know, my friends 1541 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,679 Speaker 18: and I we were we're sort of tired of talking 1542 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,200 Speaker 18: about all the things that went wrong, and now we're 1543 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:25,040 Speaker 18: braced for another chaotic day in the world of American government, 1544 01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 18: and it hadn't even really started yet. To have to 1545 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,600 Speaker 18: have for one man to have this much power with 1546 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,720 Speaker 18: the Congress and the courts, and to have such a 1547 01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 18: lack of common sense, it's going to be a disaster. 1548 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:42,519 Speaker 18: Uh So we're kind of bracing ourselves for like four 1549 01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:43,800 Speaker 18: years we've never seen before. 1550 01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:44,600 Speaker 19: I feel sorry for. 1551 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,559 Speaker 18: The rest of the world because you know, the rest 1552 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,439 Speaker 18: of the world kind of depends on us to be 1553 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,400 Speaker 18: the democratic uh not savior but monitor of the world, 1554 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:54,320 Speaker 18: the heartbeat of the world. 1555 01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 19: And we know our democracy is really really in danger 1556 01:10:58,320 --> 01:10:58,599 Speaker 19: right now. 1557 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,760 Speaker 3: So you would argue sixteen through twenty versus twenty four 1558 01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,600 Speaker 3: through twenty eight. Twenty four through twenty eight, it's going 1559 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 3: to be worse than sixteen through twenty. 1560 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 18: Much worse because back then, at sixteen through twenty, he 1561 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 18: was facing reelection, so he had to at least think 1562 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,639 Speaker 18: about what he was doing and how it might affect 1563 01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 18: his chances to get reelected. 1564 01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 19: Now he's not, He doesn't have that burden anymore. He 1565 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:23,720 Speaker 19: is free to do whatever he wants, and he wants 1566 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:24,479 Speaker 19: to be a dictator. 1567 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,719 Speaker 18: He said that he wants to be a fascist dictator, 1568 01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:31,040 Speaker 18: that he admires those people and he will try We 1569 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,080 Speaker 18: have no idea of this stuff. 1570 01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:32,720 Speaker 19: He's gonna try. 1571 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,360 Speaker 18: He will try in many ways to get filthy rich, 1572 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,360 Speaker 18: and he probably will. He'll punish his enemies, He'll purge 1573 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,360 Speaker 18: the government.

But Seymour's point as Minister 1631 01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,080 Speaker 3: of Regulation is that if it's going to cost a 1632 01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,000 Speaker 3: million dollars a student surely there are better ways to 1633 01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 3: go about doing it, and you don't have to eat 1634 01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,320 Speaker 3: the cost of all the hardware that comes with it. 1635 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 3: So anyway that stashes yet to unfold them just waving 1636 01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,000 Speaker 3: the flag. So when it becomes news, you can go 1637 01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,320 Speaker 3: hang on wherever heard that before? And the answer is 1638 01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 3: on the mic asking breakfast weather bad bad weather. Rod's 1639 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:39,800 Speaker 3: in the middle of it. He's with us directly after 1640 01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:41,720 Speaker 3: the news, which is next. 1641 01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:48,360 Speaker 2: Your trusted source for news and fuse the mic hosking 1642 01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:52,599 Speaker 2: breakfast with the range Rover vi La designed to intrigue, 1643 01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:53,599 Speaker 2: can use togs. 1644 01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,640 Speaker 3: Dead be half past nine Monday night in Israel. The 1645 01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:59,719 Speaker 3: only reason I mentioned that is tomorrow, which is Tuesday. 1646 01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,240 Speaker 3: There time the cabinet is going to be voting on 1647 01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:07,000 Speaker 3: a cease fire deal with Lebanon Netnya, who signaled his approval. 1648 01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,800 Speaker 3: It's with Hezbollah, obviously because it's Lebanon. They've got reservations 1649 01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:17,200 Speaker 3: apparently Israel, don't they always. They're still working through those bits. 1650 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,600 Speaker 3: There will be no vote and no deal unless they 1651 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,559 Speaker 3: can get those last minute things sorted. But if they 1652 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,400 Speaker 3: can get those last minute things sorted, the feeling is 1653 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,680 Speaker 3: certainly they're going to have a crack and it may 1654 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:30,640 Speaker 3: well come to past tomorrow. So this time tomorrow it 1655 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,719 Speaker 3: might well be something we're talking about. Twenty three minutes 1656 01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 3: away from. 1657 01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:37,439 Speaker 14: Nine International correspondence with ends in eye Insurance, peace of 1658 01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,719 Speaker 14: mind for New Zealand business in Britain, the Great. 1659 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 7: Roderick little morning to you, Good morning, may how you 1660 01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:43,320 Speaker 7: doing so? 1661 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,439 Speaker 3: I was just mentioning Israel, as you probably heard that thing, 1662 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:50,720 Speaker 3: the inference over the weekend from the UK out of 1663 01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:54,160 Speaker 3: the ICC decision that if Netna whoever lands at Heathrow, 1664 01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 3: they might nab them, and of course the Americans went 1665 01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,599 Speaker 3: nuts at all of that. Was that evelvertally articulated by 1666 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,680 Speaker 3: the government or was that just an inference that I 1667 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 3: picked up somewhere along the way. 1668 01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,280 Speaker 7: In my reading, it was an inference. What the government 1669 01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,560 Speaker 7: has said is nothing. They've said. We totally support the 1670 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:15,639 Speaker 7: ICC and all of its jurisdictions, but of course usually 1671 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:17,640 Speaker 7: they have nothing to do with anybody who would come 1672 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:21,080 Speaker 7: to Britain. We just hope for peace in Gaza. That 1673 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:25,559 Speaker 7: was the quote from the flailing hapless Uvette Cooper, our 1674 01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,080 Speaker 7: Home Secretary. I think what their position on it is 1675 01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:34,280 Speaker 7: now is and I think they'll be a bit more explicit, 1676 01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,240 Speaker 7: probably at some point, because it's hard not to be. 1677 01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:44,519 Speaker 7: Is that, yeah, we support the ICC ruling and then 1678 01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,800 Speaker 7: pray to hell that BB doesn't want to come and 1679 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 7: do some Christmas shopping in Nightsbridge. 1680 01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,559 Speaker 3: Rachel reeves. I'll get onto an amendment before just give 1681 01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:57,679 Speaker 3: us the meteorological update. How have we all handled Bert? 1682 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:05,080 Speaker 7: Kind of badly? I think, and I see why. It 1683 01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 7: is every time any weather front of any description, homes interview, 1684 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 7: the Meteorological Office say we're all going to die, and 1685 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 7: they say it's going to be appalling. There's going to 1686 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 7: be weather warnings. You're either going to burn to death 1687 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:24,560 Speaker 7: or drown or freeze to death. And as a consequence, 1688 01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:28,080 Speaker 7: it's like the Boy who Cried Wolf. There was no 1689 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:33,760 Speaker 7: special attention given to storm bird because basically it was 1690 01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,400 Speaker 7: more of the same old, same old from the Weather Office, 1691 01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,639 Speaker 7: and so all these places, particularly in the southwest of England, 1692 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:44,280 Speaker 7: but also London and the Midlands as suddenly, oh my god, 1693 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:48,439 Speaker 7: this actually is quite bad. We are always, i mean, 1694 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,160 Speaker 7: the met Office ought to remember this as a country, 1695 01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,040 Speaker 7: it is always flooding, which is a problem. We're a 1696 01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:57,160 Speaker 7: crowded country. We've built on flood plains. We've got a 1697 01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:00,599 Speaker 7: lot of rivers. That is always a big and that's 1698 01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:05,240 Speaker 7: where the Met Office should direct its warnings in future. 1699 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:06,680 Speaker 7: But they won't learn from that. 1700 01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 3: Right rightel rapes, text increases inherent and tax farmers protests 1701 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:16,439 Speaker 3: and brilliant business generally. How much trouble is she in 1702 01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,600 Speaker 3: politically when she turns up to a thing like the 1703 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,160 Speaker 3: Confederation of British Industry. 1704 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 7: She's in quite a lot of trouble, certainly for a 1705 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:27,400 Speaker 7: chancellor in her first four months of office, you know, 1706 01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 7: with a new government just coming in, she is in 1707 01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:34,920 Speaker 7: real trouble. She's partly in trouble because she died on 1708 01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,479 Speaker 7: her CV about all the things she hadn't done and 1709 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 7: so on, which has given rise to a whole bunch 1710 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 7: of very funny Internet means about her claiming that she 1711 01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 7: won the gold medal for rowing the Tokyo Olympics and 1712 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:52,479 Speaker 7: so on. But she's also in trouble for the budget 1713 01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,560 Speaker 7: and has been forced now to say there will be 1714 01:18:55,720 --> 01:19:01,519 Speaker 7: no more borrowing and no more taxes. Are tax rises, 1715 01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,080 Speaker 7: That's what she said to the Confederation of British Industry, 1716 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:09,840 Speaker 7: which of course gabra roasting, so her hands are being tied. 1717 01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:16,480 Speaker 7: She understands. I think that the budget was massively unpopular, 1718 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,960 Speaker 7: and I think she's now in a fairly vulnerable position. 1719 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:25,640 Speaker 3: Is do people get it to I've been, as you know, 1720 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 3: fascinated by it because a lot of what they did 1721 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,040 Speaker 3: in that, like cutting the winter heating payment. See we 1722 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:32,960 Speaker 3: have a winter heating payment here, right, but we claim 1723 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,840 Speaker 3: we can't sort of manipulate it in any way, shape 1724 01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,200 Speaker 3: or form for people who actually need it as opposed 1725 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 3: to multimillionaire retirees. We just hand it out and it's 1726 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,599 Speaker 3: too complicated. So you guys, as a labor government are 1727 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 3: doing stuff that we, as a conservative government haven't done. 1728 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,680 Speaker 3: Do people understand that things are dire and they do 1729 01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:53,720 Speaker 3: need to do stuff and that's just the price you 1730 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,759 Speaker 3: pay when you don't balance the books. 1731 01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,760 Speaker 7: Yes, I think people do get it a little bit. 1732 01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 7: I think there's a number of those things. I mean, 1733 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 7: I think this hasn't been a successful four months for 1734 01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:08,760 Speaker 7: labor by any stretch of the imagination. But you know, 1735 01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 7: as I've said to you before, identity the farmer's protest, 1736 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:16,800 Speaker 7: for example, resonates with the public one little bit. And 1737 01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:20,479 Speaker 7: I also think this is a certain understanding and I 1738 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 7: think there's an anger amongst pensioners about the fact that 1739 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:29,120 Speaker 7: their money was withdrawn for the winter fuel allowance and 1740 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,680 Speaker 7: yet the doctors and the train drivers could be bun 1741 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:35,920 Speaker 7: a whole bunch of cash. There is that annoyance, but 1742 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:39,720 Speaker 7: I think the rest the public's rather more understanding than 1743 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:40,559 Speaker 7: most people think. 1744 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,320 Speaker 3: Although having said that, this petition is interesting because it's 1745 01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:45,519 Speaker 3: not short of signatures, is it. 1746 01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 7: Well, isn't it. I don't know. You know, twenty years 1747 01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,519 Speaker 7: ago when you had a petition one hundred thousand names on, 1748 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 7: it was a big deal. Ten years ago maybe two 1749 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:01,320 Speaker 7: hundred thousand names was a big deal. Now it's a million. 1750 01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:04,840 Speaker 7: Because everyone's on the internet and science petitions when they 1751 01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:09,400 Speaker 7: don't like something. I find it repellent, if I'm absolutely honest. 1752 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,760 Speaker 7: You know, I remember the petitions which were got up 1753 01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,840 Speaker 7: to reverse a Brexit vote, and I thought that was 1754 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,680 Speaker 7: a huge betrayal of democracy, and I think this is 1755 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,719 Speaker 7: exactly the same. It's now got one and a half 1756 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:26,280 Speaker 7: million names on the latest that I've seen, and as 1757 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:29,880 Speaker 7: KOs Darma rightly says, these are people who didn't vote Labor. 1758 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:35,240 Speaker 7: But you know, it's just the opposition, and I find 1759 01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:40,479 Speaker 7: it I find it nasty, terribly undemocratic and edging towards 1760 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:44,200 Speaker 7: the sort of chaos you found in America where people 1761 01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 7: refuse to accept verdicts. And it worries me to tell 1762 01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:48,759 Speaker 7: you the truth. 1763 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,320 Speaker 3: Mate, it's very well put. So the interesting thing for 1764 01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,240 Speaker 3: me is that, I mean, obviously the online thing solves 1765 01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,800 Speaker 3: a lot of problems, but it was only three and 1766 01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,200 Speaker 3: a half minutes ago. You had your election, and you 1767 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:01,320 Speaker 3: do have five terms, and if you were you know, 1768 01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:03,880 Speaker 3: four years and eight months and then you know, maybe 1769 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:05,280 Speaker 3: you might have been. There was a lot of corruption 1770 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,040 Speaker 3: and scandal. Having seen all of that, don't people work 1771 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,439 Speaker 3: out what they are? My suspicion as most people just 1772 01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 3: hated the Tories, voted for Labor and suddenly went out 1773 01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:16,120 Speaker 3: that's not what I wanted. 1774 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 7: Yes, I think that's true, but that's the nature of 1775 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 7: the democratic system. They voted for it, they've got it. 1776 01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:26,519 Speaker 7: You know, it's very difficult to say, you know, to 1777 01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:31,880 Speaker 7: say bias remorse. That's what we did. We voted for 1778 01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,800 Speaker 7: the Labor for the Labor Party, and it's not been 1779 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:38,160 Speaker 7: very good. But they have a five year term, possibly 1780 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,120 Speaker 7: a ten year term. Who knows, we get a chance 1781 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 7: in five years to vote for them. It really rankles 1782 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:48,360 Speaker 7: this kind of undercutting of democracy. You know, our democracy 1783 01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:53,439 Speaker 7: is not unflawed, no question about that, there are problems, 1784 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,880 Speaker 7: but this this is is a kind of betrayal of it. 1785 01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 7: And I'm surprised to see so many people who usually 1786 01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 7: travel against this while it's done by the left, and 1787 01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,280 Speaker 7: the left us itself more than the right, suddenly is 1788 01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:07,240 Speaker 7: the same tactics. 1789 01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, very interesting, All right, mat go, we'll see your Thursday. 1790 01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,600 Speaker 3: Rod Little out of Britain Tuesdays and Thursdays on the 1791 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,439 Speaker 3: MYC Hosking Breakfast Date forty five, the. 1792 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:19,920 Speaker 2: Hi Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1793 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:20,800 Speaker 2: News Talks at be. 1794 01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:23,800 Speaker 3: Twelve Ay from nine. The other thing in Britain that 1795 01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,160 Speaker 3: I find interesting is that Liz Kendall was out yesterday. 1796 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,200 Speaker 3: Over the weekend, young people who refuse to work will 1797 01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,040 Speaker 3: face having their benefits cup So once again this is 1798 01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,640 Speaker 3: a labor government, and once again we get the realization 1799 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,800 Speaker 3: that in Britain, and there's a lot of them, that 1800 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,280 Speaker 3: if you don't want to work and you can't really 1801 01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,160 Speaker 3: be bothered finding a job, then they'll still pay you. 1802 01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:46,120 Speaker 3: It's the most extraordinary thing in return for those new opportunities, 1803 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,240 Speaker 3: young people will have a responsibility to take them up. 1804 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,839 Speaker 3: There's nearly a million young people out of education, employment 1805 01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,479 Speaker 3: and training between July and September. A million literally doing 1806 01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 3: nothing and actively doing nothing. And even when given the 1807 01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:03,040 Speaker 3: opportunity and you still want to do nothing, they are 1808 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 3: still prepared to pay you some money. It's amazing, isn't 1809 01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:11,000 Speaker 3: Mike Rod doesn't like petitions, But isn't that just democracy 1810 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,639 Speaker 3: in action? Not sure where he's coming from, DeBie, where 1811 01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:16,559 Speaker 3: he's coming from. I mean, obviously, in a democracy, if 1812 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,040 Speaker 3: you want to start a petition, you to start a petition. 1813 01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:21,560 Speaker 3: But what you've got to understand is that when you 1814 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 3: do it, about three minutes after the contract you entered 1815 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,680 Speaker 3: into as a member of the citizenry i e. A 1816 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,120 Speaker 3: vote often called an election, you've got to accept the 1817 01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,200 Speaker 3: result of that election. And they have a government. It's 1818 01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:37,559 Speaker 3: called the Labor government, and they've got a five year term. Now, 1819 01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 3: if you want to sit around wasting your time signing 1820 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,960 Speaker 3: a petition, then go for gold. But to genuinely think 1821 01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 3: it can go anywhere fruit is pointless, fruitless, because the 1822 01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 3: deal is the deal. You have an election, you have 1823 01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,680 Speaker 3: spreaky policies. Everyone has a vote and the result is 1824 01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:54,600 Speaker 3: the results. So trying to overturn the result is what 1825 01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,559 Speaker 3: he was suggesting, is where he has a problem. Mike, 1826 01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,880 Speaker 3: I've just got back from the US and the GOP 1827 01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:01,840 Speaker 3: will be good for the US and not bad for 1828 01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:03,559 Speaker 3: the will the Dems are so far left, so woke, 1829 01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,320 Speaker 3: it's a joke. And the funny thing is the Americans 1830 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,200 Speaker 3: have worked it out. Having said that, I was thinking, 1831 01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 3: it's not a bad point you make. It's not the 1832 01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 3: party itself, it's the style of the party. So the 1833 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:18,040 Speaker 3: Democrats of today are not the Democrats of Clinton or Carter. 1834 01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,640 Speaker 3: The same way the Labor Party of New Zealand is 1835 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,439 Speaker 3: not the Labor Party of Mike Moore or Phil Goff 1836 01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:27,040 Speaker 3: or David Longi or Roger Douglas. It's a completely different version, 1837 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:29,880 Speaker 3: and that's why people react differently. By the way, tomorrow 1838 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:31,680 Speaker 3: on the program, we're going to be talking about the 1839 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,599 Speaker 3: business of the cash rape. Very important day, increasingly important 1840 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 3: given that we need desperately for the next fifty point cut. 1841 01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:41,200 Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's fifty. Everyone seems to agree it's fifty. 1842 01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 3: I know Greg argues from Devon that it should be 1843 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 3: seventy five, and I think Greggs one hundred percent right, 1844 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,799 Speaker 3: but unfortunately it's not going to go his way tomorrow. 1845 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:53,360 Speaker 3: I hope it does, but it won't. A and Z, 1846 01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:55,760 Speaker 3: A is B, Westpac B and Z kwibank they all 1847 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 3: say fifty down to four point twenty five neutral rates 1848 01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,880 Speaker 3: about three point five three three seven five, So say 1849 01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:03,920 Speaker 3: it's three to five, we've got three quarters of a 1850 01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:04,400 Speaker 3: point to go? 1851 01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:04,920 Speaker 6: Is that? 1852 01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:05,560 Speaker 12: What was that? 1853 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 3: Three lots to twenty five feed March and April something 1854 01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,960 Speaker 3: like that, and then we're at neutral and that's kind 1855 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,880 Speaker 3: of where it's over. And the Reserve Bank probably won't 1856 01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:18,360 Speaker 3: do anymore unless after what they've done there, the economy 1857 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,680 Speaker 3: still doesn't fire. And if it doesn't fire, then what 1858 01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:25,160 Speaker 3: do they do? Do they cut further to stimulate the economy? 1859 01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 3: Could you believe that could be a scenario we're talking 1860 01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:29,400 Speaker 3: about in twenty twenty five anyway, But for tomorrow it's 1861 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,679 Speaker 3: a cash rate day. Were the full monetary policy statement, 1862 01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:34,560 Speaker 3: by the way, which means that everyone's going to be 1863 01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,840 Speaker 3: running through the running through the fine wording, running into 1864 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,360 Speaker 3: the weeds to work out what's going on in Adrian's 1865 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,439 Speaker 3: head and That's quite a story all by itself, isn't it? 1866 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,800 Speaker 3: Eight minutes away from nine the make Hostle. 1867 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:50,000 Speaker 1: Rapist with al Vida retirement communities. 1868 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,479 Speaker 3: Sticks away from eight mosaic brands which you may or 1869 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,800 Speaker 3: may not know the name of. They went into this 1870 01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:57,720 Speaker 3: out of Australia, but it also involves us. They went 1871 01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 3: into voluntary administration, let's say a month ago October twenty eight. Anyway, 1872 01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:06,519 Speaker 3: KPMG is in charge of them. They fell over completely yesterday. 1873 01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,720 Speaker 3: Three hundred employees, twenty three Bangladeshi garment factories rode more 1874 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 3: than thirty million dollars. Are these names we know? Yes, 1875 01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:18,200 Speaker 3: Autograph b Me, cross Roads, Rockman's w Lane, Katie's, Miller's 1876 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:23,400 Speaker 3: Non d Rivers.

So 1878 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 3: they were once upon a time a big deal in fashion. 1879 01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,040 Speaker 3: But I don't know whether it's an individual story and 1880 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:34,680 Speaker 3: they're not very good at what they do, or it's 1881 01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:36,840 Speaker 3: a sign of the Australian slash New Zealand economy in 1882 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 3: terms of retail. But to go to administration, to completely 1883 01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,840 Speaker 3: fall over two hundred and fifty million dollars that, as 1884 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,679 Speaker 3: they say, is a mess five away from nine. 1885 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:52,959 Speaker 2: Trending now with Chemist ware House, Great savings every. 1886 01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,120 Speaker 3: Day, Bright Golf.
