The Prime 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 3: Minister is making four hundred and eighty thousand dollars at 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 3: the sale of two of his properties. Why are we 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 3: even talking about this? He's with us after seven thirty, 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 3: will chat in about it. We'll get infrastructuring New Zealand's 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 3: take on how much they're loving the building focus the 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 3: government is on for the rest of this year, or 12 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 3: through his mayor on where the council should get a 13 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 3: share of that new tourism money. And also Catherine Field and. 14 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 4: Rob Little, Heather Duplicity Allen. 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 3: So we've got a fascination with prime ministers and their money, 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 3: it turns out, and Last News One last night One 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 3: News did the calculation that Christopher Luxen stands to make 18 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 3: four hundred and eighty thousand dollars off the sale of 19 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 3: his apartment in Wellington. He's moving out because he's going 20 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 3: over to Premier House, and also also a rental property 21 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: that he's selling in South Auckland. Now the implication of 22 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 3: the story was basically Christoph Luck's making too much money 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: off these properties, he should be taxed. Over the weekend, 24 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 3: a newspaper in Wellington also reported that Jacinda Ardern is 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: earning three hundred and sixteen thousand dollars per appearance every 26 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 3: time she speaks on the international speaking circuit, and the 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 3: implication there was certainly in commentary afterwards, that it's unethical 28 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: for her to be doing that. It's damaging her reputation 29 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: by showing that she really does love money over doing 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 3: good after all, and if Prome ministers keep on doing 31 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: stuff like this, how do we know that they're actually 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: making the right decisions when they are in power and 33 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: not thinking about what kind of money they're going to 34 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 3: earn afterwards. Now, look, I don't mind the fascination with 35 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: prime minister's and former prime minister's earnings. I think it's 36 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: completely human nature to be into it. And well, we're 37 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: fascinated by what our colleagues earned, right, so why wouldn't 38 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: we be fascinated by what Luxin and Arderne earn. However, 39 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: that is where I think it should stop at fascination. 40 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with Jasinda Ardun earning that much money 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: off the speaking circuit. Frankly, if we're honest about it, 42 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: talking was about the only thing she was actually good at, 43 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: and she'd be all not to take that kind of 44 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: money if it's on offer. Same goes for Luxon. He 45 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,279 Speaker 3: was a well paid businessman before politics. You would expect 46 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: him to have plenty of money. You would expect him 47 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 3: to put some of that money into property, and unless 48 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: things have gone very bad for him in his calculations, 49 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 3: you would expect him to make money off a property, 50 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: especially one that he has apparently renovated. Nothing wrong here 51 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: to suggest that Luckson's capital gain on his property is 52 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: evidence that we need a capital gains tax And to 53 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: suggest that just in this speaking circuit means that we 54 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: need to put some sort of restraint of trade on 55 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: future Prome ministers is just taking it a bit far, 56 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: isn't it. I mean, it's fine to be fascinated. Just 57 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: leave it at that. 58 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 4: News of the world in ninety seconds. 59 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: Well, the US aren't mourning Nozrala.

He's on his way to help. 83 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 10: I'm competed to traveling to the impacted areas as soon 84 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 10: as part Well, I've been told that disruptive if I 85 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 10: did it right now. We will not do that at 86 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 10: the risk of diverting or delaying any any of the 87 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 10: response assets needed to deal with this crisis. 88 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: Do you remember those two astronauts who are stuck up 89 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: in space. Well, a SpaceX riscue capsule has docked at 90 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: the International Space Station to help them out, but it's 91 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: still going to be a while before they're coming home. 92 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 11: I missed my two dogs, I miss my friends.

We have found the daily amount 99 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 3: the perfect one. Researchers in China looked at data from 100 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 3: the UK Biobank, which is figures from about half a 101 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: million people in it. They found that if you have 102 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 3: three cups of coffee a day, you have a lower 103 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: risk of developing things like diabetes or cardiovascular disease. In fact, 104 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: the risk drops by half compared to those who drink 105 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 3: less than one cup of coffee a day. Leader get 106 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: it in. Yeah, and that is the news of the 107 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: world in ninety seconds. Now, it looks like whatever Israel 108 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: is going to do in Lebanon is going to happen 109 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 3: potentially quite soon. Israel has told the US. This is 110 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: according to a US official. Israel has already told the 111 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 3: US that it's planning to launch a limited ground evasion 112 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: in Lebanon, and it may come as soon as within 113 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: the next twenty four hours. His Bolla, though, is now 114 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 3: having to think about choosing a successor for Hassan Nazraela, 115 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: who was killed over the weekend. Some reckon it could 116 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: be a cousin on his mom's side. Chap's name is 117 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 3: Hashem Safirdin, who is potentially more hard line than Israela himself. 118 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: He's the head of his bolla's executive council. He's the 119 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: managing the group operations. He's also the son in law 120 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: of the late Iranian general Solimani, so you'll know him, 121 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 3: I suppose through family connections. 122 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: Thirteen past six, the Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast 123 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered. 124 00:05:59,440 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: By News to. 125 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 3: Here the one news didn't allow for the realistate agent fees. 126 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 3: I suppose there's two of those, actually two different properties. 127 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: All the money that was spent on doing the houses up, 128 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 3: it was completely inaccurate. I'm sorry, but this has nothing 129 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: to do with us. Just looks like tall poppy syndrome. 130 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: That's from Kurston Right now, it's sixteen past set Andrew 131 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 3: klahoef JM I Wealth is with us. Hello Andrew, morning, Heather. 132 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: Now what are you making of that am ze business confidence? 133 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 12: Well, here's a This is a conundrum, isn't it. This 134 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 12: is a conundrum because we're getting this this gloomy picture 135 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 12: of parts of the domestic economy, but the business confidence 136 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,559 Speaker 12: is telling us sort of quite a different story. 137 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 4: It's soaring, it's through the roof. 138 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 12: And this is sort of despite the fact that we're 139 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 12: seeing sort of tough times for things like retail, hospitality, construction. 140 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 12: You're seeing a big squeeze on discretionary spending. And Heather, 141 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 12: we've got the probability that right now we're probably in 142 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 12: the midst of an economic recession. 143 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 13: So what's going on. 144 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 12: One of the numbers well AINSID Business Outlook released yesterday's 145 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 12: telling us that headline business confidence rows ten points to 146 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 12: plus sixty one. This is the highest level in around 147 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 12: a decade, so it's pretty frothy. Expected own activity that 148 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 12: has a good correlation with growth. That's up eight points 149 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 12: to plus forty five. But here's where it gets interesting. 150 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 12: Experienced own activity, So what's actually happened. That's still sitting 151 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 12: in negative territory minus nineteen. It did go come up 152 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 12: from minus twenty three. Experienced employment, so this points to 153 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 12: the labor market. It also fell five points, and pricing 154 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 12: intentions points to inflation rose slightly up two points. So 155 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 12: digging through the survey, Heather, I'd make the following comments. One, 156 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 12: I look at the retail sector. They think things are 157 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 12: going to get better, and that's quite marked. It rose 158 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 12: from plus fifty six to plus seventy five. But there's 159 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 12: an element right through the survey of what's called the 160 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 12: base effect. 161 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 4: So people are asked. 162 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 12: The question people ask Heather is will things get better 163 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 12: or if you know, are things going to get better? Well, 164 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 12: they were so negative that getting better doesn't mean that 165 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 12: things are going to be bointed. This means they're better 166 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 12: than horrible. Also, there's a very clear differentiation between where things, 167 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 12: where the reality is now where it's expected to be, 168 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 12: So your experienced own activity versus your expected activity. So 169 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 12: the here and now is bad, but it's expected to 170 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 12: get better. Just looking at construction that specifically forward and 171 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 12: backward and indicators there have lifted. That's an interest rates 172 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 12: sensitive sector. So now we start to look at things 173 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 12: like building consents to see if we can see a 174 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 12: sort of a reaction and upput lift in those consents. 175 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 12: And now I suppose the final comment I was made 176 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 12: was what what does this mean for the RB and Z. 177 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 12: What are the implications there? I think this will give 178 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 12: them some couse to reflect on the potential impact of 179 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 12: too much interest rate relief too soon. And the risk 180 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 12: is the authors of the survey said, of two vigorous 181 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 12: a response to lower interest rates. Now the thing is 182 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 12: wholesale interest rates, not the ocr wholesale interesstrates. They've been 183 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 12: falling since April. I think the RB and Z will 184 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 12: be more influenced by the ENTEREDI Quadly Survey Business Opinion 185 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 12: that's due this week. It's a Cordly survey. 186 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 13: There's a lot of detail in that. 187 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 12: If that's telling a similar story, it adds more weight 188 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 12: to the argument that maybe they want to throttle back 189 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 12: on the pace of further ocr cut, so we wait 190 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 12: and see. 191 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: That's a fair point. Hey, So it doesn't look like 192 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: the Japanese share markets loving the new incoming prime minister. 193 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 12: No, they did not like Shuguru Asheba coming in at all. 194 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 12: So he won the race for the lead of the 195 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 12: ruing ruling Liberal Democrat Party. He beat Sinai tucka Ichi 196 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 12: to the position. When we got to it yesterday, the 197 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 12: Japanese share market futures they were absolutely cratering down six 198 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 12: percent and trading during the day. They did see the 199 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 12: NIK two two five for one nine hundred and ten 200 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 12: points four point eight percent, so it regained some of 201 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 12: that six percent. It wasn't quite as bad as a 202 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 12: six percent fall, still a meeting fall. The issue here 203 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 12: is the attitude to monetary policy. The market sees Ishiba 204 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 12: is less favorable to easier monetary policy. 205 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 13: Share market didn't like that though. But did you see 206 00:09:58,880 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 13: the Chinese share market. 207 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 12: Yes today head it did you see that? 208 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: Yep? 209 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 12: Carson, Yeah, Carson, and I have to China. Chinese sharemaker's 210 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 12: got absolute rocket under them. Shanghai composite gained almost thirteen 211 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 12: percent last week. Yesterday up eight percent the shit the 212 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 12: shen Zen index was up almost ten percent in one 213 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 12: to day. This is phenomenal. These are the biggest games 214 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 12: we've seeing the Chinese share market since two thousand and eight. 215 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 12: Massive turnaround in fortunes. And I have to leave you 216 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 12: with this, Heather, I saw a line yesterday and the 217 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 12: markets have been talked about this ABC phenomenon. So up 218 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 12: to last week, ABC was anything but China. Now ABC 219 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 12: means all and by China, So China got up. Might 220 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 12: talk more about it tomorrow if. 221 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 13: We've got time. 222 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: Yea, how quickly that turned around? Hey, give me the numbers. 223 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: Sure. 224 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 12: The Dow Jones down one hundred and fifteen points.

What's happening 318 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: is that tourists arriving here in this country are paying more. Right. 319 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: This is the International Visitors Levey. It was thirty five 320 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: bucks yesterday's one hundred bucks today. And the councils have 321 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 3: looked at that and they said, oh, difference is sixty 322 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 3: five dollars. Will have that, thank you very much. They 323 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: want that given to councils up and down this country 324 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: basically to spend on the facilities that that councils use 325 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: and so on. Now, I'm sure a lot of us 326 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 3: have got some sympathy for the idea. The trouble is, 327 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 3: councils are rubbish with money, aren't they. They just blow 328 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: it on the weirdest things. 329 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 18: I mean. 330 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 3: And case in point was last week Hastings District Council 331 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: giving the unelected youth the vote and that comes with 332 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 3: a two thousand dollars paypack every year, which is not 333 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: a lot of money, but it all adds up in 334 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 3: the end. Anyway. One of the mayors who I think 335 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 3: that that we're most impressed with at the moment, as 336 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: as Metania tapsles, she's going to be U quarter past 337 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: seven and try to make the case for this for us. 338 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 3: It's twenty two away from seven. Let us they want 339 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: to lay out, so it looks like we're going to 340 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: be waiting at least ten years to find new gas. Now, 341 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 3: this is the advice for the government because it is 342 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 3: of course repealing the oil and gas exploration ban at 343 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 3: the moment. In submissions on that close today and Resources 344 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: Minister Shane Jones is with us. Now, Hey Shane, hey morning, folks, 345 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: what do you reckon the chances aren't. These guys are right, 346 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 3: and we don't get any new gas within the next decade. 347 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 19: Oh, I have a long term view about this. We're 348 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 19: going to need gas in New Zealand or cold until 349 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 19: twenty fifty. And all we're doing is ensuring that we 350 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 19: get rid of the de cinder of Durned Band, which 351 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 19: was an attempt to close down the gas industry, and 352 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 19: we didn't like that. I don't want to see it 353 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 19: persist one minute longer than it should. 354 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 3: No, No, I agree with you on that, But I mean, 355 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: does this seems to me a little bit pessimistic to 356 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 3: be thinking that we're just going to have to be 357 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 3: importing LG for the next ten years. 358 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 19: Well through the entire system Sadly, over the last six 359 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 19: years there's been this creep of wocism and people are 360 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 19: working in a lot of these climate orientated locations have 361 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 19: become very cynical towards the gas industry. They seem to 362 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 19: regard it as a mortal threat and the planet's going 363 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 19: to be boiling, all of which is rubbish. And New 364 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 19: Zealand emissions are a fraction and we need to sustain 365 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 19: our industry and make sure that we put new Zealand first, 366 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 19: and not climate first. 367 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 3: Shane, what makes up these ten years? I mean, is 368 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 3: this because we know there's gas out there right, We 369 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 3: know that there are a bunch of fields that could 370 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 3: potentially actually pump up a whole lot. So how does 371 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 3: it take ten years to get it out of the ground. 372 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 3: As part of that you having to convince them to 373 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: come back. 374 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 19: Yeah, part of it is the confidence that was dented 375 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 19: after Descenda summarily canceled industry. But in addition to that, 376 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 19: we already have gas fields and quite a bit of 377 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 19: a problem has been the uncertainty going forward. If they 378 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 19: do spend one hundred couple of hundred million dollars, what 379 00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 19: about if a new government arrives and indiscriminately cancels this industry, 380 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 19: which is we've got to explore ways of protecting people's rights. 381 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 19: It's absurd that you and I are even having this discussion, 382 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 19: which probably belongs in Venezuela, not New Zealand're. 383 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: Youre right, Hallison? What about those protesters yesterday? Why do 384 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: you stop to have a chat to them? 385 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 19: Shane actually went for a haircut and then Rodney Wayne's 386 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 19: my appointment had been postponed. Look, they were initially at 387 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 19: Parliament and yeah, across the road and they saw me 388 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 19: and gave me a blast. But hey, they're entitled to 389 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 19: their views. I'm not going to take a backward step 390 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 19: from these. 391 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: You were enjoying it though, a because you stopped and 392 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 3: had a little chat right back at them. 393 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 19: Yeah, but I mean, I think Key, we want to 394 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 19: see someone put an alternative view to these frog loving, 395 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 19: lizard obsessive characters. 396 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 3: Shane, good on you more of it, Thanks very much 397 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 3: that Shane Jones, the Resource Minister. 398 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 4: Do to see Ellen? 399 00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 8: Why not? 400 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 3: It was quite fun to watch that.

First 439 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 3: days wrapped up. How the first day go, Well. 440 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 15: It was actually extraordinary, Heather, because not only did we 441 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 15: see that far right leader of the French National Ralligh 442 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 15: Marine la Penne, coming into the top, but also twenty 443 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 15: four other members of her party, all of them on 444 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 15: trial for accused of embezzling European parliamentary funds. 445 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 14: They all have pleaded not guilty. 446 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 15: What it relates to, Heather, is right back in two 447 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 15: thousand and four, when it was then the National Front 448 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 15: was really starting to get going in politics. It was 449 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 15: getting members into the European Parliament, but they didn't really 450 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 15: have the money to be able to operate properly here 451 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 15: in France. So what they did was, or what they're 452 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 15: accused of doing, is taking some of the money that 453 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 15: was given to them for operating in the European Parliament 454 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 15: and used it to give jobs, contracts and all sorts 455 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 15: of work to parliamentary assistants who worked for the actual 456 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 15: party here in Paris, rather than non European parliamentary matters. 457 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 14: So the sums are quite exceptional. 458 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 15: About five and a half million New Zealand dollars is 459 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 15: how much they're accused of diverting. They've already paid back 460 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 15: about a quarter, just every quarter of that. But they 461 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 15: did say that does not mean that they are guilty 462 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 15: of this. But of course it comes really bad time 463 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 15: for her because this could really derail her presidential ambitions. 464 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 15: She seems to think that she's in for a chance, 465 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 15: last chance in twenty twenty seven when the French presidential 466 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 15: elections and next jury take place. Of course, if she's 467 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 15: found guilty of embusiment, she could be not only sentenced 468 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 15: to prison term, but also the court could hand down 469 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 15: her right to stand for elected office. That would last 470 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 15: for about ten years. 471 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 3: Yep, quite a long double that would put it. That 472 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 3: would dash her hopes of any kind of leadership position 473 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 3: in politics, wouldn't it. 474 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 14: Oh, that would pretty much be the end of it. 475 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 8: Yeah. 476 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 14: To come back from that that, they said she was 477 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 14: quite honest in court. She said, look, we have not 478 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 14: violated any rules. I will be here. 479 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 15: I will defend not just myself but also the way 480 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 15: the party was. So I think they've also been saying 481 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 15: over the years there's this case. It's turned through because 482 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 15: it relates to what two thousand and four to twenty sixteen. 483 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 14: They're saying. 484 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 15: The problem is party financing. All the parties are doing that. 485 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 15: It's just you think we're the only ones doing it. 486 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 15: And so again we hear them playing the victim character. 487 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 15: You're only picking on us because we're the far right. 488 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, Cathern. Now you guys have obviously got 489 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 3: yourselves a government and a prime minister. Finally, do you 490 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 3: think it's going to hold? This is the question? 491 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 15: Right, Well, that's right, the seventh of July, when those 492 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 15: elections are held, seen such a long time ago, doesn't Batiers. 493 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 14: There is the prime minister and the government. 494 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 15: And on Tuesday, the Prime Minister, Michelle Vanier will have 495 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 15: the sort of inaugural statement to the House. The French 496 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 15: parliament will get to hear him set out his policy 497 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 15: priorities will at last who knows, who knows? Apparently he's 498 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 15: going to announce all sorts of rises and taxes. He's 499 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 15: going to talk about cutting some public services. It is 500 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 15: a minority government, it is a very right wing government. 501 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 15: Considering that they also considering that majority of people voted 502 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 15: for the center or left candidates. 503 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 14: Will he survives. 504 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 15: Well, he's clearly quite concerned about it because usually after 505 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 15: the Prime Minister sets out the policy priorities for the 506 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 15: next year, they put. 507 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 14: It to the vote in Parliament. 508 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 15: Now he's said, and constitutionally he's allowed to do that. 509 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 15: He said, there will be no vote in parliament for 510 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 15: his speech. 511 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 3: How much do you reckon the Pope hated his trip 512 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 3: to Belgium. 513 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 14: Oh, I think he just hated it. He hated every 514 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 14: minute of the heather. He clearly misjudged the murder. 515 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 15: He came to Belgium and to Luxembourg thinking and hoping 516 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 15: he will get quite a good response, well aware of 517 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 15: course that Europe has become so much more secular over 518 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 15: the last few decades, and also that there has been 519 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 15: this constant question mark of whether the Vatican and whether 520 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 15: the Church itself in Belgium has shown enough sorrow, has 521 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 15: acted enough in all these allegations of sexual abuse. Now, 522 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 15: what was two things particularly very embarrassing for him? 523 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 2: Hew? 524 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 15: That one was the Belgian Prime Minister and the Belgian 525 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 15: King both publicly asked the Pope to understand those who 526 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 15: had suffered sexual abuse at the hands of the clergy. 527 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 15: There was also criticism that the Vatican had not moved 528 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 15: quickly enough on the then Bishop of Bruges, who retired 529 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 15: in twenty ten after admitting sexual abusing his nephew. 530 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 14: He was only defrault this year. And then, of course 531 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 14: the Pope. 532 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 15: Went to Belgium to celebrate, if you like, six hundred 533 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 15: years of the famous Catholic University and Live, and two 534 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 15: of the rectors stood up and made speeches criticizing the 535 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 15: Catholic Church, saying that they needed to do more to 536 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 15: have a role for women within the church, they needed 537 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 15: to do more for LGBT Catholics and also you're just 538 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 15: saying you have to do more. So the Pope left 539 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 15: went home. Apparently on the way home on the plane 540 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 15: he described doctors who carry out abortions as hitmen. So 541 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 15: you clearly did not listen to any of the words 542 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 15: that were spoken to him during his and Belgium. 543 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: Is probably happy to be out of there. Hey, thank 544 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 3: you very much. Catherine always appreciated as Catherine Field correspondent 545 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 3: from France. John Key, by the way, has weighed in 546 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 3: on the US election, has given an interview and given 547 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 3: us as thought. So it's as quite some interesting points 548 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 3: that he's made, So I'm going to run you through 549 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 3: that in the next hour. So it's nine away from 550 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 3: seven either Dupless. 551 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: The Allen von the my Cosking, Breakfast with a Vida 552 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: Retirement Communities News tog said, be. 553 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 3: Six away from seven. I'll tell you what new book 554 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 3: about Elon Musk is going to be coming out soon, 555 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 3: and it sounds absolutely fascinating if you're into kind of 556 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 3: working out how somebody like Elon Musk, quite a controversial 557 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 3: figure texts. It's called character limit. How Elon Musk destroyed 558 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 3: destroyed Twitter. I don't think that's up for debate. I mean, 559 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 3: the thing is completely unusable now. It's just it's hideous 560 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: since he's got a hold of it. And that's something 561 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 3: else completely clearly, judging by reviews of the book, Elon 562 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 3: Musk is obviously something of a genius. If you didn't 563 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: already know this, because I mean example that they use 564 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 3: in the book is that before many of us could 565 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 3: see the impact that the Internet would have on media, 566 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 3: even before the media could see the impact that the 567 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 3: Internet would have, and some of them are still struggling 568 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 3: to come to terms with that, he could see it 569 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 3: as far back as nineteen ninety eight, he said, I 570 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: think the Internet is the be all, in the end 571 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: all of media. And how right has he proved to be? 572 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: But obviously flawed character, completely obsessed with his own popularity 573 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 3: and impact, obsessed with becoming the most followed person on Twitter, 574 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 3: like if he had any followers tailing off or whatever, 575 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 3: he'd launch investigations trying to figure out what was going 576 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 3: on there. And at one point, apparently he made a 577 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 3: tweet supporting a super Bowl team, and President Biden put 578 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 3: out a tweet supporting the same super Bowl team, and 579 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 3: President Biden got more interest than he did on Twitter, 580 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 3: so he walked out of the Super Bowl event flew 581 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 3: to San Francisco to try to oversee efforts to figure 582 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 3: out how on earth this had happened to him. That 583 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 3: is how crazy this guy is character limit, How Elon 584 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: must destroyed Twitter? How good is that? 585 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: It's the fiz with business Fiber take your business productivity 586 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: to the next level? 587 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 3: Righty, you got the latest centric start of for you 588 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 3: this morning. Their credit indicator numbers for August, the number 589 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 3: of consumers behind on payments has increased slightly to four 590 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty one thousand of us now. To put 591 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 3: that in perspective, that is twelve point three percent of 592 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 3: the population got active credit at the moment. That's six 593 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 3: percent higher year on year, and those areas are expected 594 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 3: to continue to go higher in late spring early summer. 595 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 3: New credit card applications have risen to their highest numbers 596 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 3: since November twenty twenty one, which shows us that people 597 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: are looking at alternative ways to handle payments and purchases. 598 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 3: Financial hardship cases are up in a big way, with 599 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 3: amount of people and personal financial strife up twenty four 600 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: percent year on year. On the business credit side of things, 601 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 3: credit defaults are up five percent across all industries. There 602 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 3: is some good news kind of. It's known within the 603 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: industry that when people are struggling, more often than not, 604 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 3: the first thing you fall behind it on is your 605 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 3: car payments. But vehicle loan areas are at six percent, 606 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 3: which is unchanged year on year, so it's not getting 607 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 3: any worse at least, So there's some good news in 608 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 3: there somewhere. Right after the news, we're gonna have a 609 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 3: chat to Nick Legett, Infrastructure New Zealand CEO and what 610 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 3: he makes of the government's plan to get building in 611 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 3: the next what three months through to the end of 612 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 3: the year, and also should councils get any more of 613 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 3: that tourism money or are any it all?

Infrastructure looks like it's going to 621 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 3: be the government's focus for what is left of this year. 622 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 3: The Prime Minister released his Quarter four action Plan yesterday. 623 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 3: Plenty of the targets are focused on getting things built 624 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 3: and infrastructure. New Zealand CEO Nick Leggat is with us now. 625 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: Hey Nick, Hey, it feels to me like the most 626 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 3: important thing on that list infrastructure wise, is passing the 627 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 3: Fast Track Approvals Bill. What do you think? 628 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 16: I think that is definitely a biggie that will help 629 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 16: unlock and speed up infrastructure projects that might otherwise have 630 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 16: sat around for a long time. But then you can't 631 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 16: ignore the replacements to the RAMA. You can't ignore the 632 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 16: National Infrastructure Agency, which is going to be that shop 633 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 16: front for foreign direct investment and then those funding and 634 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 16: financing tools to get more housing built. It is going 635 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 16: to be really important as well. Hither there's a lot there. 636 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 16: I guess that's the message and the government with infrastructure, 637 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 16: it's obviously a long term game, but you need the 638 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 16: settings and the policies to unlock infrastructure at every step, 639 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 16: whether it's funding it, designing, planning and actually delivering it. 640 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 16: And the government are in this position where they've got 641 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 16: a walk in cheu gum. At the same time, the 642 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 16: system needs work. That's because New Zealand doesn't have a 643 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 16: coherent system. That's actually not the fault of any government, 644 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 16: but we've got to have a coherent system that works together. 645 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 16: So they've got to do the system changes and then 646 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 16: they've got to keep getting the projects into the market 647 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 16: and building the things that they said they would and 648 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 16: building those projects that are going to help make New 649 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 16: Zealand more productive and improve our economy. 650 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 3: Now, given the upset and horde off anywhere at the moment, 651 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 3: how do you think the tolling plans are going to 652 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 3: go down? 653 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 16: Well, look, I think there is We're going to need 654 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 16: to change our mindset on tolling if we want things, 655 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 16: there isn't this magical money theory that's going to come 656 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 16: down from the sky and just deliver them. We are 657 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 16: in a tight fiscal position, but it is also about 658 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 16: fairness and equity and those that use these in this 659 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 16: case roads should pay a little bit more for those. 660 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 16: What we do in New Zealand is that we tend 661 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 16: to build stuff and then forget about it. And what 662 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 16: we know is that internationally we're in the bottom four 663 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 16: countries of the OECD in terms of the way we 664 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 16: manage our assets, and so we don't renew, we don't maintain. 665 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 16: I think Key Wes can feel that with things like 666 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 16: roads and water. So actually taking some money aside every 667 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 16: year from the users of a road, and you know, 668 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 16: putting that towards either the capital cost or maintenance and 669 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 16: repairs and renewal will actually go a hell of a 670 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 16: long way to keeping these assets fit for purpose over time. 671 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 16: We've got to take this longer term view of the 672 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 16: country and yeah, it is going to take a shift 673 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 16: in mindset. But if we want these things, you know, 674 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 16: we've got to learn that that we've got to pay 675 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 16: for them out of our own pockets as we go. 676 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 3: As well, Nick, really quickly, do you have a view 677 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 3: on whydn Eden's hospital has blown out the way? 678 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 19: Does? 679 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 3: Is this a problem with the contractor. 680 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 16: No, These problems tend to be right from the outset 681 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 16: header when you know the way the project was shaped 682 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 16: and structured. From the outset. They didn't link the design 683 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 16: and the builders together, which they should have done. And 684 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 16: you're seeing that planet there, but you know it's like 685 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 16: it's like anything. There are multiple reasons, you know, obviously 686 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 16: an obsession with where it was cited, lots of detail 687 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 16: that added cost that probably if a rational human was 688 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 16: looking at it, we go, oh, we don't really need that. 689 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 16: I think that we've got to get in better to 690 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 16: standardization in this country across everything we build buildings, roads, bridges, 691 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 16: whatever it might be, because if you can, if you 692 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 16: can standardize a design more often, it's much easier and 693 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 16: cheaper to produce and you're not compromising standards. 694 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 3: That's a fair point. Hey, thank you, Nick, appreciate. It's 695 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 3: an a leiget of infrastructure New Zealand. By the way, 696 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 3: on the Dunedin hospital, obviously Chris Lux and the Prime 697 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 3: Minister with us after half past. 698 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,719 Speaker 4: Six together dup ZL on past seven. 699 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 3: Now it could be a life changing day for thousands 700 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 3: across the country today because a range of sort after 701 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 3: medicines are going to be available from FARMAC, including of 702 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 3: a key truder. And joining us now is the Cancer 703 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 3: Society CEO Nicola Kumme Nikolain. 704 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 20: Good morning morning, Heather. 705 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been counting down to today. 706 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 20: Oh, absolutely, today is significant for us So many families 707 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 20: across our country and well overdo. 708 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 3: Are there people who have literally been waiting to get 709 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 3: the drug key true to the one that everybody wants 710 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 3: to get their hands on. Are there people who've literally 711 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 3: been waiting and will today be able to get it 712 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 3: and weren't able to yesterday? 713 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 20: Absolutely they've done only in waiting, but some of them 714 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 20: have also been self funding, mortgaging their homes, traveling outside 715 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 20: of our country. So today is life changing and more 716 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 20: importantly life extending for these families. This will give these 717 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 20: families more time. 718 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 3: Of all the things that this government has done, I 719 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 3: would put boosting farmac's budget right up there as one 720 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 3: of the most important. What do you think. 721 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 20: Couldn't agree with you more? Couldn't agree with you more? 722 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 20: And look, some that have come under a lot of 723 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 20: criticism over the last few years. Been one of those people. 724 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 20: But it is very difficult to invest in cancer jokes 725 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 20: when you don't have when you don't have the funding. 726 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 20: So this is a significant investment of what I understand, 727 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 20: it's the largest of its kind ever in New Zealand. 728 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 20: So yeah, absolutely life changing, brilliant. 729 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 3: Very very happy for you guys. I thank you very much. Nicola. 730 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 3: That's Nicola Kub of the Cancer Society. 731 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 4: Ever do to see Allen. 732 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 3: Here's the thing to keep out for today. Three hours 733 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 3: from our round about ten o'clock, en Zier is going 734 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 3: to put out its quarterly survey of business opinion. Now 735 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 3: why this is important is because this is going to 736 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 3: give us a clue Andrew Keller, who was talking about 737 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 3: this earlier on, It's going to give us a clue 738 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 3: as to what the Reserve Bank does next week with 739 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 3: the official cash rate. The feeling is if we are 740 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,760 Speaker 3: too upbeat in the survey, given how upbeat we were 741 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 3: in the A and Z survey which was put out yesterday, 742 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 3: if we're too upbeat in two of these surveys, both 743 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 3: of them, it might move the Reserve Bank to only 744 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 3: cut the official cash rate by twenty five basis points. 745 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 3: If we're not too upbeat, if we're still showing signs 746 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 3: that we're pretty gloomy and stuff, they will lean more 747 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 3: towards fifty basis points because basically they don't want to 748 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 3: overcook it in the other direction. Right, they've gone too 749 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 3: hard in crushing the economy. They now don't want to 750 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 3: free it up too fast. So if we're just going 751 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 3: to be like fizzing, absolute already fizzing, and then they 752 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 3: give us another fifty and then we're really peaking, that's 753 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 3: not what they wanted. Also, keep an eye on at 754 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 3: ten o'clock, as I say, fourteen past. 755 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 1: Seven, the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 756 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 757 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 3: That'd be right at sixteen past seven. So the international 758 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 3: visitor levy went up today. Yesterday it costs tourists thirty 759 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 3: five bucks to enter the country. Today it's going to 760 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 3: sting them one hundred bucks. And now councils want to 761 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 3: share of that new money. In fact, I mean, let's 762 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 3: put this honestly, they want all of that new money. 763 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 3: It all to do is mayor Tanya tapsle is with us. Now, Hey, Tanya, 764 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 3: good morning, councils are dreaming, aren't they? 765 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 2: Tania, I, I've got to try, We've got to try. Look, 766 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 2: can I congratulate our ministers of Tourism and Conservation on 767 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 2: finding a way to increase investment into tourism. But you know, 768 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 2: councils are the ones that actually invest in this infrastructure. 769 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 2: That's our local players. I think it's fair enough to say, hey, 770 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 2: can you share the love? 771 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I can see that, and there'll be 772 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 3: a lot of sympathy for that if you were to 773 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 3: if they were to come around to the idea of 774 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 3: giving you the sixty five bucks, which is obviously not 775 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 3: going to happen, how would you share that any case? 776 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 2: Well, look, for us, it's back to basics. So for 777 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 2: a government that's asking us to invest in orders and 778 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 2: core infrastructure, it's things like public toilets. But you know, 779 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 2: even a Mackenzie district just to clean the public toilets 780 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 2: used by tourists added one percent to this year's rate spill. 781 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 2: So it is quite significant for us to maintain these 782 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 2: facilities and also the environment that tourists use. 783 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. The difficulty that you guys have got, obviously is 784 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 3: that councils not necessarily yours time. Yeah, but other councils 785 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 3: are doing quite a good job of telling the public 786 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 3: that you guys don't know how to spend money. Would 787 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 3: you accept that. 788 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would accept that. It is doing pretty good child, 789 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 2: But other places we haven't seen great investment in infrastructure. 790 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 2: But the reality is we don't get enough money to 791 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 2: do so we rely on our local community. 792 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 3: Here's the difficulty, right, If you guys aren't getting enough money, 793 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 3: and I accept you don't have enough money, then how 794 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 3: on earth have you got councils like Hasting's District Council 795 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 3: deciding to give unelected youth voting rights and paying them 796 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 3: for that right. How have you got councils like Wellington 797 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 3: City Council deciding to spend about six hundred thousand dollars 798 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 3: on redesigning the footpath for a bi crack. If you 799 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 3: don't have enough money, you shouldn't have enough money for 800 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 3: that stuff. 801 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 2: Well, the important thing is the request will be ring fenced. 802 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 2: So we're saying international visitor levey, if you give us 803 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 2: a share of that, it will be ring fence for 804 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 2: tourism infrastructure only, which is a pretty massive issue for 805 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 2: many of us. So in odor to our populations, what 806 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 2: almost eighty thousand. We get over ten thousand visitors a 807 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 2: day when we're in our peak season, So it makes 808 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 2: sense for us to not burden our local communities, which 809 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 2: some of our communities across the country that get a 810 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 2: lot of tourists do not actually highly populated areas, which 811 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 2: is one of the big concerns. And we're just saying, hey, look, 812 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 2: instead of just getting sucked up into conservation areas is 813 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 2: potentially preer to programs on remote islands in places. Let's 814 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,879 Speaker 2: just make sure there's transparency on where the money goes. 815 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 2: Local councils can help with that. 816 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 3: How do you rate your chances. 817 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it a go. 818 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 20: We got to give it a go. 819 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 2: I think it's an important issue. We love our homes, 820 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 2: we love our environment, not just for visitors, also for locals. 821 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 2: We need to make sure that they're keeping up to you. 822 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 19: Great. 823 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 3: Oh good on you. God loves to try it. Daria, 824 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 3: thank you very much. Tanya taps a little to do 825 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 3: as Aba listen on politics. I feel like the Labor 826 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 3: Party might just want to put out a wee directive 827 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 3: to its MPs to just be a little bit careful 828 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 3: with the things that they're saying about Israel and the 829 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 3: posts that they make about Israel and the Gaza situation 830 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 3: at the at the moment, you will have seen by 831 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 3: now Damian O'Connor had to delete a tweet that he 832 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 3: reposted yesterday which said quote Palestinians have every right to 833 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 3: do whatever they did on October seven. Now, I'm sure 834 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 3: you can understand how offensive that is because especially given 835 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,439 Speaker 3: what was actually done on the day, because nothing would 836 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 3: justify that. And actually Dami and should know better. He's 837 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 3: been around a long time. He's a he's a pretty 838 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 3: cool guy. He's the Foreign Affairs spokesperson. So you know, 839 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 3: this is a rookie mistake he shouldn't be making, not 840 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 3: the first one because Duncan Web you remember he got 841 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,240 Speaker 3: in trouble for doing a similar thing, had to delete 842 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 3: the post as well. Not a good look, I would 843 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 3: say for a major party in New Zealand to be 844 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 3: this careless with something that is as controversial and inflammatory 845 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 3: and upsetting as that situation at the moment. So maybe 846 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 3: if they I don't know, I mean, it could be 847 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 3: quite simple what the Labour Party has to do about it, 848 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 3: just to say nobody says anything about this at all. 849 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 3: Done six twenty one. 850 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 851 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 852 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 3: I'd be If you're a business leader, you are always 853 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 3: looking for new innovative ideas, right, and you're looking for 854 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 3: ways to make better business decisions.

Look, we've got to talk about this. 876 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 3: I feel for Southland over the news that Air new 877 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 3: Zealand is cutting the Wellington to Invercargol route. But this 878 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 3: is business right. If that route was not making money, 879 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 3: it had to be cut. Air New Zealand's not a charity. 880 00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 3: This is a company, and it's a company that's actually 881 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 3: bleed money at the moment. You have a look at 882 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 3: what's just happened in the last financial year. In the 883 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 3: second half, Air new Zealand made no money. They made 884 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 3: no money. Now, in better times you could probably make 885 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 3: the argument that there is a social license that Air 886 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 3: new Zealand needs to fulfill to the regions. Even then, 887 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 3: frankly I wouldn't buy it, but someone might. But no 888 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 3: one in their right mind can seriously think that a 889 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 3: company losing money in the last six months should run 890 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 3: a flight to in Vicargo that compounds that loss. Now 891 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 3: I feel like in Vercargo needs a gentle reality check here, 892 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 3: and I say gentle because I realize you know that 893 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 3: the last thing they need is probably a reality check 894 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 3: when they're hurting as much as they are over this. 895 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,720 Speaker 3: But there is still a direct route from christ Church 896 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 3: to in Vicargo and much more importantly, a direct route 897 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 3: from Auckland to in Vericagol the gateway to the world. 898 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 3: Not every region can boast that, and also gentle reality 899 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 3: check for the local MP, Penny Simmons. She's complained about 900 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 3: the fact that she's now not going to be able 901 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 3: to get home after Parliament on a Thursday because the 902 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 3: Welling Welling into Invercargo flight has been cut in. The 903 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 3: only way around it now is basically to leave at 904 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 3: four o'clock. Leave the office then is far too early now. 905 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,720 Speaker 3: The reason that this flight has been cut is because 906 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 3: of her government's public service cuts, right. That's why Wellington 907 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 3: is the only leg that has been cut, because Wellington's 908 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 3: the one with the spending that's dried up. I wouldn't 909 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 3: be surprised if there are more Wellington roots in and 910 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 3: out of the Capitol that are changed for the same 911 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 3: reason because there's just no money in the capital anymore. 912 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 19: Now. 913 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 3: I don't mind that Penny Simmons government has done this. 914 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 3: In fact I applauded because I don't want our taxes 915 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,800 Speaker 3: to be used to buy flights just to keep a 916 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 3: route running. But reality checks all round, right, this is 917 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 3: business and air New Zealand is still social license or not. 918 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 3: At the heart of it a business. 919 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 4: Hell do for see Allen Heather. 920 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 3: How good is Tarnya? Can she move to Wellington and 921 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 3: be our mayor lord above every I'll tell you what 922 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 3: everybody would benefit I think from a little bit of 923 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 3: Tania running their situations at the moment, given what's going 924 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 3: on here, the wonder what rate the council's charge for 925 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 3: toilet cleaning. I think there's gonna be some golden toilet 926 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 3: brushes out there. One of the councils I was reading 927 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 3: about this morning, and I can't remember which one it is, 928 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,240 Speaker 3: has something like one percent of its rate bills going 929 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 3: into cleaning the toilets. And these are the toilets that 930 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,959 Speaker 3: the tourists use. So it's called to be a fair 931 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 3: price that's being charged. Like when I say fair, I 932 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 3: don't mean like fair and unfair. I mean a fair price. 933 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 3: It's being charged for those toilet cleaning services. Either, if 934 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 3: the councils stop spending loads of money on insane things, 935 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 3: they would have enough many money left over for their 936 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 3: core business and a rates cap. Look, this is my 937 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 3: argument right at the heart of it. If they could 938 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 3: just demonstrate, this is what Luxem's been saying, demonstrate that 939 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 3: you can spend properly and then you get more money. 940 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 3: Don't demonstrated to get no more money anyway. He's with 941 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 3: us straight after the news just after half past seven, 942 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:45,240 Speaker 3: news stooks ev. 943 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 1: Setting the news agenda and digging into the issues. 944 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 4: You have to see Ellen on the Mike asking. 945 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Bailey's real estate, your local experts across residential, 946 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: commercial and rural news talk sad. 947 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,399 Speaker 3: Be you're dog back and you'll know the name mich 948 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 3: James Key.

It started off 977 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 22: at one point two billion, it ended up going up 978 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 22: to one point six. We put another three hundred million 979 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 22: into it to one point nine, and then we've got 980 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 22: the latest review suggesting it's going to be approaching three 981 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 22: billion dollars, which would be without doubt the most expensive 982 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 22: hospital in the history of the Southern Hemisphere. 983 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 13: So the challenge we've got. 984 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 22: Is that we are very committed to building a new 985 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 22: hospital and then don't get me wrong, but we've got 986 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 22: to do it within the one point nine billion. 987 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:27,800 Speaker 13: Dollar fiscal envelope. 988 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,240 Speaker 22: Otherwise that means that we can't do from Taurong, you know, Palmerstan, 989 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 22: North Nelson, other regional hospitals we were going to have 990 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 22: to deal with. 991 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 3: Problem is it the election? You guys had a crack 992 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 3: at the Labor Party for dicking around on this and 993 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 3: you yeah. 994 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 13: Well it took six years and did nothing right. 995 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 3: So I mean, aren't you in the same position. 996 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 22: Well, we're taking advice really quickly on the two options 997 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 22: that we've got, which is essentially stage at the old 998 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 22: site or scale back at the new site. 999 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 13: But we will deliver a new hospital, but we have 1000 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 13: to do it. 1001 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 22: Within the one point nine billion And what we've seen 1002 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 22: is cost creep and you know scope creep from a 1003 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 22: Labour government where it's been or whether it's been school 1004 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 22: buildings and now the hospital. 1005 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 3: How much smaller is it going to be. That'll be 1006 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 3: up to. 1007 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 22: The advice that we can see. You know, Like as 1008 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 22: I said, Shane Ready and Chris Bishop are all over it. 1009 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 22: They've asked for urgent advice on the two options. As 1010 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 22: I said, whether it's staged or whether it's scale back, 1011 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 22: we have to make those choices. 1012 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 3: See the difficulty I think you guys have got is 1013 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 3: that you are making some choices about what to spend 1014 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 3: money on. And it's all kinds of other stuff. It's roads, 1015 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 3: it's tobacco, tax cards, it's stuff for landlords. And when 1016 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 3: it comes to something that Key Wes fundamentally care about, which. 1017 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 13: Is disagree, I disagree. 1018 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 22: And we put almost thirty billion dollars a year into health. 1019 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 22: We put sixteen or seventeen billion dollars extra in the 1020 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 22: most spent ever going into OL. So there's plenty of 1021 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 22: money in health. We're not managing infrastructure projects across the country, 1022 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 22: whether it's hospitals, whether it's schools, whether it's fairies well 1023 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 22: at all. That's been a legacy. We've got to get 1024 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 22: better at that, and we've got to manage the capital 1025 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,879 Speaker 22: spending that we've got. So I'm to say there's plenty 1026 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 22: of money going in We've got, there's. 1027 00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 3: Plenty of money, more money going but yet you can 1028 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 3: find two billion bucks for a road in Wellington. 1029 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 22: Well, we've got a lot to do in terms of 1030 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 22: building out that infrastructure. 1031 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 13: Hospital infrastructures are part of that. 1032 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 22: We've also got good money coming in, but you just 1033 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 22: can't have a project go from one point two billion 1034 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 22: when it started. It would have been good if it 1035 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,479 Speaker 22: had actually been built in the last six years, would 1036 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,240 Speaker 22: have been cheaper than what it would have been now. 1037 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,760 Speaker 22: But you can't have it heading out to three billion dollars. 1038 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 22: And you know, even at one point nine I'll bet 1039 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 22: one of the most successive hospitals. 1040 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 3: Are you sure the contract is not taking the mickey here? 1041 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 22: Well, that's what the review will identify, right, it's just 1042 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 22: what options have we got? 1043 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 3: Are you looking into that specific? 1044 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 22: We're looking into all of that. And there's bigger questions 1045 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 22: I think fundamentally around how we deliver infrastructure in government. 1046 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 22: You know, do we think the Ministry of Education is 1047 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 22: the best place to make decisions about school buildings? We 1048 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 22: had four hundred and fifty school projects from memory that 1049 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 22: were underfunded to the tune of a couple of billion dollars. 1050 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 3: And what are you talking about, like a Ministry of 1051 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 3: Works or something. 1052 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,400 Speaker 22: Well, just you know, is there a different way of 1053 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 22: actually managing instruct where you got real competency, real expertise, 1054 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,760 Speaker 22: because in fairness, you know, running a health system, running 1055 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 22: an each caation system is often different from managing infrastructure 1056 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 22: and asset management. 1057 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,280 Speaker 3: Do you see treasuries warning last week? 1058 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1059 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 13: I did, Yeah, I did. 1060 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 3: Okay, how are you going to get us out of 1061 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 3: the structural deficit? 1062 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 22: Well, I just say, we have to get out of 1063 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 22: the structural deficit. We've been on a massive binge and 1064 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 22: we have to have a little bit of a diet 1065 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 22: to get the box back in order because at the 1066 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 22: moment we're actually borrowing more than we're spending. 1067 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 3: You know, well, how are you going to do it? 1068 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 22: And we're spending more than we're getting in. So we've 1069 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 22: got to get back to financial discipline, which is why 1070 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 22: we just had the chat on the Denetan hospital because yeah, 1071 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 22: you say, right, let the one point one billion go through, 1072 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 22: but it's one point one billion there, it's two billion 1073 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 22: on ferries, it's two billion on skill buildings. We've got 1074 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 22: to have some financial discipline around that. We've got to 1075 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:39,760 Speaker 22: make sure that we then. 1076 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,360 Speaker 13: Set up for growth. That's what we're focused. 1077 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,720 Speaker 22: On right now, because we've got spending sort of getting 1078 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 22: gripped up. 1079 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 13: We'll continue to do that daily practice. That's hard work 1080 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 13: going forward. 1081 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,359 Speaker 22: We know we've got some limited allowances, but we've got 1082 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 22: to question the spends that we've already got going on 1083 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,839 Speaker 22: and make sure they're getting returns. We've got inflation coming down, 1084 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 22: we've got interest rates coming down, we've got business confidence rising. 1085 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 22: But we need to see you know, the economy grow. 1086 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 3: But you're gonna have to cut as well, aren't you. 1087 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 3: And I mean Dominic Stevens was saying last week that 1088 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 3: the level of cuts that you will have to do 1089 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 3: are unprecedented in New Zealand history. 1090 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,760 Speaker 22: Yeah, but possible. We can do a lot more with less, 1091 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 22: you know. And as we've seen, there's been a lot 1092 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,240 Speaker 22: of dumb and wasteful spending go on across the system 1093 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,959 Speaker 22: for a number of for the last six years. 1094 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 3: Are we going to get another of all budgets type scenario? Potentially? 1095 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 22: So you've seen our approach, which is that you know, 1096 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 22: we know we've got to deliver a surplus. We know 1097 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 22: it'll be ten years I think by the time we 1098 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 22: get it back into books, and we know we've got 1099 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 22: to get the books in order. You cannot, whether you're 1100 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,839 Speaker 22: a family or ten years from now, no, ten years. 1101 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 22: It'll be ten years that we would have had a 1102 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 22: deficit before we get there. But you know, we're doing 1103 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,239 Speaker 22: it in a really sensible, balanced kind of way, and 1104 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 22: so we're not throwing the country into hard austerity. What 1105 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,279 Speaker 22: we're doing as balancing as you've seen, tax relief for 1106 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 22: lower middle income workers. Yes, reprioritize twenty three billion of 1107 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 22: savings within government spending. 1108 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 13: Get it out of the bureaucracy, get it. 1109 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 22: To the frontline services. So we're working through in a 1110 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 22: very balanced, sort of considered kind of way. But the point, 1111 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,879 Speaker 22: if you're a family with a budget, you can't keep 1112 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,960 Speaker 22: spending more than you earn. If you're a business, you 1113 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 22: can't do the same. And government's having to do the 1114 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 22: same thing. 1115 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 3: Hey, are you surprised by the level of resistance to 1116 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 3: sending the public servants back to work? 1117 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,919 Speaker 13: Well, no, not really, but you were expecting this, Yeah, yeah, 1118 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 13: I mean I get it. 1119 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 22: People may not like it, but the point is that's 1120 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,240 Speaker 22: what's going to happen. We want people back in the office. 1121 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 22: We want a very effective public service. We want it 1122 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 22: firing on all cylinders, whether you lead large corporates or 1123 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 22: whether you lead large government employees. The reality is you 1124 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,240 Speaker 22: can maintain a culture for a period of time virtually, 1125 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 22: but you need people in the office. 1126 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 3: When are you going to give me my minimum days? 1127 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 3: They have to be back. 1128 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,879 Speaker 22: This's what I want, Well, we want the starting point 1129 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 22: needs to be you're in the office, and then if 1130 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 22: you have formal arrangements that's formally agreed. 1131 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 13: It's not an entitle So are you. 1132 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 3: Saying to me right now, it's five days in the 1133 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,840 Speaker 3: office unless you've got some permission not to be there. Yep, correct, 1134 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,120 Speaker 3: So it's a minimum of five. 1135 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 22: Well, it's a starting you know, we want everyone in 1136 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 22: the office. That's the startup. It's not an entitlement that 1137 00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 22: you just get to work from home. 1138 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:00,839 Speaker 4: This is great, Chris. 1139 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 3: Why didn't you just say this on the day five 1140 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:03,240 Speaker 3: days in the office? 1141 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 22: There you go, Well, no, we said, we said we 1142 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 22: want people in the office, and if you want to 1143 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,880 Speaker 22: make alternative arrangements, you've got to do that in a 1144 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 22: formal way. But the point we're trying to make here 1145 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 22: is that we want, you know, the public service. We've 1146 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 22: got some great public servants, but we've got a lot 1147 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 22: that we've got to get sorted. 1148 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:18,360 Speaker 13: In this country. 1149 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 22: And therefore, if that you know, and here's the research 1150 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,280 Speaker 22: I mean, and the evidence I've seen is that young people, 1151 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 22: for example, who are working from home are not getting 1152 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,840 Speaker 22: coaching or feedback or development opportunities as a result. 1153 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:30,280 Speaker 13: When you go look at career. 1154 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 22: Progression of those that work in the office versus those 1155 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 22: that work from home, you know, there's all those sort 1156 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 22: of benefits. Better communication. A lot of the problems we've 1157 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,280 Speaker 22: got our cross ministries. You know, we're dealing with people 1158 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 22: who are stuck in emergency housing, but school attendance issues 1159 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,719 Speaker 22: with you know that that's the same cohort. We need 1160 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,839 Speaker 22: a cross government response to those sorts of issues. So 1161 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 22: I'm just saying, look, you've got to come back to 1162 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 22: the office. That's where we are. That's not inconsistent with 1163 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 22: what other governments and leaders doing. And let's get into it. 1164 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 3: You moved into Premier House yet done on the weekend. Hold, well, 1165 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 3: god be honest, I mean it's drafty and ancient. 1166 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 22: Well it's we finally managed to get new paint, new 1167 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 22: curtains and new carpet. 1168 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,800 Speaker 13: That's what the work has been over the last six. 1169 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 22: Months in part of the house, which is it was 1170 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 22: last time when Jim Bolger was there in nineteen ninety. Yes, 1171 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 22: so the carpet had been stretched I think seven times, 1172 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 22: pretty third thread beer. But we managed to get that approved, 1173 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,399 Speaker 22: to get that spin. 1174 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 3: And are you cold? 1175 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,359 Speaker 13: I've got a nice jumper. It's all good. 1176 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 3: Are you cranking the heat all night? 1177 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 22: I've got a good jumper, you know, Jesus, it's good. 1178 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 3: It's get some silicon around those windows. I had a 1179 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 3: bit of a working. 1180 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 22: Bee on the weekend and sot of got some of 1181 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 22: the tools out and carry on. 1182 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 13: Sort of things things out. 1183 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,360 Speaker 22: But look, it's it's a privileged to be Prominis of 1184 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 22: New Zealand and it's a privilege to live in I. 1185 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 3: Love that you're putting a positive spin on this. It 1186 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 3: is so utterly transparent what you're doing right now. How 1187 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 3: do you feel about the fact that we're obsessed with 1188 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 3: how much money you've made on your regal property. 1189 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 22: In Yeah, Look, I mean I don't know how to 1190 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 22: explain it any other way, which is you know, I came. 1191 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 13: To politics four years ago. 1192 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 22: I bought an apartment in October twenty twenty when the 1193 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 22: election was twenty twenty. I then became Prime Minister. I 1194 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 22: was normally my promises would sell their apartment move into 1195 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 22: premier house. I couldn't because there was basic maintenance needs 1196 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 22: to be done, as I said, paint, curtain's carpet some 1197 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 22: of it, and that's been done. Now I'm moving in 1198 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 22: and I don't need the apartment, so I'm selling it. 1199 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 22: So that's what John Key did when he became Prime Minister. 1200 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 3: I feel about the fact that it was all over 1201 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:31,960 Speaker 3: the TV news last night. I haven't met well. 1202 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 22: I've come to expect that, you know, which is is 1203 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,440 Speaker 22: a bit what I can't well, I can't. I mean 1204 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 22: the bottom lines I said right from the beginning of 1205 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 22: my first day in politics. You know, yep, I'm a 1206 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 22: kid who's parents at school sixteen, I went to university, 1207 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,920 Speaker 22: did well in the world, successful, get it right, and 1208 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 22: I've chosen to come to politics because I want to 1209 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 22: add back to New Zealand. So that's my reason for it. 1210 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 22: But if we're going to criticize people for being successful, 1211 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,120 Speaker 22: and you know, let's be clear, you know, I'm wealthy, 1212 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:57,280 Speaker 22: I'm sorted. 1213 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 3: Have you seen what just Cinda's doing? Chris, after this, 1214 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 3: you can you ca on the speaking circuit. No, Look, 1215 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 3: you can make as much in one gig speaking as 1216 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 3: you do on your property like. 1217 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 13: That won't be my focus. There's a lot of other 1218 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,319 Speaker 13: things to do politics. 1219 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,880 Speaker 22: But right now I am absolutely determined. We have a 1220 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 22: great future. We've got a great potential on this joint. 1221 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 22: Now we just got to get it rid. 1222 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 3: We've got a structural deficit to fix. 1223 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:16,799 Speaker 17: First. 1224 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 3: Hey, Chris, thank you very much, really appreciate your time. 1225 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,800 Speaker 3: That's Chris lux and the Prime Minister. It's thirteen away from. 1226 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:26,120 Speaker 1: It the My Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1227 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 1228 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 3: A'd be ten to eight morning here. Can you ask 1229 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,839 Speaker 3: the Prime Minister if you put wall carpet? And we did, 1230 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,759 Speaker 3: Actually we did it afterwards and can confirm it was 1231 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,839 Speaker 3: wall carpet. So there you go. Nothing to be ashamed about. 1232 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 19: There. 1233 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 3: He's gone flashesn't he. They're probably a story on one 1234 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,800 Speaker 3: News about how much money they spends on the carpet. 1235 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,120 Speaker 3: Either what's more important, hospitals or tax relief for landlord 1236 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,239 Speaker 3: ffs Now listen, I'm on that subject and this is 1237 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 3: what I was trying to get to with Chris Luxen. 1238 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 3: The media are still going hard on Casey Costello, one 1239 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 3: of the ministers, for giving tax breaks to tobacco companies, 1240 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,280 Speaker 3: and basically the tax break for this thing's called heated 1241 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,239 Speaker 3: tobacco products, which is try just another way. It's like 1242 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 3: an alternative to vaping. To get the people off the cities. 1243 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,480 Speaker 3: And she gave a fifty percent tax break to this 1244 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,759 Speaker 3: particular product. There is only one company that has this 1245 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 3: product in the country, it is Philip Morris. So they 1246 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 3: got a tax break of pretty much two hundred and 1247 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,279 Speaker 3: sixteen million dollars. There's your problem with decisions that you're making, right, 1248 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 3: So you haven't got enough money for hospital, but you've 1249 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 3: got enough money for that and landlords and so on, 1250 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,399 Speaker 3: and people don't like the look of that. Hither. I'm 1251 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 3: a building contractor in Duned, and I understand the reasoning 1252 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 3: behind the government putting a hold on the hospital, but 1253 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 3: surely the responsibility actually sits back on the designers. We 1254 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 3: deal with the stuff all the time. They have no 1255 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 3: ability to design within a budget, and it becomes an 1256 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,399 Speaker 3: ego trip to create a landmark. Make the designers responsible, 1257 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 3: and on the public servants. Heather. Since two thousand, the 1258 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 3: population has increased from four to five million, but the 1259 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 3: public servants have doubled return to that level and we 1260 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 3: will be fine on that. Some good news for you. 1261 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,400 Speaker 3: Some public servants are so unhappy about being sent back 1262 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 3: to the office that they are in fact threatening to quit, 1263 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,800 Speaker 3: in which case we may well find that there is 1264 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,360 Speaker 3: a level of attrition that just happens all by itself. 1265 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:04,280 Speaker 3: He's away from. 1266 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,920 Speaker 1: Mate, Heather duz Ellen on them My costing Breakfast with 1267 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,600 Speaker 1: the Jaguar f Base News talks edb. 1268 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 3: Five away from it. I said, I was going to 1269 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 3: get to what John Key has said about the US election. 1270 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 3: So he did an interview with stuff and said before 1271 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 3: Biden pulled out, he was about ninety eight percent sure 1272 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 3: that Trump would win. But now Kamala Harris has dramatically 1273 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 3: changed the game. So what's his pick. 1274 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 4: I think it's fifty five forty five. 1275 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,840 Speaker 23: He wins it. It's not straightforward because it is so 1276 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,240 Speaker 23: hard like all of those swing states seem to be 1277 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 23: in the margin. Nevera, we've still got quite a lot 1278 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,640 Speaker 23: of days to go. But nevertheless, anyway, I think it'll 1279 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 23: it'll be too close to. 1280 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 4: Call for quite a while. 1281 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,280 Speaker 23: But if Donald Trump can wrestle the debate back onto 1282 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 23: the economy, I think he wins. I think if it's 1283 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 23: on all these other issues he potentially loses, but I've 1284 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 23: still got them. I've still got him ahead in my 1285 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:54,000 Speaker 23: in my brain. 1286 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting that he's still got Trump ahead. On the economy, 1287 00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 3: I think he's bang on, and I've got some information. 1288 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 3: There's a pole a policy thing that's been done, a 1289 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 3: poll on Karmala's economic policy, and I'll run you through 1290 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 3: in the next hour. But then the question, of course is, yeah, okay, 1291 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 3: he might win, but should he win, who's better for 1292 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:10,640 Speaker 3: New Zealand. 1293 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 23: I think he's better for the economy. But the only 1294 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,240 Speaker 23: thing I'd say is that, you know, I spent a 1295 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 23: lot of time with Barack Obama obviously to try and 1296 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 23: get TPP across the line than we did. And the 1297 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 23: very first thing that Donald Trump did was rip up 1298 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 23: the free trade agreement between New. 1299 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,680 Speaker 14: Zealand and basically America. 1300 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 23: So from that perspective, you know, I don't know how 1301 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 23: great you know, necessarily that is Donald Trump is driving 1302 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 23: very much in America first in America, more isolationist kind 1303 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:37,720 Speaker 23: of view. 1304 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 4: Actually it's quite different. 1305 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 23: Actually, it's a very different foreign policy than we've ever seen. 1306 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 23: So that probably doesn't help New Zealand as much. But 1307 00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 23: on balance, I think he's probably better for the economy. 1308 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's slightly better for the economy. But they're 1309 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 3: probably both as bad as each other because neither of 1310 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 3: them are, you know, Like I don't know. It's hardly 1311 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 3: as if Karmla's going to get in there and be 1312 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,560 Speaker 3: like free trade. Let's go for it, guys. Anyway, I 1313 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 3: will run you through the Karmala how I pol you 1314 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,800 Speaker 3: might be interested in that.

There's just it's 1344 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 18: crazy and at times evil industry, and there's there's a 1345 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 18: lot of pitfalls, and you know, I made some gambles 1346 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 18: in my career which ended up backfiring sort of behind 1347 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 18: the scenes, and yeah, it just it just became an 1348 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 18: environment for me that it was too challenging to try 1349 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,400 Speaker 18: and overcome the ceilings that have put been put in place. 1350 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 18: By people that were either on my team or formally 1351 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 18: on my team in the industry and politics and all 1352 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,959 Speaker 18: of that. And I've just I've got this music coming 1353 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,000 Speaker 18: out and now that I believe as my most complete, 1354 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 18: most mature, advanced work as a songwriter and an artist, 1355 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 18: and coupled with the fact that this industry had sort of, 1356 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,640 Speaker 18: you know, turned against me in a lot of ways, 1357 01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,360 Speaker 18: I just thought, you know, I'm sick of this and 1358 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,680 Speaker 18: I just want to hang my hat on something that 1359 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 18: I can look back on in twenty years time and 1360 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 18: go like, this is my finest work and something that 1361 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 18: I can be very proud of. And so it's a 1362 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 18: bit of sweet feeling because you know, in a lot 1363 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:38,800 Speaker 18: of ways, I did feel like I had a lot 1364 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 18: more to give, but like I said, you know, I 1365 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 18: was finding myself budding into a lot of ceilings that 1366 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,160 Speaker 18: have been put in place that we're out of my control, 1367 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,920 Speaker 18: and I just, yeah, I kind of had enough, I. 1368 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,160 Speaker 3: Guess going out on a high type thing exactly. 1369 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 18: Yeah. And you know, I've been so grateful to the 1370 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 18: people who have supported me and you know, given me 1371 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,480 Speaker 18: such amazing experience as touring the world and you know, 1372 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 18: listening to my music, making memories with their friends and 1373 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 18: all of this. It's been so special that I just 1374 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 18: wanted to end on a somewhat positive note. 1375 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:10,440 Speaker 3: What do you think backfired for you? 1376 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 18: There was definitely a few things that I look at 1377 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 18: behind the scenes where to put it very in a 1378 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 18: long story short where I had shot for the stars 1379 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,800 Speaker 18: and and and in a lot of ways that passed 1380 01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,680 Speaker 18: off a lot of people who were already on my team. 1381 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 18: And then you know, a few things backfired behind the scenes, 1382 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 18: and it resulted in a lot of burnt bridges, if 1383 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:41,760 Speaker 18: you will. And then you know, I sort of found myself. 1384 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 18: It was very challenging to then break through that ceiling 1385 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 18: because it's it's such a network game music and once, yeah, 1386 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:53,240 Speaker 18: once that network has sort of been de established in 1387 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,040 Speaker 18: a few ways that were I became the problematic person 1388 01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 18: to work with, even though in my eyes a lot 1389 01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,040 Speaker 18: of this was you know, I just wanted to bring 1390 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 18: New Zealand on my back on the world stage. And yeah, 1391 01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,480 Speaker 18: a lot of people back in New Zealand didn't appreciate that. 1392 01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,200 Speaker 3: What are you going to do? I can't reveal all 1393 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 3: yet hither you've already got plans? 1394 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 18: Yeah, I've got plans. I guess what I can say 1395 01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 18: is that it's something in the media space and in 1396 01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,160 Speaker 18: the sports space that I've been working. 1397 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,800 Speaker 3: It's got anything to do with the league slightly. 1398 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:25,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1399 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,680 Speaker 3: I mean the giveaway was the fact that you posted 1400 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 3: that on Insta that you were going to leave in 1401 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,120 Speaker 3: the year to one New Zealand Warriors jersey on them. 1402 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1403 01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 18: Yeah, Well, I mean, anyone that knows me knows that 1404 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 18: I'm probably in the in the top three New Zealand 1405 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:45,480 Speaker 18: Warriors fans worldwide behind you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, most of 1406 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 18: my cost ging, he knows, but we Yeah, I'm probably 1407 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:54,200 Speaker 18: number three behind Sir Peter Leach and the Mount Smart 1408 01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:58,400 Speaker 18: Joker as the as the Warriors mascot fans. But yeah, 1409 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 18: it's it's something in the sports space that I've arguably 1410 01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 18: wanted to be in that space longer than music, and 1411 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 18: it's something that no one can take away from me, 1412 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 18: if you know what I mean. Kind of like I 1413 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,120 Speaker 18: felt like what happened in music, and yeah, I felt 1414 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 18: like I just had so much more to give in music, 1415 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 18: but I was just you know, budding the ceiling and 1416 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 18: it was very frustrating, and you know, I was no 1417 01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 18: longer getting playlisted or I was no longer you know, 1418 01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,919 Speaker 18: getting getting the same love. I mean, New Zealand radio 1419 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,680 Speaker 18: has been amazing to me, but every other sort of 1420 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 18: aspect of that recording industry sort of sort of turned 1421 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,440 Speaker 18: on me. So I'm looking at this space and going, 1422 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 18: this is something that only I can ruin for myself. 1423 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 18: So it's it's an exciting time for me. And yeah, 1424 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,120 Speaker 18: I guess the Warriors is something part of it, but 1425 01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 18: it's Yeah, it's a more broad sort of thing that 1426 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 18: I'm I'm really excited about and to announce in due 1427 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 18: time and hopefully get people excited about. 1428 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 3: I suppose it's not going to be a bad thing 1429 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,960 Speaker 3: to have a steady income, is it. Yeah, yeah, that's 1430 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 3: the thing about me, given given how much you end 1431 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 3: on your perfumes, I found out, Ah, yes, yes, what 1432 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,600 Speaker 3: are you wearing today? I'm raring crewed a role for 1433 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 3: Heather and I can see that that retails at Smith 1434 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:09,760 Speaker 3: and Coey's for five hundred and twenty two. 1435 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 18: See, everyone listening might think hearing that that I'm some 1436 01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,520 Speaker 18: super rich musician leaving out on top, but I actually 1437 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 18: probably spent four years worth of income on that on 1438 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 18: that perfew. 1439 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 3: It does smell good. This is why we know about it, 1440 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 3: because you basically bring the scent in with its delicious Hey, 1441 01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:28,920 Speaker 3: I was I was telling you earlier. I was watching 1442 01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:32,480 Speaker 3: the video that you did for your mum.

They live in central Otago, and 1449 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 18: so I got mum to come down to Dunedin and 1450 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:56,000 Speaker 18: the Duned and Symphony Orchestra.

Apparently, Mitch's mum, Viv organizes the Drive 1530 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 3: for Life at Hampton Down's racetrack for those in payloadive care. 1531 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:07,840 Speaker 16: So there you go. 1532 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:11,120 Speaker 3: Something interesting you didn't know before. Now I was going 1533 01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,479 Speaker 3: to tell you about Karmala Harris. She's talking about switching 1534 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,000 Speaker 3: tack from the music industry to Karmala Harris. But it 1535 01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:17,840 Speaker 3: is going back to what we were talking about before 1536 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 3: Karmala Harris's economic policy. Now John Key was kind of 1537 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,040 Speaker 3: touched on something. This is one of Karmala Harris's biggest 1538 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:29,640 Speaker 3: problems is that she's unconvincing on the economy. But The 1539 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:33,920 Speaker 3: Guardian is running an exclusive today that indicates that Karmala 1540 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 3: Harris's economic policies are actually more popular than Donald Trump's 1541 01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 3: in a blind test, and I think that's the important 1542 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,479 Speaker 3: bit and we'll come back to it. So basically, what 1543 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 3: they did so I got a whole bunch of Americans 1544 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,640 Speaker 3: into a room or whatever, gave them twelve policy proposals. 1545 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 3: Six were from Harris's campaign, six were from Trump's, all 1546 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,880 Speaker 3: of them on the economy, and they're all anonymised. So 1547 01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,640 Speaker 3: the people who were part of this participating in the 1548 01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:01,040 Speaker 3: study didn't know whose policies were. I mean, frankly, you 1549 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 3: could probably guess if you had to look at it 1550 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,640 Speaker 3: hard enough, but anyway, they didn't know it was anonymised. 1551 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 3: The most popular proposal was a federal ban on price 1552 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,800 Speaker 3: gouging of food and groceries. Forty four percent of people 1553 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 3: like that. That's a Harris policy. Then number two was 1554 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,120 Speaker 3: Trump's policy of eliminating taxes on social Security benefits forty 1555 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:22,679 Speaker 3: two percent of people like that. But that's the only 1556 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 3: one that to Trump gets into the top five. Remaining 1557 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 3: three are all Harris ones expanding the child tax credit 1558 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 3: for middle and low income families forty three percent like it, 1559 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,479 Speaker 3: tax breaks for new small businesses forty three percent like it, 1560 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,559 Speaker 3: and then also increasing the tax rate on long term 1561 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 3: capital gains for those earning over a million dollars. What 1562 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:42,880 Speaker 3: did I say, if you look hard enough, you could 1563 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,320 Speaker 3: pick who it came from. So for twenty nine percent 1564 01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,120 Speaker 3: of people like that, So she gets it's not that 1565 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,840 Speaker 3: popular to make the top five anyway. Point is only 1566 01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:56,160 Speaker 3: works in a blind test, right, because you can't. You 1567 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,080 Speaker 3: just can't take it out of the mix that people 1568 01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:01,680 Speaker 3: seem to trust the more on the economy and not 1569 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,600 Speaker 3: trust the left as much on the economy. So the 1570 01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,080 Speaker 3: minute you put Karmela's name back in there, unfortunately it 1571 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:10,280 Speaker 3: probably falls away again. Whether she can actually sustain the 1572 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 3: interest in her and the kind of confidence in her 1573 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:13,880 Speaker 3: tax policies, I doubt very much. 1574 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,720 Speaker 24: It probably doesn't have that. The first time she brought 1575 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:19,000 Speaker 24: up the price gouging, she pronounced it gauging as well, which. 1576 01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 3: Shows an Internet. Yeah, intimate level of understanding on that 1577 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,600 Speaker 3: actually price gouging, price gauging, who knows, I don't really know. 1578 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:28,920 Speaker 3: I got I got to study for you. I got 1579 01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,960 Speaker 3: to That's that didn't feel like enough of a BS 1580 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,600 Speaker 3: study to verbakic decisions or another BS study for you 1581 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 3: later on. This one's on EUVS. Here's a question. I'll 1582 01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:41,280 Speaker 3: ask you this now. Are you more likely to date 1583 01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 3: someone because they drive an electric vehicle? 1584 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:45,280 Speaker 18: Yeah? 1585 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,000 Speaker 3: Now, I'll give you a taste of what's coming next. 1586 01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,160 Speaker 3: But the news next news talks it'd be and then 1587 01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,000 Speaker 3: Rod Liddle in the UK for us. 1588 01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,280 Speaker 6: So much. 1589 01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:11,600 Speaker 4: Whole cannuty take the pieces in dark as. 1590 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 1: Big news fold opinions Heather due to see Allen on 1591 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:20,360 Speaker 1: the Mic Hosking Breakfast with the Jaguar f pace cut 1592 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:21,479 Speaker 1: from a different cloth. 1593 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 4: News togs eDV listen. 1594 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,400 Speaker 3: News that's just dropped into our inboxes is that the 1595 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 3: Commerce Commission has declined clearance for the proposed food Stuff's merger. 1596 01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,120 Speaker 3: You'll be aware of this right. This is food Stuff's 1597 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,400 Speaker 3: North Island food Stuff South Island asking for permission to 1598 01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 3: be able to just create one big food Stuffs and 1599 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 3: their argument from food Stuff's perspective was that back off 1600 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,080 Speaker 3: of stuff would be able to be coordinated, right, and 1601 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,719 Speaker 3: so you'd cut down a lot of costs there, therefore 1602 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,160 Speaker 3: making groceries cheaper for everybody, because if they're not having 1603 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,080 Speaker 3: to funnel all that money into you know, pricing and 1604 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 3: people and all that kind of carry on and buying, 1605 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,760 Speaker 3: you know, like all that admin stuff, then they could 1606 01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 3: charge you less. But the Commerce Commission says they're not 1607 01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,240 Speaker 3: satisfied that the proposed merger would have the effect of 1608 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,920 Speaker 3: substantially lessening competition in multiple acquisition and retail markets. They 1609 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,599 Speaker 3: say they're worried the proposed merger would reduce the number 1610 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,639 Speaker 3: of major buyers of grocery products in this country from 1611 01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 3: three to two, which essentially, which would be what it 1612 01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 3: is at the moment. You've got food Stuffs northund food 1613 01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,479 Speaker 3: Stuff South, Ould and Woollies, and now you just have 1614 01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 3: one food Stuffs and one Woolies, which would mean that 1615 01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,840 Speaker 3: the number of buyers for many suppliers to supply their 1616 01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 3: products too would go down. The merged entity would likely 1617 01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 3: be able to extract lower prices from suppliers supplies already 1618 01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,439 Speaker 3: stretched enough at the moment, squeezed by these guys. The 1619 01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 3: proposed merger increases the risk of coordination between the merged 1620 01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 3: entity and Woolworths, and they're worried it could make price 1621 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,759 Speaker 3: coordination between the merged entity and Woolworth's more likely complete 1622 01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,880 Speaker 3: or sustainable. Absolutely will be devastating news to food stuff 1623 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:48,519 Speaker 3: because they've put a lot of time and effort into 1624 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:50,560 Speaker 3: this and I'm sure that Drive this afternoon will be 1625 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,280 Speaker 3: all over this for you and bring you the latest 1626 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:53,759 Speaker 3: on It's twenty one away from. 1627 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:57,960 Speaker 8: Nine International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 1628 01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,559 Speaker 8: mind for New Zealand business and whether. 1629 01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 3: There was Rod Little UK correspondent, A Rod, how are 1630 01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,360 Speaker 3: you doing for that? 1631 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:06,479 Speaker 7: How are you very well? 1632 01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:06,639 Speaker 18: Thank? 1633 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:06,840 Speaker 11: You know? 1634 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:08,840 Speaker 3: What's the letters with the Tory leadership right? How are 1635 01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:09,280 Speaker 3: we tracking? 1636 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,599 Speaker 7: Four left in it? And it's been the Tory conference 1637 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,240 Speaker 7: this week so they've had the chance to address the 1638 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:21,680 Speaker 7: faithful Conservative Party members and today it was Tom Tuganhat 1639 01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:25,000 Speaker 7: who is reckoned to be one of the outsiders, I 1640 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,760 Speaker 7: guess of the four remaining, and Kemmy Badanock, who is 1641 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:32,479 Speaker 7: one of the favorites. The general thinking is that this 1642 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:37,559 Speaker 7: would come down to a final between Kemmy Badanock from 1643 01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:42,000 Speaker 7: the right, and Robert Jenerick or Robert Generick as his 1644 01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,880 Speaker 7: enemies call him, who is from the kind of center left. 1645 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 7: But it's looking more and more now as if the 1646 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 7: Conservative MPs will try to get rid of Badanock before 1647 01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,280 Speaker 7: it even gets to a final, because if he did 1648 01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,320 Speaker 7: get to a final, Kerry Badanough would on the votes 1649 01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 7: of the members of the party rather than just the MPs. 1650 01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:11,160 Speaker 7: So these days people are reckoning. You know, probably Robert Jenrick, 1651 01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 7: probably James Cleverly will be the two in the final. 1652 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:16,439 Speaker 7: We'll see how much. 1653 01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,679 Speaker 3: Damage do you think Benlocke's maternity leave comments have done 1654 01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:19,960 Speaker 3: to her? 1655 01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 7: It will have done a bit, no question about that, 1656 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:31,280 Speaker 7: because Bado have quite a constituency amongst amongst women Tory 1657 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:36,439 Speaker 7: activists and indeed some female Tory MPs, and that won't 1658 01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:40,760 Speaker 7: have helped her one little bit. But in fairness to her, 1659 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,519 Speaker 7: it does put a It is bang on the sort 1660 01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,280 Speaker 7: of thing she would say and would think. You know, 1661 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,479 Speaker 7: if bad A not a hold of the Conservative Party, 1662 01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,160 Speaker 7: you would kind of be looking at the Tories as 1663 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:58,280 Speaker 7: being one of those European hard to right parties, the 1664 01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,880 Speaker 7: kind of party which is just really Astra, which is 1665 01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 7: doing very well in Germany, which has the government in Italy. 1666 01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,599 Speaker 7: You know, that's the kind of model that bad Enough 1667 01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:09,960 Speaker 7: is looking at. The rest of them are far more 1668 01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,200 Speaker 7: like you know, European Christian Democrats. 1669 01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:14,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, I see. James Cleverly has come out as the 1670 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 3: favorite for the Tory leadership amongst the British public. Why 1671 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:18,600 Speaker 3: would that be? 1672 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:24,320 Speaker 7: I don't know his he seems to bear his name, 1673 01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:29,559 Speaker 7: seems to be a flagrant uh rewriting of the trade 1674 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:34,960 Speaker 7: descriptive descriptions. Actually is not not not not the sharpest 1675 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:39,160 Speaker 7: tool in the book a box. He's not bad Cleverly. 1676 01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:43,920 Speaker 7: He's quite personable, and he did quite well for a 1677 01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:47,439 Speaker 7: while as a as a as a defense minister, and 1678 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:51,080 Speaker 7: was quite liked for that. But you know that there 1679 01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 7: doesn't seem to be anything new that Cleverly would bring 1680 01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:56,680 Speaker 7: to the role in the way that a liberal such 1681 01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,800 Speaker 7: as Tom Tugan outward or someone from the right key 1682 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 7: an awkward. I think if it got to a final 1683 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 7: between Cleverly and Robert Schenerick, as everyone calls him, then 1684 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:14,599 Speaker 7: I think the odds are that James Cluby will probably went. 1685 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,400 Speaker 3: Isn't this this is this is the age old thing 1686 01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:19,880 Speaker 3: that faces a political party like this, Do you appeal 1687 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,760 Speaker 3: to your voting base with somebody like Kimmy Bednocke, or 1688 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:27,839 Speaker 3: do you appeal to the wider public with somebody like Yeah. 1689 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,040 Speaker 7: No nobody. That's exactly it. And of course the Tories 1690 01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:35,679 Speaker 7: have this extraordinarily complex mechanism for choosing their leader, which 1691 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,800 Speaker 7: ensures that whoever they talk is the worst possible one 1692 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:45,160 Speaker 7: for the voters. It's always been like that. There's labyridine, 1693 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 7: series of knockout steps, and then it comes down to 1694 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 7: the activist deciding in the end. I mean, you're quite right. 1695 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:56,559 Speaker 7: And I think it's also the case that any party 1696 01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:58,560 Speaker 7: which has been in power for a long period of 1697 01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:02,759 Speaker 7: channel and is then really unceremoniously kicked out of power, 1698 01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 7: they tend to have two or three leaders before they're 1699 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 7: anywhere near back to looking at gaining power seriously in 1700 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 7: the country. That was the case for the Tourist in 1701 01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 7: ninety seven, and it was the case for the Labor 1702 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,560 Speaker 7: Party in seventy nine. 1703 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're in a real pickle, aren't they. 1704 01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:20,360 Speaker 4: Rod. 1705 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 3: It's good to talk to you, mate, really appreciate look 1706 01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:26,320 Speaker 3: after yourself. It's Rod Little UK correspondent. We've got an 1707 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:32,479 Speaker 3: unexpected problem that's been caused by melting glaciers. Apparently Italy 1708 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 3: and Switzerland have to now redraw part of the border 1709 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,240 Speaker 3: of the Alps. This has been going on for a 1710 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,000 Speaker 3: little while now, but it seems to be stuck with Italy. 1711 01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,880 Speaker 3: So what's gone on is that part of the area 1712 01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,240 Speaker 3: affected is just beneath the matter Horn. And what's going 1713 01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 3: on is that these glaciers ridgelines have been determining where 1714 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 3: the border is. But now the glaciers are melting climate 1715 01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:55,639 Speaker 3: change obviously, and as they melt, the border essentially moves, 1716 01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 3: and you can't just have the border randomly moving way 1717 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,680 Speaker 3: into someone's country or way into the other direction, right, 1718 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:02,840 Speaker 3: So they have to redraw the border in a way 1719 01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,640 Speaker 3: that kind of suits them, that probably reflects what was 1720 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,160 Speaker 3: going on historically. So they've been talking about it for 1721 01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:11,559 Speaker 3: a few years. Last year, around about May, they had 1722 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 3: a draft agreement on where the border would sit. It's 1723 01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:17,679 Speaker 3: been just signed by Switzerland and now we're waiting for Italy. 1724 01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,200 Speaker 3: We're waiting for Italy to decide if they like the 1725 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,160 Speaker 3: way that the border has been has been drawn. Better 1726 01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,920 Speaker 3: not take too long, because the right things are going, 1727 01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:28,479 Speaker 3: they may have to redraw it again soon, and by 1728 01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:29,920 Speaker 3: the time Italy has agreed, who knows we're back. 1729 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:33,120 Speaker 24: I often getmo with this sort of thing, because you know, 1730 01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,360 Speaker 24: we don't have them, do we. We just got that 1731 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,439 Speaker 24: big ocean on the on the edge of our bits. 1732 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:42,120 Speaker 3: Right, are you complaining that we don't have border disputes. 1733 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 4: Me? 1734 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:45,000 Speaker 24: Perhaps it's not the best time to bring that up. 1735 01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, you know, it does make things 1736 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,519 Speaker 3: a little bit more interesting, and it'd be more interesting 1737 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:51,439 Speaker 3: to be talking about border disputes, I suppose, than the 1738 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 3: fact that the Prime Minister has made two hundred thousand 1739 01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:54,719 Speaker 3: and on his apartment, for example. 1740 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,240 Speaker 24: I just like the idea of being able to stand 1741 01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,719 Speaker 24: somewhere and go, oh, I'm in Switzerland, I'm in Italy, 1742 01:21:58,920 --> 01:21:59,680 Speaker 24: I'm in Switzerland. 1743 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,400 Speaker 3: We had like a true island dwell a quarter two 1744 01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:04,240 Speaker 3: the Mike. 1745 01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:08,559 Speaker 1: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News 1746 01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,120 Speaker 1: Talks at b here. 1747 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,280 Speaker 3: That there's a two we ad right there. Supermarkets make 1748 01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:15,599 Speaker 3: groceries cheaper year right Actually, speaking of which, the two 1749 01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:17,479 Speaker 3: we ads are coming back. The billboards are coming back. 1750 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 3: The guys who are behind the two E billboard acts 1751 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,840 Speaker 3: dB Breweries reckons we've got far too serious in this 1752 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,400 Speaker 3: country and they need to bring a bit of human back, 1753 01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,240 Speaker 3: And I'm all up for it. But I think, I think, 1754 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,880 Speaker 3: I think we can all agree times have changed since 1755 01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:32,720 Speaker 3: they last were doing them all but all the way 1756 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 3: back about what twenty fourteen or something like that. There's 1757 01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,240 Speaker 3: a whole lot of things off limits. So we'll see 1758 01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:38,800 Speaker 3: how they go with that, but I am looking forward 1759 01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 3: to it. Okay, here's your BS study of the day 1760 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,559 Speaker 3: that I was telling you about before. Apparently if you 1761 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 3: drive an electric vehicle, you are more likely to get dates. 1762 01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,040 Speaker 3: This is a survey that's been published by Ford and 1763 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 3: they reckon. They're trying to paint it as being credible 1764 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,519 Speaker 3: because they've got fourteen hundred motorists who participated in countries 1765 01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:01,480 Speaker 3: from New Zealand to Australia, to Saudi Arabia, to Philippines, 1766 01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:05,280 Speaker 3: to South Africa, to South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, United Arab Emirates, 1767 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 3: so you've got a whole lot in the absolutely everybody's participated. 1768 01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 3: Almost half of the respondents said they're more likely to 1769 01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:15,360 Speaker 3: date someone if they own an electric vehicle. Now, they 1770 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,320 Speaker 3: don't give reasons why but you probably jump to your 1771 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,719 Speaker 3: own conclusions here. Maybe these people, I don't know, people 1772 01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,439 Speaker 3: in Saudi Arabia are really keen on people who are 1773 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,719 Speaker 3: environmentally conscious, you know what I mean. They're like, don't 1774 01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,960 Speaker 3: like those people burning oil. I want an electric vehicle 1775 01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 3: in my house. And maybe they also, you know, care 1776 01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 3: a bit like if you're driving an electric vehicle, it 1777 01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 3: shows that you're financially frugal, you're thinking about your cash. 1778 01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:39,360 Speaker 3: On the flip side, it may show that you've got 1779 01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 3: enough money to spend on the latest gadget. Who knows 1780 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,000 Speaker 3: it could be any one of those things.

To the end, 1810 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,800 Speaker 3: eighty percent of people are worried about the maintenance costs 1811 01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:11,679 Speaker 3: attached to EV's Seventy three percent are worried about range 1812 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,160 Speaker 3: anxiety and yet apparently sixty six percent of people are 1813 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,120 Speaker 3: thinking about buying an EV so corbas on that. Don't 1814 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:18,960 Speaker 3: worry about it, just carry on as you were by 1815 01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:20,960 Speaker 3: you ute have a good time, nine away from nine. 1816 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,640 Speaker 1: Heather dupas Allen on the My Costing break lift with 1817 01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,519 Speaker 1: al Vida Retirement, Communities and News TOG. 1818 01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:31,080 Speaker 3: Said, b hither you're laughing. Nothing says that you're compensating 1819 01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:33,040 Speaker 3: for something like a city boy with a two wheel 1820 01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,680 Speaker 3: drive ute that's from Pascal. Maybe the city boy's got 1821 01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 3: lots of car the kids and he's got to check 1822 01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,000 Speaker 3: all the bikes in the back, because that would be 1823 01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 3: quite a convenient way of getting the kids around the town, 1824 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:44,200 Speaker 3: wouldn't it with the ute tray? Heather? How convenient for 1825 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 3: that car study to come out when they've got a 1826 01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:48,439 Speaker 3: glut in the inventory of EV's at Ford and they 1827 01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:50,599 Speaker 3: can't sell them fast enough, which just generally across the thing. 1828 01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 3: You're probably right about that, Heather. Electric vehicles and dating 1829 01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,639 Speaker 3: less likely, thank you, especially in Auckland. Can I tell 1830 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:57,280 Speaker 3: you what? I'll tell you what. Actually I've been thinking 1831 01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,680 Speaker 3: why I was like, why am I feeling so passionately 1832 01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:04,040 Speaker 3: about hypothetically being a married woman never dating somebody who 1833 01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:06,320 Speaker 3: drives an electric vehicle. And I think it's the too 1834 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,880 Speaker 3: much concerned thing, Like if you're that concerned about either 1835 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,719 Speaker 3: your money or your appearances all the climate, I feel 1836 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,720 Speaker 3: like you're coming with it like a preloaded amount of anxiety. 1837 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,320 Speaker 3: And I'm bringing a lot of that to the relationship already, 1838 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,439 Speaker 3: so I probably don't need that. So I think that 1839 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,120 Speaker 3: ultimately is the problem right there, Like let the ladies 1840 01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:26,160 Speaker 3: do the anxiety, Let the dudes just do the free thinking, 1841 01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:27,679 Speaker 3: do you know what I mean?

And fun fact, because I had assumed 1863 01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:49,080 Speaker 3: that Chris Christofferson was a made up name, like he'd 1864 01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 3: obviously been born something really. 1865 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,360 Speaker 4: One of the greatest, there we go. 1866 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 3: Just let Kevin sign off the end of the song. 1867 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:57,719 Speaker 3: I just assumed that he'd been born with a boring 1868 01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,640 Speaker 3: name like Dave Small or something like that, and then 1869 01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 3: they'd gone, that's dull. I'll become Chris Christofferson and sort 1870 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,120 Speaker 3: of do the like you know, repetitive thing that sometimes happens.
