1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 2: It's Heather duplicy Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: get connected us talk said. 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 3: Be Hey, good afternoon, Welcome to the show. Coming up today, 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 3: We're going to have a chat to former Reserve Bank 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 3: economist Michael Riddell on the OCR cut and the massive 7 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 3: u turn from Adrian or the Drug Foundation on how 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 3: much of a risk those meth lollies are if you 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 3: get your hands on one. And a kid has already 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 3: dropped out of the boot camp trial, So we'll speak 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 3: to the Children's Minister Karenshaw. 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: Heather duplicylos hey for cut. 13 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 3: How good is that there? Three years of rising and 14 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 3: high interest rates are now over and we are headed 15 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 3: back down again. Reserve Bank has obviously shocked us today 16 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: by actually doing the sensible thing for once and cutting 17 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 3: the official cash rate by twenty five basis points. That 18 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 3: means the OCR now sits at five point two five percent. 19 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 3: It will not be the end. It looks like we're 20 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: going to get at least, according to the Reserve Bank's projections, 21 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 3: at least another cut before the end of the year, 22 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 3: and immediately you're going to see it coming through in 23 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: your mortgage. Three banks have cut their rates already, just 24 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 3: in the last couple of hours Kiwi Bank first, then ASB, 25 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: and then A and Z. Now, the reason that we 26 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: are so surprised by this today is because this is 27 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: a massive turnaround from the Reserve Bank and from what 28 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 3: they were telling us they were going to do just 29 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 3: three months ago, I mean three months ago. They were 30 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 3: talking about the fact that the first time we are 31 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: getting a cut would be August next year. They were 32 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: even three months ago talking about potentially hiking the ocr again. 33 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 3: So obviously begs the question what happened? And let me 34 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 3: tell you, Adrian or God asked that question repeatedly in 35 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: the press conference today, and he did his level best 36 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: to pretend this isn't a massive, screeching u turn but 37 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 3: it is, obviously, and the clue to why it's happened, 38 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: even though he didn't want to say it out loud, 39 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: is basically in the documents that they released along with 40 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: the decision. The economy is incredibly stuffed. It's way more 41 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: stuffed than even he thought it was in May because 42 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: of what he is now seeing go on in the country, 43 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: business closures, an enormous fallen consumer spending, fewer trucks on 44 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 3: the road, which means less economic activity. House price is 45 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 3: going backwards again, house sales not picking up, unemployment, and 46 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: so on. They are now projecting at the Reserve Bank 47 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 3: that we are in a recession again. If that's true, 48 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 3: and it probably is, that means that's our third recession 49 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 3: in two years. Remember how Adrian All tried to engineer 50 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: a recession, Well he engineered three. By the looks of things. 51 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: What an absolutely massive price for this country to pay 52 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 3: for what he was doing inflating the place away. Now, 53 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 3: I don't really feel like getting stuck into Adrian All today. 54 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: There's plenty of time and reason for us to do that. 55 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: At some stage. I'm actually going to give him the bouquet, right, 56 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: I'm going to give him a bouquet, the opposite of 57 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: what I feel like doing most of the time. In 58 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: the lead up today, economists were saying Adrian All was 59 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 3: not going to cut. He should cut, But he's not 60 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: going to cut for one reason, because of his ego, 61 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: because it would be too embarrassing for him to admit 62 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: what a massive mistake he made just three months ago. 63 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: So good on him for tucking that ego away and 64 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: for proving all of us wrong. He took it on 65 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 3: the Chiney did the right thing for the country today 66 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: and most of us and me absolutely included, are grateful 67 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: that he's done it, and the worst is now over. 68 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: Heather do for Sea Island is the text number standard 69 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 3: text fees apply. Now. A bizarre thing has happened at 70 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: Health New Zealand. Yesterday management held a meeting which included 71 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: the Chief Executive, and in this meeting they proposed saving 72 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: the money that Health New Zealand needs to save by 73 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 3: cutting staff, including nearly five hundred doctors and fifteen hundred nurses. 74 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 3: Now immediately the Commissioner has stepped in, stopped the plan 75 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: and given the Chief Executive a massive public bollocking over it. 76 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: Health New Zealand obviously doesn't want to speak about it today. 77 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: Des Gorman is Auckland University emeritus professor who's with us. 78 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: Hey dez Da is on what planet would this be 79 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: a good idea? 80 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 4: Oh A, no planet. 81 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 5: I mean the argument that this is some sort of 82 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 5: speculative comparison doesn't hold water. There's only two explanations for us. 83 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 5: Either one is that. 84 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 4: It's a Washington monument type of offering. 85 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 5: Or the others is that they were serious about cutting 86 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 5: frontline staff. 87 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: Now they would appear. 88 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 5: Looking at it, it's probably more likely the latter, and 89 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 5: you'd have to argue that the timing and the nature 90 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 5: of this is just egregious and stupid. 91 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it seems it's the latter, which is 92 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 3: they were actually going to do it, because a source 93 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: has told the media outlet Newsroom it wasn't a mistake. 94 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 3: They were planning the cuts and at least one region 95 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: of the organization had already started making plans to consult 96 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: and implement the changes. Does that blow your mind? 97 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 6: Oh? 98 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 99 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 5: Look, one area where I disagree with Lester's I think 100 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 5: the health system is in crisis. Whether you look at 101 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 5: health workforce numbers, that's a crisis, and it's important to 102 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 5: recognize it's a crisis either for several reasons. And that 103 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 5: is women and men each day go to work and 104 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 5: they don't provide the healthcare they think their patients deserve, 105 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 5: and they go home at night quite distressed. Now to 106 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 5: tell them that this is not a crisis, this is 107 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 5: a business as usual, is not to validate their experiences, 108 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 5: and I think that's important We do that. The other 109 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 5: thing is when you call it a crisis, to come 110 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 5: up with business as usual solutions. 111 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you come up with crisis solutions. 112 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 3: And that's basically what we need now. Now, Look, if 113 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 3: we take the source of their word, it means that 114 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: the cuts were planned. I can't see how that could 115 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: possibly happen without the chief executive, Margie Upper signing off 116 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: on that. 117 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 4: Am I right, Oh, I can't see that either. 118 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 5: But clearly the implication is that there's a disconnect between 119 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 5: the commissioner and his senior officials. And I think we're 120 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 5: seeing that across all of the health portfolios, that the 121 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 5: various health ministers are struggling against officials headwinds, and so 122 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 5: I think they're all finding it much harder to implication, 123 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 5: to introduce changes than they thought they would because of 124 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 5: those headwinds. 125 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 3: Now, if her idea of how you save the money 126 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 3: is to cut doctors and nurses, she's got to go right, 127 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: because she's not up to the job. 128 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 4: Oh look, that's her idea. Absolutely. 129 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 5: Look, it's a truism that the best way to save 130 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 5: money and health care is not to have health workers 131 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 5: and not to have patience. 132 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 4: But that's just an abject nonsense. 133 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 5: So I think if you've got someone at a time 134 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 5: like this proposing I cunt frontline staff, then they're so 135 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 5: out of touch with the reality that don't belong in it. 136 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. Now it's obviously easy for us to sit here 137 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 3: and say they're doing the wrong thing. What's the right 138 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: thing to do? Des how do you save this amount 139 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: of money? 140 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 6: Oh? 141 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 4: Look, I think Leicester will do that. 142 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 5: I think Lester will save the one hundred to thirty 143 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 5: nine million a month hemorrhage. The question will be, though, 144 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 5: when that hemorrhage has stopped, how do you then transition 145 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 5: to a new state where you can start offering more 146 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 5: services of higher value that is the best possible outcome 147 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 5: at the last possible cost. And I think the focus 148 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 5: has to be on primary care either. The big savings 149 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 5: will come on primary care. 150 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, not in hospitals. 151 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 3: Well you mean, do you mean pump lots of money 152 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 3: into primary care in order to save later on down 153 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: the lone? Is that what you're talking about? 154 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 7: Oh? 155 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 5: No, I mean we're working with the GPS to develop 156 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 5: new business models. Is there's no point going to the 157 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 5: GP community and saying this is what you're going to do. 158 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 5: They will simply oppose that as they have done for us. Cent, 159 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 5: you've got to go to them and say, look, what 160 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 5: would it take for us to do to get you 161 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 5: to do more, do more after our care, to do 162 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 5: home visits, do more critical care in the community. What 163 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 5: sort of ecosystem would encourage that sort of behavior. 164 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always good to talk to you. It'd sound well, 165 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: thank you very much for having a chat to us, 166 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: Dearz Gorman, Auckland University Emeritus Professor. Very interesting thing is 167 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: happening in the States at the moment, and I'm going to, 168 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 3: by the way, just on the subject. I'm not finished 169 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: with the health New Zealand think I'm going to come 170 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: back to it later on. We have more to discuss 171 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: because this is just monumentally bonkers. But I need to 172 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: tell you what's going on in the States. Very interesting 173 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: thing is happening with some documents that have been hacked 174 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: from the Trump campaign. So there's someone who's calling themselves 175 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: Robert obviously not their real name, who's managed to get 176 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: their hands on some Trump campaign internal stuff, probably by hacking, 177 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: and has given it to media over in the US. 178 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 3: None of the media are running these documents. This is Politico, 179 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: The Washington Post, the New York Times, all the big 180 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: ones are just not running it. Among what they've been 181 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: given is a two hundred and seventy one page document 182 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 3: which lists all of JD. Vance's potential vulnerabilities as a 183 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: running mate, which seems to have been put together before 184 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: Trump picked up. So they've obviously gone through how to look 185 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: at all the stuff that he's like at risk about 186 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: put it all in a document, and that's been hacked. 187 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: Now the media outlets have been sitting on the stuff 188 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: for weeks and not publishing it because, yeah, it is 189 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: mildly interesting, but it seems to have come from Iranian hackers. 190 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: That's where they believe it's coming from. And the hackers 191 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: have got into Trump's campaign. And while you know, they 192 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 3: were very happy in twenty sixteen these media outlets to 193 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: publish stuff that the Russians were hacking from the Democrats 194 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: and the Clintons, they've learned a lot since then over 195 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: there about helping other states to undermine the US democracy 196 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: this time around that I want to do it. So 197 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 3: they've got interesting ish stuff, but they're not going to 198 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 3: print it for the sake of American democracy, which actually 199 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: I have to say I have a bit of respect 200 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: for so instead, what they're doing is they're just reporting 201 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: on the fact that there has been a hack itself, 202 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 3: and that's about the extent of it at the moment 203 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: sixteen past four. 204 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather Duper Drive 205 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: with one New zealand one j of Leaf for business 206 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 2: us talk as he ordered sport with the new tab 207 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: app downloaded today bit responsibly. 208 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 8: Again, you've replaced me with a commercial. You're going to 209 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 8: talk to someone. 210 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 3: It's how important you are. We've got a little noise 211 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 3: ahead of you. And now I will say, Darcy Watergrave 212 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 3: Sports Store coasters with us, Darcy, Okay, we're going to 213 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 3: see any changes to the all Black side. 214 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 8: We certainly hope so, wouldn't you. I think the mass 215 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 8: criticism around this site has been the labored approach at 216 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 8: fulkrom It half back by TJ Pettinara. Yes he had 217 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 8: a great season, Yes he's a wonderful person, but at 218 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 8: the end of the day, the new guards are coming 219 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 8: and I don't think that Scott Robertson can mess around 220 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 8: too much more with that, and they're going to have 221 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 8: to look at someone that can actually set this back 222 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 8: line a light. So I think we'll see Corte coming 223 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 8: in and maybe even no Holde them on the bench. 224 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 8: Although TJ might be used as a backup. His box 225 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 8: kicking is inaccurate, his pass is not labored, but he's 226 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 8: just not quick enough. He's not letting go that outside back. 227 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 8: I wonder as well if sever Reese might end up 228 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 8: out and Will Jordan might sink it's okay. But the 229 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 8: thing is here is that Will Jordan is such an 230 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 8: electric player. They've got to work a way to get 231 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 8: him out in there as well. There's also been talk 232 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 8: around the lack of bludgeon, if you will, from the 233 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 8: loose forward treer and how that operates. I don't think 234 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 8: you'll make massive, massive calls. There will be a couple 235 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 8: of knee You don't want to throw out the baby 236 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 8: with the bark water. But let's look at what's going 237 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 8: to happen on Saturday night. 238 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 3: Do you think we need to cut Raises just a 239 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: little bit of slack on this because it feels to 240 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 3: me like he's still trying to figure out what. 241 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think don't underestimate what the Argentines brought 242 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 8: to the party because they're not a bad team and 243 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 8: they've eaten us a couple of times in the last 244 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 8: few years. But that was a scatter gun approach. It 245 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 8: was a panicked all black side and we want to 246 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 8: see the coaching staff and the there's panic by having 247 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 8: wholesale changes. No, I don't think they do, but they 248 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 8: need to tweak and tous. Look, it's not the end 249 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 8: of the world. It will be judged ultimately on World 250 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 8: Cup success and it's going to take a while. But 251 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 8: they get beaten by Argent Dieter on Saturday, that's the 252 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 8: end of that curse for eading back for everybody. 253 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 3: There's no way that's going to happen at Eadie. 254 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 8: They'll beat them by fifty They'll come back. I reckon. 255 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 8: I'd like to see more from Ardie Savia as well. 256 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 8: I think you'd be looking back at that performance going 257 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 8: on Earth was that that wasn't me? We will see 258 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 8: it being dropped up, dropped down a couple of years 259 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 8: and accelerated through the Argentine. 260 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: Isn't as Lisa Carrington not sure she's going to come 261 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: back in four years. 262 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 8: Sounds like she'sa how old is she? Thirty four? 263 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: Thirty five. Fair enough, so she had the children. 264 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 8: Yet reasonably not that I'm aware of. 265 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: That, then as well, you got to start factoring at it. 266 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 8: Those women's magazines and see what are you going to possibly? 267 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 8: You know, I don't know what the biological clock is doing. 268 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 8: It's none of our business either, but the way she performs. 269 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 8: Remember when she decided to come back this time around him, 270 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 8: I was like, are you going to destroy your legacy? Ah, 271 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 8: you've done so well? Why would you blot your copy book? 272 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 8: Hold a beer? It's stunning and so look, not out 273 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 8: of the question. Maybe in four years time that she 274 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 8: might come here. 275 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, brilliant stuff, Darcy, thank you, has always appreciate it. 276 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 3: It's Darcy water Graves Spice. 277 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 8: Gregor Paul is going to join us up out seven 278 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 8: o'clock to discuss this all black team being named good stuff. 279 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: Okay, here we're back at seven for Sports Talk four 280 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: twenty two. 281 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: Heather due to Cy Ellen cutting through the noise to 282 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: get the facts.

She's 287 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: talk about telling you the obvious in about twelve minutes time. 288 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 3: Just really quickly. On the Olympians. How amazing are these people? 289 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 3: I mean there is like they're obviously physical, we know this, right, 290 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: They're physically incredible, But in their heads, that is where 291 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 3: the real stuff is going on, right, because it's been revealed. 292 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: Get a load of this that one of the runners 293 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 3: in the Paris Olympics marathon, running for Great Britain broke 294 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 3: her leg in the marathon and just kept on running 295 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 3: and finished it. And it wasn't like she broke her 296 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: leg towards the end of the marathon. She broke her 297 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: leg at the three k mark and she still ran 298 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: to the forty two k mark. Basically, what it was 299 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: was she had a stiff hip and she was warned, 300 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 3: she was warned by the doctors if you run on 301 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 3: the stiff hip, you're probably gonna end up doing something. 302 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: And it absolutely became a stress fracture in her fema. 303 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 3: And still, and this is where it's even more amazing. 304 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 3: Not only did she do that, but she's still finished 305 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: in under three hours. I hate her time of two 306 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: hours fifty one minutes and three seconds in twenty four 307 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: degrees heat. I mean I would give her a medal 308 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 3: for that, wouldn't you? Four twenty six? How amazing is that? 309 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 3: Now listen, Adrian or I've got another bouquet for him. 310 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: I know, the generosity doesn't end. I was expecting that 311 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: he was gonna get reasonably red faced today and angry 312 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 3: because he's gonna get the press conference and they're gonna 313 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 3: ask him all the questions about what the hell went 314 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: wrong for him to flip from predicting a I can 315 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: made to cutting in August. But actually he held his 316 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: call and some of the questions were, like, you know, 317 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: they were on the nose May. You were projecting a 318 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: cut next year, first cuts next year. Now we're looking 319 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 3: at a cut today. What went wrong? Is this like 320 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 3: a mistake that you made in May? What happened? 321 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 7: I think we explained it extremely well here, and I 322 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 7: would hope that you read it because it's the first 323 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 7: two paragraphs of the document. 324 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 3: Hey, he's keeping his cool. How about that? He is 325 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 3: another one. 326 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 9: The change in policy is huge. It's almost an entire 327 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 9: year early the cuts, and you're doing that solely on 328 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 9: what people call second tier data. Previously you've signaled that 329 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 9: you need to see actual hard numbers and non tradable 330 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 9: inflation and core inflation, and now you're seeming quite happy 331 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 9: to move. 332 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 7: In May, we didn't have a CPI at three point 333 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 7: three percent. 334 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: And then there was more. 335 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 10: And if the goal of monetary policy in this situation 336 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 10: is for a soft landing, can you say you've actually 337 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 10: delivered that? 338 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 7: And I don't know how to answer your other question. 339 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how to answer your other 340 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 3: question from Adrian Or is like that is a very 341 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: controlled Adrian Or right there? Anyway, they were asking all 342 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: the right questions because it's a massive flop. He made 343 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: a huge mistake. Thank god he fixed it today. We'll 344 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: talk to Michael Riddell after five o'clock about that. Headlines next. 345 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: Hard Questions, Strong opinion, every Dupercy Ellen drive with one 346 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected and used talk as it be. 347 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: Adrian Or only cut today so he can hit to 348 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 3: Jackson Hole in a week or so and tell us 349 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 3: mates how grad he is. Oh man, do you know what? 350 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 3: Even if that is his reason to go to that 351 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 3: little symposium and crow about the fact that he's cutting 352 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: I don't care, because isn't it good to have a cut. 353 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 3: I'm so excited. It's only twenty five basis points, but geez, 354 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: we're on the way. That's all we need right now. 355 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 3: Listen on those meth lollies that went through to the 356 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: Auckland City Mission, at least three people so far I 357 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 3: have needed to get medical attention after eating them. It 358 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: sounds like a couple of them more kids. And you 359 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 3: can kind of understand that because if you chuck meth 360 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 3: in your mouth, you know, not speaking from experience, but 361 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 3: if you chuck meking meth in your mouth, I feel 362 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 3: like for an adult, you're probably gonna have a little 363 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 3: bit more. You just got a bigger body, matt, so 364 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 3: you're going to cope with it a little bit better 365 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 3: than a little one thinking they're sucking on a pineapple lolly. 366 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: The good news is that these things taste disgusting, so 367 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: it doesn't sit in that mouth for a long time. 368 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 3: Those kids spitting it out really quickly, Thank God. The 369 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 3: cops say they are now investigating. They've got a few leads. 370 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 3: Few people have been in touch to say they've got 371 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 3: the meth lollies as well. They're still not sure how 372 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 3: many of them are out there, how widespread, but it 373 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 3: does sound like it is not just limited to the 374 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 3: Auckland City mission. So I'd be avoiding these little pineapple 375 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: sweets if I was you. Cops don't know where they've 376 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: come from or anything like that. Looks like they are 377 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 3: one hundred percent meth as well, which means they're actually value. Weirdly, 378 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 3: I think I read somewhere that each one of those 379 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 3: lollies is about one thousand bucks. So whichever numpty drug 380 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: dealer accidentally has lost one thousand dollars lollies, I feel 381 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: like they're not going to have a good time from 382 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 3: the Kingpin. What do you think anyway? We're gonna have 383 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 3: a chat to the Drug Foundation after ten past five, 384 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: just get a take on how dangerous these things are. 385 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: The kids are popping them in their mouths. Twenty three 386 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 3: away from five. 387 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on news talks. He'd be drive. 388 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 3: Tim Waltz has made his first solo speech since he 389 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 3: joined Karmala Harris's ticket. Tim's opponent, Jade Vance, has been 390 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 3: having a go at him for never serving in a 391 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 3: combat zone during his military career. Here's how Tim responded. 392 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 3: To that at an event in Los Angeles. 393 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 11: And I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person's 394 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 11: service record anyone brave enough to put on that uniform 395 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 11: for our great country, including my opponent. I just have 396 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 11: a few simple words, thank you for your service and sacrifice. 397 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: The Aussie federal opposition wants to close the border completely 398 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 3: to any refugees from Gaza. So Peter Dutton, who the 399 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 3: opposition leader, says anyone entering Australia from the Gaza Strip 400 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 3: is a risk to national security. Elbow, who's the PM, 401 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 3: says it's not Peter Dudden's decision to make. 402 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 12: Well listen to the security agencies when it comes to 403 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 12: national security and the Director General, Mark Burgess, will play 404 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 12: a critical role in that. And you know, I say 405 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 12: to try to bring people together and not always looking 406 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 12: for a wage you're on to divide. 407 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 13: And finally, I grew up in a tough neighborhood and 408 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 13: we used to say you can get further with a 409 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 13: kind word and a gun than you can with just 410 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 13: a Caine word. 411 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 3: Al Capone's favorite pistol has been acquired by a museum 412 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 3: in Las Vegas. It's a cult nineteen eleven forty five 413 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 3: semi automatic, and he used to apparently call it Sweetheart. 414 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 3: A private collector has given the gun to the Mob Museum. 415 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 3: The museum hasn't yet announced when it's going to go 416 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 3: on display. 417 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 418 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: for New Zealand Business. 419 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 3: Jan Mitchinson US correspondents with US Hey, Dan, Hey, Heather, Elon. 420 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: I mean, where's Elon getting this number from that a 421 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: billion people tuned in? Is this for real? 422 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 14: I don't know. I don't think so, honestly. I mean, 423 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 14: there's been so much that he said since this interview 424 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 14: first happened, and there's also been some fallout, you know, 425 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 14: And I don't even want to call it an interview 426 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 14: because it was a conversation. It sounded more like a 427 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 14: couple of guys just talking over a beer. And the 428 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 14: latest fallout's been from the United Auto Workers Union. They 429 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 14: filed the federal labor charges against both Elon Musk and 430 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 14: former President Trump because they said they were threatening to 431 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 14: intimidate workers who go on strike. And that was part 432 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 14: of the conversation that was going on during this thing, 433 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 14: because Trump was saying how much he admired Elon Musk 434 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 14: and his anti union stands called of the cutter, and 435 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 14: Musk was laughing during some of the comments. So the 436 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 14: union didn't like what they heard and they filed these 437 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 14: charges just a few hours ago, saying this was a 438 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 14: form of intimidation. 439 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 3: Has it helped Trump's campaign ale, which is what it 440 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 3: was supposed to do? 441 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 14: No, I don't think so. 442 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 4: I don't think so. 443 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 14: I mean, Musk said that the goal with his livestream 444 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 14: to help people understand how Trump talks when it's a 445 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 14: conversation rather than an interview. He says, nobody's quiet themselves 446 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 14: in an interview. But I think Trump only knows one 447 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 14: way of being himself, and that is being Donald Trump. 448 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 14: And it doesn't matter if it's on social media, if 449 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 14: it's an interview, it's a conversation or it's a debate. 450 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 4: He is who he is. 451 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 3: Yeah too right, Hey, listen, what are the top ten 452 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 3: causes the death in the US. 453 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 14: Well, this is interesting. The ten leading causes include kidney 454 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 14: disease and diabetes. They were in the top ten. Accidents 455 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 14: and unintentional injuries came in at number three. Cancers number 456 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 14: let's see, cancer was number two. I was trying. I 457 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 14: was looking down the list here, heart disease is number one, 458 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 14: is the top killer in the US. Nearly a quarter 459 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 14: of all deaths were tied to this, so about one 460 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 14: hundred and sixty two out of every one hundred thousand 461 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 14: and that you know, that's compared to the number one 462 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 14: cause of death in your country, which is cancer and 463 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 14: then cardiovascular disease. 464 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: But that's because we're not as fat as you. 465 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: No that. 466 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 14: I was just going to say a lot of this 467 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 14: has to do with our diet over here. You know, 468 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 14: the whole bigger is better, which it's not. We move 469 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 14: around less, we're in front of our TV more and 470 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 14: we don't get out and enjoy the you know, the 471 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 14: great outdoors like you have over there. 472 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: You're a Reich. You're not going to die of heart disease, 473 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: are you? Although, actually, Dan, weirdly, that actually puts you 474 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: at greater risk because you don't think you are. So 475 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 3: you don't get your hot checked. So you need to 476 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 3: get your hot checked. I'll do that because you're still American. 477 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 3: Remember that ye still eating this time? 478 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 14: I still am. 479 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: Hey, listen, what happened to Avon? 480 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 14: You know this has been hit well basically they have 481 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 14: just been hit by lawsuit after lawsuit for these talcum 482 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 14: powder based products that were contaminated with cancer causing substances. 483 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 14: So they have filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy. Now operations 484 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 14: outside of the US are being excluded from this, so 485 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 14: that means things should be okay over on your side 486 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 14: of the world for the time being. But the question 487 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 14: is what does this mean for the two million people 488 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 14: who sell these cosmetics here? I mean, the CEO is 489 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 14: doing the spin job you hear when companies go through 490 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 14: this process saying, you know, it has the support of 491 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 14: customers and they're moving forward with modernizing their selling model 492 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 14: and stuff like that. But it's still I mean, this 493 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 14: is like the makeup giant in the world right now 494 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 14: in two million people. Is an awful lot to be 495 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 14: looking for another job. Possibly, Yeah, very good point. 496 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 3: Actually, Dan, Hey, thank you very much, mate, Really appreciate 497 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: to look after yourself. That's Dan Mitchison, a US correspondent. 498 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: Hang on here, that did I hear you? Right at 499 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 3: the start of the program, one of the kids has 500 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 3: quit the boot camp. Isn't it compulsory? Well, this is 501 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 3: exactly the question that I asked as soon as I 502 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 3: heard about this. No, it's not compulsory because remember this 503 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 3: is a trial. So when the trial is over and 504 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 3: where and we've learned all the lessons that we need 505 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: to and we're actually doing this thing full noise, then 506 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 3: it becomes compulsory. Then the kids can't opt out and 507 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: they have to complete. However, this young one who's opted 508 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 3: out is going to be able to complete their sentence 509 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 3: at another youth justice facility that don't just get to bunk. 510 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 3: We'll have a chat to Karen sure, the Minister for Children. 511 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 3: After the half past five years now, there's a weird 512 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: idea in Totranger find I find I feel like we're 513 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 3: over complicating roads. Have listened to this a case. So 514 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 3: in Totunger, they've had this problem for a while now 515 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 3: with a road that the council closed at one end 516 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 3: in the mornings and the afternoons. I think it was 517 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 3: to stop rat running, and the residents were really upset 518 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 3: about it and they were talking to the media about 519 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 3: it heaps, because obviously it just made their lives more 520 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 3: complicated having to go around because suddenly the thing is closed. Anyway, 521 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: the council there has decided the best way to deal 522 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 3: with this is that actually now you can use the 523 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: street any time of day. You can come into the 524 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 3: street from either end, but you are not allowed to 525 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 3: come out of the street again for fifteen minutes. So 526 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 3: and the point of this is obviously that if you 527 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 3: go in and you're in there for shorter than fifteen minutes, 528 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 3: you're just driving through. And if you go in and 529 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 3: you're longer there that longer than fifteen minutes in the street, 530 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 3: it must mean that you're visiting somebody or you live there. 531 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 3: If you are shorter than fifteen minutes, if you're just 532 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: driving through, you will get a fine. This is where 533 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 3: I think it's complicated because now to me coming from 534 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 3: Auckland going to Todung, I'm gonna be like, look, it's 535 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 3: a street turn and then oh there's a sign and ah, 536 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 3: like all the stuff you've never seen before in your life. 537 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 3: Now you're dealing with this and hard on it. Anyway, 538 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 3: that area about this. They it just started on the 539 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 3: first of July, so it's only been going about six 540 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 3: weeks or something. They've already issued one hundred and twelve fines. 541 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 3: Imagine how much it would suck though, if you live 542 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 3: on the street and you get home and then you're like, 543 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 3: you just get home and you realize, oh bugger, I 544 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 3: forgot to get the milk. Now you have to down. 545 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: Now you have to start the clock, haven't you. You 546 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 3: got to sit there for fifteen minutes before you can 547 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 3: leave again to go get your milk. Either that or 548 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 3: you're going to have one hundred and fifty five dollars milk, 549 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 3: aren't you, Because you're gonna have to pay one hundred 550 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: and fifty dollar fine just to be able to go 551 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: get the milk at a convenient time. So that's not awesome. 552 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: That's not awesome. It's also very complicated. 553 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 2: Barry Soaper's next politics with centrics credit, check your customers 554 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: and get payments, certainty Barry. 555 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: Soaper, Senior Political correspondence with US. Now, hey, Barry, good afternoon. 556 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: Hither the government will be stoked at that official cash 557 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 3: rate car right? 558 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 8: Well, yes it will be. I mean they'd be on 559 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 8: ten to hooks waiting for this, and it's the first 560 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 8: cut since March twenty twenty, hell of a long time. 561 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 8: In recent months, economic data shows that inflation is under 562 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 8: control or coming under control, unemployment is rising, and economic 563 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 8: growth is stalling, which is the downside to it. But 564 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 8: both Chris Luxon and Nicola Willis faced the press gallery 565 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 8: at Parliament a short time ago and the first question 566 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 8: that was asked of them was they seem to be 567 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 8: taking all the credit when in fact this was the 568 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 8: Reserve banks decision. Well, that put them on the front foot, and. 569 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 15: We've stopped adding costs on businesses that push up prices, 570 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 15: like the ute tax and the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax 571 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 15: and landlord taxes like interesteductibility and bright line. We've also 572 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 15: reduced economic bottlenecks and cut red tape by restoring ninety 573 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 15: day trials and abolishing mandatory union bargaining and fixing the 574 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 15: triple CFA and support of that fiscal discipline and economic plan. 575 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 15: Inflation is now tracking down fast, down to three point 576 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 15: three percent from seven point three percent, which is the 577 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 15: lowest in three years. 578 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 16: The cost of living crisis that New Zealand has endured 579 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 16: has been characterized by high inflation and high interest rates. 580 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 16: So today mark's an important milestone and beating both those beasts. 581 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 8: And the point that Nichola Willis made was that if 582 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 8: inflation wasn't coming down then they would be blamed for it, 583 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 8: So you can't win sometimes, can you you know? I 584 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 8: think they have set the scene when you think of 585 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 8: the inflation, the way it was fueled by excess borrowing 586 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 8: and money being shelled out by the last labor government. 587 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 3: Erry the boot camps are one. What is a fortnight 588 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 3: in one kid has left? How much longer ago in 589 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: the trial? 590 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 17: Oh? 591 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 3: I think it's three months? 592 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 4: Yes, three months? 593 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 8: And I thought the Children's Minister Karen Shaw was actually 594 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 8: quite wise today putting out a statement and admitting that 595 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 8: one had pulled out and obviously this kid was causing 596 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 8: trouble for his fellow participants. They say that it was 597 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 8: in his best interests, his fun, oil's best interests and 598 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 8: the other participants. Now what does that tell you? Ready? 599 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 8: Between that line that is that he was obviously a 600 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 8: stirer and he is better off our destruction. Exactly what 601 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 8: I love is though, is what they have to get 602 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 8: up to in the morning, These young people, they have 603 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 8: to they have a set morning routine, starting with breakfast, 604 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 8: shower and military style drills. Daily hygiene routines such as 605 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 8: ensuring their rooms are clean, clothes are ironed, and taking 606 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 8: pride in their presentation. I think it's fantastic. 607 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 3: How old are these kids seventeen around seventy? 608 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 8: Look, I remember being in police cart at Trentham when 609 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 8: I was around the same age. We had the same 610 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 8: requirements on us and I'll tell you what, if you 611 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 8: didn't do it, you get a swift boot up the backside. 612 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 3: Have you ever picked up an iron before you went 613 00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 3: to police college? 614 00:27:59,000 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 4: Oh? 615 00:27:59,240 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 17: Yes. 616 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 3: I just think modern kids won't have. 617 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 8: Well, they probably don't know. 618 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 3: And it's not a reflection of whether they're naughty or not. 619 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 3: I think I just think we spoil a little buggers. Now, 620 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,479 Speaker 3: speaking of which, we're going to start the ironing tomorrow. Okay, 621 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 3: So Luxeon's off to Australia tomorrow. He has been over 622 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 3: a few times now, isn't. 623 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 8: He has been over, but this is his first official visit, 624 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 8: so you know, they make a big deal of this. 625 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 8: He'll on Friday go to Canberra after going to Sydney tomorrow, 626 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 8: and he'll be talking a business essentially in Sydney and 627 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 8: then going off to have a chat with Albanezi, who 628 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 8: he says as an old friend. And of course he 629 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 8: will be speaking slowly and in monosyllabic English. 630 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 3: I would imagine, although keeping it simple. 631 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 8: Should take a sign language person over with him, although 632 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 8: the accents might get confused, as he did. But what 633 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 8: I want and it's my bug bear, and of course 634 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 8: it won't happen. 635 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: Is the the vitations to stop. It's not going to happen. 636 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 8: Well, you know they've come. I was going through the 637 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 8: crimes that these people have committed. Well over three thousand 638 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 8: now have come out of Australia. Some of them have 639 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 8: no association with New Zealand just and seemed to present 640 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 8: it when she met with Scott Morrison as though the 641 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 8: situation was about to be basically made more humane. But 642 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 8: in fact they've tightened up and you've got that fellow 643 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 8: Peter Dutton. He referred to the deportees you'll remember as trade. 644 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 3: They are barry, Well, some of them are. I don't 645 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 3: want them either. 646 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 8: Well, no, we don't want them. But you know these 647 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 8: people some of them went there is. 648 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 3: Can I get that? Many can hardly? Like I tell 649 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 3: you what, if this was news, if it was New Zealand, 650 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: you'd be wanting to toss No. 651 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 8: I think we have to. I think you have to 652 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 8: take some responsibility. Is like a parent taking some responsibility 653 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 8: for your children. These people were born and brought up 654 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 8: or not born, but brought up in Australia and learned 655 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 8: all their bad. 656 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 3: I'm glad you didn't become a cop because you would 657 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 3: have been a soft one. Actually, I've got a real champion. 658 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 8: I would have been the commissioner. 659 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 3: Then, absolutely you and Andy. I've got a champion heading 660 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 3: our way. Five oh one deep. Ut, I'll tell you 661 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: about later, Barr. We'll do it probably in the next 662 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 3: hour or so. Barry so Per, senior political correspondent. 663 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 2: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers the mic asking breakfast. 664 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 18: Tourism stats release, we're reminded yet again of how far 665 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 18: short of where we need to be we actually are. 666 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 18: Visitor arrivals are still seventeen percent down on three pandemic levels. 667 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 18: This is back twenty nineteen. For goodness, like Tourism Holdings 668 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 18: Incorporated CEO Grant Webster back with us. 669 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 19: I think part of it is the marketing dollar, right. 670 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 19: I mean, if you look at tourism Australia and take 671 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 19: the three big states, they combined have got around eight 672 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 19: hundred million in spend on a per capita basis. That's 673 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 19: like fifty percent more than us in New Zealand, and 674 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 19: we are less than one percent, well less than one 675 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 19: percent market share and tourism on a global basis, so 676 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 19: we we've got to be more competitive. 677 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 18: Back tomorrow at six am, the mic asking breakfast with 678 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 18: the rain driver of the last news toog. 679 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 3: ZB either what was the reason that Barry left the 680 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 3: police college misbehavior? I feel like he might have got 681 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 3: into a fight with a supervisor. Like when I say fight, 682 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 3: I don't mean a verbal one, a metaphysical one. I 683 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: think that's what happened. Anyway. He puts it down to 684 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 3: having an anti authoritarian streak, which, yeah, I think we 685 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 3: can all see. Hither, this is really the total your thing. Hither, 686 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 3: they would have to have your address if they send 687 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 3: you the find, so surely you'd be exonerated because you 688 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 3: live on that street. Surely that's the case, and surely 689 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 3: it wouldn't affect the emergency vehicles and the uber eats guys. Otherwise, Like, 690 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 3: how's this going to work? I'm guessing that you can 691 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 3: go in one side of the street and out that 692 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 3: same side, but not the other side. That must be 693 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 3: how it works. Otherwise it's a total kafuffle. Hey guess 694 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: which council I'm talking about. Guess who did this? A 695 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 3: council is under fire for buying a bike crack that 696 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 3: no one uses. They spent eighty four thousand dollars on 697 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 3: the bike crack. Now I'm looking at buying a bike 698 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 3: crack because my husband's bikes bike standard snapped off, isn't it. 699 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 3: And I looked on one atain online as I'm tight, 700 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 3: so I was like, ooh, geez, fifty dollars for a 701 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 3: bike crack seems like a lot of money. Ou don't 702 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 3: they go want to spend that much. I'm gonna wait 703 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 3: for something to come up cheaper. Eighty four thousand dollars 704 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 3: blows my mind. So in this particular bike crack, it's 705 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 3: quite it's quite a nifty one. It's like a massive 706 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 3: it's like a massive cupboard with glass doors. They have 707 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 3: twenty four bike spaces you can hang your bike there. 708 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 3: Every week that bike crackers used two point seven times. 709 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: Twenty four bike cracks available twenty four times every single 710 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: hour of every single day of the whole week, three 711 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 3: times in a week. Guess which council did that. Wellington 712 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 3: City Council, of course it was yep, that's who it was. 713 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 3: So anyway, the chap who is a cyclist who spotted it? 714 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 3: It's gonna talk to us in twenty minutes time. Michael 715 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 3: Riddell form a Reserve Bank economist with us next. 716 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 4: Twenty nights on a pink skyes. 717 00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: You taught them to enjoy. 718 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 2: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 719 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 2: get the answers by the facts and give the analysis. 720 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 2: Heather due to clan drive with one New Zealand. Let's 721 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 2: get connected and news talk as they'd. 722 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 3: Be good afternoons. So we've got the start of good 723 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 3: news for the economy. The Reserve Bank has cut the 724 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 3: official cash rate by twenty five faces points and is 725 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 3: likely to be at least another cut coming this year. 726 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 3: Krew we bank ASB and A and z'd immediately announced 727 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 3: that they were cutting their mortgage rates and response and 728 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 3: the Finance Minister was celebrating as well. 729 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 16: After four years, we're the only way for interest rates 730 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 16: to go was app The Reserve Bank is now forecasting 731 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 16: an era of interest rate reductions. 732 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 3: Former Reserve Bank economist Michael Riddella's with me now, have Michael, 733 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 3: were you surprised to see them actually do the right 734 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 3: thing and. 735 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 6: Cut You could never quite tell what an institution that 736 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 6: flip flops as much as they have. But no, I 737 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 6: thought they would find me. When you're in a hole, 738 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 6: you stop digging, And even they learned that lesson, right, 739 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 6: And what. 740 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 3: Is the motivator for them? Basically because we're in a 741 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 3: third recession? 742 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they don't quite use those words. But 743 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 6: if the economies are proven weaker than they expected to 744 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 6: get back to their maid monetary policy statement, they were 745 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 6: expecting to see the economy starting to pick up. If anything, 746 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 6: it's getting worse. And they highlight a bunch of high 747 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 6: frequency indicators, business surveys, and those sorts of things that 748 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 6: are looking really quite bleak at the moment. 749 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting press conference today. Adrian Or wouldn't admit that 750 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 3: he'd made any mistakes. Of course he wouldn't. 751 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 6: Has he done that, definitely has? I mean, there's a 752 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 6: really bad lot to the bank to have gone out 753 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 6: pretty strongly in May on the idea that rates would 754 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 6: have to stay up for at least a year, they 755 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 6: might even have to rise somewhat from there to where 756 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 6: we are today. And it's not as if some big 757 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 6: event has happened externally. It's just that they badly misread 758 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 6: of what's going on in the economy, and that's pretty 759 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 6: inexcusable because they were raising ranks up to the middle 760 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 6: of last year. Monitory policy works with a lag, It 761 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 6: takes it year or so. Can when you get in 762 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 6: respects to a higher level a year or so later, 763 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 6: you expect to see things looking pretty sick, and pretty 764 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 6: sick they are. The good news is that means inflation 765 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 6: is really coming down, and they're now much more confident 766 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 6: that we're going to get back to the middle of 767 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 6: the target range, but at quite a price. 768 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 3: Michael, can you explain how they misread things so badly 769 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 3: that they've gone from a possible hike in May to 770 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 3: a cut in August. 771 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 6: It's hard to do so without being a fly into 772 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 6: all themed deliberations. But I think they were sort of 773 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 6: freaked for a bit about by some of the things 774 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 6: I'm so called non tradable inflation, so particularly rates and 775 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 6: insurance costs, and neither of those things are things that 776 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 6: mnutary policy can do much about. And somehow they just 777 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 6: got rattled and they didn't believe the narrative, they didn't 778 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 6: believe in their models and a few bits of data 779 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 6: three months ago just mis led them. And it's a 780 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 6: week leadership on the part of the Governor and the 781 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 6: Chief Economy not to have said, look, guys, let's just 782 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 6: hold the course and see what we get to. 783 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 3: So what are you picking? Another cut by year's end 784 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 3: and four and a half percent OCR by mid next year. 785 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 6: I actually think they lend I having to go further 786 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 6: than that. If you look at the numbers in their 787 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 6: martial policy statement, they expect to see growth rebounding quite 788 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 6: strongly by early next year, and it's just not clear 789 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 6: how that's going to happen. Fiscal policy is going to 790 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 6: be quite contractionary. The government's cutting and spending over the 791 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 6: next couple of years. Intrastrates on their own telling are 792 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 6: still above what we call neutral, So I wouldn't be 793 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 6: surprised if for the middle of next year we aren't 794 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 6: down to three or even two point five percent. Wow, 795 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 6: consistent with what's happened in previous using cycles over twenty 796 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 6: thirty years. 797 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a massive change, isn't it. Michael, Thank you 798 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 3: very much for the expertise. Michael Riddelle former Reserve Bank. 799 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: Economist Heather do for ZILA. 800 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 3: So the meth lollies. The cops are now investigating. Up 801 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 3: to four hundred people are being urgently contacted. At least 802 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 3: eight families are known to have been infected affected rather, 803 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 3: including a child. Three people have sought medical assistance. The 804 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 3: disguised pineapple flavored lollies were donated by an unknown member 805 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 3: of the public to the Auckland City Mission. 806 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 20: Early yesterday afternoon. 807 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 16: We received an alert of concern by a food parcel 808 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 16: recipient who said that they had tried funny tasting lollies. 809 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 3: The Drug Foundation Executive director Sarah Helmers with me. Now, hey, Sarah, hey, here, 810 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 3: how much meth is in each of these lollies? 811 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 21: Yeah, very concerningly. The sample we have tested, or samples, 812 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 21: I should say, we're one hundred percent meth. The lollies 813 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 21: weighs three grams, so each lolly represents three grams of myth. 814 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 21: Now three grams of myth. Yet normally, if you were 815 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 21: going to take it on purpose, you'd be taking fifteen 816 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 21: ish micrograms, So represents something like three hundred doses in 817 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 21: each lolly. 818 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 3: Okay, is that enough for even an adult if you 819 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 3: were to consume the whole thing to overdose fat? 820 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 8: Yeah? 821 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 21: Lethal, Most likely. 822 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 3: Okay, well, you're obviously not going to consume the whole 823 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 3: thing because it tastes really, really awful. So if you're 824 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 3: just having a suck of it before you realize that 825 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 3: something's wrong with it, how much trouble are you in? 826 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 21: It could be still a range of effects, so you're 827 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 21: likely to still feel an effect, possibly still needing to 828 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 21: seek medical attention. So we're rarely urging anyone who knows 829 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 21: anyone that's received a City Mission package to get in 830 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 21: touch with them that might have one in their possession 831 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 21: or have taken something, to seek help immediately. 832 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 3: Don't wait, Yeah, is this a drug delivery gone bad? 833 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 21: Look, we've made a few guesses about what it is, 834 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 21: so it's worth a lot of money. So we don't 835 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 21: think anyone would have done it on purpose, or at 836 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 21: least donated it on purpose. Obviously the packaging is very intentional. 837 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 21: It's quite normal for drug smuggling to occur in food 838 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 21: products or in food packaging. It's happened here before, and 839 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 21: certainly in terms of lollies, it's happened internationally. So we 840 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 21: think that something has gone awry and somebody's ended up 841 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 21: thinking we're holding a bag of lollies. But anyway, we 842 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 21: really don't know until further investigation is carried out. We've 843 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 21: been quite focused on testing that sample, making sure that 844 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 21: the people who need to know in terms of like 845 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 21: the poison line etc. Are informed, and then today we've 846 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 21: spent much of the day contacting other frontline organizations to 847 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 21: check what's going on for them. 848 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Sarah, thank you very much for talking out, 849 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 3: Sir at Sarah Holm, the New Zealand Drug Foundation executive director. 850 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: Here the dup. 851 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 3: Let's talk about that extraordinary expense of bike rack in 852 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 3: Wellington very shortly. But I've got some good news for 853 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,399 Speaker 3: you if you have an electric vehicle or you want 854 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 3: to buy an electric vehicle. According to BMI Research, which 855 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 3: is a market analysis firm that's owned by Fitch, the 856 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 3: rating agency, it's not looking good this year, right, So 857 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 3: sales are going to keep falling for the evs and 858 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 3: it's down to like eleventh, like lower than fewer than 859 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 3: eleven thousand sales this year. Now, compare that to twenty 860 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 3: three thousand sales and twenty two and thirty thousand sales 861 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 3: last year. Eleven thousand fewer than that is not a 862 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 3: good look, right, It's not a lot plug in hybrids. Also, 863 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 3: they were nine thousand sales last year down to three 864 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 3: and a half thousand sales this year. But next year 865 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,280 Speaker 3: it starts to pick up. These guys at BMI Research 866 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,800 Speaker 3: reckon the EV sales will grow by fifty five percent 867 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 3: year on year, and the reason for that is Chinese 868 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 3: made evs because they're cheap and they're really good. And 869 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 3: for that reason, people are going to start having confidence again. 870 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 3: Quarter past Hey, going at a snail's pace on the 871 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 3: motorway is pretty frustrating for most of us, right, but 872 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 3: if you think glass half full for a moment, if 873 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 3: you're a business with graphics on your vehicle, it can 874 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 3: actually be a really good thing.

It's eighty 896 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 3: four thousand dollars they've spent on a bike crack that 897 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 3: hardly anyone's using. They've put this thing outside Freiburg Pool 898 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 3: and Oriental Bay. It's been there since last year and 899 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 3: even though it can fit twenty four bikes at a time, 900 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 3: on average only two point seven bikes are using the 901 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,959 Speaker 3: thing every week now.

It's a very fancy bike rack. 907 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,839 Speaker 22: It's a Rolls Royce bike rack, and I thought, well, 908 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 22: I have to spend that much money on it. Why 909 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 22: isn't it being used? 910 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 3: Why do you think no one's using it? 911 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 22: I don't think there's a need for it, Frankly, I 912 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 22: think that places out the front of the fro Boot 913 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 22: pool to put your bikes. There's other racks on the 914 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 22: footpath outside the pool, and they're often. 915 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 6: Not for Richid. 916 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 3: Can you explain something to me because but looking at 917 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 3: it in the photographs it looks like you have to 918 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 3: sort of hoist your bike up to be able to 919 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 3: put it in there. Is that how it works? 920 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 22: Well, it's yes, it's quite a expensive because it's quite 921 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 22: a smart of engineering. It's all spring loaded, so you 922 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 22: pull the racks out and they're spring loaded, You pull 923 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 22: it down, you put your bike in, it goes back 924 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 22: up again. You know, I'm thinking that they could have 925 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 22: used two inch galvanized pipe. Been in the U shape 926 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 22: and put on the ground with a bit of concrete 927 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 22: for the same number of racks for five grand, not 928 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 22: eighty four grand. 929 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 3: They reckon at the council that the problem is that 930 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 3: you've busted them in the middle of winter, right, and 931 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 3: nobody really wants to cycle in winter. But come some 932 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 3: of the things going to be full. What do you reckon? 933 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 22: Well, I think that's that's a rare hearing.

I'll play you 955 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 3: that exchange. Hopefully I can do it before the headlines 956 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 3: actually stand. By five twenty. 957 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,439 Speaker 2: One, Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather duper 958 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 2: c Allen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected 959 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:40,800 Speaker 2: and news dogs. 960 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 3: That'd be theory on the meth lollies hither. I'm guessing 961 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 3: the myth suites were meant to go to a dealer 962 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 3: who's at the City Mission. What a great distribution center 963 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 3: for myth must have been given to the wrong person. 964 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 3: Perfectly plausible explanation for it seems like the most likely one, 965 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 3: isn't it. Five twenty four Listen, I wholeheartedly agree with 966 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 3: what des Gorman said at the start of the program. 967 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 3: The Boss of Health New Zealand needs to go her job. 968 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 3: I do not think as tenable any longer. After the 969 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 3: stunt that was pulled yesterday. Now the stunt is where 970 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,720 Speaker 3: her management team gave a presentation to other staff proposing 971 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,959 Speaker 3: that the way that Health New Zealand needs to save 972 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 3: all this money that it needs to save is to 973 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 3: cut nearly five hundred doctors and nearly fifteen hundred nurses. 974 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 3: It doesn't look like Margie up of the Chief Executive 975 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 3: complete ignorance or innocence on this one, because, according to 976 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 3: a source who's spoken to the media outlet Newsroom, who 977 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 3: seemed to be the most informed on this particular issue, 978 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 3: the presentation wasn't actually a stunt. Those cuts were really planned, 979 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 3: like this was really really going to happen, and at 980 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 3: least one region of the organization had already started making 981 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 3: plans to consult and implement the changes. Now, it is 982 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 3: hard to imagine a region in the organization starting to 983 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 3: cut doctors and nurses without the CEO signing off on it. 984 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 3: It is impossible then, to have confidence in her as 985 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 3: the boss of Health New Zealand if she genuinely believes 986 00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 3: it the way to save money is to cut doctors 987 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 3: nurses in a health system that already doesn't have doctors 988 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 3: and nurses. Can you really trust her to run this 989 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 3: place properly. Frankly, even before what happened yesterday, she was 990 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 3: on thin ice because the way that she was running 991 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 3: the place, it has been blowing its budget by one 992 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty million dollars every month for five months. 993 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 3: That's not competence, that's unbelievable. I think she's gone, by 994 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,320 Speaker 3: the way. I don't think that I'm sitting here telling 995 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,359 Speaker 3: you something that I'm just guessing at. I think she's gone. 996 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 3: And I base that on the fact that the new 997 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 3: Health Commissioner, Lester Levy is not expressing full confidence in her. 998 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,439 Speaker 3: He's failed to do that a couple of times now. 999 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 3: And also he's gone public with the fact that he's 1000 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 3: called her about what happened yesterday, and he's made it 1001 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,839 Speaker 3: very clear this is unacceptable his word, unacceptable quote and 1002 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,959 Speaker 3: is not to ever be repeated. And then he says 1003 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 3: he told the Minister's office there will be consequences. My 1004 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 3: guess is the consequence is that she's gone, and it's 1005 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,839 Speaker 3: only a matter of time for them to just sort 1006 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 3: out the paperwork and how we get her out the door. 1007 00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 3: And frankly, given how this place has been run and 1008 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 3: the nutside for how they were going to save money. 1009 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 3: I think Marjorie Upper leaving Health New Zealand may well 1010 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 3: be the best outcome ever. All right, one reporter does 1011 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,320 Speaker 3: get under Adrian or his skin. He holds it together, 1012 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 3: but you can hear it. This is Jenny Ruth, the 1013 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 3: veteran business reporter today in the press conference. 1014 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 9: That's a huge change. 1015 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: I mean it begs some sort of explanation. 1016 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 3: So what she's looking for is an explanation for how 1017 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 3: he goes from in May telling us we're going to 1018 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 3: get a hike to then cutting this month. He makes 1019 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:30,760 Speaker 3: a fist of answering the question. 1020 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,919 Speaker 7: Well it does. There's a forty two page explanation here 1021 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 7: and I invite people to read it. And no, it's 1022 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 7: not a huge change, a change of where you have 1023 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 7: what one hundred and fifty basis points. 1024 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 3: Yes, it's a huge change, but that's all he's going 1025 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,720 Speaker 3: to give her. And she goes to ask another question 1026 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 3: and he's not having it. 1027 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 7: If we move on, please, you need to understand the indogen. 1028 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 2: Agor got something like. 1029 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 3: Three or four questions. I've only had a chance to 1030 00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 3: us one. Sorry, you need to understand the indogeneity. That's 1031 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 3: why I always try to resolve my arguments like that 1032 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 3: with my husband. You need to understand the indogeneity, don't you. 1033 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 3: Why not question anyway, Karen Sure. 1034 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 2: Next the day's newsmakers talk to Heather first, Heather Duplicy, 1035 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 2: Alan drive with One New Zealand let's get connected. 1036 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 1: And news talk z be. 1037 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm getting a lot of texts asking what indigeneity is, 1038 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,479 Speaker 3: and look, frankly, that is a that's a fair question. 1039 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 3: Hold on, I did do a little search before. Let 1040 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 3: me do it again. Indigen Okay, here we go. Indogeneity 1041 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 3: refers to where the effect of an independent variable on 1042 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,760 Speaker 3: a dependent variable cannot be casually interpreted because it includes 1043 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 3: omitted causes, leading to biased estimates. So that's what Jenny 1044 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 3: was doing. Well, she was making yes, close it right up, 1045 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 3: doesn't yah? And Jenny, I get a five year old 1046 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:03,719 Speaker 3: sertion of that one. I don't know, No, I don't 1047 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 3: really like. I feel like I'm going to do it 1048 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,319 Speaker 3: and then there's going to be an economist listening to meet, 1049 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 3: like Michael Raddell, and he's going to send text. But 1050 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 3: I feel like what it means is when you've got 1051 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 3: a fixed variable, you can't just assume that necessarily the 1052 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 3: other variable has caused the effect on the variable that 1053 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 3: you think it's caused because you're omitting everything else. Did 1054 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 3: that explain it? 1055 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 10: It? 1056 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,320 Speaker 3: H look no, neither, And I don't feel like, frankly, 1057 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,240 Speaker 3: Adrian is going to come to the party and explain 1058 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 3: anything to us. But Jenny should have known. She should 1059 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 3: have known that when she asked him all of those 1060 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 3: annoying questions. Twenty four away from six ever do so, 1061 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,799 Speaker 3: here's an update on how the military style boot camps 1062 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 3: are going. One kid has already bunked out. They're going 1063 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,720 Speaker 3: to instead complete their sentence at another youth justice facility. Otherwise, 1064 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:49,799 Speaker 3: apparently it's going well. Minister for Children Karen chaws with us. Now, hey, Karen, Andy, 1065 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 3: how's it going very well? 1066 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 22: Thank you? 1067 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 3: Did the child choose to leave or did you guys 1068 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 3: ask the child to leave? 1069 00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 23: The young person has chosen to leave for personal reasons, 1070 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 23: and we were kind of expecting that this may happen. 1071 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 23: So start, we're ready for that, wrapping around that young person, 1072 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 23: making sure that we could get them in front of 1073 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,240 Speaker 23: a judge to change their sentencing plan because now they'll 1074 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 23: have to complete their sentence at another youth justice facility. 1075 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 23: So this young person hasn't got off lately, They'll still 1076 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 23: be completing the sentence. It will just be at another facility. 1077 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,399 Speaker 6: What went wrong, Oh, I wouldn't. 1078 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 23: Say anything went wrong. This is a pilot program. We've 1079 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 23: always said that if they're young person does not want 1080 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 23: to continue, that they have that choice. I wouldn't want 1081 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 23: to go into too much detail check the young person's privacy. 1082 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 23: Because there are only ten young men, they will be 1083 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 23: easy to kind of identify if they're going too much detail. 1084 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 23: But what I will say is that I'm really proud 1085 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 23: of these young people, these nine young people who are 1086 00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 23: still continuing today, who have taken on this challenge. I 1087 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,919 Speaker 23: am something different for a better future, and they seem 1088 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 23: to be really enjoying themselves, giving really good feedback about 1089 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,720 Speaker 23: things that they would like more of. And I'm hoping 1090 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 23: that this will continue as positive as it has been. 1091 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 3: What would they like more of? 1092 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 23: Oh, They've already asked physical activities because they seem to 1093 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,280 Speaker 23: be quite popular with the young people. So we're looking 1094 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 23: at ways that we can include more of that. 1095 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,279 Speaker 3: When you say physical activities, Karen, do you mean going 1096 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 3: outside and playing basketball or do you mean doing military drills? 1097 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 23: Oh? I think it might be a bit of both. 1098 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 23: I think they really enjoy they really enjoy obstacle courses 1099 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 23: and the workout programs on the outdoor gym and things 1100 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 23: like that. So I think it's a bit of both. 1101 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 3: Any fighting, not that. 1102 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 23: I'm aware of, and not that I've been told. I'm 1103 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 23: told that there's no safety issues and that they're all 1104 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 23: quite positive. 1105 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 3: I see that they start their day with a set 1106 00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 3: morning routine. They have breakfast, they have a shower, they 1107 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 3: have milky t free style drills, they have daily hygiene 1108 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 3: routines like ensuring the rooms are clean, clothes are ironed, 1109 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 3: and so on, and they have to look respectable themselves 1110 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 3: for I would imagine for many of them, that is 1111 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 3: not the normal start to the day, is it. 1112 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 23: No, this is something new, This is something that they 1113 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 23: probably hadn't had routine like this before in their lives. 1114 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 23: On the first day when they started, I was actually 1115 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 23: really proud of them, standing in their number one is 1116 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 23: ready for their first day, shirts tucked in, all looking 1117 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,919 Speaker 23: very very smart. I'm very very proud of themselves too. 1118 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 23: The smile made it worth it. 1119 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 3: Okay, Karen Listen, thanks for updating us. 1120 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:35,799 Speaker 4: Well. 1121 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,439 Speaker 3: Keep an eye on how things are going. That's Karen Schure, 1122 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,800 Speaker 3: Minister for Children. It's coming up twenty away from six. 1123 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:44,880 Speaker 2: The Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty exceptional marketing 1124 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 2: for every property on. 1125 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 3: The huddle with me. This evening we got Clear Delord, 1126 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 3: journalist and Jack Tame, host of Q and A and 1127 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 3: Saturday Mornings. Hello you too, Hello there, Gilda Claire. 1128 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 20: Were you surprised by the cut and the ocr I 1129 00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,319 Speaker 20: didn't know whether it would happen or not, because I 1130 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:03,440 Speaker 20: listened to everybody and who knows. I mean, the pundits 1131 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 20: seem to be evenly split. But I do know that 1132 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 20: there are lots of small businesses particularly and people with 1133 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,439 Speaker 20: mortgages utterly relieved that it's heading in the right direct. 1134 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,400 Speaker 3: Reason I ask you that is because it feels like 1135 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 3: it goes against Adrian's personality, right, because he's so he 1136 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 3: I mean, I just say it, he's egotistical, right, and 1137 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 3: this is an admission of an error. So I was 1138 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 3: really surprised he did it. 1139 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 20: Well, you know, you can only keep digging so far. Yeah, 1140 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 20: and you have to just stop. And I don't follow 1141 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 20: Adrian or as closely as you do, or Jack but 1142 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 20: it does seem that he's had to reverse gear and 1143 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 20: about time, and. 1144 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 3: For that, Jack, he actually deserves a massive bouquet, doesn't he. 1145 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,799 Speaker 17: Well, yeah, I just feel like with all of these decisions, 1146 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,720 Speaker 17: I want to reserve judgment another six or twelve months 1147 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 17: until we see the full scale of the impacts. And 1148 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 17: this is the problem I mean. I mean, of course, 1149 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 17: as a mortgage holder, I am relieved to see the 1150 00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 17: ocr heading in a more favorable direction. It's we while 1151 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 17: until we kind of see the full impact of that. 1152 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 17: But you know, there were some pretty gloomy news in that, 1153 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,360 Speaker 17: you know, in the MPs today as well, potentially another 1154 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 17: different recession, unemployment higher than it was previously going to be. 1155 00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,920 Speaker 17: So yeah, as pleased as I am it's seeing the 1156 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,359 Speaker 17: ICR at five point two five as opposed to five 1157 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 17: point five, I'm not exactly having a massive party to 1158 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 17: celebrate to that, Claire, I reckon it's. 1159 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 3: Going to change the mood just a little bit, just 1160 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 3: because we know now it's in one direction. 1161 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,720 Speaker 20: Well, you'd have to hope it would, because it's actually 1162 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,799 Speaker 20: quite gloomy out there, it really is, and for some 1163 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,839 Speaker 20: businesses particularly it's not just Auckland, but that's where we 1164 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,680 Speaker 20: happen to be. It's too late. They hung on as. 1165 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 3: Long as they could and it just got too much. 1166 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 20: And we've seen a lot of closures lately of businesses 1167 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 20: that would have probably, you know, wanted to wait another 1168 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:51,760 Speaker 20: week but couldn't. 1169 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 17: Yeah, Jack, Yeah, you say, we know it's heading in 1170 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 17: one direction, and I just I hope you're right. 1171 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 1: Did you get out of. 1172 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,840 Speaker 3: The wrong side of bed today? Did you decide? 1173 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:05,240 Speaker 24: No? 1174 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 2: No? No. 1175 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 17: The only reason I'm saying. 1176 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 3: That is that three hours, Jack, go back and look. 1177 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:12,959 Speaker 17: At the NPS from May. 1178 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 4: Like. 1179 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 17: The thing I found really hard with the Reserve Bank is, 1180 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 17: at least to my untrained eye, it does feel like 1181 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 17: they've kind of lurched in their position over the last 1182 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 17: couple of months. 1183 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,359 Speaker 3: Idiots, Jack and everybody could see that we were way 1184 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:25,800 Speaker 3: more stuff. 1185 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,560 Speaker 1: But you can't. 1186 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 3: You can't do that. We're in recession for a third time. 1187 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 3: Go Jack. 1188 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,960 Speaker 17: Sorry, I think I think it would be extremely unlikely 1189 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 17: and certainly unpopular. All I'm saying is that history has 1190 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 17: taught me anything. The Reserve Bank, at least to my eye, 1191 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,920 Speaker 17: has lurched in its position like quite recently, and I 1192 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 17: wouldn't be one hundred percent confident that they wouldn't do 1193 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 17: it again. That being said, given things are so gloomy 1194 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 17: right now, I certainly feel that the weight of likelihood 1195 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 17: is on a track us. 1196 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 3: You're going to have to make a little shandy this evening, Jack, 1197 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 3: just like a half bear. 1198 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 17: I'm just I'm not trying to get too excited just yet, Okay. 1199 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 17: I mean, if if you're taking one hundred and fifty 1200 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 17: basis points out of it, maybe I'd be celebrating a 1201 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 17: little hard, Claire. 1202 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 20: I was just going to say, you know, there's been 1203 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 20: a real attempt by Adrian order to try and make 1204 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 20: this more cheerful. Yeah, because he said, for example, that 1205 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 20: it's always dark as before the dawn. Yeah, it's not 1206 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 20: that is so wrong, is it not? Is completely wrong? 1207 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 20: It's always darkest at midnight. And you know, I mean 1208 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 20: he's clearly trying to makes all feel better. Yes, but 1209 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,280 Speaker 20: that is probably you know, just note to Adrian. 1210 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,520 Speaker 3: Yep, fair enough. All right, let's take a break, we'll 1211 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 3: come back. We'll talk about what's going on in health 1212 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 3: New Zealand and all the other stuff today sixteen your 1213 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 3: away from six. 1214 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,879 Speaker 2: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's international realty, unparalleled reach 1215 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 2: and results. 1216 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 3: Right, you're back with a huddle, Jack Tayman, Clai Delord, 1217 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 3: Jack Margie Up has gone, isn't she? 1218 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 17: Yeah? It doesn't look great deal. It's pretty extraordinary actually 1219 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 17: see this kind of of level of disconnect between a 1220 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 17: chair and a CEO like this, or commissioner and a 1221 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,840 Speaker 17: CEO rather Yeah, I mean you certainly you know it 1222 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 17: speaks to what is obviously like a massive level of 1223 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,600 Speaker 17: disconnection and discontent within Health New Zealand. But I just 1224 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 17: can't see, given the public nature of this breakdown and 1225 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,440 Speaker 17: their relationship, how that's going to continue. 1226 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 3: I can't see that she can stay Claire, because she 1227 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 3: must have signed off on those plans to cut five 1228 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 3: hundred doctors and fifteen hundred nurses, and that is just 1229 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 3: impossible to comprehend. I don't know that. 1230 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,919 Speaker 20: We don't know that, And I think Lester Levy has 1231 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 20: poured quite a bit of petrel on to the fire here, 1232 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 20: and so I'm not so sure mar Giapra is for 1233 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 20: the hy jump. I do think that what we're seeing 1234 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 20: is a level of self created chaos within health. Yeah, 1235 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,919 Speaker 20: I mean the government has set about these reforms. They're 1236 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 20: doing them so fast, they're stripping out so much so 1237 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 20: quickly that this is like a very severe case of 1238 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 20: speed wobbles, possibly taking out some of the controls, the 1239 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 20: checks and balances, the handbrakes that you know, Winston has 1240 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 20: referred to in terms of what he did with the 1241 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 20: previous government in some policies. And so something gets through, 1242 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 20: slips through, and playing it all up publicly is what 1243 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 20: you would normally not do. You would normally just go 1244 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 20: and crack heads together. But you know, if the behind 1245 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:26,959 Speaker 20: the scenes that is, but you know, you just think, 1246 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 20: if you want to get very fast results, you're taking 1247 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 20: some risks along the way. 1248 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,360 Speaker 3: This is our biggest company, effectively, the whole stagage. 1249 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 20: Margie Upper as CEO of this, has seen god knows 1250 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,959 Speaker 20: how many changes in the time she's been in that job. 1251 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,200 Speaker 20: And I'm not in any way glossing over that paper 1252 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 20: causing some you know, absolute consternation. I'm not sure the 1253 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 20: way to handle it though, is to go raging publicly, 1254 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 20: because there aren't layers of people if she leaves, for example, 1255 00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,520 Speaker 20: there are not layers of people left to come up 1256 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 20: who are is steeped in that So I think financally 1257 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 20: if they should try better to get off. 1258 00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,160 Speaker 3: If you do not believe that that was really happening 1259 00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 3: what was being proposed. Five hundred doctors gone, fifteen hundred 1260 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 3: nurs has gone, then what do you think the point 1261 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,080 Speaker 3: of that proposal was? Was it? Was it an act 1262 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 3: of resistance? 1263 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 20: I don't know in what as less to Levy, he's 1264 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 20: conceded that yes, but he has also said it was 1265 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,280 Speaker 20: an analogy put together by some finance people who are 1266 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 20: famously not well known for you know, sort of tact 1267 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 20: diplomacy necessarily communication skills, or looking at the political fallout. 1268 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 20: So this is now really highly political as it is 1269 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 20: very political, and it's going to take I think, getting 1270 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 20: together with the minister sorting out lines of accountability. But 1271 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 20: right now I don't think the losing Margie Alpha would 1272 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,360 Speaker 20: be the best outcome. 1273 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 17: Oh interesting, Okay, I sorry, I agree with clear on 1274 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 17: that point. I just think the relationship thing is just 1275 00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 17: so problematic right as clearly if you to think about 1276 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,000 Speaker 17: Health New Zealand as our as our largest company and 1277 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 17: think about it in those terms, and to see this 1278 01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:10,360 Speaker 17: kind of you know, these two public positions out of 1279 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 17: Marjapro and that of Lesta Levy being so kind of 1280 01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 17: publicly opposed, or at the very least the Commission taking 1281 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 17: such a strong position publicly supposedly against Marjyapa. I mean, 1282 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:25,760 Speaker 17: that's that's deeply unusual and and and surely isn't at 1283 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 17: all beneficial to the overall organization. It seems extraordinary that 1284 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:30,479 Speaker 17: these kinds of things wouldn't be having. 1285 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 3: So Jackie, you're saying there's a difference between what should 1286 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,680 Speaker 3: happen and what is going to happen. What should happen 1287 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 3: is maybe in your mind she retains the job. What's 1288 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 3: going to happen if she's going to go? 1289 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 17: Yeah, I think I think this is the sort of 1290 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,400 Speaker 17: thing that probably needs to go to a minister, and 1291 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 17: given given the public nature of it, and the minister 1292 01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 17: actually needs to intervene, and as clear as he has 1293 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 17: sought out some really clear lines of not only of 1294 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 17: communication but but of you know, of responsibility. So you 1295 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 17: don't actually have these you don't have these two very 1296 01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,720 Speaker 17: senior people all seemingly working you know, pulling, pulling in 1297 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 17: different directions or working to different ends. 1298 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 3: Clear, does somebody need to write to Wellington Council and 1299 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,920 Speaker 3: tell them there's a cost of living crisis going on. Probably. 1300 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 20: I mean you only go to Wellington, you know, and 1301 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,360 Speaker 20: walk a couple of blocks and you see water pouring 1302 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 20: up out of the foot park being wasted. The bicycle 1303 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 20: wrack seems to be a bit of a Rolls Royce. 1304 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,320 Speaker 20: You don't need a Rolls Royce. If you've got lots 1305 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 20: of bikes, you can just have a little, you know, rack, 1306 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 20: small rack. Those are outside Friburg Pool. They've got those 1307 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 20: metal rakes. You just pop your bike on their chain. 1308 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,960 Speaker 20: It's through the thing, done, no problem. There are trees 1309 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 20: you can use them. 1310 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:36,960 Speaker 3: In times a surplus. 1311 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 20: Yes, you have all of these when we're and it 1312 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 20: looks neat and tidy, and it's a very state of 1313 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 20: the art, and you see them in other places. Other 1314 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,200 Speaker 20: places are wealthier than we are right now as a country. 1315 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,480 Speaker 20: We're actually not in our cities, our major cities are 1316 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:49,960 Speaker 20: not doing much. 1317 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 11: Jack. 1318 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 3: I'm getting a lot of texts saying that these fancy 1319 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,120 Speaker 3: bike racks are all up and down the country, including Auckland. 1320 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 3: Have you got that? Have you beat? Because you're a 1321 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 3: bike boy, have you been using. 1322 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 17: I'm a very keen cyclist and I cannot say that 1323 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 17: I've used them, and as a very keen cyclist, I've 1324 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 17: got to say this kind of thing really annoys me 1325 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 17: because I think it's a waste of money. Like it. 1326 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 17: It doesn't do those of us who like cycling. It 1327 01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 17: doesn't do our cause any good to see this kind 1328 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,200 Speaker 17: of profligate spending. As you say, you can just put 1329 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 17: up a bar. That's that easy. Like how extensive can 1330 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 17: honestly be to put a steel bar in the ground 1331 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 17: for us to lock up to the bike. I don't 1332 01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,760 Speaker 17: care if my biker is standing up right, or if 1333 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 17: it's on the side or whatever. I just want to 1334 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,240 Speaker 17: be able to lock it for something. And it's so 1335 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 17: frustrating to see this kind of thing being financed, like 1336 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,360 Speaker 17: you say, in the middle of the cost of living crisis, 1337 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 17: because it just attracts criticism from people who say we 1338 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 17: shouldn't be putting any money into cycling infrastructure too. 1339 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:44,960 Speaker 8: Right. 1340 01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 3: I just want to make it clear this is not 1341 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,000 Speaker 3: a cycling problem. This is a Wellington City Council problem. Jack, 1342 01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 3: Thank you so much appreciated, Jack Tame, host of Q 1343 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 3: and A and Knows the Saturday Mornings and clear de 1344 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 3: Lord journalist, it's eight away from six. 1345 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 2: Upon your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in 1346 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,240 Speaker 2: your car on your drive home. Heather duple c Allen 1347 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 2: drive with one New zealand one Giant Leap for Business 1348 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 2: News Talk as it be. 1349 01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,320 Speaker 3: Hither, this woman was running one hundred and fifty million 1350 01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 3: dollars every month over budget. Shoot her, now, that's obviously like, 1351 01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 3: that's not that's a metaphorical shooting. That's not a literal shooting. Hither. 1352 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 3: It's rubbish to believe there are no layers of people 1353 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,280 Speaker 3: to replace Margi Upper there's probably at least nine or ten, actually, John, 1354 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,440 Speaker 3: I think what was it like the dispute was over 1355 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 3: whether it's fourteen or twelve. So there are layers. There 1356 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:33,080 Speaker 3: are many, many layers. Look look at it like this, right, 1357 01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:34,520 Speaker 3: how many DHBs did we have? 1358 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 4: Again? 1359 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 3: Was it twenty DHBs? They got Maldon to one. So 1360 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 3: she was one of the DHB bosses, which means that 1361 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,560 Speaker 3: nineteen other DHP bosses didn't get her job. There are 1362 01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,240 Speaker 3: nineteen other people who could take the job, who will 1363 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 3: do a better job than her. And I've spoken to 1364 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 3: people in the health system when Margie got the job, 1365 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 3: they were like, Margie got the job, really, So I 1366 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:57,040 Speaker 3: think you're from the start, from the start. Now we're 1367 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 3: going to talk to ASB next after six o'clock. Not 1368 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 3: great news for them because the profit is down seven percent. 1369 01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,360 Speaker 3: That's basically the high interest rate environment at acting there. 1370 01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 3: People aren't borrowing as much. Blah blah blah. But it's 1371 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,479 Speaker 3: great news for the chief executive because Victoria has gone 1372 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,960 Speaker 3: from earning just two million last year to five million 1373 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,960 Speaker 3: this year. Now, how do you go from two to 1374 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 3: five in one year? I think we all want to know. 1375 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 3: I'm going to ask. I know it's akey talking about money, 1376 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,600 Speaker 3: about that kind of stuff, but I've got no shame, 1377 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,560 Speaker 3: and so I'm going to ask her that question when 1378 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 3: we talked to her shortly. Can I just tell you 1379 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,560 Speaker 3: really quickly on the Olympians, because I can't get enough 1380 01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 3: of them at the moment. I find it amazing what 1381 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 3: the Olympians get from their different countries as a reward 1382 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:38,960 Speaker 3: for getting the medal. Because I don't know if you 1383 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 3: realize this, but they get the medal, that's not the 1384 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 3: only thing they get. They get a bonus often. So 1385 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 3: for example, here in New Zealand, we give our gold 1386 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 3: medalists sixty thousand dollars and then we also give us 1387 01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 3: silver and bronze medalists fifty five thousand dollars each, which 1388 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 3: is pretty cool, and it's on par with America they 1389 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 3: give their gold medalists sixty two thousand dollars. But we 1390 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 3: are very much at the low end of things. The 1391 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 3: middle range is places like France they give the gold 1392 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,240 Speaker 3: medalists about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Now that's 1393 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 3: big money, right. It's not in Victoria from asb obviously. 1394 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,360 Speaker 3: But then the really really high end is India, of 1395 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:16,120 Speaker 3: all places, they give them three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Kazakhstan, 1396 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,640 Speaker 3: can you believe it is super generous four hundred and 1397 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:24,160 Speaker 3: fifteen thousand dollars, but nothing on Hong Kong one point 1398 01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 3: two eight million dollars, Singapore one point two five million dollars. 1399 01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 3: But it doesn't just end with money. Kazakhstan also gives 1400 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 3: their winners apartments. South Korea gives their winners exemption from 1401 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:40,920 Speaker 3: nearly two years of compulsory military training. The Philippines, they 1402 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 3: get money, plus a house and a lot, a two 1403 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:46,200 Speaker 3: bedroom condomonium, around thirty thousand dollars worth of furniture, a 1404 01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 3: lifetime supply of cookies and free meals for life from 1405 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:53,240 Speaker 3: several local restaurants. Indonesia they get five cows a meatball 1406 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 3: restaurant in a new house. I'm not making this up. 1407 01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,560 Speaker 3: And in Japan, one medalist in silver got one hundred 1408 01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 3: bags of rice. One of my great grandparents was Filipino. 1409 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 3: That sounds great. I want my co I know I 1410 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,480 Speaker 3: one hundred percent have got citizenship now ASB. 1411 01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 1: Next, what what's down on? 1412 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 2: What were the major calls and how will it affect 1413 01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:18,520 Speaker 2: the economy of the big business questions on the Business 1414 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 2: Hour with Heather Duplicy Allen and my Hr on News Talk. 1415 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 3: SEB even in coming up in the next hour. Janetip 1416 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,520 Speaker 3: Shraney was in the Adrian All Press conference today. We'll 1417 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,920 Speaker 3: have chatter about it shortly Caitlin Park and Milford Asset Management. 1418 01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,480 Speaker 3: With the market reaction to the ocr dropping and you 1419 01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 3: and McDonald out of Ukraine. We're going to ask him 1420 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 3: how much pressure that invasion of Russia is putting on putin. 1421 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,520 Speaker 3: It's coming up eight past six now. ASB started slashing 1422 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,320 Speaker 3: its mortgage interest rates, one of three banks just minutes 1423 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 3: after the Reserve Bank dropped the official cash rate by 1424 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 3: a quarter of a percent this afternoon. It's been a 1425 01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 3: big day for ASB. Earlier this morning it announced its 1426 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 3: run of record profits is over and your profit dropped 1427 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 3: seven percent from last year's record high. It's now down 1428 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,640 Speaker 3: to one point five five nine billion dollars in the 1429 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 3: year to the end of June. Victoria Short is asb's 1430 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 3: chief executive. Hey Vittoria, Hey Heather, were you surprised by 1431 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:08,000 Speaker 3: the cut today? 1432 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,880 Speaker 24: Well, actually, our ASP economics team we're picking a twenty 1433 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,920 Speaker 24: five basis point cut, acknowledged it was going to be 1434 01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 24: finally balanced, but it is what they were picking. So 1435 01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 24: I think it's good news for New Zealand. 1436 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,080 Speaker 3: Did you not, though, find yourself doing this because I 1437 01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,760 Speaker 3: did and thinking, yeah, it should be a cart. Everything 1438 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 3: shows it should be a cat. But Adrian's got an ego. 1439 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 24: I think we looked at the fundamental around you know, 1440 01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,000 Speaker 24: we go back to why have the interest rates been 1441 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,240 Speaker 24: held high to get inflation under control? And that's the 1442 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 24: number one priority for all of us. So you know, 1443 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,160 Speaker 24: we've seen inflation coming down. The big question is is 1444 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:50,240 Speaker 24: it going to be coming down sustainably to a low 1445 01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,960 Speaker 24: enough level? And that seems to be occurring, which is great. 1446 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:58,080 Speaker 24: But there's one call out that I think was important 1447 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 24: in the sort of judgment, and that's material weakening of 1448 01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 24: the domestic economic activity. So I think they are you know, 1449 01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,080 Speaker 24: they're calling that out as one of the reasons for 1450 01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 24: the cat so we can't walk past that. 1451 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,360 Speaker 3: No, that's fair enough. I see you guys cut your 1452 01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 3: rates obviously immediately, which is great, But why are they 1453 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 3: only taking effect next week? 1454 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:22,640 Speaker 24: Yeah, we've got a little bit of time. We've got 1455 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,240 Speaker 24: sort of some legal processes, which means that we have 1456 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 24: to adjust terms and conditions and make sure we get 1457 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:30,680 Speaker 24: all of our disclosures are ready to go, and so 1458 01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,799 Speaker 24: that's why there's a little bit of a lag between 1459 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:37,280 Speaker 24: the announcement and when they are effective. 1460 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 3: Is it a relief to you? I mean, obviously, you 1461 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,400 Speaker 3: guys have this high interest rate environment has been heading 1462 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:44,639 Speaker 3: your profits. So are you relieved? 1463 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 4: So? 1464 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 24: I think it's a really good thing for New Zealand 1465 01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:53,599 Speaker 24: households and New Zealand businesses. So we've already been reducing 1466 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 24: our fixed home loan rates. We started doing that last year, 1467 01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:01,400 Speaker 24: so we've reduced them already by sixty basis points. So 1468 01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 24: this is really a continuation for us, But I think 1469 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:10,679 Speaker 24: what it's signaling for the country is that inflation's getting 1470 01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,599 Speaker 24: under control and therefore the ocr can start to come down, 1471 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 24: and that's a really important signal. 1472 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 25: Are you of the. 1473 01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,720 Speaker 3: View that we need to also temper our expectations though? 1474 01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 3: Is everybody's going to get super excited about this, but 1475 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 3: actually it's going to take us a while to build 1476 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:24,400 Speaker 3: ourselves back up. 1477 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:26,559 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1478 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 24: Look, we you know to your point, it is going 1479 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:33,720 Speaker 24: to take time for this to really flow through the economy. 1480 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,000 Speaker 24: We are thinking that twenty twenty five is going to 1481 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:41,280 Speaker 24: be a really different year. We are expecting that credit 1482 01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 24: growth to build for businesses. We are expecting there to 1483 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 24: be upward pressure on homelan prices as a result. So 1484 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,680 Speaker 24: we do think it's going to build over time, and 1485 01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:53,840 Speaker 24: we don't think this is the last cat either. 1486 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:56,800 Speaker 3: What are you expecting before the end of the year 1487 01:09:56,800 --> 01:10:00,680 Speaker 3: another twenty five basis points. 1488 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 24: Yes, so at this stage where we're still calibrating and 1489 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 24: will definitely depend on the data and how we see 1490 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:09,680 Speaker 24: the data evolving on inflation and also you know, economic activity. 1491 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,720 Speaker 24: But we have about another fifty basis points that we 1492 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:15,200 Speaker 24: think could come out before Christmas. 1493 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,840 Speaker 3: Now Victoria. Listen, you got the ComCom report coming out 1494 01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:19,720 Speaker 3: next week, the banking report. Are you guys going to 1495 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:20,360 Speaker 3: get hammered in this? 1496 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 11: Well? 1497 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:25,320 Speaker 24: I think the interesting question is how different is the 1498 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,559 Speaker 24: final report going to be from the draft report? And 1499 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,000 Speaker 24: I guess the only person who can answer that is 1500 01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 24: really the head of ComCom. 1501 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,000 Speaker 3: What have you heard. 1502 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,679 Speaker 24: Nothing from ComCom? So you know we'll all be revealed 1503 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 24: next week? 1504 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 3: Are you going to get hammered by the government with 1505 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 3: its rural banking report? 1506 01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 24: I'm really looking forward to to sort of answering some 1507 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 24: of the questions that have been asked about the rules sector, 1508 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 24: but also about business lending too. So just like the 1509 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 24: market study, I think it's a really good opportunity to 1510 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,880 Speaker 24: get you know, the right questions on the table and really, 1511 01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 24: you know, get into them. 1512 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:02,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, why do you want to answer those questions? 1513 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 3: Is it because people have got themselves worked up unfairly 1514 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:06,720 Speaker 3: about you guys? 1515 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 1: Oh? 1516 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,720 Speaker 24: Look, I think there's a lot of things that I 1517 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 24: hear that I've got a view on, and so it's 1518 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,439 Speaker 24: going to be a good chance to actually share those 1519 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 24: views and that's the whole point of it. 1520 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 3: As a KIWI, do you support the capitalization of kiwibank. 1521 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,200 Speaker 24: Ah, I don't think Kvybank's a good topic for me. 1522 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:32,720 Speaker 24: So that's something that's the best less with those who 1523 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,080 Speaker 24: are in charge of that decision. 1524 01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,360 Speaker 3: Fair point. Hey, listen, I've got to ask you. I mean, 1525 01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 3: this is a key and I'm sorry and nobody likes 1526 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:39,800 Speaker 3: talking about their pay but I've got to ask you 1527 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,519 Speaker 3: about it. How did you go Vitoria from two million 1528 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,559 Speaker 3: to five million in the space of a year. 1529 01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,400 Speaker 24: Yeah, look, this year in terms of my rem it's 1530 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:54,680 Speaker 24: a highly unusual rem it enclodes payments related to multiple 1531 01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,760 Speaker 24: years since twenty nineteen. But what you're really getting at 1532 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 24: is it, you know, and I recognized this that executive 1533 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:07,720 Speaker 24: room is controversial and particularly in this environment. So it's 1534 01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,959 Speaker 24: set by the board and it's based on the market benchmark, 1535 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 24: and that's you know, that's really the approach to the 1536 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:13,879 Speaker 24: board takes. 1537 01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 3: Not at all what I was getting at. I was 1538 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,760 Speaker 3: just trying to get a tip from you on how. 1539 01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:18,040 Speaker 11: To do it. 1540 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:23,960 Speaker 24: Well, it's like I say, it's it's a strange year 1541 01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,519 Speaker 24: and it's multiple years starting from twenty nineteen. So the 1542 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 24: team content through some data if you're interested. 1543 01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, and who am I kidding. I'm not up five 1544 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,840 Speaker 3: million dollars in the media. Jeez, Vittoria, thank you very much. 1545 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 3: Victoria short asb's chief executive Listen got some numbers potentially 1546 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 3: for how much Contact and Genesis paid methodics for that 1547 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,720 Speaker 3: that gas, I'll do it next. I'll give you all. 1548 01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,439 Speaker 3: What I mean is, I'll give you the details next 1549 01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:47,759 Speaker 3: fourteen past six. 1550 01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:52,679 Speaker 2: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's Heather Duplicy 1551 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:56,160 Speaker 2: Ellen with the Business Hour thanks to my HR, the 1552 01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,840 Speaker 2: HR platform for SME on news talksb Hey. 1553 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,160 Speaker 3: Using an employee can be tricky, whether it's for poor 1554 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,000 Speaker 3: performance or inappropriate behavior or whatever. You need to make 1555 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,040 Speaker 3: sure that you meet your legal obligations or it could 1556 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,840 Speaker 3: end up costing the business. In all circumstances, if you 1557 01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,560 Speaker 3: want to move an employee on, you need solid justification 1558 01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 3: and you have to consult with them before you make 1559 01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 3: a final decision. I mean, even if it's a clear 1560 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:21,680 Speaker 3: case of serious misconduct, a person's still entitled to participate 1561 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 3: in a fair process regarding their dismissal. So to help 1562 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,200 Speaker 3: employers manage these terminations with a minimum of fuss, MYHR 1563 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 3: is holding a webinar on ending employment on Wednesday, the 1564 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,160 Speaker 3: twenty first of August.

Now a 1570 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:52,559 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Or had to do a fair 1571 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,400 Speaker 3: bit of gymnastics today to explain the cut to the 1572 01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:56,440 Speaker 3: official cash. 1573 01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,000 Speaker 10: Rate and if the goal of monetary policy in this 1574 01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,200 Speaker 10: situation is for soft landing, can you say you've actually 1575 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:02,680 Speaker 10: delivered that? 1576 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,160 Speaker 7: And I don't know how to answer your other question 1577 01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,640 Speaker 7: really so yeah. 1578 01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,560 Speaker 3: Genetive Trainey is The Herald's Wellington Business editor. She was 1579 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,679 Speaker 3: in the room this afternoon. Adan a hey, Heather couldn't 1580 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,360 Speaker 3: say he got it wrong the way. 1581 01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 25: No, he didn't want to say he got it wrong. 1582 01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,040 Speaker 25: So the question that I asked the governor was back 1583 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,040 Speaker 25: in May when the Reserve Bank suggested the OCI would 1584 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 25: only be cut later next year. Was the Reserve Bank 1585 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,679 Speaker 25: wrong in May? Or was it bluffing? Was it draw boning, 1586 01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,080 Speaker 25: was it trying to talk the market into keeping interest 1587 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 25: rates elevated? And adrianal said. What he did say was 1588 01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,880 Speaker 25: that no, they weren't bluffing, that they weren't you just 1589 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,879 Speaker 25: trying to talk the market into doing what it wanted. 1590 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,479 Speaker 25: But rather than the economic data that has come out 1591 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,800 Speaker 25: since May has suggested that there's the economy is quite 1592 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 25: a bit weaker than expected, and hence the reason that 1593 01:14:56,240 --> 01:15:01,759 Speaker 25: the IRBNZ cut today and has projected further cuts twenty 1594 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 25: five basis points, you know, at each next meeting. 1595 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 3: His argument basically came down to things have changed so 1596 01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,840 Speaker 3: much between May and August that suddenly a cut was 1597 01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,160 Speaker 3: on was on the cards and actually happening. Do you 1598 01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 3: buy that? 1599 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,240 Speaker 25: Look, I think the consensus among economists was that the 1600 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:23,120 Speaker 25: Reserve Bank was wrong in May. So back then the 1601 01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:27,759 Speaker 25: economy was not performing strongly. You know, anyone who walks 1602 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 25: around town or you know, is trying to manage their 1603 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,240 Speaker 25: budget or whatever realizes that that things are not not great. 1604 01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,320 Speaker 25: But the Reserve Bank was an outlier at that point. 1605 01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,919 Speaker 25: It didn't seem to recognize the weakness and the economy 1606 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 25: to the extent that everyone else did. I mean, markets 1607 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 25: back then we were pricing in cuts as well, so 1608 01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 25: you know, they were shocked that the Reserve Bank thought 1609 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:52,400 Speaker 25: the ocr might need to be hiked again. So I 1610 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:56,320 Speaker 25: think the consensus ABI and Z was wrong back in May. 1611 01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Hey, I was actually quite impressed 1612 01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,120 Speaker 3: with how he handled it because he is known to 1613 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,479 Speaker 3: like me, he wears his emotions quite close to the skin. 1614 01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 22: Yeah. 1615 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,559 Speaker 25: Look, I mean this is the thing. So I think 1616 01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:09,559 Speaker 25: there's two schools of thought have come out of this 1617 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,559 Speaker 25: flip flop situation. You have people like Brad Olsen, the 1618 01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:16,280 Speaker 25: Infametrix economists, who think the Reserve Bank's credibility has been 1619 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 25: eroded because it's changed its positions so drastically in such 1620 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,439 Speaker 25: a short space of time. So how do we know 1621 01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 25: when it has these projections? Are they really projections or 1622 01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,679 Speaker 25: is it just kind of like basically trying to talk 1623 01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,920 Speaker 25: the market this way that way. Then you have other 1624 01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:35,559 Speaker 25: economists like bean Zed's Stephen Topless, and he says, well, yep, 1625 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,280 Speaker 25: probably got it wrong in May, but actually really good 1626 01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:42,640 Speaker 25: that they're correcting their position now, because in Stephen Topless's view, 1627 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 25: at least a cut was definitely the right call to 1628 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 25: make today and actually should have been made earlier. So 1629 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:51,960 Speaker 25: I think it is an interesting tension as to how 1630 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:54,680 Speaker 25: how critical you want what you want to be of 1631 01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,200 Speaker 25: the Irby and Z. The other thing I would point 1632 01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 25: out is that they've started putting emphasis on different data. Previously, 1633 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:03,519 Speaker 25: it sounded like the Reserve Bank put emphasis on the 1634 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:07,639 Speaker 25: CPI inflation data, the GDP data, the Tier one data. 1635 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,040 Speaker 25: Now it sounds like they're putting a bit more emphasis 1636 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:13,280 Speaker 25: on on the business confidence surveys, the Tier two data, 1637 01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,680 Speaker 25: some of the more real time information about how the 1638 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,280 Speaker 25: economy is going. That's the sort of that's the sort 1639 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:23,800 Speaker 25: of information that that markets track really closely. That is perhaps, yeah, 1640 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 25: perhaps a wee change of approach there. 1641 01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,240 Speaker 3: That was very interesting. I noticed that as well, Jennay, 1642 01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:29,839 Speaker 3: thank you so much. Change of training the Herald's Wellington 1643 01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,320 Speaker 3: Business editor here the amazing how the banks can increase 1644 01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:33,960 Speaker 3: rates immediately, but it takes them a week or so 1645 01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:35,920 Speaker 3: to drop them for legal reasons. My ass, I think 1646 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,120 Speaker 3: you're onto something. They're joe an actually because kee we Bank. 1647 01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:40,840 Speaker 3: I stand to be corrected, but they and A and 1648 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:42,960 Speaker 3: Z also drop their rates today, and I don't see 1649 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 3: any disclaimer saying you have to wait till next week 1650 01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,720 Speaker 3: to lock into those ones. And look, that may be 1651 01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,439 Speaker 3: that maybe Keywi Bank and A and Z were anticipating this, 1652 01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:51,680 Speaker 3: so I got their ducks in a row for the 1653 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 3: potential to do that. Maybe, but I'm suspicious like you 1654 01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,840 Speaker 3: speaking of suspicious. Looks like our suspicions were right. Yes, 1655 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,920 Speaker 3: today that Contact and Genesis have had to pay through 1656 01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:06,000 Speaker 3: the nose to buy that gas that Methinx is now 1657 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 3: not using because it's shut itself down until the end 1658 01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:11,559 Speaker 3: of October. Theyan still refusing to say how much they've paid. 1659 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 3: But Business Desk has done some back of the envelope calculations, 1660 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,760 Speaker 3: so they looked at what Methinix reported last quarter, its 1661 01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:21,639 Speaker 3: New Zealand operation produced one hundred and seventy eight thousand 1662 01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,360 Speaker 3: tons of methanol. Its global average price was five hundred 1663 01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,160 Speaker 3: and eighty three eighty four dollars a ton, So basically 1664 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,040 Speaker 3: do the maths and it indicates earnings of about one 1665 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,800 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars about one hundred and three million dollars. Now, 1666 01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:37,040 Speaker 3: Methinex has said by shutting down and on selling the gas, 1667 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,599 Speaker 3: they make more than they would have made by selling it. 1668 01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,519 Speaker 3: So Contact and Genesis have between themselves based on this 1669 01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 3: paid methin x more than one hundred and three million 1670 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 3: dollars for the gas, which is a big price tag 1671 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 3: six twenty. 1672 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:54,719 Speaker 2: Two, whether it's macro, MicroB for just plain economics, it's 1673 01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,760 Speaker 2: all on the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy Allen and 1674 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 2: my HR, the HR platform for SIP hither. 1675 01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,160 Speaker 3: I wish you talk about TSP as well. They dropped 1676 01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 3: their rates today. They are a new Zealand bank. We 1677 01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:07,920 Speaker 3: should be supporting them. They actually fair point, they actually 1678 01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,600 Speaker 3: dropped their rates yesterday. The bank they, as far as 1679 01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:12,160 Speaker 3: I can tell, the only bank they dropped their rates 1680 01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,559 Speaker 3: in anticipation of what might happen tomorrow today. So of 1681 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:17,479 Speaker 3: all the banks with courage, it was them right now 1682 01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 3: at six twenty five. Now, Caitlin Parker Milford Act Management 1683 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 3: is with us a Kitlin hiream. I'm very well. Thank you. 1684 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,679 Speaker 3: Had the markets react to the ocr cut. 1685 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,760 Speaker 26: Yeah, Look, interest rates across the current we saw them 1686 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 26: move lower about point one percent or so on the 1687 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,840 Speaker 26: back of THEOCAR quit today. But interest rates have already. 1688 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 17: Moved significantly lower in the lead up to this meeting. 1689 01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,720 Speaker 26: So you know, take the two year interest rate, the 1690 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 26: swap rate. That's a real bell weather from mortgage rates 1691 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,599 Speaker 26: that was down close to a percent over the past 1692 01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,680 Speaker 26: next weeks feeding into the meeting today. So we had 1693 01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,920 Speaker 26: already seen you know, decent moves lower in interest rates. 1694 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:56,680 Speaker 26: And then I think about currency, and if we think 1695 01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,880 Speaker 26: about the New Zealand dollar no versus the Aussie dollar, 1696 01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,400 Speaker 26: you would expect that it's going to pretty strong given 1697 01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,280 Speaker 26: we now have diverging monetary policies. So New Zealand has 1698 01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 26: embarked on this cutting cycle versus our neighbors and Aussie 1699 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 26: are now remaining. 1700 01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:09,120 Speaker 17: Firmly on a hold as it is. 1701 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:11,760 Speaker 26: But I would expect of these market reactions that they 1702 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,719 Speaker 26: will likely extend over the next twelve twenty four hours 1703 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,360 Speaker 26: as offshore markets get involved and digest the cut today. 1704 01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,160 Speaker 3: All right now, on the sheer market, we've got a 1705 01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 3: lot of interest rates seen sortive companies and so I 1706 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,599 Speaker 3: imagine this would be a welcome relief to them. 1707 01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:27,799 Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, definitely. So you know, in particular, property companies, 1708 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:32,479 Speaker 26: retirement villages, retailers, their serprise, their movement, in their surprise, 1709 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:34,400 Speaker 26: they're all seeing the benefit of that cut. Today, we 1710 01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,680 Speaker 26: really saw in particular names that were quite beaten up 1711 01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 26: going for the duration of this year and pretty unloved. 1712 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,559 Speaker 26: We saw them come back into favor. So names like 1713 01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,800 Speaker 26: key Meet Property Group end of the day up about 1714 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,759 Speaker 26: five and a half percent, Catman Do up about seven percent, 1715 01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,360 Speaker 26: and that was going in comparison to the overall New 1716 01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 26: Zealand share market, which end of the day up about 1717 01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,639 Speaker 26: a percent and a half. So good performance from those 1718 01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,040 Speaker 26: right sensitive companies and taking back a bit of the 1719 01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,679 Speaker 26: underperformance that we've already seen today. 1720 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,640 Speaker 3: So the fact that we're cutting rights already and that 1721 01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,479 Speaker 3: the forecast is that these right cats will keep on coming, 1722 01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 3: do you think this is going to cushion the blow 1723 01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:09,639 Speaker 3: to the economy. 1724 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,560 Speaker 26: Yeah, Look, it's something that only time will tell. And 1725 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,040 Speaker 26: Governer Orders said today that we're likely in the darkest 1726 01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:18,880 Speaker 26: period right now. So you know, granted we have had 1727 01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:22,320 Speaker 26: technical recessions, but ultimately for the most part and in 1728 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,000 Speaker 26: terms of the hard data that we get, we have 1729 01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,719 Speaker 26: avoided that hard landing with everything coming crashing down at once. 1730 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:32,000 Speaker 26: But our data is lagging in terms of you know, GDP, 1731 01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:36,639 Speaker 26: unemployment and inflation and risks really are pointing towards worsening 1732 01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:39,000 Speaker 26: the economies and pressures are really mounting. You know, we 1733 01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 26: know unemployment is climbing, growth is negative and it's likely 1734 01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,639 Speaker 26: to remain. So the housing markets muted, and we migration 1735 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,280 Speaker 26: falling with the mass exodus of Kiwis to Uzzi. So 1736 01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 26: you know, even if we look externally, the US is 1737 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,880 Speaker 26: slowing and China is pretty looked in to start stimulating 1738 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,720 Speaker 26: its economy. So there is a real chance that the 1739 01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 26: Urbians that you know, we were the first to hike, 1740 01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,080 Speaker 26: they could be too late. Don't into cut today, and 1741 01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:03,160 Speaker 26: we could already have a lot of damage done to 1742 01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 26: the economy. But you know, unfortunately, only time is going 1743 01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:06,959 Speaker 26: to tell Yeah. 1744 01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 3: Hey, Caitlyn, thanks for running us through that, man. I 1745 01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:10,879 Speaker 3: really appreciate it.

So 1748 01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 3: we'll find out exactly how long this is likely to last. 1749 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:22,799 Speaker 3: I mean we're talking days and weeks, not really months. 1750 01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 3: How long it's likely to last last, how much pressure 1751 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:28,479 Speaker 3: it's putting on poos and what happens next. Headline's next. 1752 01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:39,240 Speaker 2: Everything from SMEs to the big corporates.

Ten minutes yesterday I warned 1758 01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:10,439 Speaker 3: you that the media we're going to start feeding us 1759 01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 3: a little diet of SOB stories from beneficiary's being punished 1760 01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,360 Speaker 3: by this heartless government. And what do we have today? 1761 01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,400 Speaker 3: The first of them a SOB story about a beneficiary 1762 01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 3: being punished by this heartless government. But the best bit 1763 01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 3: about this is it's actually wrong. So I'm going to 1764 01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:27,240 Speaker 3: run you through that very shortly.

Now Ukraine reckons 1769 01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,040 Speaker 3: it's in control of seventy four Russian settlements in the 1770 01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 3: Kursk region. The governor of the Russian governor of the 1771 01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,120 Speaker 3: border area has declared a region wide state of emergency. 1772 01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 3: He's appealing to potent declare a federal emergency situation. You 1773 01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,519 Speaker 3: McDonald is the editor of New Voice of Ukraine and 1774 01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 3: is with us from Kiev. Hey ewan. 1775 01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:55,120 Speaker 27: Hella. 1776 01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:57,680 Speaker 3: Sounds like this was possible because Russia got a bit 1777 01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 3: complacent and wasn't guarding its own border properly. Is that 1778 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:00,960 Speaker 3: what happened? 1779 01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,200 Speaker 27: Possibly the Russia has thrown a lot of its main 1780 01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:10,320 Speaker 27: troops into battle in the Dombas in the south and 1781 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 27: east of Ukraine, and I don't think it was expecting 1782 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:14,759 Speaker 27: an attack across its border. 1783 01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,680 Speaker 3: So the point of what Ukraine is trying to do 1784 01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:22,120 Speaker 3: is essentially draw resources over to another area. Right therefore, 1785 01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:24,880 Speaker 3: drawing resources at Russian resources out of Ukraine. Is it 1786 01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 3: going to work? 1787 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,360 Speaker 27: It seems to be, because there are reports that Russia 1788 01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,920 Speaker 27: has moved some of its units away from its own 1789 01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:38,240 Speaker 27: incursion into Ukrainian territory in the northeast of Ukraine near Kharkiv. 1790 01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:41,160 Speaker 27: Some of the units are there supposed to be heading 1791 01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 27: towards Coursk at the moment, as according to reports by 1792 01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:49,879 Speaker 27: Russian million bloggers military bloggers. So this could be happening. 1793 01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:50,959 Speaker 4: It could be part. 1794 01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:54,080 Speaker 27: Of the reason why the incursion was launched, but it 1795 01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:58,439 Speaker 27: also could be a way to gain some leverage against 1796 01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,439 Speaker 27: Russia in future. Piece top if there's going to be 1797 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 27: an exchange of land, right. 1798 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 3: Is that a realistic possibility because the I mean, this 1799 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:09,840 Speaker 3: is what we're looking at with a potential Trump presidency 1800 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,400 Speaker 3: right there, he forces them to give up land and 1801 01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,120 Speaker 3: sue for peace. Is this Zelensky preparing for that? 1802 01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 27: Yes, it would be because if the lines were frozen 1803 01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,280 Speaker 27: as before, that would have left Russia in control of 1804 01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:29,519 Speaker 27: Ukrainian territory and Ukraine not with any Russian territory to control. 1805 01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,800 Speaker 27: So this may be a way of Ukraine hedging that 1806 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 27: against that by taking control of some Ukraine of Russian 1807 01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 27: territory in order to make it more difficult for Russia 1808 01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:45,320 Speaker 27: simply to freeze the lines, take effective control fully of 1809 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:50,960 Speaker 27: Ukrainian territory, and then later if going by past experience, 1810 01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:54,160 Speaker 27: Russia restart the war and take more territory. 1811 01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 3: You and that would require, though the Ukrainians to stay 1812 01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,240 Speaker 3: there for potentially months. Have they got the ability to 1813 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:00,519 Speaker 3: do that? 1814 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 4: Well? 1815 01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,840 Speaker 27: The pocket in Kursk is still expanding as far as 1816 01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,320 Speaker 27: we can tell from the reports coming out at least 1817 01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:16,120 Speaker 27: from the Russian side from independent military bloggers. What they 1818 01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,639 Speaker 27: could be doing is taking as much territory as they can, 1819 01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:23,360 Speaker 27: then digging in preparing defensive positions and then they'll fall 1820 01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,879 Speaker 27: back to those, and it seems it could be possible 1821 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:29,679 Speaker 27: that they would hold territory because the lines in Ukraine 1822 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,600 Speaker 27: have been pretty static for the last year and a 1823 01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 27: half or so, in fact, almost since the September of 1824 01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 27: twenty twenty two, when the last big Ukrainian offensive that 1825 01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:45,280 Speaker 27: took territory in Kharkiv Oblast happened. Since then, the lines 1826 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 27: have been pretty static, and if Ukraine can establish new 1827 01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 27: lines in Russia, it might be able to stay there 1828 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 27: for a while. 1829 01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,640 Speaker 3: Right, is there any risk here to Ukraine? I mean, 1830 01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:55,080 Speaker 3: it was pointed out to me that part of the 1831 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,479 Speaker 3: risk that they now face is that if they are 1832 01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:01,519 Speaker 3: affecting civilians with their attack, that might be used as 1833 01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:03,800 Speaker 3: propaganda against them. 1834 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,880 Speaker 27: It undoubtedly will be used as propaganda against them, but 1835 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:11,960 Speaker 27: it's also good peeking or for Ukraine's side to show 1836 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,240 Speaker 27: that it can still go on the offensive. It's taken 1837 01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:17,760 Speaker 27: the initiative back from Russia basically at the moment, because 1838 01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,479 Speaker 27: Russia was attacking all the time for most of this year, 1839 01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,920 Speaker 27: and it was it was seeming like Ukraine was losing 1840 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:27,040 Speaker 27: that was in territory all the time. Now they've reversed 1841 01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:31,240 Speaker 27: that narrative, and they've shown that Russia is not able 1842 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:35,639 Speaker 27: to protect us on borders. They've made Putin's regime look weak, 1843 01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:39,760 Speaker 27: and they've shown that they've shown the Russians that the 1844 01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:41,960 Speaker 27: war can come to them, it can affect them. 1845 01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:44,360 Speaker 3: You and thank you very much for un us. It's 1846 01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:45,840 Speaker 3: good to talk to you again. Look after yourself.

The problem 1868 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:45,799 Speaker 3: is nobody invited Wayne Brown to the New Zealand Maryal Forum. 1869 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting. 1870 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 13: So that the en Year Zealand bring the mayors for 1871 01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:53,559 Speaker 13: the two Thursdy of Year Zealand and I'm not the 1872 01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,920 Speaker 13: mayor of it need to my town and I have 1873 01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:57,120 Speaker 13: no idea about it. 1874 01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,360 Speaker 4: That's going on next door, so you should pop up. 1875 01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:01,960 Speaker 13: Well, I don't take it fly in New Zealand again, 1876 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,800 Speaker 13: he actually walk, but it's typical of a kind of 1877 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,400 Speaker 13: a government owned thing like in New Zealand. I suppose 1878 01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 13: I haven't quite forgiven them for turning off the flights 1879 01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:11,679 Speaker 13: to Kai Tire. 1880 01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 3: Wayne is now less of a fan of in New 1881 01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 3: Zealand than he already was. He has not flown in 1882 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:18,559 Speaker 3: New Zealand in a long time. 1883 01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 13: I haven't actually phone and on the New Zealand since 1884 01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,639 Speaker 13: I've been the mayor.

And I don't have a beer together. 1894 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:51,680 Speaker 13: Quite often people dropped the drinks when I see it's 1895 01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:55,840 Speaker 13: in the pub. And so in terms of green and so, 1896 01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:57,680 Speaker 13: I'm more green than she is. I walked to work 1897 01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:59,479 Speaker 13: and she gets in an aeroplane and goes to work. 1898 01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:04,080 Speaker 3: Oh hold my beer. That what a great sledge.

I don't think so. 1912 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:43,880 Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like I feel like Wayne 1913 01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:45,880 Speaker 3: is one of those interviewers where you'd go in and 1914 01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:47,400 Speaker 3: you'd be like, that's just Wayne. We're just going for 1915 01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,720 Speaker 3: a chat and next minute you're talking about something that 1916 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,559 Speaker 3: you did that when you were drunk twenty years ago, 1917 01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:54,479 Speaker 3: and you know, like he's gonna get stuff out of you. 1918 01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:56,400 Speaker 9: Shoot more we talk about that. 1919 01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:59,040 Speaker 3: I think I think I am making myself quite appealing 1920 01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:00,800 Speaker 3: to him. But I think pretty much my boss, who 1921 01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,280 Speaker 3: will undoubtedly be listening, is at this moment going and 1922 01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,960 Speaker 3: when she sees that to his pa, absolutely a no. 1923 01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:08,680 Speaker 3: Kevin Gray nixt quarter to two. 1924 01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 1: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1925 01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:16,080 Speaker 2: The Business Hour with Hither Duplicy Ellen and my HR, 1926 01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:19,120 Speaker 2: the HR platform for SME US talk, said. 1927 01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:22,200 Speaker 3: B Kevin Gray. Are UK correspondents with us right now? Hey, Kevin, 1928 01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,720 Speaker 3: either yes, but worrying? Are you your inflation rate's gone 1929 01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:26,080 Speaker 3: up again. 1930 01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:30,080 Speaker 28: Yes, it has, only a little bit, and it was predicted, 1931 01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:32,920 Speaker 28: but it is bad news. Prices have risen by two 1932 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,920 Speaker 28: point two percent in the year to July. That's up 1933 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:39,439 Speaker 28: from two percent, and it's two point zero percent, which 1934 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:42,000 Speaker 28: is the official target of the Bank of England. So 1935 01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:45,160 Speaker 28: although this was widely expected, it's thought largely to be 1936 01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:49,479 Speaker 28: due to prices of gas and electricity falling by less 1937 01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,240 Speaker 28: than they did a year before, so it's kind of 1938 01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:56,479 Speaker 28: an odd anomaly. The Bank does expect inflation to rise 1939 01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:59,439 Speaker 28: further this year before falling back again, and of course 1940 01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:03,840 Speaker 28: that's because we have had one interest rate cup only 1941 01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:06,880 Speaker 28: a little bit, but the first one for many many months, 1942 01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:10,200 Speaker 28: and that was meant to try and come and encourage 1943 01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:13,840 Speaker 28: the economy. But it has potentially boosted inflation again. So 1944 01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,439 Speaker 28: at two point two percent, well, let me go around 1945 01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:19,439 Speaker 28: a few countries. Germany two point six percent, France two 1946 01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:23,120 Speaker 28: point six percent, the Eurozone two point six percent, US 1947 01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:26,000 Speaker 28: three percent, So we are keeping it down, but yeah, 1948 01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:27,519 Speaker 28: our rise will be of concern. 1949 01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. On the bright side, though, unemployment is looking a. 1950 01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:34,800 Speaker 28: Lot better, Yes it is. It's an interesting one. This 1951 01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:39,560 Speaker 28: is unemployed because the figures are really quite mixed. Unemployment 1952 01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:42,280 Speaker 28: was four point two percent for the three months to 1953 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,160 Speaker 28: the end of June. That it's down to four from 1954 01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:49,480 Speaker 28: four point four percent. But interestingly, wage growth has continued 1955 01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:53,120 Speaker 28: to slow. That's now got an annualate of five point 1956 01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:55,800 Speaker 28: four percent, the weakest for around two years. What does 1957 01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:59,040 Speaker 28: this mean? Well, people are saying we shouldn't give too 1958 01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:02,200 Speaker 28: much weight to the job figures at the moment because 1959 01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:06,800 Speaker 28: we just think things are tentative between growth and not 1960 01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:10,960 Speaker 28: growing very much. So this interest rate cut two five 1961 01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:13,599 Speaker 28: percent from five and a quarter percent earlier this month 1962 01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:17,040 Speaker 28: is another interesting thing. The first relection for four years. 1963 01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:21,679 Speaker 28: Will that boost growth? Will that encourage people to borrow 1964 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:25,600 Speaker 28: and therefore lead to businesses growing well? That will have 1965 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,800 Speaker 28: to wait to see. But the slow growth wage is 1966 01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:33,839 Speaker 28: come after huge pay demands and indeed today the government 1967 01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:36,200 Speaker 28: is said to be intervening in a long running pay 1968 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:40,880 Speaker 28: dispute with the rail unions and while some criticize the 1969 01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:45,320 Speaker 28: government are fearing a massive over inflation pay rise for them. 1970 01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:48,360 Speaker 3: Now Gevin explain to me this bristfeeding thing they're doing 1971 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 3: at Dublin Zoo. 1972 01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 28: Yeah, lovely. So apparently orangutangs learn by mirroring behavior. And 1973 01:33:55,960 --> 01:34:00,400 Speaker 28: when a nineteen year old orangutang called Modere gave birth 1974 01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:02,719 Speaker 28: to a healthy male baby at the end of July 1975 01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 28: at Dublin Zoo, there was big cheer and big smiling faces. 1976 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:12,759 Speaker 28: But sadly the mother has not been breastfeeding her young baby, 1977 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:15,320 Speaker 28: and over the past few months the zoo has been 1978 01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:19,120 Speaker 28: arranging a program which has now kicked in and thirty 1979 01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:24,040 Speaker 28: new mothers are taking terms to breastfeed their children behind glass, 1980 01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:27,839 Speaker 28: of course, but in front of the pregnant orangutang, hoping 1981 01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:30,599 Speaker 28: they will be able to encourage and she will learn 1982 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:35,479 Speaker 28: the lactation process from them. Mudieu. This orangutang has previously 1983 01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:38,400 Speaker 28: given birth to two babies in twenty nineteen and twenty 1984 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:42,000 Speaker 28: twenty two, but apparently the zoo said, well, she didn't 1985 01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:45,720 Speaker 28: really exhibit the necessary maternal qualities and both died, and 1986 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:48,839 Speaker 28: that's why they're hoping this particular baby will be different. 1987 01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:51,800 Speaker 28: If she can pick up on the big hints of 1988 01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,720 Speaker 28: humans breastfeeding right outside her window. Now she comes to 1989 01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:57,760 Speaker 28: the window to have a look at what's going on. 1990 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:02,599 Speaker 28: So if this is true that orangutang's mirror behavior, then 1991 01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:06,519 Speaker 28: maybe this may work. Incidentally, this originally started with a 1992 01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:10,800 Speaker 28: worker at the zoo breastfeeding. She convinced eight colleagues to 1993 01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:13,240 Speaker 28: help out as well. They then went on a group 1994 01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:16,760 Speaker 28: chat and she said my phone didn't stop bringing. The 1995 01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:20,320 Speaker 28: next day thirty women had signed up. But derota was created. 1996 01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:24,120 Speaker 28: Who knew breastfeeding mums might be the secret to this 1997 01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:25,720 Speaker 28: little baby orangutang's life. 1998 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:27,920 Speaker 3: I mean it's quite possible. The Orangutang's like, what the 1999 01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,400 Speaker 3: hell is going on with all these people out there? Gavin, 2000 01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:32,000 Speaker 3: thank you very much as always, talk to you in 2001 01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,600 Speaker 3: a couple of days. Gavin Gray, UK correspondent will do 2002 01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:35,439 Speaker 3: the beneficiary thing. 2003 01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:40,160 Speaker 2: Next, whether it's macro micro or just plain economics. It's 2004 01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:43,160 Speaker 2: all on the Business Hour with hither duplicy Ellen and 2005 01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:46,800 Speaker 2: my HR the HR platform for sme US talks. 2006 01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:49,800 Speaker 3: It'd be right six away from seven. So this is 2007 01:35:50,200 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 3: the first of the SOBS stories about how mean this 2008 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:55,599 Speaker 3: government is to the beneficiaries. Story is an accountant who's 2009 01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:57,439 Speaker 3: been on the job seeker benefit for more than a 2010 01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 3: year was shocked yesterday when he got a letter telling 2011 01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:02,840 Speaker 3: him his payments BENY payments are going to be cut 2012 01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:06,000 Speaker 3: in half by next week because he didn't show up 2013 01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:10,080 Speaker 3: for a meeting, except this is the cruel and heartless 2014 01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,280 Speaker 3: But he didn't know he reckons about the meeting because 2015 01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:14,400 Speaker 3: nobody told him about the meeting. So that's how the 2016 01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:17,240 Speaker 3: story starts. Then the story goes on to the second 2017 01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:19,879 Speaker 3: paragraph of the print story and it says the government 2018 01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,719 Speaker 3: has introduced a traffic light system for beneficiaries, with tougher 2019 01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:24,639 Speaker 3: sanctions for those out of work who do not meet 2020 01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:28,360 Speaker 3: obligations to prepare for or find work. So basically, this 2021 01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:30,760 Speaker 3: is what the story is telling you is this has 2022 01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 3: happened to this man, and the reason it's happened is 2023 01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:35,439 Speaker 3: because the government's broad in the traffic light system made 2024 01:36:35,439 --> 01:36:39,719 Speaker 3: all these changes. Except get this further down the story, 2025 01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:43,000 Speaker 3: the guy gets a letter dated the ninth of August, 2026 01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:46,920 Speaker 3: which is Friday last week. The traffic light system only 2027 01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:51,759 Speaker 3: came in Monday this week. So actually he's not being 2028 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:56,200 Speaker 3: punished under this new government's new cruel and heartless rules. 2029 01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:59,760 Speaker 3: He's being punished under the old rules that labor was. 2030 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:04,360 Speaker 3: So doesn't that the narrative, does it, But watch for 2031 01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:06,640 Speaker 3: this to happen, right, watch this happening. There will be 2032 01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:10,599 Speaker 3: coscensions existed before Louise Upston came and announced them on Monday. 2033 01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:13,080 Speaker 3: They were already there. Carmel was doing it all as well. 2034 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:15,960 Speaker 3: That's what he got punished under Carmel's rules. Just watch 2035 01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:17,400 Speaker 3: for this stuff because you'll get a lot of this. 2036 01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,639 Speaker 3: Oh and yah got cut off.
