We'll look at that 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 3: at five o'clock. Beneficiaries getting out there, rolling up their 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 3: sleeves and fixing flood damage. Will it actually happen? We'll 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 3: speak to the guy and his dog, while the dog 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 3: won't speak unless miracles are happening today, we'll speak to 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 3: the guy who was rescued by the Defense Force and 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 3: the tattahdoers, Trisherson and Sainzo on the huddle tonight and 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 3: Axe Simon Court has got some new crazy consent nonsense 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 3: to share with us. After six o'clock here on news Talk, 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 3: said b Ryan Bridge. When there's a job to be done, 16 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 3: you muckin' you get it done. Many hands make light work. 17 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: There's no time like yesterday to get something finished. And 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: the household I grew up and this was pretty much 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 3: the motto when it came to work. Everybody must work. 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 3: My brothers and I had paper rounds and we were 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: like nine. It was child labor. Mum used to walk 22 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 3: with us after school, you know, rain hail or shine. 23 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 3: We'd be out there, backpacks filled with newspapers and circulars. 24 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: Out we'd tryed to deliver some lovely old Ducker weekly 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 3: fix of the local rag. For me, working is something 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,639 Speaker 3: you have to do. It's not something you do because 27 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: you'd like to do it. But not everyone thinks this way. 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: Not everybody was raised this way. There are and I'm 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: pleased that I was raised in a household where work 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: was important. But there are two hundred and ten thousand 31 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 3: kiwis right now receiving the doll free taxpayer money to 32 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: not work. That's up twelve percent on a year ago. 33 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 4: Now. 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: I know the economy has been bad. Jobs aren't often 35 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: there to come by, and that accounts for some of 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: this cohort. But really we all know these people who 37 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: just take the piss, take the money, and why wouldn't you, 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you? I was pleased today to hear given 39 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 3: this the government had a plan after the flooding in 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: Nelson and Tasman, Paul Sods there have had a massive mess, 41 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 3: big cleanup job to do, and they want job seekers 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: to get down there help clean up, mop up, mend 43 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: the fences, you name it. They can do it and 44 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 3: they'll pay for their efforts. Fantastic. Now, I just have 45 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: a sneaking suspicion that this is not going to happen. 46 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I just don't think 47 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: this is going to happen. And if it doesn't happen, 48 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 3: what do we do then? What happens If they don't 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: want to get their hands dirty or they say no, well, 50 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 3: I think it's quite simple. They should get the welfare 51 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 3: ripped out from underneath them until such time as they appreciate. 52 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: One money doesn't grow on trees and two fences don't 53 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: fix themselves. Brand news books have been nine. The number 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: to text just gone ten after four. You would have 55 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 3: seen this in the news today, massive story today about 56 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 3: this project to bring back the extinct moa, and it's 57 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: rustling a few feathers in the world of academia. The 58 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 3: Mammoth project aims to revive the prehistoric animal within the 59 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 3: next decade. I spoke to the company's CEO on Herald 60 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 3: Now this morning, and what he told me, was that 61 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: it's going to take ten years, but it will happen. 62 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: These things are massive, three and a half meters tall. 63 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: This is the South Island more three and a half 64 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: meters tall, and they do it. It's not going to 65 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: be exactly the moa. It's going to be a cousin 66 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: of the moa that they will edit to look more moerish. 67 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 5: Here he is, let's continue to build and build a 68 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 5: stage gated process in where they can be in secure, 69 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 5: expanse at ecological preserves and we can understand how they 70 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 5: interact with the ecology of the existing ecosystem and whatnot, 71 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 5: and truly study them and make them home here again. 72 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: Professor Phillips Siddon, University of Otago Zoology Department with me 73 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: this afternoon. Good afternoon, Hi there, professor. Do you like 74 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: this idea? 75 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 4: I think the devil's in the details, Ryan, I think 76 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 4: you've got to dig down. A lot of the word 77 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 4: is about bringing back moa, but extinction really is forever. 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 4: We're not going to see moya again. 79 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: No, because it's not going to be the real ma 80 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: is it. 81 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: It's not a real mora. 82 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 4: So yeah, it'll be a genetically modified organism some near relative, 83 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 4: and the near relative for Moa are pretty distant. Actually, 84 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 4: they're a small flight at bird in South America. 85 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think photos of them the tiny. 86 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 4: Y yeah, tiny sixty million years difference. 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: So is there anything wrong with doing it? 88 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 4: Well, you've got to ask why you're doing it, and 89 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 4: you've got to be honest about what you're doing and 90 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 4: your quote. You know, Ben was being upfront about talking 91 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 4: about cousins, but if you look at the front end 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: media stuff, it's all about bringing back Moher to all 93 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 4: wrapping back Moan. I was working on a kind of 94 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: a tortured analogy. If I could cheer it with you, 95 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 4: I imagine, imagine if someone said would you like the 96 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 4: Mona Lisa and you went, well, the mon Lisa. Yeah, 97 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: the Mona Lisa are going to give you the Moon Lisa. 98 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 4: And they give you this painting. You look at it 99 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 4: and it's a it's a woman with a smile, and 100 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 4: you think, well it doesn't quite look like and you go, 101 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: is this really the Mona Lisa? And they say, well, no, 102 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 4: it's actually another painting. I don't know, woman girl with 103 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 4: the pearl earring. But we got some paint bushes and paint. 104 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 4: We tweaked it and we made it look a bit 105 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 4: like the Mona Lisa. So because it looks like the 106 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 4: Mona Lisa, we're going to call it the Mona Lisa. 107 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 4: It's a couple of things wrong with that. It's it's 108 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 4: a it's a looker bike. There's a couple of things 109 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: wrong with that. It's not the Mona Lisa. So there's 110 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: an authenticity about it that's missing. And the second thing 111 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 4: is that you've messed up something else in order to 112 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 4: create there. You've got to say, just because you can 113 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 4: do these things, should you really be doing it? What's 114 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: the compelling reason for doing this? 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: So the cousin, we mack up the cousin by doing it. 116 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: That's what you're saying. 117 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're creating a genetically modified other species that will 118 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 4: have ideally mo like features or look like a moa. 119 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 4: Whether it behaves like a moa in the system, we 120 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: don't know. Genetics will be different, it's physiology be a different, 121 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 4: it's behavior will be different. So there's a lot of 122 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 4: question marks about whether a GMO version of a mora 123 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 4: is actually going to be useful at all. 124 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: We do use it system, We do it with plants though, 125 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 3: don't wean food? 126 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, well we genetically modified plants or people to use 127 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 4: GMO plants in order to make them kind of grow 128 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 4: better or be resistant to disease and things like that. 129 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 4: And the rationale is that you want more crops to 130 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 4: feed more people. 131 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: Right, so there's a good reason for it. You're saying 132 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: there is no good reason here. They say tourism, and 133 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: you might get some more you're just stop buying. You 134 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 3: think this is that a bullshit, don't you? 135 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: Well I do, and I. 136 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 4: Look at what Colossal is doing, and you know they're 137 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 4: packing the icons of extinction. So Wooly mammoth, Dodo, Tasmanian tiger, philacy. 138 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: Now mo why wouldn't you go for moha? And which 139 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 4: mow are you going to go for? Because there were 140 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: a number of species, Well, they're going to the biggest one. 141 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 4: So this is the biggest media hit you can do. 142 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 4: And if you look at all the front end stuff, 143 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: it's saying the moa is coming back, it's not. And 144 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 4: there's some real questions about why you're doing this. If 145 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 4: you're rationalist tourism, that's pretty weak source. 146 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: I think Professor Phillips Siddon tell us. What you really 147 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: think it's a forgery, you wouldn't do. It's no mona 148 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: Lisa and basically a bunch of bes fourteen after four 149 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: News talksb Elliot Smith. 150 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: Next, it's the Heather du Busy Allen Drive Bull Show 151 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: podcast on iHeartRadio powered My News TALKSB News TALKSB. 152 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: It is four seventeen. Trump throwing his toys again and around. 153 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 3: Tariff's threatening two hundred percent on pharmaceuticals, fifty percent on 154 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: copper today. Australia quite worked up about this bit in 155 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: a bit of it his elbows on the phone. They 156 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: export about two point five billion dollars did you know 157 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: this in pharmaceuticals, mainly vaccines and blood products. This is 158 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 3: Australia healthcare products as well, and forty percent of their 159 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 3: medicines head to the United States. So they are very, 160 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 3: very worried about what this will mean for them. And 161 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: it's all because the Aussies have a cap on the 162 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: price of drugs that they import from America, and Big 163 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: Farmer is getting involved in Washington, lobbying the White House 164 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 3: saying well that's not fair, they're free loading. Why don't 165 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: we hit them with a massive tariff and it looks 166 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: like that's what Trump's going to do. So elbow and 167 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 3: damage control today eighteen after four, Brian Bridge, Allie Smiths. 168 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 3: Here was sport Hey, Eliott, Hey Ron, Good afternoon. Now 169 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: State of Origin three tonight. 170 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 6: It is indeed you start against state matter gets made 171 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 6: all of that stuff. Queensland versus New South Wales's got 172 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 6: a decider which we didn't probably think we would after 173 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 6: Game one when New South Wales were far too good 174 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 6: for Queensland that night at sun Corpse Stadium and everyone 175 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 6: kind of wrote the series off. But Queensland managed to 176 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 6: find a way to win in Game two, big bounce 177 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 6: back performance in Perth, and now we've got the decided 178 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 6: tonight in Sydney. So fascinating to see how that unfolds history, 179 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 6: probably on Queensland side, incidentally, in the one nine of 180 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 6: eleven deciders since two thousand and six, although they haven't 181 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 6: won ae decider in New South Wales since twenty thirteen, 182 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 6: so they're very much looking forward to that. Incidentally, Aaron 183 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 6: Woods forming New South Wales prop on Sports Talk tonight 184 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 6: after seven and from a New Zealand point of view, capable. 185 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 3: Plays for work as we need it on Sunday. 186 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 6: We do against the Tigers, and the Warriors have already 187 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 6: lost Luke Metcalf now mitched, Barnett Towns Nickel Crook stars 188 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 6: out with injury, so there might be a few nervous 189 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 6: Warriors fans going. I hope he plays well for Queensland tonight, 190 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 6: which he did in Game two, but also gets through 191 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 6: the game unscathed and is fit to turn around this. This 192 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 6: is a huge ars. He's gonna have to fly from 193 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 6: obviously Sydney, which isn't a big deal Sydney to Auckland, 194 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 6: but back up and another game of league on Sunday 195 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 6: afternoon against the Tigers. So a couple of things to 196 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 6: Warriors fans look at. 197 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 3: They need to bubble wrap him tonight, don't they. 198 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 6: They do, but the nature of origin is that there's 199 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 6: no bubble wrapping in Origin. They're going to throw their 200 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 6: bodies right at each other and put their bodies on 201 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 6: the line. So if you're Andrew Webster, if you're Warriors fan, 202 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 6: you're sort of taking a deep breath and hoping that 203 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 6: he comes through und scathe tonight. 204 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 3: Kan Williamson not playing with the Black Captains as a 205 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 3: barbe way, but he says he's still committed to the team, is. 206 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 6: He Well, he is when it probably suits Kin and 207 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 6: he to be honest, he has earned that. I think 208 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 6: over a period of time, you know New Zealand's best 209 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 6: ever batsman, to be honest. And now with everything that's 210 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 6: on off for an international cricket all the T twenty 211 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 6: tournaments that he can make and set up himself and 212 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 6: his family for life, he's picking and choosing things and 213 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 6: he's done this for a year or two now, but 214 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 6: this is the first time that he's actually gone. I'm 215 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 6: going to skip some Test cricket, which before this point 216 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 6: he had made himself available on every occasion and Darros 217 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 6: added as only Zimbabe by the black Caps expected to 218 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 6: win and win well, these don't even care carry Test 219 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 6: Champion World Test Championship points. These games coming up next month, 220 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 6: but may be just the start of things to come. 221 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 6: Potentially that we should probably expect to begin life without 222 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 6: King Williamson in the next week while and he won't 223 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 6: be available for everything that comes on the black Caps 224 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 6: horizons run. 225 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: All right, Elliot, appreciate that Alliot Smith sports talk host 226 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 3: seven o'clock Tonight News Talk ZMB it is twenty after four. 227 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 3: Coming up next, I'll tell you why you know link 228 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 3: no longer need to take shoes off at the airports 229 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 3: in America.

We'll have to see, you know, 377 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 10: what they find. There's always an inquiry after something like this. 378 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 10: There's also a small chance that we're going to get 379 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 10: more storms, more rain in the area, and we're hoping 380 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 10: for some kind of break right now, but it wouldn't 381 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 10: be surprising to find, as Governor said, more and more 382 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 10: bodies in the coming days. 383 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 3: Trump and who met for second day. What have they 384 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 3: discussed they did? 385 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 10: I mean, this was the second time that they've they've 386 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 10: met for the ongoing war in Gaza, and they're saying that, 387 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 10: you know, they're they're making a little bit of progress. 388 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 10: Prime Minister Netanya, who said he doesn't believe that Israel's 389 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 10: military campaign in Gaza was done. He says they still 390 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 10: have to finish the job. There a Palestinian source telling 391 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 10: that the BBC they haven't made any headway in these conversations, 392 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 10: even though President Trump has said and we're making a 393 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 10: little progress on this, but you know, he'll even be 394 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 10: the first to agree, I think in a roundabout way 395 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 10: that that things could take a little bit longer than 396 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 10: than he had originally hoped for. 397 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 3: And the July nine tariff did line might be did 398 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: in the water, obviously, but Trump announcing the new tariffs 399 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 3: copper and foreign drugs, well, he is too. 400 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 10: And this has been going back and forth. I mean, 401 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 10: he also appeared to kind of backped a little bit 402 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 10: on announcing that the deal that the Treasury Secretary had 403 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 10: said earlier would materialize in the next forty eight hours. 404 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 10: And our stock market has been going up and down, 405 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 10: mostly down on the news that these of these tariffs 406 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 10: are all over the place in terms of how high 407 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 10: they are depending on the country and the items that 408 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 10: you're buying. And the Yale budget lab it just came 409 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 10: out and they said the letters that the President sent 410 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 10: yesterday are going to be the highest terriff rates that 411 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 10: the US consumers have had since the nineteen thirties. And 412 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 10: he's really fixated on this trade gap, Ryan, and this 413 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 10: is the difference in how much we import versus how 414 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 10: much we export with other countries like you, and a 415 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 10: lot of our economists say that this is just too 416 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 10: simplistic right here, and this is going to do more 417 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 10: more harm possibly than it will good to our economy 418 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 10: in the coming months and even the years. 419 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: Dan, appreciate your time this afternoon, Dan Mitchison, our US correspondent. 420 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 3: It is nineteen minutes away from five o'clock.

And 426 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 3: this one, this is another similar to the last one. 427 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: I work with deaf children and the children who have 428 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 3: Teddy Bears with hearing aids are absolutely overjoyed to share 429 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 3: these with me. We also have a library dedicated to 430 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 3: deaf soft toys and books. It's very hard to find 431 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,239 Speaker 3: dolls or toys that represent those with disabilities. Isn't that 432 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: just heartbreaking and warming all at the same time? So 433 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, I guess there is a market for it. Barbie, well, 434 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 3: I mean, Barbie's in business, been in business for decades. 435 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 3: They know what they're doing, don't they eighteen minutes away 436 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 3: from five news talks there b will get to Parliament next. 437 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: Politics with centrics credit, check your customers and get payment. 438 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 3: Certainty newalks there be sixteen away from five.

Hey Jason, good afternoon, Ryan jasindra Ad. 441 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 3: And so she's willing to provide evidence to the COVID committee. 442 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 3: Does that mean at ten? Does that mean zoomed? 443 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: Does? 444 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 3: What does it mean? 445 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: Do we know? 446 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 3: Well, that's the exact question that we have. 447 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 11: There was two interesting parts to the statement that she 448 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 11: gave to the Post. The first was if asked to 449 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 11: So we know this from Thomas Coglin's reporting that Dern 450 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 11: hasn't been formally asked to appear before the inquiry. There 451 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 11: there is hearings this week, but there's a more sort 452 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 11: of in August where there's a part where they're expected 453 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 11: to sort of bring in the key decision makers and 454 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 11: senior public and civil servants. And that's where she were 455 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 11: to would appear if she were if she was going 456 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 11: to so the Commission said in a statement, no decisions 457 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 11: have been made by the Commissioner about who will be appearing, 458 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 11: So we will have to wait and see if they 459 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 11: actually do ask her. And you know, I'm with you here, 460 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 11: I think that they probably should. The second part of 461 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 11: her statement is that she has every intention of providing evidence, 462 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 11: and you quite rightly latch onto that because what we 463 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 11: know from Chris Hipkins is what he told Kerry Woodham 464 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 11: yes today, is that you'd be providing responses to questions 465 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 11: that the committee has and that could be written responses. 466 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 11: So the question is, you know, if she were to apply, 467 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 11: say that she is fronting up, would she be doing 468 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 11: it in person or via zoom or would she just 469 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 11: be answering these questions. And I'll tell you one person 470 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 11: who has made their opinion clear on this, and that's 471 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 11: Nicola Willis. 472 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 12: Well, look, it'll be up to the Royal Commission to 473 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 12: decide whether to invite her. But if she were invited, 474 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 12: I can't see why she wouldn't want to put her 475 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 12: side of the story calling on them to ask her. 476 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 12: And no, I wouldn't be appropriate for me to make 477 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 12: that call on them. That will be their decision to make. 478 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 12: I'm simply observing that I can't see why you wouldn't 479 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 12: front up to tell your side of the story if 480 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 12: you were given that opportunity. 481 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 3: And I agree with it. 482 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 11: I think she's bang on. Why wouldn't she want a 483 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 11: front up to tell her side of the story. 484 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: Mikola Willis says she's going to sit down with Miles 485 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 3: Harold why it. 486 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 11: Was an interesting It was an interesting throwaway in a 487 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 11: press conference that she gave earlier. This afternoon, have a listener. 488 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 12: I will be meeting with the Frontier chief executive and 489 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 12: the next while to talk to him about what we 490 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 12: can do to make sure that New Zealanders have affordable cheese, 491 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 12: milk and butter. 492 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 11: And I thought this was quite fascinating, given the price 493 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 11: of milk is determined by the GDT auction and other 494 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 11: international factors. So I actually put this to Willis and 495 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 11: here's what she said. 496 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 12: Look, I accept at a high level that that's the 497 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 12: case when there's a lot of demand for dairy products, 498 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 12: the price internationally goes up, and that's reflected here at home. 499 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 12: My question is about why sometimes we're seeing cheaper prices 500 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 12: than British or Australian supermarkets, and I'm interested to understand 501 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 12: how much of that is about the lack of supermarket 502 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 12: competition here and how much of that is about the 503 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 12: prices that Fonterra is passing through. So those are discussions 504 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 12: that I'm continuing because I know it bothers. Kiwi's you know, 505 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 12: the cheese gone, the butter on your toast, these are 506 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 12: Kiwi essentials. 507 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 11: So it really sounds like she's yet again having another 508 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 11: crack at the supermarkets here and getting some information on that. 509 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 11: And you know she's She's gonne after the supermarkets quite 510 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 11: a lot during her tenure as Finance Minister. She ruled 511 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 11: out any subsidies. But David Seymour meanwhile was on the 512 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 11: country saying this. 513 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 13: And thank god for Millcote nearly ten bucks and you know, 514 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 13: sheep and beef prices where they are, because otherwise would 515 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 13: have a very different story. 516 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 3: Which kind of highlights the double edged sword here. 517 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 11: Higher dairy prices maybe hard for Kimi consumers, but you 518 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 11: know the farmers aren't complaining. 519 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely not right. Finally, the Regulatory Standards Bill's Select Committee hearings, 520 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 3: You've got a quote of the day for us, Jason, Yeah, 521 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: I do. 522 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 11: There's been so many submissions and I've listened into a few, 523 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 11: and this one comes from the Woke Lesbian Symposium. 524 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 3: So again that's not. 525 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 11: Me being facetious. That is actually the name of the group. 526 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 11: Here's how Cameron Brewer introduced them this morning. 527 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 14: Now that brings us to the Woke Lisbo Symposium. This 528 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 14: did I have to say this. You were my nomination 529 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 14: and I'm sure others nominated you as well to speak 530 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 14: for me. It was purely out of intrigue, so please 531 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 14: don't disappoint. 532 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 11: And they didn't disappoint. I ever listened to what they 533 00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 11: had to say. 534 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 15: Trickle down is like pissing on people and telling them 535 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 15: it's rain. As the work Lesbos Symposium, we recommend that 536 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 15: you tell Parliament to ditch this monstrosity. 537 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 11: I just love New Zealand's democracy. Anyone can submit apparently, 538 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 11: So and there they are the walk Lesboel's good on 539 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 11: your walk, Lesbe's. 540 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 3: It's great fun. Thanks Jason, Jason Wall's Parliament. It's eleven 541 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 3: away from five. Goodness me, Ryan Bridge, now just on 542 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 3: the butter because I get annoyed and sometimes Nikola willis 543 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 3: you think I know she's playing the political game. She's 544 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 3: playing the pr game. I will bash the supermarkets, we'll 545 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 3: bash the banks. Because cost the living. Sigh. Right now, 546 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 3: she's going to bash fon Terra, one of our most 547 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: successful companies, our biggest exporter. I mean, come on, Nikola, 548 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 3: you're better than this. We export a hell of a 549 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 3: lot more to the world than the Australian student. So 550 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 3: what about the difference in price and butter between here 551 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 3: and Australia. We export a hell of a lot more 552 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: to the world than the Aussies do. In twenty twenty three, 553 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 3: they exported nine tons. We exported four hundred forty tons 554 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: of butter. They exported two percent of the quantity that 555 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 3: we did, and that means that our price is way 556 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 3: more susceptible to the international market price. We export most 557 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 3: of our butter, we pay the international price. Australia, on 558 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 3: the other hand, eats a lot more of its own 559 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 3: and exports less. That's the reason for it. I don't know. 560 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 3: She's on a mission. Obviously, they have identified she's a 561 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: very smart political operator, and she has identified that cost 562 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 3: of living is a problem for national and her solution 563 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 3: is to get the biggest jackhammer a sledgehammer she can find, 564 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: and just go after the food producers and the suppliers 565 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 3: and the supermarkets ten to five Newstalk SETB. 566 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 2: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking. 567 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: Breakfast organized crime. 568 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 3: The last report warned that corruption is getting worse. 569 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 15: The report this time reckons that we can tackle us 570 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 15: by getting our communities involved. 571 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 6: Steve Side as the chair of Ministerial Advisory Group for 572 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 6: Organized Crime, the first point is. 573 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 16: To treat the community as part of the solution, getting 574 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 16: involved by giving them snational information that can use our 575 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 16: too many thinks it's a really good idea to let 576 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 16: the public, particularly in local communities, know what the real 577 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 16: problems of organized crime are for them and ways that 578 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 16: can identify that organized crime and work as a community 579 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 16: to try and support those who trying to break free 580 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 16: from bank customers of organized crime. 581 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: Either dupless Ellen on the mic, hosking Breakfast back tomorrow 582 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: at six am with Alvida retirement communities on news togs. 583 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 3: There'd be seven to five. Got some more goalers gold 584 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 3: for you. We'll get to that in a second right now. Though, 585 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 3: Trump lasting out at reporters today. They wanted to ask 586 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 3: about Epstein. They are so obsessed about Jeffrey Epstein over there, 587 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 3: aren't they? Yesterday? Justice Department announces no evidence that Epstein 588 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 3: kept a quote client list or that he was murdered. Basically, 589 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 3: he took his own life in prison. Trump didn't want 590 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 3: to talk more about it at all. 591 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 9: Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been 592 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 9: talked about for years. You're asking we have Texas, we 593 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 9: have this, we have all of the things, and are 594 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 9: people still talking about this guy? This creep that is unbelievable. 595 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 9: Do you want to waste the time and do you 596 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 9: feel like answering? 597 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 17: I don't mind answering. 598 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 9: I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on 599 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 9: at Epstein at a time like this where we're having 600 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 9: some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what 601 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 9: happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration. 602 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: But you go ahead. 603 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 3: So that's Pam Bondie Blondie sitting next to him, and 604 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: she's been facing hate from the Mega supporters after giving 605 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 3: an interview on Fox earlier in the year. In that interview, 606 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 3: she was asked about the rumored client list. 607 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients. 608 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 3: Well, that really happened. 609 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 17: It's sitting on my desk right now to review that's 610 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 17: been a directive by President Trump. 611 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm reviewing that. 612 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 17: I'm reviewing JFK Fall's MLK. That's all in the process 613 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 17: of being reviewed because that was done at the directive 614 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 17: of the President from all of these agencies. 615 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 3: So have you seen. 616 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 4: Anything that you said, Oh, my gosh. 617 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 17: Not yet. 618 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: So now Pam Bondi says she actually wasn't talking about 619 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: reviewing the Epstein client list, but the Epstein file, which 620 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 3: is a totally different thing. Of course, I don't know 621 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 3: he's dead. Who cares, now, you know what I mean. 622 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 3: That's my feeling on the whole thing. But they're all 623 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 3: got their nickers and a twist in the mega movement 624 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 3: about this and have done for now a week five 625 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 3: away from five Bridge. The regional council, this is another 626 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 3: one bites the dust. The Waiicuta regional council cutting ties 627 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 3: with local government New Zealand because some counselors, some felt 628 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 3: unhappy with its left leaning bureaucrats. Not only that, but 629 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 3: it's cost and it's relevance to regional councils. So what's 630 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 3: the telly at now? It must be at least ten 631 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 3: that have pulled out. We spoke to Eastern Bay of 632 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 3: Plenty a couple of months back. They pulled out, Auckland 633 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 3: had pulled out. Wellington still there of course, because I 634 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 3: mean they need friends, don't they. When you know, when 635 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 3: you're desperate, you need friends. But that list must be dwindling, 636 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: and I wonder what happens to that organization as a result. 637 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 3: Does it dwindle too further? Nine two nine two the 638 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 3: number to text. Now this is interesting. This is from 639 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 3: the government. They've got a group looking at what happens 640 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 3: to your flood damaged home. If you build on land 641 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 3: you know is prone to flooding, and you knew that 642 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 3: before you built it, or you knew that before you 643 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 3: bought the property, should the government come in and save 644 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 3: the day if and when eventually it does flood. That's 645 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 3: the question that this group's been tasked with answering. And 646 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 3: their answer is quite brutal, but I'm behind it. I'll 647 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 3: tell you what that is after five o'clock. Also, we'll 648 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 3: look at the ocr NO movement today. When will it 649 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 3: move and what's it all got to do with Trump? 650 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 3: Straight ahead News talks, be. 651 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 2: Questions, answers, facts, analysis, the drive show you trust for 652 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 2: the full picture. Brian Bridge on hither duplicy allan drive 653 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: with one New Zealand. 654 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: Let's get connected. News talks. 655 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 3: It be good evening, get to seven a half to 656 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 3: five news talks at b Another goal is scandal, a 657 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 3: bottomless brunch and claims of racism. Get to that in 658 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 3: a second. Right now, the Reserve Bank keeping the OCR 659 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 3: on hold three point twenty five percent. A pause on 660 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 3: our way down the OCR ladder, you could say, Brad 661 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 3: Olson for metrics with us. Now, Hi, Brad, good afternoon. 662 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 3: So what is with the pause? 663 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 18: Well, it looks like the Reserve Bank is just a 664 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 18: bit cautious and being careful given all of the uncertainty 665 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 18: in the economy. Now you might think when I say uncertainty, 666 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 18: I mean the global ructions, tariffs and similar But actually 667 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 18: reading this statement from the Reserve Bank today, it seems 668 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 18: are just a little bit more cautious actually about the 669 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 18: likes of inflation, which you're seeing a few bits and 670 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 18: pieces starting to get a bit hotter a bit too quickly, 671 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 18: but also the uncertainty over New Zealand's economic recovery. We 672 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 18: had at the start of this year a good increase 673 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 18: in GDP up point eight percent, but economic indicators since 674 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 18: then have been a lot more challenging. And I think 675 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 18: that's where the Reserve Bank they just want another couple 676 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 18: of months of data to figure out where things are 677 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 18: going before they make their biggot next call over where 678 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 18: to next for interest rates. 679 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 3: Doesn't mean it's good for us, but to be fair 680 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 3: to them, we're a two and a half percent doesn't 681 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 3: take your much to notch up, and then you're close 682 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 3: to and you're almost touching, and then before you know it, 683 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 3: you're over. 684 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 18: Well that's basically what we did last time. We kept 685 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 18: looking at the inflationary numbers and saying, look, they're not 686 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 18: good at the moment, but you know what, looking for forward, 687 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 18: they'll be all right. And then by the time we 688 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 18: figured out that they weren't all right, that inflation was 689 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 18: more persistent, things had gotten out of hand. But I 690 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 18: think also for the Reserve Bank, they're also banking on 691 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 18: the fact that interst rates are still down quite a 692 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 18: lot from where they've already been. You know, we've seen 693 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 18: two point two five percentage points lopped off the OCR 694 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 18: over the last year and a bit. That means that 695 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 18: for a lot of people. Yes, interest rates are still 696 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 18: they might be paying those high rates, but they will 697 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 18: be refixing at some point over the second half of 698 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 18: this year. A lot of the heavy liftings being done, 699 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 18: but the Reserve Bank trying to now calibrate what's the 700 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 18: right point and to be fair, Ryan, they also reckon 701 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 18: that there is more to come. They were quite explicit 702 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 18: today that if things continue to evolve as they broadly expect, 703 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 18: that will give them more scope to continue to cut 704 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 18: the official cash rate this year. I just don't think 705 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 18: there's too much more left in that. There's probably only 706 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 18: a few more tweaks, maybe one or two cuts by 707 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 18: the end of this year. 708 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 3: Get us down to three two point seventy five something 709 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 3: like that. Brad. Appreciate you. Brad Olson, Infometrics, Principal Economist 710 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,959 Speaker 3: nine after five, Ryan Bridge job seeker beneficiaries could soon 711 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 3: be sent to Tasman Marlborough to help with the cleanup 712 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 3: after the floods. They'll be paid to do things like 713 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 3: clear debris and repair buildings and waterways, et cetera. Craig 714 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 3: Churchill with MSD joins me Now, Hi, Craig, Hi, Ryan, 715 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 3: how's it going? 716 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 4: Yeah? 717 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 3: Good? Thank you? This sounds like a great idea, great initiative. 718 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 3: Have you had any takers at this point? 719 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 19: Thanks for your question, Ryan, Yes, it's a really great 720 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 19: initiative and something we've been using in past emergency response 721 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 19: to me invents and to answer case. And yes, we've 722 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 19: had a lot of interest to come and help clean 723 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 19: up the devastating impact in Tasman from job seekers, from 724 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 19: job seekers, people currently on job seeker benefit and actually 725 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 19: people just wanting to help the community that's been impacted. 726 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 3: Great. How many job seekers have you had you apply? 727 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 19: Look, I don't know exactly how many. I know there's 728 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 19: sort of been half a dozen that have been flagged 729 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 19: through to me before on ere but we currently have 730 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 19: six hundred work ready job seekers in Tasman, so there's 731 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 19: a lot of opportunity to get some people out to 732 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 19: help the community. 733 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 3: So you've got six hundred job seekers in the region 734 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 3: and six have put their hands up. 735 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 19: No, we only had six that's been flagged to me 736 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,720 Speaker 19: so far, but I know our teams and service centers 737 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 19: have been working with job seekers that want to help, 738 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 19: and I know from the community meetings that I've been 739 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 19: attending over the last week there's been a lot of 740 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 19: interest by people, including our job seekers. 741 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 3: Okay, that's good. What about accommodation, transport and stuff of people, 742 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,439 Speaker 3: if job seekers want to actually go there and do work, 743 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 3: do you provide help with that stuff? 744 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 19: We certainly do, although will be certainly targeting job seekers 745 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 19: that are willing to help in the area. So we 746 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 19: do have a lot of job seekers close to the area, 747 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 19: and we're talking motor wacre up tapware in Natomoti Valleys 748 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 19: and bright Water and Wakefield, so we'll be working for 749 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:57,720 Speaker 19: those that are closest. 750 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 3: First, Craig, what happens if you know you've got six 751 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 3: hundred job seekers? What happens if there are only six 752 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 3: who actually put their hands up and do this. Does 753 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,280 Speaker 3: that mean that the others really aren't seeking jobs? 754 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:11,280 Speaker 8: A great question. 755 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 19: Look, we know from past experience and unfortunately we've had 756 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 19: a bit of practice at this with Marlborough and Bailer 757 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 19: on the West Coast. We've actually had a lot of 758 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 19: job seekers register interest to help and events like this, 759 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 19: and this is a significant event that's going to take 760 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 19: quite some time to recover from. People are really willing 761 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 19: to help, including a job seekers. They're often the first 762 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 19: to put their hand up. 763 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Craig, Well, hopefully you get that number 764 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 3: multiplies quickly, rapidly to meet the six hundred who are 765 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 3: obviously on the job seeker benefit. Right now, twelve minutes 766 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 3: after five on news talks. 767 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: There'd beg Brian Bridge. 768 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 3: Now, I said we'd get to Goldra's garment, and we are. 769 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 3: So this is a herald story. Golera's garment no longer 770 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 3: any peace. So we actually we shouldn't care. We should 771 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 3: just all walk away from this and forget about it. 772 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 3: And yet here we are slightly intrigued. What is it now? 773 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,240 Speaker 3: Former Green Party MP Goaler's garment taken to social media 774 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 3: to call out an Auckland restaurant. So this is her 775 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 3: calling them out. She's alleging that has subjected her dining 776 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 3: group to gross treatment and canceled their booking midway through 777 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 3: a meal. However, the Italia restaurant on K Road has 778 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 3: claimed that Garaman's own behavior was lacking and the incident 779 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 3: has made him question offering the eateies wait for it, 780 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 3: bottomless brunch. It's the beginning of all bad stories. Obviously. 781 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 3: The owner says Garman had a little bit too much 782 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,720 Speaker 3: to drink and didn't behave appropriately. That's all I can say. 783 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 3: She apparently holds up. This isn't her post. So they're 784 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 3: at lunch. She says, do not go to Italia. I mean, 785 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 3: first of all, as a former MP who says and 786 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 3: living in the area, who says, don't go this restaurant. 787 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 3: You know who's blacklisting restaurants, Well goalras Garment's doing it. 788 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 3: Don't go to this restaurant. We had the most gross 789 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 3: treatment and had this booking randomly midway canceled and not 790 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 3: accepted even when I showed them the booking. Anyway, she says, 791 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 3: some incredible Mardi Pacifica and queer leaders were totally screwed 792 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 3: over mid brunch in the face of a written confirmation. 793 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 3: It was sad and it was a bleep and it 794 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 3: was not the cutting a happy copepper. And that'll be 795 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,720 Speaker 3: the last goal of story, we do, I promise. Fourteen 796 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 3: after five news talk said b coming up next. We've 797 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 3: got plenty more to get through. We are talking a 798 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 3: little bit more about the MOA, but also David Graham 799 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 3: who was rescued and the Tatadoo arrangers yesterday by the 800 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 3: Air Force with his dog because his sleeping bag had 801 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 3: literally frozen solid.

Do we actually need more public servants? 992 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 8: I don't think we need more public servants and that's 993 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 8: not something I'll be focused on. I do think that's 994 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,120 Speaker 8: how people feel, and I'm not going to be dismissedive 995 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 8: of it. So I need to get to understand is 996 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 8: that is the issue? Actually? What is our response? And 997 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 8: you know, I've said a number of times publicly and 998 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 8: we'll continue that there is scope to simplify and give 999 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,080 Speaker 8: people more time to do the work they need. I 1000 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 8: think there are tools and techniques, including the introduction of AI, 1001 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,439 Speaker 8: which will help people do their tasks, and that's what 1002 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,719 Speaker 8: the government is committed to and that's what I want 1003 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 8: to lead. 1004 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,239 Speaker 3: What about this issue of merit, So I'm quite a 1005 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,280 Speaker 3: shocking number, you know, forty four percent confident their colleagues 1006 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 3: will have hired based on merit. What will the rest 1007 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 3: hide on? 1008 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I was sort of shocked by that, 1009 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,560 Speaker 8: and it's not something that I believe is true at 1010 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 8: the senior levels of the public service. I mean, there 1011 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,719 Speaker 8: are a lot of levels here, So you know, I'm 1012 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 8: not once again, I'm not going to dismiss that because 1013 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 8: that's what people think, and I don't want to get 1014 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 8: into some form of deniability. Let's just work through the 1015 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 8: issues with them and find out whether that's true or not. 1016 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 8: I would be shripped and I'd be extremely disappointed if 1017 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:47,800 Speaker 8: that's actually factually. 1018 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 3: Based did you ask or do you have any idea? 1019 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 3: Have you asked a question? If not hired on merit, 1020 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 3: then what they were hired on. 1021 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,360 Speaker 8: I didn't ask that. That's not how it was structured. 1022 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 8: But you know the fact that they think that is 1023 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 8: in itself quite confronting because we pride ourselves in New 1024 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 8: Zealand generally in the public service, particularly that people get 1025 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 8: their jobs based on their skill and their merit. 1026 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 3: Clearly they don't think that that's happening in the public service. 1027 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 3: That's a major problem. 1028 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not denying that, but we are going to 1029 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 8: have to address that. As I said, I'm very comfortable 1030 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 8: at the very senior levels that it is based on theirt, 1031 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 8: but there is a view in some of the levels 1032 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 8: down in the organizations that that's not always the case. 1033 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 8: How do it's completely unacceptable? 1034 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 3: How do you fix that? How do you fix that? 1035 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 3: Do you say, because you can't go around and say, well, 1036 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,120 Speaker 3: you don't hire people based on that, do you? I 1037 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 3: mean you can't do the opposite. 1038 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,479 Speaker 8: No, but I mean ultimately hiring somebody as a matter 1039 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,759 Speaker 8: of judgment, they have to have good technical skills and 1040 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 8: they need really good characters. So it's something I've reinforced 1041 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 8: to the chief executives. We do not want this perception 1042 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,719 Speaker 8: that people are getting jobs on other than what they 1043 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 8: bring to the job and their ability to do the job. 1044 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 8: That goes to the very harder confidence and trust. It's 1045 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 8: not something that we want to be playing with. 1046 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 3: Just a third of them think they're paid enough. One 1047 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 3: third think they're paid enough. The average salary one hundred thousand, 1048 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,799 Speaker 3: just over one hundred thousand dollars. Are they out of touch? 1049 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,319 Speaker 8: I don't think they're out of touch. I've never been 1050 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 8: in a workplace where people don't think they should get 1051 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 8: paid more. 1052 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 3: Have you seen? Reality is that's quite a bad number 1053 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 3: of those that way. 1054 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 8: I think two thirds thinking that they are paid enough 1055 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 8: is good. One seats so they don't think they're being 1056 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,440 Speaker 8: paid enough. Once again, I'm not going to sort of 1057 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 8: whitewash that away, but you know, we're in very tight 1058 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,280 Speaker 8: fiscal constraint. We always want to pay people what they're 1059 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 8: with and I think for overwhelming majority we do. But 1060 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 8: as I said, I've never been in a workplace where 1061 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,280 Speaker 8: there's an element of people who don't think they should 1062 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 8: get paid more. 1063 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 3: So Brian just finding sixty five thousand public servants. How 1064 00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 3: many do you think ideally, once you've finished your reforms, 1065 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 3: once your fine, that we would need. 1066 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,760 Speaker 8: I actually don't have that number. I haven't got a number. 1067 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,400 Speaker 8: But what I do know is that with some greater 1068 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 8: sort of restructuring, which I know people don't want to hear, 1069 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 8: but the reality is we've got too many agencies, we 1070 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 8: need to reduce the number. And with the introduction of AI, 1071 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,800 Speaker 8: I think that there are significant gains to be made 1072 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 8: and we will be making those over the next two 1073 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:24,120 Speaker 8: to four years. 1074 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 3: So there you go. More restructures to come that Sir 1075 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,400 Speaker 3: Brian Wroach, the Public Services Commissioner, after a survey of 1076 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 3: public servants found some odd and some predictable results, have 1077 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:37,360 Speaker 3: just gone nineteen away from six. 1078 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,840 Speaker 2: The Huddle with New Zealand Southerby's International Realty Unique Homes, 1079 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 2: Uniquely for You. 1080 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 3: On the Huddle of tonight, trist Churson, Sheerson, willis pr 1081 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,799 Speaker 3: good evening, Good evening, Bryan and Mark Sainsbury Sainso coming 1082 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 3: from Wellington. How are you, oh sains o? Hello, Hello, Yes, 1083 00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 3: good to have you on these Yeah, good thank good 1084 00:55:59,280 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 3: to be here. 1085 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:00,080 Speaker 1: Ok. 1086 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 3: So everyone working in Wellington, well half the people working 1087 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 3: around apparently not there on merit? What do you reckon? 1088 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,880 Speaker 23: Look, that's I tell you. 1089 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 24: I was staggered by that as well, and can see 1090 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,440 Speaker 24: why old Sir Brian was. I mean, some of the 1091 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 24: stuff you're going to expect. No one's ever happy about 1092 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 24: their job. But that thing of looking around whether people 1093 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,160 Speaker 24: are hard on merit is worrying. 1094 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 4: It's interesting if you look around your office, what do 1095 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:25,359 Speaker 4: you reckon? 1096 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:30,680 Speaker 8: That the center jould be well, what do you think? 1097 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,359 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I don't know what they were, what 1098 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 3: they were hired on, but it certainly wasn't merit. No, 1099 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 3: they're all pretty capable. Yeah, yeah, it's a hard question 1100 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 3: answer while they're looking at me. 1101 00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,000 Speaker 25: I mean back in the day when I worked with 1102 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 25: Sainzo and the TV and ZED, the illustrious TV and 1103 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 25: ZED newsroom in Wellington and Pitticot House, I remember giving 1104 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,919 Speaker 25: a number of colleagues the side eye day to day 1105 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 25: on whether they were there on probably including you, saying 1106 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,840 Speaker 25: so somedays, what do you mean somedays? 1107 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,399 Speaker 4: Every day you kipping even on the side. 1108 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 3: Hey, the beneficiaries and this is not all beneficiaries, this 1109 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 3: is jobs seeking beneficiaries in Tasman Nelson. I thought, great this, 1110 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 3: I wanted to do this on the show today the 1111 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,919 Speaker 3: producer said it was a story that was coming out 1112 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 3: and this is about getting job seeker beneficiaries doing the 1113 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 3: clean up. Great idea that this. 1114 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 25: Is absolutely fantastic. Look, don't forget this is it's it's 1115 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,919 Speaker 25: an invitation to take part. It's not. It's not compulsory. 1116 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 25: Plus you get paid on top of your benefit, so 1117 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 25: you're not it's not forced labor out there. Plus, the 1118 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 25: other thing I would think about if I were a 1119 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,080 Speaker 25: job seeker is that you're going out into the community. 1120 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 25: A lot of the people who will be employing you 1121 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 25: are farmers and other people with businesses in the community 1122 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,920 Speaker 25: doing these cleanups. So it's also a great way to 1123 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,919 Speaker 25: get out and meet press sprecked of employers and get 1124 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:03,439 Speaker 25: some more skills to put on your CV. 1125 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 3: I think it's fantastic totally. But then we spoke to 1126 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 3: the MSD guys, how many you know applicants you had 1127 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 3: out of the six hundred jobs seeker beneficiaries in the region, 1128 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 3: they've had six, saying. 1129 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:17,400 Speaker 24: The one the one percent? 1130 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, literally, I mean, what is like fresh? 1131 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 8: I think it's a great idea isn't it right? I 1132 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,640 Speaker 8: mean you sort of think. Yet you've got people who. 1133 00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 24: Are looking to and quite often people are out of work. Mean, 1134 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,440 Speaker 24: we have this view that Evan's listless and sitting around. 1135 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 24: People want to be doing something, you know, and it 1136 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,200 Speaker 24: offer all sorts of things that has Chris said. It 1137 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 24: also exposed them to other people. You might get job 1138 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,200 Speaker 24: offers or opportunities and everything like that. The only thing 1139 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,960 Speaker 24: I wonder about is that you sold you answer my 1140 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 24: question as to how many people were available, And it's 1141 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 24: just the logistics of you know, we're going to put 1142 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 24: them if they're going out to other areas, you know where. 1143 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 6: They're going to stay. 1144 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 24: But I think if you can, if you can utilize, 1145 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 24: and it's win win for everyone. 1146 00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. They did say that they would help Worth, 1147 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,880 Speaker 3: trantsport and all that kind of stuff. So you know, 1148 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 3: do a van and pick them up whatever. 1149 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 25: Well, that's great, and that's often a big barrier, right 1150 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 25: people either haven't got their driver's license or right at 1151 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 25: the moment they can't afford the petrol to get out there. 1152 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 25: But before we cast dispersions on those six hundred job seekers, 1153 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 25: there's a couple of things I'd say one is number 1154 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 25: one is probably early days. And number two how effective 1155 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,680 Speaker 25: is the communication out from MSD to all of these people. 1156 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,360 Speaker 25: We don't know how many of them have actually been 1157 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 25: reached by this. 1158 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 3: All right, well that's reasonable My aspersions were casting quite wide. 1159 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:33,840 Speaker 25: Well, sorry to burst your. 1160 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:38,320 Speaker 3: Bubble, Hey, the big story today. Undoubtedly you know the 1161 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 3: OCA has gone nowhere, but it's the mower and we'll 1162 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 3: get reaction with Trish and Mark on that. 1163 00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 2: Next the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty the 1164 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 2: ones fun massed results. 1165 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 3: Twelve away from six news talks, there'd be Trice Shurson, Shurson, 1166 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 3: Willis pr and Mark Sains be broadcast on the huddle 1167 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 3: Tonight's right. The more they are saying they're going to 1168 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 3: bring it, well, they'll bring back a version of the 1169 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 3: MOA through via a cousin in South America, so it 1170 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 3: won't be an exact replica, but they are aiming to 1171 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 3: de extinct this animal that, when extinct six hundred years ago, 1172 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 3: used to rham around, particularly the South Island. Quite a 1173 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 3: big thing there, Trisia on board. 1174 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 25: I think the story is great, but more for the 1175 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,080 Speaker 25: fact that the best book I have read this year 1176 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,920 Speaker 25: and I've just finished. It is called The Life and 1177 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 25: Death of New Zealand's legendary bird, the More, by Quinn Brerenson. 1178 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 25: It is a must read if you're into New Zealand history. 1179 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 25: I had never heard of it, picked it up this year. 1180 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,920 Speaker 25: It was out in twenty thirteen and was the science 1181 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 25: book of the year. And what that book actually told 1182 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,640 Speaker 25: me is number one as New Zealand as we know 1183 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 25: very little about the More, but they were the most 1184 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 25: unusual and unique family of birds that ever lived. Yes, 1185 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 25: their ancestor came from South America and the kiwis flew 1186 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:03,440 Speaker 25: over from Ozzie. But the interesting thing about trying to 1187 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 25: bring back the more is not only are they extinct, 1188 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 25: but their habitat is extinct. So where the most moer 1189 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 25: bones have been found, and there were the highest populations, 1190 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 25: was in central Otago. We think of that as a 1191 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 25: wasteland and a big rocky moonscape, you know when you 1192 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 25: drive through those amazing places. Actually it was the site 1193 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 25: of some of New Zealand's most amazing forests and that 1194 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 25: was the home of the More. But what happened was 1195 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,919 Speaker 25: the hunters of the More literally smoked them out by 1196 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,320 Speaker 25: burning those forests. So if we bring back the More, 1197 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 25: we haven't. We haven't got the forests for them. But 1198 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,439 Speaker 25: I would say to anyone who's interested in this, get 1199 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 25: get a hold of that book. It's absolutely fantastic. 1200 01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,040 Speaker 3: Mark, what's your thoughts on bringing back the more? 1201 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 4: Well? 1202 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 24: The Dinornus robustus? Of course, I was reminded there was 1203 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,520 Speaker 24: a New Zealand first and the act MP back at 1204 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 24: the two of the century called Jerry Yekov, and he 1205 01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 24: was talking about farming kiwi because he said, if you 1206 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 24: want to want any species to survive, turn them into 1207 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:08,439 Speaker 24: a money spinner. So the logical extension of that would 1208 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 24: be is that you bring back the More you farm them, 1209 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 24: and then you have the sort of like the world's 1210 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 24: biggest sort of KFCs. 1211 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 23: I look at that. 1212 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 4: It's amazing. 1213 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 24: We love these stories, don't we, This idea of somehow 1214 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 24: bringing these back, and it's been tried before. I went 1215 01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 24: on a school trip to the West Coast when I 1216 01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,080 Speaker 24: was like, you know, primary school, and I met this 1217 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,400 Speaker 24: guy down there. I had a pair of sandals with 1218 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 24: these homemade mower's feet on them, and he used to 1219 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 24: go walking around in the bush and the trick to 1220 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 24: it was he got big heaps of guano and sort 1221 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 24: of made giant turds basically and less than the tracks. 1222 01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,680 Speaker 4: And the Japanese sent out a whole film. 1223 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,880 Speaker 8: Crew to come up and try find this thing. 1224 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,160 Speaker 24: So it's looks it's tent. It's been cantilizing. We all 1225 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 24: still hear stories. Could they still be in Fiordland? But 1226 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 24: the science is just getting so advanced. 1227 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,240 Speaker 4: I look at it. I think it's just been astonishing. 1228 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 25: Here's a fun fact for you. The name dinornis for 1229 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,880 Speaker 25: the more actually came from the same root name is 1230 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 25: for the dinosaur because the scientist in Victorian England, a 1231 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,040 Speaker 25: guy called Richard Owen, who really became the father of 1232 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 25: the more and More discovery, he was working on the 1233 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:20,160 Speaker 25: dinosaur discoveries at the same time, and so that's where 1234 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:25,440 Speaker 25: the name came from. There, I tell you, I just 1235 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 25: my cup runneth. 1236 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 3: Over with you, belong over on aaron. 1237 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 16: Z also. 1238 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,280 Speaker 25: The first learning out of this book. And I've always 1239 01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 25: pronounced this incorrectly, but the pronounce it more as an 1240 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 25: I want more, not maa as in the lawn mower. 1241 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, although it is the South Island version, so 1242 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 3: you might get more of a moa than more. Hey, 1243 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 3: it's a fascinating thing. And the hearst eagle as well, 1244 01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 3: three meter wingspan, this was its prey. So so when 1245 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,160 Speaker 3: the mole went that, when the more went, the hast 1246 01:03:59,160 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 3: eagle went to. 1247 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,000 Speaker 25: Yeah, that is exactly right. That that is when the 1248 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,880 Speaker 25: hearst eagle had nothing to feed on. And in fact, 1249 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 25: the haast eagle you could think of that in New Zealand. 1250 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 25: Remember we had no mammalian predators, so no lions and tigers. 1251 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 25: The hast eagle was our equivalent. That was at the 1252 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 25: top of the apex predator. 1253 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,920 Speaker 3: Fascinating stuff, Trisiana. You'll have to do your own podcast, 1254 01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:22,200 Speaker 3: I reckon, Ah, we'll get it. 1255 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 25: Find old Quinn Berenson because honestly, people who can write 1256 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 25: history like that, that is a fantastic story. I think 1257 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 25: it's amazing. 1258 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 3: Tri Huson and Mark Sainsbury on the Huddle tonight. Thanks guys. 1259 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,200 Speaker 3: It is seven minutes away from six News Talks EDB. 1260 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,760 Speaker 2: It's the Heather Duper c Allen Drive Full Show podcast 1261 01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 2: on iHeart Radio powered by News TALKSBB. 1262 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,120 Speaker 3: News TALKSB. It is five minutes away from six So 1263 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 3: a new report out today This is from a group 1264 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,400 Speaker 3: that was set up. If you've had your house flooded 1265 01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 3: or you no people have had their houses flooded. It's 1266 01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 3: a horrible thing to happen. But the question is who's 1267 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 3: responsible for it? If you buy how us on flood 1268 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:05,360 Speaker 3: prone land, or if your house gets flooded and then 1269 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 3: you insist on staying on that land despite advice, who 1270 01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 3: should help you? The taxpayer? So the government set up 1271 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 3: this is a while back, set up a group a 1272 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 3: panel basically of experts that's you know, your insurers, your EWE, 1273 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 3: your local government, whole economists, whole bunch of them to 1274 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 3: give them some advice before they legislate. Now, Labour didn't legislate, 1275 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:28,080 Speaker 3: so the group's still going. National still hasn't legislated, still going, 1276 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 3: but they have decreed homeowners whose homes are flooded or 1277 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 3: damaged by whether events should not expect buyouts in the future. 1278 01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 3: They do suggest a transition period of twenty years to 1279 01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,040 Speaker 3: let this settle in so that people know the risks 1280 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 3: that they're taking, which I sort of agree with. I mean, 1281 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 3: if you buy on flood prone land, I'm sorry that's 1282 01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,000 Speaker 3: on you, and if you get flooded, but you insist 1283 01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,800 Speaker 3: on staying on that land. That is totally fair enough. 1284 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,440 Speaker 3: But taxpayers can't be forking out every time it rains, 1285 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,440 Speaker 3: can they?

One resource consent in Central 1305 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 3: Hawk's Bay requires local Hupu to be invited to give 1306 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 3: a kadakier whenever a native plant or tree is removed. 1307 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 3: Simon Court is with me now, high Simon. 1308 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,000 Speaker 23: Good evening, Ryan, So what exactly. 1309 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 3: Is have you found in Hawk's Bay? 1310 01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 23: Well, right, we've found more more mad resource consent conditions 1311 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 23: for solar farms in Central Hawks Bay, which include, as 1312 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:10,280 Speaker 23: you pointed out, inviting Manifena to perform prayers before removing 1313 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 23: any native trees or plants, and requiring the developer to 1314 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,439 Speaker 23: provide written reports every six months until at least two 1315 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,439 Speaker 23: years after construction's finished, outlining how they can fly with 1316 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 23: a sixty six page cultural impact assessment and what ongoing 1317 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:30,280 Speaker 23: reporting around that. What this means is that if solar 1318 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,000 Speaker 23: farms can't get built, or if they get built, but 1319 01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 23: there's all this extra cost that's going to add to 1320 01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 23: your power bill. We hear councils and many others saying 1321 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 23: they want more renewable energy, but then in the resource 1322 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:47,839 Speaker 23: consenting space they demand ceremonial chanting and spreadsheet level detail 1323 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:52,720 Speaker 23: about everything a contractor does when they're building and developing. 1324 01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:53,760 Speaker 3: The site, whose land is it. 1325 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:55,599 Speaker 8: Well. 1326 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 23: These two sites that we've been looking at this week 1327 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,559 Speaker 23: are both around online owner in Central Hawk's Bay. One 1328 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 23: is owned privately, the other is owned by the local 1329 01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:10,120 Speaker 23: lines company. The private developer was proposing a solar farm 1330 01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 23: that would supply eighteen thousand homes. They're in liquidation because 1331 01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:19,280 Speaker 23: they can't make the economics of their proposal stack up. 1332 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 23: So the question is there are many of these projects 1333 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 23: that we need to get built, go simply cost more, 1334 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,760 Speaker 23: which is going to add to people's power bills, or 1335 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:29,759 Speaker 23: just never get. 1336 01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:30,080 Speaker 4: Built at all. 1337 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,479 Speaker 23: Like one of these projects in Ogwong, it looks like. 1338 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 3: What's the theory? So this one that's on private land, 1339 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 3: it's a private solar farm on private land, as you say, 1340 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 3: the gone bus, But what's the logical the theory of 1341 01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,880 Speaker 3: having mana Feno was so involved with the cut of 1342 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 3: here and stuff. Would what is the theory? 1343 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 23: Will Ryan. It's a wonky theory. And it's called the 1344 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:56,559 Speaker 23: Resource Management Act. And what parts of the Resource Management 1345 01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,920 Speaker 23: Act say is that planners and decision makers has to 1346 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 23: give a high level of weight to the Treaty of 1347 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:06,760 Speaker 23: Waiting principles and to other cultural matters when they're coming 1348 01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:10,679 Speaker 23: up with resource consent conditions. Now, we can't get things 1349 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,400 Speaker 23: built in New Zealand if we're going to force the 1350 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:19,880 Speaker 23: companies to essentially perform ceremonial chanting every time they want 1351 01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,479 Speaker 23: to get something built. And that's why ACT committed to 1352 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:25,640 Speaker 23: scrapping the resource management We campaigned on that before the 1353 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 23: last election. We've got that into the National Act Coalition 1354 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,120 Speaker 23: agreement and one of the things I'm working on is 1355 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,679 Speaker 23: delivering a new piece of resource management law that's based 1356 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 23: on property rights and without this General Treaty principle's clause 1357 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:40,680 Speaker 23: that drives this kind of insanity. 1358 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:44,200 Speaker 3: Have you discussed with the locally about the need for 1359 01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:45,719 Speaker 3: these three separate cut of here? 1360 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,720 Speaker 23: Well, I haven't personally discussed it with them, but one 1361 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:51,839 Speaker 23: of the problems we've. 1362 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:52,120 Speaker 21: Got is. 1363 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,280 Speaker 3: Local Did the landmen, did anyone actually just say, hey, 1364 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 3: do we need to do all this stuff? Is as necessary? 1365 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 3: Because I mean they might do they even know? 1366 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 1: I mean? 1367 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:01,280 Speaker 8: Is this? 1368 01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 27: Well? 1369 01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:03,719 Speaker 8: Ryan? 1370 01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 23: I was a civil engineering project manager for nearly twenty 1371 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,680 Speaker 23: five years before I was elected as an ACT MP, 1372 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,200 Speaker 23: and what I do know is that the kind of 1373 01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,960 Speaker 23: questions you've asked, do we even need any of this stuff? 1374 01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 23: Are often asked at the projects stage. But once you 1375 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 23: go to your local council, they'll say, oh, Craigie, do 1376 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,559 Speaker 23: you know who the manafenua is in your area and 1377 01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:24,720 Speaker 23: have you consulted with them? And you say, well, no, 1378 01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,000 Speaker 23: what interests would they have in a solar farm? Well 1379 01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,520 Speaker 23: it turns out, according to counsel and under the RMA, 1380 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,559 Speaker 23: they do have an interest. And that's why councils keep 1381 01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,240 Speaker 23: enforcing all of these conditions on developers. And if you 1382 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 23: want your resource consent, eventually you're just going to roll 1383 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 23: over and say yes to it, no matter what the cost. 1384 01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 23: And that's why we have to replace the Resource Management 1385 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 23: Act with the system based on property right. So you 1386 01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 23: youb and I've given us elves to the end of 1387 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,040 Speaker 23: the year to introduce it, and we'll have that legislation 1388 01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:52,400 Speaker 23: into the House later this year. 1389 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,200 Speaker 3: Okay, so later this year when when will at part 1390 01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 3: by the end of by the start next year a 1391 01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:58,840 Speaker 3: path and. 1392 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 23: We're aiming to have it passed through all stages by 1393 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:07,160 Speaker 23: the middle of twenty twenty six and implemented in large 1394 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 23: part immediately, but with a full implementation date of one 1395 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 23: July twenty twenty seven. 1396 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 3: One July okay, but by mid twenty twenty six we 1397 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,559 Speaker 3: will have the legislation passed that will put an end 1398 01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:19,720 Speaker 3: to all of this. 1399 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 23: Well, what it's going to do is say, where there 1400 01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 23: was a treaty settlement and you know the government has 1401 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,840 Speaker 23: agreed that there are certain Ewe or hapu who have 1402 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,719 Speaker 23: a right to have their say at the planning stage, 1403 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:32,960 Speaker 23: then those. 1404 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,360 Speaker 4: Rights should be preserved. 1405 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 23: But when it comes to individual consent conditions like the 1406 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 23: I care one you referenced before saying up to seven 1407 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,639 Speaker 23: mon of fenoma, groups have to be consulted.

How's the market reacting? 1439 01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:17,800 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1440 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:21,040 Speaker 28: For going into the announcement today, the market was pricing 1441 01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 28: very low odds of a rate card at this meeting, 1442 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,320 Speaker 28: and in the statement, it was clear that the RBNZ 1443 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,760 Speaker 28: does still expect to lower the ocr further, which is 1444 01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:33,439 Speaker 28: consistent with what they outlined in May. Now post the statement, 1445 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:35,479 Speaker 28: there was actually a bit of volatility in the market 1446 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,479 Speaker 28: with New Zealand dollar swap rates and the currency moving 1447 01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 28: a little higher initially, but these moves they quickly unwound 1448 01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 28: and then they settled sort of roughly where you'd expect, 1449 01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,120 Speaker 28: given there were no real surprises. 1450 01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,519 Speaker 3: And what is the market expecting from here? 1451 01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 28: Yeah, So the interest rate market, it's pricing roughly a 1452 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,559 Speaker 28: two out of three chance of a cut in August 1453 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 28: and at least one full cut by Christmas. It's not 1454 01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,720 Speaker 28: too dissimilar to what it was thinking going into the 1455 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,479 Speaker 28: announcement today, and it's currently expecting around one and a 1456 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,400 Speaker 28: half to two further cuts from here in total, and 1457 01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,360 Speaker 28: that will see the end of the interest rate cutting cycle, 1458 01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 28: bottoming out it just under three percent. But whether these 1459 01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,800 Speaker 28: market views will change or not will really depend on 1460 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 28: where the domestic data lands and policy developments offshore. 1461 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 3: Remy Trump's all over the place on tariffs at the moment, 1462 01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 3: but has deadline self imposed deadline of night Drive technically 1463 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,920 Speaker 3: expires overnight tonight our time. How market's looking. 1464 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 28: Yeah, So you'll recall back in April, following the initial announcement, 1465 01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,280 Speaker 28: we saw global indices like the S and P five 1466 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 28: hundred dropped significantly, But over the last ninety days we've 1467 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:49,000 Speaker 28: seen a lot of recovery and new highs reached. Now 1468 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:51,519 Speaker 28: already this week we've seen Trump releasing some of his 1469 01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 28: tariff plans, but with a first of August implementation, and 1470 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 28: we've seen global equities edge down a little on sentiment, 1471 01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,680 Speaker 28: but only very slightly. And maybe one area to call 1472 01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,679 Speaker 28: out specifically is US pharmaceutical stocks, So they did pair 1473 01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,519 Speaker 28: back on some prior gains, and that was because there 1474 01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:11,160 Speaker 28: was some news overnight that they could be facing up 1475 01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 28: to two hundred percent tariffs on their products manufactured outside 1476 01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:18,280 Speaker 28: of the US, But it wasn't a major negative reaction, 1477 01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 28: and that's likely because those specific tariffs would have quite 1478 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 28: some time before they would potentially be implemented. So I 1479 01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,639 Speaker 28: think that I think things could still be a bit choppy, 1480 01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 28: but global equity markets have held up reasonably well so 1481 01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:32,800 Speaker 28: far amongst all of the noise. 1482 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,479 Speaker 3: I certainly have remy appreciate that update. Thank you, very much, 1483 01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:39,080 Speaker 3: Rumy Morgan Milford Asset Management.

I spoke to you last 1495 01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 3: night about Trump, and you've got to just follow what 1496 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,519 Speaker 3: he does, not what he says. That's the bat, that's 1497 01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:21,759 Speaker 3: the gist of the White House. But I've been looking 1498 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:23,599 Speaker 3: and for a couple of months now, I've been following 1499 01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:26,720 Speaker 3: Scott Beson. He's the Treasury secretary, right He's one of 1500 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,920 Speaker 3: Trump's right hand men and clearly very trusted. He's an 1501 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 3: old Wall Street guy. He's the one that designed some 1502 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,160 Speaker 3: of the tariffs. But he's also the one that got 1503 01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,280 Speaker 3: Trump to pull back from the brink and go with 1504 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 3: the ninety day pause. So thank you Scott Besson't because 1505 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 3: he's clearly an adult in the room. Now, I've been 1506 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,720 Speaker 3: trying to figure out what is going on with the 1507 01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:51,120 Speaker 3: deadlines extended in the last twenty four hours. Now, Trump's 1508 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:55,559 Speaker 3: sending letters threatening some countries, all of that bluster going on. Well, 1509 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,599 Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal has a backgrounder on these and 1510 01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:02,080 Speaker 3: they say that it's actually Bessent who again is behind it. 1511 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 3: He pushed Trump for an extension to delay the reciprocal 1512 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,360 Speaker 3: tariffts further. You know, Trump wanted to just throw the 1513 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,120 Speaker 3: baby out with the batha, to chuck the tariffs on 1514 01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:14,679 Speaker 3: and to hell with it, you know, let them burn. 1515 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:20,240 Speaker 3: Bessont has his ear, talks him down, says, actually, we're 1516 01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 3: close to a deal with the EU and close to 1517 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 3: a deal with India, which, if that's true, is massive, 1518 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,880 Speaker 3: and that's the holy grail. What kind of deal and 1519 01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,559 Speaker 3: how comprehensive, we don't know, but that's how he's managed 1520 01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 3: to do it. He said, give us a little more time. 1521 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,120 Speaker 3: We're nearly there with some of these big boys. Just 1522 01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 3: give us a little bit more time. And so they have. 1523 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 3: And so the compromise was, we will extend the deadline, 1524 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,839 Speaker 3: but we'll send some threatening letters so that Trump feels 1525 01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,439 Speaker 3: like he's you know, banging his chest and he's not 1526 01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 3: being pushed over and walked over. And that is where 1527 01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,440 Speaker 3: we are right now. The deadline official deadline does extend 1528 01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 3: overnight our time. Officially, it's just gone twenty four minutes 1529 01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:03,080 Speaker 3: after six rich and you know what that means, showbiz time. 1530 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,520 Speaker 3: As the sun sets on the superhero trend in Hollywood, 1531 01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,080 Speaker 3: a new movie out tomorrow is aiming to take back 1532 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:13,000 Speaker 3: the narrative and get you back to the cinema. 1533 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:17,799 Speaker 4: Superman, Miss Lane, in fact, you illegally entered the country. 1534 01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:18,920 Speaker 3: This is how you're going to be. 1535 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm not the one being interviewed Superman. 1536 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 3: So brand new take on Superman by Guardians of the 1537 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:30,200 Speaker 3: Galaxy director James Gunn, trying to reintroduce us to America's 1538 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 3: ultimate superhero, relatively unknown actor David Corn sweat unfortunate name, 1539 01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:41,000 Speaker 3: but he is Superman. Nicholas Holt is the bald, slimy 1540 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,760 Speaker 3: villain Lex Luthor. Reviews dropped today, so everyone wants to 1541 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,559 Speaker 3: know what's happening. Is it good? Is it worth watching? 1542 01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 3: Reviews drop today, the film receiving an eighty seven percent 1543 01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 3: positive rotten Tomatoes score on the review aggregate website. Critics 1544 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,880 Speaker 3: who saw the film early love a return to optimism 1545 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,360 Speaker 3: and blockbuster film filmmaking. They like the balance of humor 1546 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 3: and drama, which is great. Those who weren't so positive, 1547 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,080 Speaker 3: so the film feels bloated and unfocused, saying the attempt 1548 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:13,799 Speaker 3: to reinvent the wheel has instead made it rusty. Honestly, 1549 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,280 Speaker 3: who listens to these people? But well, obviously we do. 1550 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,160 Speaker 3: The director got in a bit of hot water earlier 1551 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 3: this week when he referred to Superman as an immigrant tale. 1552 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:25,080 Speaker 26: Hm. 1553 01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:29,800 Speaker 3: Many commentators jumped on the remark, calling the film super woke. 1554 01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:32,280 Speaker 4: We don't go to the movie theater to be lectured too, 1555 01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 4: and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us. 1556 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:36,480 Speaker 8: I wonder if it will be successful. 1557 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 3: That woman was from Fox News. The director's brother, Sean Gunn, 1558 01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,200 Speaker 3: who appears in the film, fired back at the comments, 1559 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,400 Speaker 3: saying we love our immigrants. If you don't like that, 1560 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,880 Speaker 3: then you're not American and you can find out for 1561 01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,479 Speaker 3: yourself if the film is super good or super terrible 1562 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 3: when it hits Kiwi Cinemas from tomorrow. Ryan Bridge just 1563 01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 3: glad that there's another movie out there. That I actually 1564 01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:04,320 Speaker 3: I should have asked and how long is it? Oh? Oh, 1565 01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,439 Speaker 3: you need to look that up runtime. I'm going to 1566 01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:08,639 Speaker 3: get Do you want to skip right. 1567 01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:09,880 Speaker 13: To the end so you can spoil that one as 1568 01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:11,559 Speaker 13: well if you spoiled it one earlier this week? 1569 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,439 Speaker 3: Oh, two hours nine, that's reasonable. That's reasonable. I suppose 1570 01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:17,320 Speaker 3: when you've got kids, or if you're trying to attract 1571 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,840 Speaker 3: younger people, you don't want them. They're too long, you know, 1572 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 3: because their attention spans are a lot shorter. Two hours 1573 01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,679 Speaker 3: nine I could do. I'm happy with that.

The company reckons 1596 01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,560 Speaker 3: drivers have too much freedom to be treated as employees 1597 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,320 Speaker 3: and should not receive leave and kei we Saver contributions, 1598 01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:02,759 Speaker 3: among other things. Trainee is The Herald's Wellington Business editor 1599 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,559 Speaker 3: and is with us tonight, Hi, Jannae evening Ryan. So 1600 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 3: the unions presented their evidence this morning. What do they argue, Yeah, 1601 01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:11,639 Speaker 3: that's right. 1602 01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:17,160 Speaker 27: The unions say that these drivers definitely are employees. They 1603 01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:20,400 Speaker 27: say that the level of control that Uber has over 1604 01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:25,240 Speaker 27: the way they go about making their income is so restrictive. 1605 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 27: They call it sort of relentless and intensive. They say 1606 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,360 Speaker 27: it's so intense that there is no way that these 1607 01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:38,240 Speaker 27: drivers are in fact contractors. So, you know, the lawyers 1608 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 27: for the unions ran through a number of things they 1609 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:46,439 Speaker 27: sort of picked apart the contracts that drivers you know, 1610 01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 27: sign with Uber, saying that the drivers have basically no 1611 01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,880 Speaker 27: power in these. So these contracts are non negotiable and 1612 01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,679 Speaker 27: Uber can change the terms and conditions as it wishes, 1613 01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 27: and the drivers kind of have no choice but but 1614 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:01,280 Speaker 27: to agree to these. 1615 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, So they basically say they had no choice but 1616 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,080 Speaker 3: to accept when Uber cut their fares. 1617 01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,799 Speaker 27: That's right. So one of the examples that the lawyer 1618 01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:14,000 Speaker 27: used was dating back a few years now, but he said, 1619 01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 27: you know that Uber changed the fares so that the 1620 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:20,680 Speaker 27: drivers received less income and also changed the way that 1621 01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,720 Speaker 27: the fares were calculated, and they just had to sort 1622 01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:27,439 Speaker 27: of suck it up and deal with it. So one 1623 01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 27: of the things that's been debated in court is the 1624 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 27: level of control that Uber has. Another thing that's been 1625 01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,799 Speaker 27: debated is just how related Uber is to the business. 1626 01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,519 Speaker 27: So Uber makes the case it says, well, actually, we're 1627 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,559 Speaker 27: not that involved. We just provide the platform and the 1628 01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:46,960 Speaker 27: real agreement is between the driver and the passenger. But 1629 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,000 Speaker 27: the union say that's not right. Uber plays a big 1630 01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 27: role because Uber sets the fair, then Uber collects the fair, 1631 01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 27: and then you know, gives the driver their cut from 1632 01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 27: there and Uber controls things like the sorts of information 1633 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,320 Speaker 27: it gives the drivers. It penalizes the drivers if they 1634 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,720 Speaker 27: don't get good ratings. The unions went so fast to 1635 01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:14,400 Speaker 27: say that Uber actually, you know, penalizes the drivers if 1636 01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:18,080 Speaker 27: they do something wrong when they're not even driving. So 1637 01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,840 Speaker 27: the unions that the judges just sitting in court for 1638 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,040 Speaker 27: a bit of the time. The judges seem quite receptive 1639 01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:28,759 Speaker 27: to the union's argument. But you know, Uber also said, well, 1640 01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:31,720 Speaker 27: our drivers want this, Like they've surveyed the drivers. They 1641 01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:34,760 Speaker 27: love the flexibility they can apparently apparently they love the 1642 01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 27: flexibility they can choose when they work. And you know, 1643 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:39,799 Speaker 27: Uber says they agree to this contract, no one forces 1644 01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:40,400 Speaker 27: them to sign it. 1645 01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 19: So it's a tough call. 1646 01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, what has Uber's defense been saying. 1647 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:52,720 Speaker 27: Well, basically that the flexibility is such that it's that 1648 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:57,280 Speaker 27: you can't possibly call the drivers employees. Now, Uber has 1649 01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:00,280 Speaker 27: been fighting this battle all around the world, and it 1650 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 27: says that the sort of contractor model is, I mean, 1651 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 27: it's central to the way it operates. So the fact 1652 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,320 Speaker 27: it's taken it to the Supreme Court, you know, shows 1653 01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:13,920 Speaker 27: how significant this is for Uber. A thing Ryan that's 1654 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 27: happening here in the background is that the government is 1655 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,599 Speaker 27: actually in the process of changing the law, so it's 1656 01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,040 Speaker 27: a bit more prescriptive on you know what exactly it 1657 01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:26,839 Speaker 27: constitutes being a contractor versus an employee. So the effect 1658 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 27: of this case could be significant for other people in 1659 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:34,240 Speaker 27: the goog economy, but perhaps the salience of it might 1660 01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:37,360 Speaker 27: not be as great because the government is actually changing 1661 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:40,040 Speaker 27: the law to provide some clarity in the space. 1662 01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, fascinating case. We'll keep watching that it is still going. 1663 01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:45,639 Speaker 3: Is it presumably in the Supreme Court there, Jane. 1664 01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:48,200 Speaker 27: I think it wrapped up today. It was set down 1665 01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,559 Speaker 27: for two days, so I guess it'll take the judges 1666 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,880 Speaker 27: some time to deliberate. But it'll be interesting to see 1667 01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:58,120 Speaker 27: whether the outcome is announced before the law is. 1668 01:26:58,120 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 19: Changed or not. 1669 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,439 Speaker 27: So it's quite a bit there for the lawyers to digest. 1670 01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:04,600 Speaker 3: I think absolutely, and one might sort of null and 1671 01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 3: void the other. Anyway, Jay, appreciate your time, Trainee and 1672 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 3: the New Zealand Herald Wellington Business Editor. On the show tonight, 1673 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,559 Speaker 3: twenty one minutes away from seven o'clock, we'll get to 1674 01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:15,360 Speaker 3: the UK next with Gavin. 1675 01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,760 Speaker 2: Gray encroaching the numbers and getting the results it's Ryan 1676 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 2: Bridge with the business hour and mass. 1677 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 1: Insurance and investments. Grew your wealth, protect your future. The 1678 01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 1: news dogs' b. 1679 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,679 Speaker 3: It is eight minutes away from seven o'clock now, no sorry, 1680 01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 3: eighteen minutes away from seven o'clock Ryan. Lots of Uber 1681 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:38,280 Speaker 3: drivers are also on bolt Aller and other taxi platforms. 1682 01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,120 Speaker 3: D D I think is the new one, the Chinese 1683 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,120 Speaker 3: one that's coming here. They choose which platform they take 1684 01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,040 Speaker 3: a ride from at any point in time. It just 1685 01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,640 Speaker 3: came back from Europe exactly the same situation. They're not 1686 01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,360 Speaker 3: sure how that works for an employee. It's a really 1687 01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:54,000 Speaker 3: good point if you have multiple you know, if you're 1688 01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:59,800 Speaker 3: running multiple apps on your ride share, you're not an employee. 1689 01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 3: Let's be honest. Well, well, I suppose you could be 1690 01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:04,679 Speaker 3: an employee of all of them. But trying to argue 1691 01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:06,120 Speaker 3: that in court, you'd have to think you'd have a 1692 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:09,160 Speaker 3: hard time. One thing I noticed when I got an 1693 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,800 Speaker 3: Uber last time. It gives you an alert now on 1694 01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,880 Speaker 3: the app before you get in the car, to tell you, 1695 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:19,120 Speaker 3: well two things. One if there's a bike lane nearby 1696 01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,160 Speaker 3: or something, in case you open your door and had 1697 01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:25,240 Speaker 3: a cyclist. The other thing, it popped up and said 1698 01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:27,559 Speaker 3: to me the other day is be where you're being filmed, 1699 01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,760 Speaker 3: which if you have had a few drinks and this 1700 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,000 Speaker 3: actually happened to do you remember the guys? Was it 1701 01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 3: Stefanovic over in Australia. He's a actor, a TV presenter 1702 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,040 Speaker 3: or something. He got on the back of a taxi, 1703 01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:46,040 Speaker 3: had a conversation with his brother. The taxi driver was 1704 01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 3: actually secretly recording the whole thing and then leaked it 1705 01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:50,800 Speaker 3: to the press. But it just got me thinking, I mean, 1706 01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:54,120 Speaker 3: if you don't snog your partner in the back of 1707 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:58,400 Speaker 3: a taxi, don't swear, don't do anything stupid, because when 1708 01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 3: you get into an uber at least this is how 1709 01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to treat all ubers from henceforth. You're basically 1710 01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:08,120 Speaker 3: on Candid Camera sixteen to seven. Bryan Bridge, Kevin Gray 1711 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:12,040 Speaker 3: are UK europe correspondent Devin Good morning, good evening either 1712 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 3: right now, Emanuel Macron is in London for the first 1713 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,839 Speaker 3: state visit of a European state leader since Brickset. 1714 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,639 Speaker 26: Yes, that's right, and it's the first visit state visit 1715 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:27,760 Speaker 26: of a French president here for seventeen years. The UK 1716 01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:29,559 Speaker 26: government when it came in just over a year ago 1717 01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:33,360 Speaker 26: promised to reset the relationship with the European Union and 1718 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 26: that of course over the Brexit vote and this three 1719 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:41,000 Speaker 26: day visit day two today the carpet is red carpet 1720 01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:45,280 Speaker 26: quite literally being rolled out for Emmanuel Macron and his wife. 1721 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:49,000 Speaker 26: They were greeted by King Charles and Queen Camilla. He 1722 01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,439 Speaker 26: then gave a speech to Parliament talking about how both 1723 01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 26: countries have a duty to tackle illegal migration quote with humanity, 1724 01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:00,960 Speaker 26: solidarity and firmness. And it's very much topic of choice 1725 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,000 Speaker 26: at the moment, with numbers spiking again getting across the 1726 01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:08,519 Speaker 26: English Channel to the UK in small boats. But many 1727 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:12,160 Speaker 26: here in France believe that I believe rather that France 1728 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 26: simply isn't doing enough to stop those small boats crossing 1729 01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:19,719 Speaker 26: the channel, despite being given tens of millions of pounds 1730 01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:24,360 Speaker 26: taxpayers money here to fight the criminal gangs operating over there. Anyway, 1731 01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,920 Speaker 26: today the tour continues. They go through Windsor and also 1732 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,639 Speaker 26: visit the tomb of the late. 1733 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:34,560 Speaker 3: Queen interesting Germany accusing China's military of targeting one of 1734 01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:35,880 Speaker 3: its aircraft with a laser. 1735 01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:40,360 Speaker 26: Yes, the Chinese ambassador has been summoned to the German 1736 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:43,880 Speaker 26: Foreign Ministry over this claims of this incident that they 1737 01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:47,520 Speaker 26: say happened at the start of this month. The tensions 1738 01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:51,880 Speaker 26: come as really concerns mount in the European Union about 1739 01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:55,519 Speaker 26: the influence that China is having on critical technologies and 1740 01:30:55,600 --> 01:31:01,519 Speaker 26: also security infrastructure in Europe. Now, according to Germany's Defense Ministry, 1741 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:04,760 Speaker 26: they say the aircraft was taking part in the European 1742 01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:09,320 Speaker 26: Union ASPIDES mission, which is a response to attacks on 1743 01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:13,400 Speaker 26: international shipping in the Red Sea by the Uti rebels 1744 01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:17,599 Speaker 26: backed by Irana coss Now. Operation ASPDES is purely a 1745 01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:23,599 Speaker 26: defensive mission to increase maritime surveillance, but it is thought 1746 01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:27,519 Speaker 26: that during that point in time, maritime surveillance aircraft has 1747 01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:30,360 Speaker 26: been carrying out reconnaissance work over the Red Sea, and 1748 01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 26: the Chinese warship, which had been encountered several times in 1749 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,680 Speaker 26: the Red Sea, targeted the aircraft with a laser for 1750 01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:43,080 Speaker 26: no reason and prior communication had not been conducted during 1751 01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:47,200 Speaker 26: this routine mission flight and by using the laser, the 1752 01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:51,840 Speaker 26: Germans are saying the warship was put at risk both 1753 01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,639 Speaker 26: the equipment and the personnel on board, but very few 1754 01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,000 Speaker 26: other details at the moment. The Chinese denying any such 1755 01:31:58,080 --> 01:31:58,639 Speaker 26: laser was. 1756 01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 3: Fired now TV present so we all know him here 1757 01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:06,160 Speaker 3: mastership BBC. What's happening with him? 1758 01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,120 Speaker 26: Well, so, of course he's been off our screens for 1759 01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:14,760 Speaker 26: a while after allegations surfaced of inappropriate misconduct or inappropriate 1760 01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:20,799 Speaker 26: sexual comments. And now we learn that, according to reports, 1761 01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:24,320 Speaker 26: at least he has been sacked and removed from the 1762 01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,880 Speaker 26: program and removed as a presenter by the production company 1763 01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:32,479 Speaker 26: that makes Master Chef and other things called Banaja. Now 1764 01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:36,120 Speaker 26: he has come out fighting. He's issued a statement saying 1765 01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:38,080 Speaker 26: if you think I'm going to go quietly or wrong, 1766 01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:42,040 Speaker 26: basically saying that a lot of these allegations are completely 1767 01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:46,240 Speaker 26: false and that the BBC investigation has ultimately shown that 1768 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:52,479 Speaker 26: the most serious allegations are completely incorrect. So, for his part, 1769 01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,160 Speaker 26: Greg Wallace said quote, I will not go quietly. I 1770 01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:58,400 Speaker 26: will not be canceled for convenience. I was tried by 1771 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,120 Speaker 26: media and hung out to dry well before the facts 1772 01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:04,680 Speaker 26: were established, and has accused the BBC of peddling baseless 1773 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:10,800 Speaker 26: and sensationalized gospel masquerading as properly corroborated stories. Meanwhile, Ryan, 1774 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:15,479 Speaker 26: it's alleged to further fifty people have come forward alleging 1775 01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:21,600 Speaker 26: inappropriate conduct, including dropping his trousers allegedly when people go 1776 01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:25,680 Speaker 26: into his dressing room without wearing any underwear, and inappropriate 1777 01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,000 Speaker 26: comments as well. So I think this one is set 1778 01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,360 Speaker 26: to wrangle on for some considerable time. But it looks 1779 01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,479 Speaker 26: like he won't be on our TV screens for a 1780 01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 26: while yet. 1781 01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,760 Speaker 3: No, it sounds like rightly so if that's true. Hey, 1782 01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:40,960 Speaker 3: London looked absolutely beautiful. And the images that we're seeing 1783 01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:44,680 Speaker 3: coming out of London with the French President Macron and 1784 01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:47,679 Speaker 3: his wife Beer and they're in the horse and carriage 1785 01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,200 Speaker 3: with King Charles, it just looks beautiful. 1786 01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,120 Speaker 26: Yeah, it's a great time of year. A little bit 1787 01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:55,960 Speaker 26: too hot for some of those dressed up in all 1788 01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:59,680 Speaker 26: the finery yesterday our sense, but yeah, it was really good.

That's because Buckingham Palace is under such huge 1791 01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 26: renovation at the moment. Indeed, I think Donald Trump's visit 1792 01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:11,320 Speaker 26: in a couple of months time we'll see a similar 1793 01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:16,599 Speaker 26: tactic entertained that Windsor are not at Buckingham Palace.

One hundred 1823 01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:39,120 Speaker 13: and ninety million US dollars they raised for the three 1824 01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:42,640 Speaker 13: charities they were raising money for, which were Pure Parkinson's, 1825 01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:46,040 Speaker 13: the Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Acorn Children's Hospice. I 1826 01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:48,400 Speaker 13: just did the back of the envelope calculations. I think 1827 01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:51,000 Speaker 13: it's about three hundred and sixteen million New Zealand dollars 1828 01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:52,040 Speaker 13: that they raised for charity there. 1829 01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:52,840 Speaker 3: I didn't realize this. 1830 01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,439 Speaker 13: They were selling pay per views to the live stream, 1831 01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:57,360 Speaker 13: so if you wanted to watch the live stream, you 1832 01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,639 Speaker 13: had to pay, which we've seen for like boxing fights 1833 01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:01,840 Speaker 13: and you have ce fights and stuff before.
