Erica Stanford on the new cash for classrooms. 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: We have got everyone recognizing Palestine. We're in the UK 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: Finance Minister Nicola Willis after six and is bye bye 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: to the dirty imported Indonesian Cole Huntley is going to 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: buy local. 12 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 3: Bryan Bridge. 13 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: So fast Track's got a problem. And you may have 14 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: noticed this, it's not fast enough. Eight months in only 15 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: wait for it, two projects have been approved, not even started, 16 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: just approved. The mining in Tartanaki is still with the 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: sea word consultation aka delayed, and word is that every 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: man and his dog is lining up to have their say, 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: including Mount Tartanaki. Literally quite how you ask a mountain? 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: It's thought some feelings is beyond me. But are we 21 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: even surprised about this at this point? Shane Zones is 22 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: mythed He says the EPA, which is looking into all 23 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: of this stuff, has apparently hired a former forest and 24 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: bird lawyer to do that. Good luck everybody, All this 25 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: while we got eight hundred million bucks worth of minerals 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: just sitting there under the ocean. Now, all of this 27 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: could have been avoided if the government didn't cave to 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: the media and the legal scholars and the green mafia 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: and just give the politicians all the power in the 30 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: world to override whatever they want. So the delays and 31 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: the consultation are actually by design. In Auckland, you've got 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: Eden Park. Eden Park, they tell us, is choking under regulation. 33 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: So why not use your new RMA superpowers to unshackle it? 34 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: I ask, well, you can't. Why you have to consult first? 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: Why because again the government specifically designed the lord change 36 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: this way so that they would have to the windmills 37 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 2: they want to put it in South Tartanaki. One local 38 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: Hapuo is taking their opposition to this to the United Nations. 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: You can see the problem here, can't you. This country 40 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: is its own worst enemy. We bitch and moan about 41 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: the GDP number last week, we freak out about the 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: manufacturing jobs disappearing, and rightly so. But as soon as 43 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: it's time to do something about it, to create something 44 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: new and industry or a mine, we oppose it. We 45 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: slow it down, we delay. So either we accept that 46 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: you can't have everything for nothing, and that creating new 47 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: jobs and growth will cost us something, but it's worth it, 48 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: or we accept that actually we're poor and happy to 49 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: stay that way. 50 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: Brian Bridge collor Josh lay Since last week, just like 51 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 4: we always talked about, you're so excite. 52 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: The numbers text would love your feedback. This afternoon, just 53 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: gone nine after four. If all goes to plan, you 54 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: could be using a digital driver's license by the end 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: of the year, no more physical license and this would 56 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: be stored on a government app. Digital Services Minister Judicon 57 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: says quote. The main thing is to not stuff it 58 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: all up. Paul Spain's the CEO of Grilla Tech with 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: me this afternoon. Paul good, are you Ryan? Good to 60 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: have you on the show. How hard is this? What 61 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 2: is there to stuff up? 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 5: Well, there's losing losing our valuable data. I think you know, 63 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 5: most people would like their information kept private and not 64 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 5: not leaked all over the web. You know, I think 65 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 5: we want something that is as well well built and 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 5: as robust when when it launches. 67 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: That's that's really important. 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 5: It seems like they're trying to speed this along, and 69 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 5: you know that that could mean we end up with issues. 70 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 5: And yeah, as we know, governments and businesses are not 71 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 5: always very good at protecting our confidential data. So these 72 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 5: things need to be done in a really, really well 73 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 5: structured manner. 74 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: They've done this in New South Wales apparently very successfully, 75 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 2: and not just for the licenses but other products government 76 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: products as well. Is there are there places where they've 77 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: done this in an app and it's not been secure. Well. 78 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 5: I think what we've seen from governments all around the 79 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 5: world is the more data they collect, the more data 80 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 5: that they end up losing and leaking. So in the US, 81 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 5: for instance, they set up a database I think this 82 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 5: was at the border for people sort of crossing between 83 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 5: the US and Mexico with license plate information and you 84 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 5: know whose license plates related to her and so on. 85 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 5: That was done maybe at pace as well. They used 86 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 5: an external firm outside of government to do it, and 87 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 5: then it came out that all of this data that 88 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 5: was in there ended up being able to be accessed 89 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 5: by parties who shouldn't have had access to the data, 90 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 5: and we've seen that all around the world, you know, 91 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 5: including New Zealand, where government doesn't always do a great 92 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 5: job of keeping data that should be private private. 93 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: Paul, on that basis, will you keep your physical license 94 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: if you get the option. 95 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 5: Look, I'm always a big proponent for leveraging technology where 96 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 5: we can, so I'll be having a look at it, 97 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 5: probably pretty pretty carefully. 98 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: Get my head around it. 99 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 5: Reality is probably all of our driver's license data is 100 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 5: already you know, well, it is already in a database 101 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 5: that the government holds. It's going to be how different 102 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 5: is this approach and trying to weigh up the risks. 103 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 5: I think there'll be a lot of convenience factors of 104 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 5: being able to have our driver's license on our phone, So, 105 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 5: you know, I would say a lot of Us'll probably 106 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 5: move along in that direction pretty swiftly. 107 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: Paul, appreciate your time. Paul Spain's CEO at Guerrilla Tech. 108 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 2: It is twelve minutes after four ranhox B would like 109 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 2: your feedback on that. Nine two nine two Ryan, So, 110 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: under the proposed changes with the digital licenses, does that 111 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: mean I would have to have a phone if I 112 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: want to drive? 113 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 6: No? 114 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: You would still have the option. You would always have 115 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: the option, as I understand it, to have a physical license, Ryan, 116 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: I have my driving license on my phone fifteen years 117 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: ago when living in Australia. Well, aren't they just so 118 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: much more advanced than us? I personally have problems trusting government, 119 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: just generally, but especially with personal information. Do you know 120 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: I've been applying for Donas White long story, but applying 121 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: for rental properties recently, and you have to supply has 122 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: anyone experienced this or tried to do this recently?

You don't even have the property yet, 133 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: just to apply for the property, and then who knows 134 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: what they're doing with that information? And how many times 135 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: do you have to do that for how many different 136 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: companies think about all the information that would be about 137 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: you that would be out there right now with people 138 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: that you probably don't trust, you know.

They're 147 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: talking about bilateral relations You can't go through the UN 148 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: because the Americans block it. You need a Security Council 149 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: mandate for that. They don't have it. So you're talking 150 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: about a bilateral relationship between Palestine, whatever that is, and 151 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: your country.

His best ever Formula One finish 175 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 7: and let's hope that he can continue to improve from here. 176 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely and this best ever medal hall for US at 177 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: the World Athletic Champs. I mean fantastic to watch, fantastic result. 178 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 2: Is it too early to say this means good things 179 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: for LA? I don't think so. 180 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 4: No. 181 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 7: I mean LA does seem an awfully long way away 182 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 7: and is twenty twenty eight. But you think, Okay, Hamish 183 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 7: Khurr is going to be there, Jordy Beamis, who won 184 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 7: gold in the three thousand steeples, is going to be there. 185 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 7: And then you look at our pole vaulters. Eliza McCartney 186 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 7: may be touching go, but Olivia McTaggart and Emma Jennius, 187 00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 7: who both made. 188 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: The final, will be there. 189 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 7: Tory moreby seventh in the world, and the women's javelin 190 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 7: she'll be there, and others as well as Zoey Hobbs, 191 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 7: let's not forget her twelve fastest in the world. I 192 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 7: know these are off the podium, Ryan, but you know 193 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 7: we're three years to go and three years of development 194 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 7: for these athletes. Who knows what LA might bring. Got 195 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 7: the Commonwealth Games next year, of course, then another World 196 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 7: Champs before the Olympics, so some nice little milestones along 197 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 7: the way. 198 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: Brilliant stuff. Jason, Thank you, Jason Pines, forts talk host 199 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: seven o'clock tonight News TALKSBB. It's nineteen after four. You 200 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: know the big who haw that was going on at 201 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: Stockton Mine in the South Island, big protest. Those weird 202 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: people that spent twenty three days in the cold buckets 203 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: an update on the story. I'll have it for you next. 204 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Ryan Bridge on 205 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: hither dupless Ellen dre with one New Zealand coverage Like 206 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: no one else's News Talks, they'd be. 207 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: Four twenty two. Ryan. The digital license thing year Nah, 208 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: says Graham, seems like a solution to a non existent problem. Actually, 209 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: lots of people are saying that, Ryan, can you not 210 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: just take a photo of your license on your phone 211 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: and use that? I sort of I agree. I don't 212 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: think the police would accept that if you held up 213 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: a photo of your license and said, here you go, officer, 214 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: I am who I say who I say I am. 215 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: But I don't think it would work. You know, I 216 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: don't think it would work for anything legitimate. Maybe if 217 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 2: you're applying for, as I said earlier, rental property or something, 218 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: that'd be fine, But for anything official, maybe not. I 219 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: think the idea is that they would have an app. 220 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: This is just step one, and the app would allow 221 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 2: you to do a whole bunch of stuff with governments, 222 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: so there'd be other benefits to it. Hey, very quickly, 223 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: I want to run you through. This is from the 224 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 2: Nutbars and the Luney Bin story file. You'll remember the 225 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: protesters at the Stockton mine. Illegal occupation of the coal buckets, 226 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: right and the coal but it was dangerous that they 227 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: were up there. This is what the mind said. Well, 228 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: this is what you know police said as well. You 229 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: had that sort of old couple of old people who 230 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: were covered themselves ironically in plastic. They had cell phones, 231 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: they had plastic harnesses and all sorts of stuff, which 232 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 2: is just dripping an irony anyway, dangerously up there in 233 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: the coal buckets dangling in the air for twenty three days. 234 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: Apparently they threw their own because you wonder whether they 235 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 2: go number ones and number two is apparently they just 236 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: threw that over the side for twenty three days. So 237 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: pollution cross number one. Cross number two was that instead 238 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: of using the buckets, the coal mine had to use 239 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 2: trucks powered by diesel to move the coal So cross 240 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: number two, you've actually increased carbon emissions. Cross number three 241 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: was when they got helicopters come and check on them 242 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: all right, three crosses already. Now we've got an update 243 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: today the coal mine. The work is at the mine. 244 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 2: They just wanted to get rid of these guys, right, 245 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 2: and they were apparently using a few untoward or riskue 246 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 2: practices to do this, try and scare them off, including 247 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 2: a bird scarer, which basically sounds like a shotgun. So 248 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: they had the bird scarer. And now we've got a sound. Actually, 249 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 2: in case you were wondering, he a listen, sounds like that, 250 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: sounds like a gun. Now Doc is investigating these workers 251 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: because of the sirens and the sounds that might have 252 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: scared Kigwi on conservation land during mating season. I mean, 253 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: can you just story just won't stop, and in my mind, 254 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: don't go after the workers, go after the protesters who 255 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: were there in the first place, disturbing them. Three strikes, 256 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: four strikes, five strokes. Gosh, the story just keeps going 257 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 2: on and on. Anyway, I'm on the side of those 258 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: workers rather than the protesters. Twenty five after four, Bryan Bridge, 259 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: we're going to hear from Erica Stamford after five o'clock. 260 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: Because the governments, you could argue changing tack they've seared. Obviously, 261 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: we've cut money from things like housing and coying order 262 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: and construction is obviously going backwards, right, one point eight 263 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: percent in the last quarter, nearly ten percent over the 264 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: last year. And today the government's come out and said 265 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: we're going to put a bit more money into classrooms. 266 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: Here's the PM trip. 267 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 8: Last week, after six months of a growing economy, received 268 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 8: the news that growth went backwards in the second quarter 269 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 8: of this year, the months from the start of April 270 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 8: to the end of June. Although heavier than we would 271 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 8: have liked, the fall was not unexpected because uncertainty around 272 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 8: the impact of US tariffs had a significant impact on 273 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 8: a small trading nation like ourselves. All of that being said, 274 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 8: we're a government though, that listens, and where we can 275 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 8: help accelerate economic growth further, we always will. Today we're 276 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 8: announcing a four hundred and thirteen million dollar investment package 277 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 8: that will bring forward a significant volume of maintenance work 278 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 8: on school property to help boost the construction sector. This 279 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 8: will mean more work for tradees, more work for electricians 280 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 8: and plumbers and many more workers around the country. And 281 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 8: with that, I'll let Erica talk you through the details 282 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 8: of the announcement. 283 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to Erica after five o'clock. My 284 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: question would be, is this too little, too late? I mean, 285 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: if you had the money, some of it's new money, 286 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: If you had the money, you want to accelerate it. 287 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 2: Why didn't you accelerate it and try and help a 288 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: couple of months back? You know, it's not like construction 289 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: wasn't struggling. Then nine two the numbers text Erica Stamford 290 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: after five, the Palestine question after five, and after news 291 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: at fall thirty, we'll head to our Ossie correspondent on 292 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: why they recognized in the last twenty four hours. News 293 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: Talk said B. 294 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: Whatever, today's newsmakers talk to Ryan First, Ryan Bridge on 295 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: hither dupilusy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand and the 296 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: power of satellite mobile News Talk SIBB. 297 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, five minutes away from five year on news Talk, 298 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: said B. Coming up after five, we'll look at Palestine 299 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: and we'll look at Erica Stamford on the new cash 300 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: for classrooms. KI we bank this afternoon. It's predictable, but 301 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: they are now calling for and predicting more cuts to 302 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 2: the OCR we now expect. They say, fifty basis points. 303 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: This is October, You'll get fifty basis points, followed by 304 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: twenty five in November, a cash rate ending the year 305 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 2: at two point twenty five. They even say go as 306 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: far as saying, and I think for all from my reading, 307 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: they're the first to go this far, there's a fifty 308 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: to fifty chance of getting to two percent by February 309 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: two percent for an OCR. I obviously the economy took 310 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: a big hit in quarter two. We all know why 311 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: that happened. But I also think you need to be 312 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: aware of overreacting again. You know that's what Adrian all did, right. 313 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: We went too high, too fast, up the Mount Everest 314 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: of rate hikes after printing too hard and too much, 315 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: and then screwing the poach twice in different ways, all 316 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 2: of us on the advice by the way of so 317 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 2: called experts and economists.

I just think 320 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: you need to be careful how far one way or 321 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: the other you go At least we end up in 322 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: the very same situation that we are right now, twenty 323 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 2: four away from five. 324 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on news dogs. 325 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 2: He'd drive marathon commemorations ceremony for Charlie Kirk in the 326 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: US eight hours minus the music.

So 344 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 9: the question is whether he possessed with fruitless attempts to 345 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 9: achieve our ultimate goal of denuclearization before we somewhere realistic galls. 346 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 2: Of course he's not going to give that up. It's 347 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 2: his only card to play. Finally, one for leopard sharks, 348 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 2: it takes more than two to tango. Apparently, for the 349 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 2: first time ever, leopard sharks have been caught on camera 350 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 2: engaging in a little minachetoire, the whole event apparently taking 351 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: one hundred and ten seconds, which sounds about right afterwards 352 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 2: the male shark, because I was wondering the six it 353 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: says here the male sharks, so presumably two male, one 354 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: female needed a rest on the ocean floor. 355 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 356 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 357 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 2: Twenty two away from five OLI Pedison six pr PERS 358 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 2: Live presenter with us OLI. Good afternoon, Good afternoon, Ryan. 359 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: So what's the justification for Australian recognizing Palestine's statehood? 360 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 14: Well, the Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi believes that this will 361 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 14: send a message to Palestine. That's obviously Australia believes that 362 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 14: we can have peace in the Middle East on the proviso, 363 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 14: of course, that all the hostages returned to Israel. The PM, 364 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 14: obviously there at the United Nations hoping to catch up 365 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 14: with Donald Trump, says a recognition of Palestine is a 366 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 14: step forward towards Israelis and Palestinians living side by side 367 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 14: in peace and security and advancing the prosperity of both peoples. 368 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 14: I highly doubt that, with all due respect to the 369 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 14: Prime Minister of Australia, that anybody in Israel or Palestine 370 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 14: is going to take too much notice of his hopes 371 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 14: and desires for peace in the Middle East. But look, 372 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 14: it is just fascinating at the moments when the Prime 373 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 14: Minister has failed in his negotiations with both Vanawatu and 374 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 14: Pappia New Guinea. He's in New York, as I said, 375 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 14: for the United Nations Assembly. He's hoping to catch up 376 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 14: with Donald Trump. He doesn't have a meeting scheduled with 377 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 14: the US presidents, and he has a lot of demands 378 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 14: which have come through from the Republicans. He may have 379 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 14: seen this over the weekend Ryan where a number of 380 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 14: Republicans have co signed a letter basically saying if Australia 381 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 14: were to recognize a Palestinian state, which is what we 382 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 14: have done, then the orcust Agreement should be scrapped. Is 383 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 14: effectively what they are threatening, and that there would be 384 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 14: consequences for the relationship between Australia and the United States, 385 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 14: the fact that the PM has not been able to 386 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 14: get the ear or confirm that he will get the 387 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 14: ear of the US President with how important Orcus is 388 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 14: for Australia right now, and he's never actually had a 389 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 14: face to face conversation with Donald Trump. G I would 390 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 14: hate to be him right now without secure during that 391 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 14: meeting over the next couple of days, because we have 392 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 14: got a lot of questions being asked in this country 393 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 14: today about what exactly our foreign policy is. 394 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the in game for Australia now? The optus, 395 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: the Triple zero outage, the fallout from this, is the 396 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: CEO going to survive? You reckon? 397 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 12: Probably not. 398 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 14: Stephen Rue has really handled this appallingly on a number 399 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 14: of fronts, not just the fact that we've had four 400 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 14: people die as a result of the outage of the 401 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 14: Triple zero telephone number. He did it at about six 402 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 14: o'clock Eastern Standard Time on Friday, so you know, Ryan 403 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 14: and our listeners would know that you take out the 404 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 14: trash on a Friday, try and bury a story that 405 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 14: it might not get as much coverage. He has done 406 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 14: this as the National News Services on the East Coast 407 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 14: are going to air. This continues to Biden. It has 408 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 14: all over the weekend, it does again today. But not 409 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 14: just the fact that the timing of the announcement was poor. 410 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 14: Nobody had opted had actually informed anybody within the government, 411 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 14: either the federal govern or the State government of Australia. 412 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 14: So when Stephen Rude made this statement on Friday afternoon 413 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 14: in front of the cameras, that was the first time 414 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 14: that the Federal Communications Minister, Annika Wells found out about this. 415 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 12: So look, Stephen, who's only been in the job for 416 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 12: about a year. 417 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 14: Optice has gone from controversy to controversy after the data 418 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 14: hack and now this he came from the National Broadband Network. 419 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 12: He has been asked about his future, saying it's not 420 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 12: about me. 421 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 14: It is about the lives that have been lost and 422 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 14: we need to get to the bottom of what actually happened. 423 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 14: The Prime Minister, though, has said that he be surprised 424 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 14: if the boss wasn't considering his future. 425 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 12: So I don't see how Stephen rue survives this. 426 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 14: But a terrible example of public relations and communications. When 427 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 14: they're in that business, Ryan, they're a telco, they're in 428 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 14: the communications business. 429 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 12: And I kind of get the communications right. 430 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 2: No, exactly, Olive very quickly before you go.

To France, and they've got a big a 463 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 2: problem with debt in France, they have well, they have 464 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 2: many problems, many and many problems in France, chewing through 465 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 2: the prime ministers can't pass a budget. Parliament divided into 466 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: thirds left right center. No one can decide on a 467 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 2: budget anyway. No, this is the richest man in Europe. 468 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 2: I think guy who owns Moway and Louis Vuitton founded 469 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 2: a bunch of luxury good companies. He's come out swinging 470 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 2: against a recent idea for a wealth tax, so he 471 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 2: said to be the end of France. He says it 472 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: would basically kill the economy. You'd get a two percent 473 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: tax on wealth for those worth more than one hundred 474 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: million euros. He would have to He estimates he'd have 475 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: to pay billion euros based on his net worth. And 476 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 2: this is the problem because there are two different estimates 477 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: for how much revenue this tax would pay to fill 478 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: the gap left by the extravagant spending of the French state. 479 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 2: He said, either you would get twenty billion euros or 480 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: you would get five billion euros. Twenty billion if all 481 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: the rich people stayed, five billion if all the rich 482 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: people leave, And therein lies your problem.

Will New Zealand 500 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 15: recognize a Palestinian state? As you say, Foreign Minister Winston 501 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 15: Peters is in New York at the United Nations Leaders 502 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 15: Week that's ahead of the UN General Assembly, and mister 503 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 15: Peters is expected to make New Zealand's position on potential 504 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 15: formal recognition of a Palestinian state clear at that UN meeting. 505 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 15: As you say, in terms of our allies, we're seeing 506 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 15: quite a lot of progress from other countries on this. 507 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 15: British Prime Minister Sir Kiir Starmer has announced his government 508 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 15: does support a state of Palestine. 509 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 16: Of the growing horror in the Middle East, we are 510 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 16: acting to keep alive the possibility of peace and a 511 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 16: two state solution that means a safe and secure Israel 512 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 16: alongside a viable Palestinian state at the moment, we have neither. 513 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 15: But arguably even more important for New Zealand is Australia. 514 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 15: They are making the same move and. 515 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 17: This recognition being announced today in sync with our international partners, 516 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 17: the United Kingdom and Canada, means that three of the 517 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 17: Five Eyes nations are all making this decision today. 518 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 15: And interesting that he spoke about the Five Eyes countries 519 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 15: there as another Five Eyes country is New Zealand. So 520 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 15: the two Anthony Albanezi, the Ossie Prime Minister referring to 521 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 15: their New Zealand and the United States, the latter very 522 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 15: firm in its support of Israel, and speaking about israel, 523 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 15: It's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, quote, I have a 524 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 15: clear message to those leaders who are recognizing a Palestinian 525 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 15: state after the horrendous October seven massacre. You are rewarding 526 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 15: terror with an enormous prize. It's kind of similar actually 527 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 15: to what act Party leader David Seymour has said in 528 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 15: the past about the matter, which was really that we 529 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 15: should not recognize a country that is holding hostages. But 530 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 15: Seymour got a bit of a telling off from Winston 531 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 15: Peters about those remarks. 532 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: That was a good degreement. That's what he's broken. 533 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 18: I'm sorry, there's no time for novices. 534 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 15: And just today, within the past few hours, the Prime 535 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 15: Minister has confirmed he's spoken to act Leader David Seymour 536 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 15: after he gave his take on the matter last week. 537 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 15: Chris Luxon gave us some detail just now into what 538 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 15: that conversation looked like. 539 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 8: Winston speaking for us on foreign affairs and he's the 540 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 8: one that's leading the our Kevinet through that position. We 541 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 8: want to make sure we've got accountable ministers talking to 542 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 8: their portfolios and it's important everyone respects those lanes. 543 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 15: And this comes after David Seymour got a bit of 544 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 15: a telling off for writing a letter to the UN 545 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 15: defending the regulatory ste and its bill. But back on 546 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 15: the topic of the Middle East, the Coalition will come 547 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 15: to one agreement on the matter as a government. That's 548 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 15: the expectation. It's also worth noting these countries that have 549 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 15: supported formal recognition are making it absolutely clear that any 550 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 15: future governance arrangement will not include terrorist group humas that 551 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 15: is out of the picture. So yes, New Zealand yet 552 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 15: to confirm and finalize its position on whether or not 553 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 15: it will make that formal recognition. The Prime Minister, though 554 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 15: does say a preliminary decision has been made. Whinston Peters 555 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 15: is expected to speak at the UN between Friday and 556 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 15: Sunday in terms of making a formal statement on behalf 557 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 15: of New Zealand on this matter. All eyes will be 558 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 15: on New York as that takes place. 559 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: All right, Azariah. The more money, bitter, new money and 560 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 2: some accelerations is for school property investment, fixing up the classrooms. 561 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, so this is an announcement from today. The Government's 562 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 15: announced it will be accelerating four hundred and thirteen million 563 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 15: dollars of investment into school infrastructure. It's aimed at improving classrooms, 564 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 15: but also has a bit of a silver lining as 565 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 15: well in terms of a bit of another detail giving 566 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 15: more confidence to builders and tradees. It includes two hundred 567 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 15: and fifty five million dollars of improvements on all isolated, 568 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 15: small and rural schools, estimated to be about half of 569 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 15: state schools. However, some of the budge, some of the 570 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 15: funding is from Budget twenty twenty four and is now 571 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 15: being able to be delivered. So while there is fifty 572 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 15: eight million dollars of new funding, about one hundred million 573 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 15: comes from budget twenty four eighty million comes from the 574 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 15: Ministry of Education baseline and one hundred and seventy five 575 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 15: million is brought forward funding. So Minister of Education Ericus 576 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 15: Stanford has made the announcement in Auckland this afternoon with 577 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 15: the Prime Minister and she is promising quote, every single 578 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 15: school will get something. 579 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 10: Well maintained classrooms are not a luxury, they are a 580 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 10: must have and they are a foundation for a very 581 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 10: strong education system. 582 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 15: Plus it's also expected to bring much needed boost for 583 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 15: the construction sector. 584 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: There, Zara, appreciate your time, Issarah. How four politics it 585 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: is eight minutes away from six from five rather on 586 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 2: news talk sav B. Just a lot of techs coming 587 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 2: in on Gaza and on Palestine and recognizing Palestine as 588 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 2: a state ry. What is the upside to us doing this? 589 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 2: And I tend to agree with that. If it was 590 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: going to say the life or end hunger, you would 591 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 2: do it in a heartbeat. But it's not, is it. 592 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not going to do that. And Starmar 593 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: in the UK actually only one in ten Brits agreed 594 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: with him recognizing Palestine, but he's gone ahead and done 595 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 2: it anyway. Media talks about it a lot. You know, 596 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 2: the priests chained themselves up to Nicholas office wearing nappings. 597 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: I mean, for goodness sakes, it's not a vote winner. 598 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 2: It's also not going to change much. Israeli exports zero 599 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 2: point three percent, by the way, So do they care 600 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 2: what we think? Probably not? And is it going to 601 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 2: change the world? No, will we do it? I don't 602 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: think so.

Tell me I've had a read of Pennywong's statement. 648 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 2: What exact or who exactly are they recognizing here? 649 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 19: Well, the recognition is for a Palestinian state, and this 650 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 19: state is hypothetically, at some point in the future, would 651 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 19: exist on the boundaries of the nineteen sixty seven and 652 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 19: General Resolution to for two, which was which recognized rather 653 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 19: the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip as 654 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 19: occupied territory. So this state is a future Palestinian state 655 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 19: that would exist on these borders. And for the time being, 656 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 19: the recognition is for the Palestinian governance structure, which is 657 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 19: represented by the Palestinian Authority, which would then be treated 658 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 19: as a state again waiting for a future point where 659 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 19: this government would actually turn into a state and have 660 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 19: sovereignty over land and territory, and that l being the 661 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 19: West Bank, the Gaza Strip as well as East Jerusalem. 662 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 2: Okay, so a lot of water to go under a 663 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 2: lot of different bridges there in order to get to 664 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 2: that point. Given how hypothetical it is, is it just 665 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 2: more symbolic? 666 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,479 Speaker 19: I think the symbolic nature of this is not only 667 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 19: because it's a hypothetical future scenario where facts on the 668 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 19: ground suggest and point the other way, which is total 669 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 19: Israeli control over this area. But the symbolic nature is 670 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 19: related to the context that exists today in these territories 671 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 19: that I just mentioned. In the West Bank, we are 672 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 19: facing and we are witnessing an accelerated rate of displacement 673 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 19: as well as Israeli annexation. East Jerusalem was annexed to 674 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 19: his role in the nineteen eighties. And in the Gaza 675 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 19: Strip we are witnessing what the United Nations and the 676 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 19: world's leading international organizations are describing as a genocide as 677 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 19: well as ethnic cleansing. So this is the context under 678 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 19: which Palestinians live right now, as including Palestinian governance, including 679 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 19: the Palestinian government and the Palestinian governing elites. So the 680 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 19: symbolic nature is really related to this reality rather than 681 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 19: the other points, which is it's not necessarily there. There 682 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 19: isn't currently sovereignty on the ground. It's a hypothetical state. 683 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 10: And so on. 684 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 2: All right, interesting stuff, Doctor and Tite with us senior 685 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 2: lecture Arab and Islamic Studies at. 686 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 10: The A and U. 687 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 2: It is ten after five. Ryan Bridge Judgment's trying to 688 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 2: get the cash out the door quickly. This is to 689 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 2: help the tradees keep their jobs. They're accelerating funding as 690 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 2: part of a four hundred million dollar fund to fix 691 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 2: up and maintain old multi classrooms which we no need 692 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 2: to be fixed. This comes after, of course, we had 693 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 2: a one point eight percent drop in construction quarter two, 694 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 2: a ten percent drop over the last year. Education Minister 695 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 2: Erica Stanford is with me, Minister, good evening. HELLI hi, 696 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 2: very well, thank you. Why accelerate this funding now? Why 697 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 2: not six twelve months ago when the trades really needed it. 698 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 3: Well, we were. 699 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 10: Already doing a huge amount. This is accelerated. But if 700 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 10: you look at the amount of classrooms we built over 701 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 10: the last year, it's thirty percent more than the year before. 702 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 10: Last year, on the year before that, this year we've 703 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 10: got to build more than we did the year before that, 704 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 10: and I've got eight hundred million dollars of stuff in 705 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 10: the pipeline between now and Christmas. So we were already 706 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 10: doing a huge amount of heavy lifting in education. And 707 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 10: the reason we're able to do that is because we 708 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 10: got our act together, because you remember I turned up 709 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 10: and it was an absolute unmitigated disaster with hundreds of 710 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 10: projects unfunded. Basically, we've got to go act together. We've 711 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 10: got the property report done, We're building classrooms at half 712 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 10: the price, We've accelerated the number of classrooms we're building. 713 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 10: This is just the next step because we're in the 714 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 10: position to be. 715 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 20: Able to do it. 716 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: Okay, you're saying money now, how much money just for 717 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 2: our trades listening? How much money is going to be 718 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 2: available this side of Christmas that wasn't going to be 719 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 2: available before this announcement. 720 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 10: Well, there's fifty eight million dollars of new money which 721 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 10: is going to be going out the door very quickly. 722 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 10: So school, every single school up and down the country 723 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 10: is going to be getting a fifty percent top up 724 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 10: on the school property maintenance grant. 725 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 12: So from when school now now, it'll. 726 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 10: Be available now. Schools usually will do it over the 727 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 10: school holiday, so we're going out to every school. They'll 728 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 10: know now they'll be getting a form that says what 729 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 10: are you going to do with it? Because we're going 730 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 10: to track it, which we haven't done in the past, 731 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 10: but under this government we will What are you going 732 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 10: to do with it? When a you're going to do 733 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 10: it and get we're gonna get money out the door. 734 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 10: So this is for things like painting and washing and 735 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 10: gutters and fact minor fixed up and roofing and bits 736 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 10: and pieces, but it is significant. There'll be some schools 737 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 10: will be getting one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The 738 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 10: small schools will be getting well more than a fifty 739 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 10: fifty percent uptick. They'll be getting a minimum of five thousand. 740 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 10: So for a very small school, you know, with just 741 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 10: you know, a handful of students, they'll be getting more 742 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 10: than that fifty percent. 743 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 2: All right, minister, appreciate your time tonight.

He mentioned Jimmy Kimmel without saying Jimmy Kimmel's name. 773 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 21: Over the last eleven days, we have heard stories of commentators, 774 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,760 Speaker 21: influencers and others in our society who greeted his assassination 775 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 21: with sick approval, excuses or even jubilation. 776 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 3: You've heard that so have I couldn't believe it. 777 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 13: You know the names, they're major losers by the way, 778 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 13: they'll be that will be proven out in a short 779 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 13: period of time. 780 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 2: Right, great to see they made a spectacle of that. 781 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 2: It is fourteen minutes after five interesting thing happened.

We don't believe that the criteria 813 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 22: for this have been met or are met, so I 814 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 22: guess we'll be interested along with everyone else to see 815 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 22: what happens. I don't know. I think, of course, I think, 816 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 22: but Health New Zealand, you know, if they put as 817 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 22: much time and energy into working on the sums and 818 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 22: thinking about what money they could bring to the table 819 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 22: to settle this as they do on working out how 820 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 22: many patients think they think will be affected by the strike, 821 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 22: been a better place. We got into a real pickle 822 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 22: with them last week in bargaining because they brought some 823 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 22: bigger numbers, but they seemed contradictory, and we asked them 824 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 22: to go away and do some work with the finance 825 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 22: people or their numbers people so that we could be 826 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 22: clear what they were putting on the table. And they couldn't. 827 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 22: They couldn't work it out right. 828 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 2: So they've gone to the RA. Could this actually be 829 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 2: a good thing for you? I mean, if you look 830 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 2: at some of the decisions that have been made in 831 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 2: cases like this in the private sector, they've gone, well, 832 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 2: let's look around the market at what people are being 833 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 2: paid elsewhere and then fix the rate. I mean, you 834 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 2: could you could get Ossie pay potentially. 835 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 22: Yeah, Well, wouldn't that be nice? Yeah? 836 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 2: I doubt that. 837 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 22: Look, we'll see, we'll see where it gets to. We'll 838 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 22: see how it goes. We don't think on balance it 839 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 22: is the best way forward for our members all the 840 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,319 Speaker 22: right thing to do under the legislation. We don't think 841 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 22: they're being realistic, but you know, if we got to 842 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 22: a better place, so be it. We already have some 843 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 22: experience of working with the ER because we've been through 844 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 22: facility in this bargaining and last which ER overseas and 845 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 22: we were not happy with the way the ER Authority 846 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 22: members applied themselves to the task and we didn't find 847 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 22: them to take an independent view. 848 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 2: Does your negotiation continue in the meantime or is it 849 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 2: sort of on hold at the moment? Sarah, Well, we're willing. 850 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 22: To keep discussions going, but when we got to Thursday 851 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 22: last week, instead, we didn't think we made enough progress 852 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 22: to lift the strike's Health New Zealand packed their bags 853 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 22: and left. We did say we would be willing to 854 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 22: continue discussions Friday over the weekend they declined, But yeah, 855 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 22: we're always willing to resume bargaining. 856 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 2: Sarah Dalton, executive director of the Association of Salary Medical Specialists. 857 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,240 Speaker 2: That strikes still going ahead and it'll affect services tomorrow 858 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 2: and Wednesday twenty one, after five year on news Talk 859 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 2: c B. I'll tell you why. I don't think our 860 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 2: government is going to recognize the state of Palestine, not 861 00:44:59,160 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 2: that one exists. 862 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 1: That's next for the name you trust to get the 863 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,959 Speaker 1: answers you need, it's Ryan Bridge on either duplicy Ellen 864 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: Drive with one New Zealand coverage like no one else 865 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: news talks. 866 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:12,240 Speaker 3: They'd be five. 867 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 2: Twenty three news talks. It'd be. The government keeps telling 868 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 2: us that they're seriously thinking about recognizing Palestine, but I 869 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,800 Speaker 2: call b yes, I think they're not really doing that 870 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 2: at all. Winston Peters is not seriously going to do 871 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 2: this for several reasons. One, they're no votes in it. 872 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 2: Most kiwis either disagree or don't know. Slash don't care 873 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 2: about the recognition question, not care about Gaza. They do, 874 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 2: but just on the recognition question. Number two, David Seymour 875 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 2: hates it. And this is a cabinet decision that needs 876 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 2: cabinet sign off. Remember three, the practical problem of who 877 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 2: you're actually recognizing. To probably recognize a state, you need 878 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 2: a leader who's that the Palestinian authority humas I mean, 879 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 2: for goodness sakes. Number four the US won't hate us now. 880 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,280 Speaker 2: I don't think this is at all a primary concern 881 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 2: for the government getting offside with the US. It's more 882 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 2: of a convenient byproduct type situation. It is a big 883 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 2: call not to back our mates in the Five eyes, Canada, Australia, 884 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 2: the UK. But there are practical reasons why this recognition 885 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 2: won't happen, and also good reason to think that even 886 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 2: if we did it, it wouldn't be anything other than 887 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,240 Speaker 2: performative politics at best anyway. 888 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 3: Brian Bradley, twenty five. 889 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,439 Speaker 2: After five News Talk ZB Tric Shuson, Shustrom, Willis PR 890 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 2: Joseph Bcganney. They'll be on the huddle they can discuss 891 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 2: that and fight amongst themselves after the news at five 892 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 2: point thirty. Did you see the story at the weekend 893 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,959 Speaker 2: and made my blood boil, only because around my house 894 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 2: they're putting in cycle ways. Fine, whatever, you know, you 895 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,800 Speaker 2: just got it. It's the world we live in. But 896 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 2: they're putting them in and they narrow the road. So 897 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 2: there's an arterial road right which you don't want to 898 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 2: block with cars, and they're putting the cycle lanes and 899 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 2: narrowing the road in a side street. Now what's going 900 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 2: to happen is when people go to turn left into 901 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 2: this side street, little side street, quiet, little residential side street. 902 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,439 Speaker 2: People are going to turn left into their The road 903 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 2: is narrowed, so they're going to slow as they turn. 904 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,399 Speaker 2: They slow as they turn, The cars behind them slow 905 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 2: as they turn. This is an arterial route. So you 906 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,359 Speaker 2: mess with the little roads, you screw with the big ones. 907 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 2: And when you screw with the big runs, then you 908 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 2: grind the city to a halt. So I have big 909 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 2: problems anyway, Milldale, I shan't be moving here. This is 910 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 2: a new development, Greenfield's development north of Auckland. And guy 911 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 2: goes to the Herald twenty two speed bumps on his 912 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 2: drive home. One hundred speed bumps in this new development, 913 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 2: more coming, he says, a speed bump every eighty meters. 914 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,719 Speaker 2: His poor wife, he likely works from home two days 915 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 2: a week. I mean what his poor wife goes to 916 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 2: work every day. God help us, and she's over it. 917 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 2: She's had enough. Another resident, who did not want to 918 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 2: be named, least the cycle mafia come after you, I 919 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 2: mean seriously, catches the bus here from Silverdale Park and 920 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 2: you will experience all the speed bumps you need to 921 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 2: put a curve in your spine. So well done, and 922 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 2: you can't even blame Arkland Transport. It's Fulton Hogan apparently 923 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,320 Speaker 2: who chose to implement all of the raids raised speed tables. 924 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 2: They are financing the roadworks, so surprise the prize. Yeah, 925 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 2: don't ask a plastic surgeon to but you can do 926 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 2: what you want on my face. You'll come out looking 927 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 2: like cat lady, you know what I mean. Same with 928 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,720 Speaker 2: speed bumps twenty seven after five the huddle afternoons on your. 929 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: Smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in your car 930 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: on your drive home, it's Ryan Bridge on either duplessy 931 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 1: Ellen drive with one New Zealand hand of power of 932 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: satellite mobile news dogs. 933 00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 3: That'd be. 934 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 2: Twenty five six year old news talk zib. The Huntley 935 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 2: power station normally brought to you by Indonesian dirty Indonesian 936 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,880 Speaker 2: coal soon to be wait for it, clean New Zealand 937 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,320 Speaker 2: produced coal. So the greenies will be absolutely wrapped with that. 938 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 2: We'll talk to BT Mining which is going to supply 939 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 2: two hundred and forty thousand tons of coal to Huntley 940 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 2: under a new deal that they have signed with Genesis. 941 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 2: That's coming after six o'clock. Also, Nikola willis with us 942 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 2: after six. Is the government changing tac Is it now 943 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 2: saying let's shovel the money out, quick, fast, out the door, 944 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 2: quick as we can, to help grow the economy, to 945 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 2: help save construction. And does that sort of undermine everything 946 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 2: they have told us thus far about economic management? Time 947 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 2: is twenty five away from six, Tritiusen and Josie Bugani 948 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 2: standing by. 949 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 3: For the huddle graham Bridge. 950 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 2: Last year overseas gamb has bet a whopping two hundred 951 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 2: and twelve million dollars on our domestic men's football league. 952 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 2: I know who knew for two hours every Saturday. New 953 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 2: Zealand is the only country in the world providing live 954 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 2: sport to the Asian gambling market. That should be on 955 00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 2: our bumper sticker. Andrew Scott Homan is General counsel for 956 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,800 Speaker 2: Professional football Footballers Association. With me tonight, Andrew, good evening, 957 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 2: I'm ailie Ryan, how are you very well? Thank you? 958 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 2: There is some concern this might open our players up 959 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 2: to match fixing. If you heard anything about that? 960 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 23: Oh yes, this has been a concern that New Zealand 961 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 23: as a country has been aware of. Now for gosh, 962 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 23: well over ten years, and as you say, we unfortunately 963 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 23: present this. Rather I suppose appealing cocktail to match fixers 964 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 23: from Asia in that our time zone allows us to 965 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,839 Speaker 23: be the monopoly provider of live products for a couple 966 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 23: of hours every weekend. But also it's the amateur nature 967 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,839 Speaker 23: of our competition and our match officials. Our referees don't 968 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 23: get paid for playing, and therefore they can be much 969 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 23: easier to bribe or convince to do the wrong thing. 970 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 23: That's also a problem that we have as a country. 971 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:13,840 Speaker 2: So it sounds like a perfect storm. Do we know 972 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,320 Speaker 2: if any players are being approached to do something dodgy? 973 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,560 Speaker 23: Well, mercifully. What we do know is there have been 974 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 23: no reported cases of actual match manipulation, so no one's 975 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 23: actually done the wrong thing today. But yes, we do 976 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 23: have regular reports about approaches being made. Some of them 977 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 23: are quite kind of speculative, that might be what's at 978 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,320 Speaker 23: message from someone saying, would you be interested in match fixing? 979 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 23: But others are way more sophisticated and involve people claiming 980 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 23: either that they are agents representing clubs in Asia or 981 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 23: Europe that can offer a player a trial at the 982 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 23: end of the season if they do a favor in return, 983 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 23: So there's a real mixture. We're fortune though that generally 984 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 23: our players report those advances and we've got a really 985 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 23: good partnership between the sports that's New Zealand football, but 986 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 23: also the police. The New Zealand Police are great and 987 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 23: following up on those reports and trying to get to 988 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 23: the bottom of exactly who this might be. 989 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 2: Well, I suppose the ones who report to you haven't 990 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,800 Speaker 2: accepted the bribes, but the ones who have accepted the 991 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,239 Speaker 2: bribes probably wouldn't, would they. 992 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,360 Speaker 23: That's the danger. And there's another danger as well that 993 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,799 Speaker 23: the naivety of some of our players means they may 994 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 23: not even realize that they're being set up. They may 995 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,520 Speaker 23: actually think that this person that they're dealing with is 996 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 23: legitimately a coach or an agent for a foreign team 997 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 23: that could be the greatest opportunity of their footballing career. So, yeah, 998 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 23: you're right, it's very difficult to know for certain exactly 999 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 23: what the kind of threat level is in the country. 1000 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 2: Andrew, appreciate your time, Andrew Scott Holman Homan rather the 1001 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 2: General Council Professional Footballers Association. It is twenty two minutes 1002 00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:57,479 Speaker 2: away from. 1003 00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,720 Speaker 3: Six the huddle with New Zealand. 1004 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 1: SU's International Realty Find your one of a kind. 1005 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,840 Speaker 2: Trisius and Shus and Willis pr and Josie Pegani, CEO 1006 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 2: at Child Fund on the huddle tonight, good evening, Hello, 1007 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 2: good to have you both here. Tricia's the government changing 1008 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 2: its tax, changing its tune on you know, this idea 1009 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 2: that the government should actually spend something that it might 1010 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 2: grow something as a result. 1011 00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 24: It feels to me like the government every sort of 1012 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 24: Sunday goes to the fridge and has a look and says, now, 1013 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 24: what in here can we reheat? What can we pop 1014 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 24: in the microwave and serve up to the electorate. 1015 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 2: To show progress. 1016 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 24: That that is very that's very facetious. 1017 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 2: That's very good. Though. 1018 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 24: I think that they have to be careful that the 1019 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 24: electric doesn't tire of this because don't forget for most 1020 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,879 Speaker 24: people while they all look today and they'll go look, 1021 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 24: it's good to see investment in hospitals. It's good to 1022 00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 24: see investment in schools that's not making any difference in 1023 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 24: their hip pocket, and that's where they have been hit 1024 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:07,480 Speaker 24: in the last few years. I think that one of 1025 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,360 Speaker 24: the things around the schools is that we know Erica 1026 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 24: Stanford is a minister who actually really gets shit done, 1027 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 24: and where governments have struggled is that people lose confidence 1028 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 24: because they don't get the delivery. So I have confidence 1029 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:26,239 Speaker 24: that Erica Stanford will get this done. I don't think 1030 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 24: it will move the needle, particularly in terms of the 1031 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,319 Speaker 24: polls because, as I say, a, voters are worried about 1032 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 24: their hip pockets. But the other thing I think the 1033 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 24: government needs to be cautious of is that the government 1034 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 24: is not the economy. And right now I can tell 1035 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 24: you of several potentially major projects around Auckland that are 1036 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 24: still being held up because they are tied up in 1037 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 24: local government planning. They are tied up in waiting to 1038 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,680 Speaker 24: get on the fast track and not knowing how long 1039 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,719 Speaker 24: that will take. One of those is potentially up to 1040 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 24: a billion dollars of one development that would attract others 1041 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 24: near Auckland. And the other story which underpins this for 1042 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 24: me is you know another major developer who said to 1043 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 24: me recently, well, we're just not even going to go 1044 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 24: down the process of this major redevelopment right now, because 1045 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 24: it's at least half a million dollars just to run 1046 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 24: through the resource consenting process with no guarantee what's coming 1047 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,280 Speaker 24: out the other side. So I would say to the government, 1048 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,800 Speaker 24: you have to keep focusing on allowing the New Zealand 1049 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,719 Speaker 24: businesses to be the economy and do the growing and 1050 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 24: keep on, you know, making sure you're getting the barriers 1051 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,239 Speaker 24: out of the way for them to do that. 1052 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,799 Speaker 25: They've actually announced a lot today, haven't they. I mean 1053 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,760 Speaker 25: there's the duty of Colins digital stuff, which is actually 1054 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 25: game changing. If you start putting all government services available digitally, 1055 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,440 Speaker 25: the school's announcement, the hospitals and so on, so you know, 1056 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 25: they'll be feeling like, you know, God, we keep announcing 1057 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 25: stuff and it's just not moving the dial. And I 1058 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,279 Speaker 25: think you're right Ryan that they've fallen between do they 1059 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 25: do stimulus and risk more debt and inflation or do 1060 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:11,080 Speaker 25: they cut and risk austerity and being unpopular. And I 1061 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 25: think they've been falling between those two things. I mean, 1062 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 25: the real problem. We've got the construction sector which is 1063 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 25: on a downturn. We've got energy which is overpriced, with 1064 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 25: deindustrializing New Zealand, our manufacturing sectors, you know, dying. So 1065 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,360 Speaker 25: they need something big that captures the imagination. And I 1066 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 25: was looking back at Tony Blair when he first came 1067 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 25: into power and his first party conference, he said, the 1068 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:41,080 Speaker 25: biggest priority in this government is three things. Education, education, education, 1069 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 25: and I feel like they need to go Is it 1070 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:48,400 Speaker 25: education Erica Stanford's doing a lot. Is it reforming the 1071 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 25: public sector so that they deliver government services better? Is 1072 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,800 Speaker 25: it competition? And do you need to go hard on 1073 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 25: competition and do really big things like maybe break up Fronterira. 1074 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 25: I don't know, you know, not just the super markets. 1075 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,399 Speaker 25: And I feel like they can't prioritize one big thing 1076 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,279 Speaker 25: that they're going to do that we all get. This 1077 00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 25: is the government that changed education or changed competition. 1078 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 24: But the problem is we're in I think that the 1079 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 24: government would feel they've done that. This is the year 1080 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 24: of growth, right, It's growth, growth, growth. You can't not 1081 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 24: have had that message. But again the problem is that 1082 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 24: for businesses there is just still too much in the 1083 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 24: way of them being able to invest and grow. And 1084 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 24: this is where the government's message has really become not 1085 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:37,200 Speaker 24: calibrated with reality. So I have heard repeatedly ministers saying, oh, 1086 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 24: we've done all this, now this is great. Now businesses 1087 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,920 Speaker 24: can start investing, they can start creating jobs. What they 1088 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 24: have forgotten is that for a lot of businesses, the 1089 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,840 Speaker 24: cupboard is bear. There's not the money there to be 1090 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 24: able to do those things yet. 1091 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 25: So I think it's one thing that they really I 1092 00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 25: think they get brownie points for telling us there is 1093 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 25: no short term solution here. This is really bad and 1094 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 25: here's the steps we're taking. It's going to take a while, 1095 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 25: and you've got to come on this journey with us. 1096 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,360 Speaker 25: If they were a bit more honest about that, I 1097 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 25: think rather than trying to go, hey, it's going to 1098 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 25: be great. You know, we're going to have growth, growth. 1099 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 2: Growth, they have been pretty honest about and they've had 1100 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,920 Speaker 2: to be about the reality of it. But I think 1101 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 2: you're right, Josie, if you know, labor will come along 1102 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,840 Speaker 2: next year and they've got to say what they'll do. Yeah, 1103 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 2: but they don't worry. We will save the day. We 1104 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 2: will do that by texting, We will do that by 1105 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 2: borrowing more, we will spend more. And will Keewis believe 1106 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 2: any of it. 1107 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,919 Speaker 25: So there's one interesting comparison. 1108 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 24: I hope, not hope, ever, believe that needs to be 1109 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 24: at least lined up for an IQT. 1110 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 25: At least they're presenting an alternative at the moment, they're 1111 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,640 Speaker 25: just going, you know, in a way that national did 1112 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 25: when they were in government will be better than them. 1113 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 25: But the real comparison is someone like Carne in Canada 1114 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 25: who has put forward this fast track growth plan where 1115 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 25: he's building a nuclear power station. He's labor government nuclear 1116 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 25: you know, left government nuclear house. Station's mining copper. He's 1117 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 25: building LNG plants. So it can be done, all right. 1118 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,000 Speaker 2: It is the huddle with Joseph Bigani and Tristius in 1119 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 2: quarter to six back in a jiffy, the. 1120 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 1: Huddle with New Zealand southebast International Realty's the global leader 1121 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:19,439 Speaker 1: in luxury real estate. 1122 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 2: Thirteen to six News talks of Beatricius and Joseph Bigani 1123 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,920 Speaker 2: on the huddle tonight. Palestine, the Canadians, the Brits, the 1124 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 2: Australians have all recognized it or decided they will recognize 1125 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 2: it overnight, and we're still deciding. I don't think personally 1126 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 2: that our government is going to do it, Josie, what 1127 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 2: do you reckon? 1128 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 25: I think they will, and I think they'll do it 1129 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 25: in the last minute, and they'll do something around the 1130 00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:46,920 Speaker 25: Canadian model, which is conditional. So it's not about recognizing 1131 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 25: a broken state now led by Hamas who's still got 1132 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 25: the hostages. It's about recognizing the principle of a state 1133 00:59:55,320 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 25: led by Palestinian authority, demilitarized with an Arab peaceful going 1134 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 25: in there, but recognize. I know what you're saying that 1135 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 25: that recognizing the principle of the state seems like nothing, 1136 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 25: but it is potentially the first step to some sort 1137 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 25: of peace agreement. It has to be part of a 1138 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 25: bigger plan. The big truth you've got is that Israelis 1139 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 25: and Palestinians are going nowhere. They both have a legitimate 1140 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 25: ancient homeland claim unfortunately to the same land, and so 1141 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,960 Speaker 25: any any analysis that doesn't any peace process, or any 1142 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 25: analysis or any peace plan that doesn't acknowledge that is 1143 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 25: not going to succeed. So I do think recognizing the 1144 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 25: principle that the state of Palistine deserves to exist is 1145 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 25: something that is the first step towards peace. And I 1146 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:42,840 Speaker 25: think when stall the last minute. 1147 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 2: They we get to on that. A speed bumps Trish. 1148 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,880 Speaker 2: So this is in Milldale, north of Auckland, a one 1149 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 2: speed bump every eighty meters in this particular New Greenfield's development. 1150 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,280 Speaker 2: The poor guy in the paper said his wife. He 1151 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 2: gets to have two days at home working from home 1152 01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 2: every week, but his poor wife has to go to 1153 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,400 Speaker 2: work every day. She's sick of it. They're all sick 1154 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 2: of it. Don't move to Mildale. 1155 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,960 Speaker 24: Well, this actually reminded me of when I was at 1156 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 24: boarding school and my mother arrived to pick me up 1157 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 24: in the good brown commodore and the pro Terminary High 1158 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,600 Speaker 24: School had put in some new speed bumps on the 1159 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 24: driveway up to the hospital, and my mother had a 1160 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 24: very unique idea for how she might test the efficacy 1161 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 24: of the speed bumps using her car, and the principle 1162 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 24: when I heard the story today reminded me of it. 1163 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:35,280 Speaker 24: I mean, this is absolutely ridiculous. Trying to drive around 1164 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 24: you know, Milldale sounds terrible, but just try driving around 1165 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:43,320 Speaker 24: Auckland now. And what I have never seen is any 1166 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 24: data or facts showing the efficacy of all of the 1167 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 24: speed bumps that happened. 1168 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 2: How many lives saved? Well, that's what I want to know. Well, 1169 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 2: how many lives have we said? How many school children 1170 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 2: have not been knocked off their bikes or have broken. 1171 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 25: Only have a role to play. The problem is the 1172 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:00,920 Speaker 25: letherer of them. 1173 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 22: They're just like breeding. 1174 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 25: I've got a theory here that's it must be so 1175 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,600 Speaker 25: easy to consent them, right, that's why we've got so many. 1176 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 25: So this is actually a great template for if we 1177 01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 25: could just deal with the time around consenting, we would 1178 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 25: get heaps built. Like imagine we could. 1179 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 2: Apply the same rules. 1180 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,920 Speaker 25: But I also think that it's something to do with 1181 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,760 Speaker 25: the fact that, you know, in that consultation process, no 1182 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 25: one ever has to defend the status quo, right, so 1183 01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,959 Speaker 25: you've got people who have to complain about things being built. 1184 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 25: I mean, now we're complaining about speed bumps, But the 1185 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:37,200 Speaker 25: problem with the cool consenting process is that no one 1186 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 25: ever has to measure not doing something or doing something anyway. 1187 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:41,640 Speaker 25: That's just my rant about. 1188 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 24: Well here's the other thing. We seem to be able 1189 01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 24: to build speed bumps in mass very quickly, that's what 1190 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,320 Speaker 24: I mean, But we can't get major projects done in 1191 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,280 Speaker 24: any timeframe. I was reading a history of New Zealand 1192 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 24: on the weekend. Do you know the Main Trunk Railways 1193 01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 24: had a great weekend. This is the length of his 1194 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,680 Speaker 24: even nine years to build Harbor Bridge. 1195 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 2: Four years. 1196 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 24: What has happened to New Zealand that we now can't 1197 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 24: we can't even get a business case to put a 1198 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,520 Speaker 24: plan forward, let alone getting something built. 1199 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 25: We can for speed bumps, right, But I think it's 1200 01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 25: a consultation class. We've invented a consultation class. The same 1201 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,040 Speaker 25: people get consulted all the time things. They are a 1202 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,240 Speaker 25: consultation class who say no to things. That's what we've got. 1203 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 2: Even the good projects, like the projects you think people 1204 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 2: would love. The Greenies included wind mills, windmills South Tartanaki 1205 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 2: that go into the UN. 1206 01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 12: I mean, so why go to the UN? 1207 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,880 Speaker 25: The UN can't even solve Ukraine. They're not going to 1208 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 25: sold windmills in Taranaki. 1209 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 2: Right ate away from six. Thank you Tricius and Jose 1210 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,800 Speaker 2: Buccanney on the huddle tonight news Talk said b we'll 1211 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 2: get to some of your texts next. Also after six, 1212 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,440 Speaker 2: we're looking at Huntley power Station and how we'll actually 1213 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:54,840 Speaker 2: power it. 1214 01:03:56,320 --> 01:04:00,800 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duplassy Allen Drive Full Show podcastard Radio 1215 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,640 Speaker 1: powered by News Talk ZEBB. 1216 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,760 Speaker 2: News Talk ZIBB. It is six minutes away from six. 1217 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:07,520 Speaker 3: Ryan. 1218 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 2: This is on the example we just heard from Trish 1219 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 2: Hurston about you know it took us four years to 1220 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 2: build the harbor bridge, and you know we can barely 1221 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 2: build a put up a street sign and a week Ryan, 1222 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,840 Speaker 2: My favorite example is the Empire State Building, took just 1223 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 2: over a year to build almost a century ago and 1224 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:29,520 Speaker 2: still standing. That's from Sean. 1225 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 18: Sean. 1226 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,240 Speaker 2: Nice to have you texting the program. Ryan, this is 1227 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 2: on the issue of match fixing. You know, for two 1228 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 2: hours every weekend, we are the most watched country apparently 1229 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 2: in Asia out of Asia for sports, and two hundred 1230 01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:49,600 Speaker 2: million dollars a year being bet on the national professional 1231 01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 2: men's soccer teams. Ryan, my sixteen year old playing football 1232 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:59,440 Speaker 2: for Hamilton Wanderers, was approached. There are guys betting overseas 1233 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 2: on domes games and it's crazy, it says Andy. Sounds 1234 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 2: like it too, Ryan. If we, as New Zealanders could 1235 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,840 Speaker 2: actually drive to a speed limit, there would be no 1236 01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 2: need for speed bumps. Unfortunately we can't. So suck it up, 1237 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:18,000 Speaker 2: buttercup Alf he says, we are the architects of our 1238 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 2: own downfall on this slow down or be treated like 1239 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,440 Speaker 2: a child, elf. Honestly, we're not children, that's the point. 1240 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:29,880 Speaker 2: And one speed bump every eighty meters is ridiculous. I mean, 1241 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 2: I can understand the odd speed bump so that you 1242 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 2: don't get people racing through an area. But at some point, 1243 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 2: and I think we've reached the point where it's become 1244 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous. Ryan, how many lives have those speed bumps 1245 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:51,000 Speaker 2: cost with delays for fire an emergency for ambulance services? 1246 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 2: Grants asked the question, it's a very good question. I 1247 01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 2: don't think anybody would be measuring that. News talk said 1248 01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,320 Speaker 2: be there's a guy here in new Land from the IMF. 1249 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 2: He was too, I see at the IMF, and normally 1250 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:05,960 Speaker 2: the IMF will come out and say New Zealand needs 1251 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 2: a capital gains tax, New Zealand needs a wealth tax. 1252 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,480 Speaker 2: Potentially this guy has come over here and said, Nope, 1253 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 2: you don't need any of those, even though you've got 1254 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 2: an aging population. We've got to pay for the pension, 1255 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 2: We're going to pay for the healthcare. How does the 1256 01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 2: government get the extra money? He says, probably what you 1257 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,840 Speaker 2: should do. What will happen is increasing GST and I 1258 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,960 Speaker 2: can hear your collective groans as you look at the 1259 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,919 Speaker 2: price of butter. But he says, it's an easy lever 1260 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 2: to pull. And yeah, I'm just an interesting perspective. I thought, 1261 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,800 Speaker 2: this is that former to I see McKean of the IMF. 1262 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,760 Speaker 2: We'll talk to Nicola Willis, Finance Minister about all of this. 1263 01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:47,840 Speaker 2: Next news talk sets. 1264 01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: We're Business Meets Insight the Business Hours with Ryan Bridge 1265 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:04,000 Speaker 1: and Mass for Insurance Investments and Kuei Saber. 1266 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 3: You're in Good as news talks. 1267 01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 2: Be good evening Monday, the twenty second is September just 1268 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,919 Speaker 2: gone seven after six.

The government is 1273 01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 2: shoveling money out the door to classrooms to get them 1274 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 2: fixed up. They're old, they're moldy, and they're broken, and 1275 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:33,520 Speaker 2: they will have that money hopefully in these school's pockets today, tomorrow, 1276 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,880 Speaker 2: sometime this week if they need it.

As 1301 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 20: a theory and a business case want resulting in a 1302 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,479 Speaker 20: construction contract and people on work. 1303 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,560 Speaker 2: Okay, how many jobs do you do you by the 1304 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,640 Speaker 2: end of the year, how many jobs will you have 1305 01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 2: put on the table? 1306 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 20: Well, look, people have different analyzes of how many jobs 1307 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:18,680 Speaker 20: are created per contract, but the Infrastructure Commission estimates that 1308 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,439 Speaker 20: for every billion that you invest, you are creating hundreds 1309 01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 20: of jobs. So look, we expect hundreds, if not thousands 1310 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,400 Speaker 20: of jobs to be created through these new construction contracts 1311 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 20: by Christmas. 1312 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 2: Yes, and that's with the money going out or the 1313 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,639 Speaker 2: money announced, because there's a difference. What you've just explained 1314 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,719 Speaker 2: to us. So is that is that you hope, because 1315 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 2: you've allocated the money, will get those hundreds or thousands 1316 01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:46,640 Speaker 2: of jobs by Christmas or the contracts assigned and they 1317 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:47,639 Speaker 2: will be created. 1318 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 20: Well, look, as I say, it's difficult to assign these numbers, 1319 01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 20: which is why I'm being cautious about not getting you 1320 01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,479 Speaker 20: a specific one. And that's because there's a combination of things. 1321 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,759 Speaker 20: There's those major construction projects that will commence before Christmas, 1322 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 20: the seven billion worth of projects. Then there's these maintenance 1323 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,680 Speaker 20: projects that are being brought forward are in education and elsewhere, 1324 01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,760 Speaker 20: and the jobs per contract will vary. Some of those 1325 01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 20: jobs will be of long duration, some of short duration. 1326 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 20: Certainly we expect a lot of activity. 1327 01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,760 Speaker 2: The biggest regret in government would it be cutting the 1328 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,679 Speaker 2: kying or order funding. I mean, that's devastated construction. 1329 01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 20: I am going to correct you on that one because 1330 01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 20: I am absolutely sick of this myths. In the past 1331 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,599 Speaker 20: two years, Kyeing of Aura has built more than seven 1332 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 20: thousand new homes. How many we because all of the funding? 1333 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 3: How many labor they weren't. 1334 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 20: So let me finish my point, which let me finish 1335 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 20: this point because labor have misled people on this. They 1336 01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,599 Speaker 20: put funding and budget twenty twenty three, their last budget 1337 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 20: into Kyeing of Aura, and we kept that in place 1338 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 20: for housing construction. We in addition put in more funding 1339 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,760 Speaker 20: for social houses, two thousand more to be delivered by 1340 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:05,120 Speaker 20: community housing providers. The change that we have made is 1341 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,800 Speaker 20: that our analysis showed that fifty percent of people on 1342 01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 20: the social housing waitlist needed a one bedroom home, Yet 1343 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:17,519 Speaker 20: only twelve percent of Coyeing or is overall housing was 1344 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,640 Speaker 20: one bedroom homes, which is just a silly mismatch. So 1345 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,599 Speaker 20: we are working to make sure we've got the right 1346 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:23,599 Speaker 20: houses in the right. 1347 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,520 Speaker 2: Totally understand that who needs that. But you can't seriously 1348 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 2: go to the construction industry and say this is a 1349 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,320 Speaker 2: labor myth that we've pulled projects from cayeing order. The 1350 01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:36,680 Speaker 2: construction industry themselves are telling us that one of the 1351 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:41,160 Speaker 2: biggest barriers they've faced is a pullback from KO. 1352 01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 20: We have changed some of the projects, but overall, we 1353 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,960 Speaker 20: have added seven thousand homes in the last two years. 1354 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,880 Speaker 20: That's just a simple fact rhyme. It is true that 1355 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 20: the construction sector has gone through a tough time, and 1356 01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,840 Speaker 20: I fully appreciate that. One of the big changes that's 1357 01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,760 Speaker 20: affected them is that we're interest rates got really high 1358 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,920 Speaker 20: and let's remember they didn't start dropping again until last August. 1359 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:09,800 Speaker 20: A huge number of private construction projects completely fell over 1360 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 20: because they no longer stacked up at those expensive rates 1361 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,800 Speaker 20: of borrowing, and that's had a massively depressive impact on 1362 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:17,120 Speaker 20: the construction Sectory. 1363 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,640 Speaker 2: Reserve Bank governor will hear soon by the end of 1364 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:20,920 Speaker 2: the week, hopefully who that is. 1365 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:22,200 Speaker 22: That's right. 1366 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:23,960 Speaker 20: I'm happy to confirm that you will know by the 1367 01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 20: end of the week who the new Reserve Bank governor is. 1368 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 2: Okay, will you make sure that if they because you 1369 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,600 Speaker 2: know Adrian Or for twenty nine months he failed to 1370 01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,519 Speaker 2: get inflation within the target, and then he still got 1371 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 2: a pay rise when he went for his next contract. 1372 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,880 Speaker 2: I mean, are we going to be stripped with the 1373 01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:38,599 Speaker 2: next governor? 1374 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 20: Well, my requirement of the Reserve Bank governor, which I 1375 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,680 Speaker 20: set out in my Monetary Policy remit, is that they 1376 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,479 Speaker 20: need to keep inflation inflation and the target band between 1377 01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:52,840 Speaker 20: one and three percent over the medium term. So it 1378 01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,400 Speaker 20: is acceptable to get a small blip out of that 1379 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,040 Speaker 20: if it's just a quarterly thing and then it goes 1380 01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,760 Speaker 20: back to the mean. But those couple of years of 1381 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:04,840 Speaker 20: out of control inflation under or in labor, we're unacceptable, 1382 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,200 Speaker 20: created carnage in our economy and a real reminder of 1383 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,440 Speaker 20: where we need to keep our eye on inflation economy. 1384 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,360 Speaker 2: Speaking of it and Trump and the tariffs. If we 1385 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,720 Speaker 2: got hammered so badly by his last announcement, what's to 1386 01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:21,759 Speaker 2: stop us getting equally hammered next time has another crazy 1387 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 2: moment or a liberation day. 1388 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 20: I think we can see clearly now that we are 1389 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 20: not in the group of countries that's been hardest hit 1390 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,360 Speaker 20: in nor would we expect to be in future. We've 1391 01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 20: also got clarity for our American exporters about the rate 1392 01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,240 Speaker 20: of tariff they can expect to face into the future, 1393 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,880 Speaker 20: which is obviously unwelcome at fifteen percent, but at least 1394 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 20: they know what they're dealing with, and we can have 1395 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,679 Speaker 20: some certainty that the rest of the world hasn't gone 1396 01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:48,880 Speaker 20: into an all out trade war. You'll remember when he 1397 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:52,920 Speaker 20: first made his announcement back in April, people were talking 1398 01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 20: about all sorts of retaliatory tariffs happening and free traders 1399 01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,240 Speaker 20: we know it collapsing. That hasn't transpired. In fact, a 1400 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,840 Speaker 20: lot of our trading partners have leaned even more positively 1401 01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,800 Speaker 20: towards free trade. And that's good for New Zealand because 1402 01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:07,879 Speaker 20: we have a constellation of free trade arrangements. 1403 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,599 Speaker 2: We're not just dependent on the US to approve projects 1404 01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 2: in the fast track. Is that success, Well, it is, and. 1405 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 20: I'm advised that there will be at least half a 1406 01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:20,080 Speaker 20: dozen more decisions before Christmas. In terms of those projects, Ryan, 1407 01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:23,719 Speaker 20: there's also another one that's been provisionally approved. But they're exciting. 1408 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,200 Speaker 20: These are projects that are going to add hundreds of 1409 01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:30,000 Speaker 20: millions to GDP, that are going to create thousands of jobs. 1410 01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 20: The my Tahi Village housing project in Nelson that's going 1411 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,880 Speaker 20: to impact employment activity by around two thousand, seven hundred jobs. 1412 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:41,400 Speaker 20: I'm advised the Auckland Port One over its lifetime will 1413 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 20: support employment of one hundred thousand workers in Auckland, Milldale 1414 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 20: and Auckland, which has been given provisional approval. That will 1415 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:52,400 Speaker 20: result in eleven hundred more homes being delivered and generate 1416 01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:55,320 Speaker 20: around half a billion and GDP. So these are exciting 1417 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:59,920 Speaker 20: projects that would not have been approved without fast track. 1418 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 20: They would have been stuck in the system for years. 1419 01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,280 Speaker 20: Let me remind you this is a piece of legislation 1420 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,320 Speaker 20: that has been opposed by opposition parties. We've said no, 1421 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,840 Speaker 20: you need to get these big private sector developments out 1422 01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:13,599 Speaker 20: the door, and we're doing it a lot faster than 1423 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:14,720 Speaker 20: what have otherwise been the case. 1424 01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,840 Speaker 2: Nicola Willis, Finance mister. Appreciate your time. Hopefully they can 1425 01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,800 Speaker 2: do without the I don't know if you saw the 1426 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,640 Speaker 2: story about the speed humps at Milldale. Hopefully they can 1427 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,439 Speaker 2: build those eleven hundred homes without the need for tons 1428 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 2: more of them. Nikola Willis, the Finance Minister. It is 1429 01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,040 Speaker 2: quarter past six. You're on news Talk zb We'll get 1430 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 2: to change solid with markets. 1431 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 5: Next. 1432 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,680 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dupless Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1433 01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio powered by Newstalk ZIBBI News. 1434 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,120 Speaker 2: Talk zib eighteen minutes after six. We'll get to show 1435 01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,960 Speaker 2: biz next. First, Shane Soly with Harbor Asset Management, Shane 1436 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 2: Good evening. 1437 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:47,680 Speaker 26: Getay right. 1438 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 2: So we had the GDP number for quarter two last week. 1439 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,759 Speaker 2: It was soft, but the shear market's been pretty flat. 1440 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,679 Speaker 2: Investors sort of looking through the weakness. 1441 01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:59,600 Speaker 26: Yeah, it's an interesting one. Yeah, So we've seen the 1442 01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,599 Speaker 26: sheremerk got flat the last five days through this GDP 1443 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 26: shock period. Actually it has been flat year to day 1444 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,840 Speaker 26: and only up five percent of the last twelve months. 1445 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:12,439 Speaker 26: What we're because investors have been seeing this weakness for 1446 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,680 Speaker 26: some time. It's not a new surprise. But we are 1447 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,080 Speaker 26: seeing probably two or three things that are really starting 1448 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,639 Speaker 26: to get people to look back again. These interest rates 1449 01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,559 Speaker 26: are starting to get to points where they're attractive cost 1450 01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,000 Speaker 26: of borrowing and lower, making investments more attractive. There are 1451 01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,560 Speaker 26: some signs that the economy is finding a base. We 1452 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 26: are seeing this targeted government fiscal serially tuned to targeted 1453 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,439 Speaker 26: fiscal stimulus, So we are seeing some signs of things 1454 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:37,760 Speaker 26: getting less worse. And obviously parts of the economy are 1455 01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,320 Speaker 26: actually do okay, others just a bit rough. And finally, 1456 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,640 Speaker 26: the thing that we're most focused on this company doing 1457 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 26: the companies doing their own self help programs, so they're 1458 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,960 Speaker 26: fixing their own businesses by efficiency gains. But the unfortunately, 1459 01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,719 Speaker 26: market was down just under zero point seven percent today 1460 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:54,960 Speaker 26: giving back was a bit of a strong day on Friday, 1461 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:56,719 Speaker 26: so it's giving some of that back upter some index 1462 01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,680 Speaker 26: welate changes the little way together before. We're a rock 1463 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 26: star economy and rockster market agin right, unfortunately, but certainly 1464 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,439 Speaker 26: we're in this don't fight the Fed, don't fight central 1465 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:06,040 Speaker 26: banks moment. 1466 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, the speaking of the rbns in here will obviously 1467 01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,120 Speaker 2: be cutting a kwbank came out today, so they might 1468 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,760 Speaker 2: need to go to two percent by February next year. 1469 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:15,479 Speaker 2: What do you reckon that? 1470 01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 26: Well, look, certainly markets are pricing and official cash right 1471 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 26: going to two point three percent by May twenty six. 1472 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,639 Speaker 26: That's down zero point seven percent on the current three 1473 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,960 Speaker 26: percent level. We've got cuts priced and for October according 1474 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,280 Speaker 26: to market, so zero point three four percent. That means 1475 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 26: twenty five percent or point ty five percent expected, but 1476 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:39,280 Speaker 26: it could be half of percent and there isn't. It's 1477 01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:43,120 Speaker 26: a bit fluid is because there's some expectation that inflation 1478 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,400 Speaker 26: data may actually just creep up the next month. Styre 1479 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,400 Speaker 26: holding the RBNS back from doing a half percent. But 1480 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 26: the economy, you know, we certainly needs needs, it would 1481 01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,679 Speaker 26: benefit from the liquidity injection, so you know, maybe maybe 1482 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:56,599 Speaker 26: we do get closer to two than two and a half. 1483 01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,000 Speaker 2: Interesting. We're also getting an update on US and flow 1484 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:01,479 Speaker 2: data later this week. 1485 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,160 Speaker 26: Yeah, look, last week we saw the Federal at the 1486 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 26: Market Commission. This is the fed's Monketrey policy arm cut 1487 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 26: by a quarter of percent. That was expected, but Fed 1488 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 26: hier power. He was quite hawkish here, sort of holding 1489 01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:18,000 Speaker 26: his cards back, talking about as a risk management cut 1490 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,360 Speaker 26: this week. Later this week, on Thursday, we get the 1491 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,280 Speaker 26: core personal consumption Exponiti or PC data. 1492 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:24,840 Speaker 6: That's the one the. 1493 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:30,000 Speaker 26: FED really favors. So it's actually on Friday, apologies surveys 1494 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 26: are shown. We're coming around two point nine percent, that's 1495 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:36,040 Speaker 26: inside the fed's target band. Remembering, of course we've got 1496 01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 26: this very unusual time in the US with the data 1497 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:42,519 Speaker 26: is not exactly great, so complete and what markets are 1498 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,000 Speaker 26: really watching for is this tariff impact? Is it as 1499 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,439 Speaker 26: bad as people have expected? So you know we have 1500 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 26: got the potential for some more amminition for the FED 1501 01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:54,280 Speaker 26: to cut this Currently if we look one year forward 1502 01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,720 Speaker 26: out to September next year, is about one percent of 1503 01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 26: a few is FED cuts put in place, taking their 1504 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,880 Speaker 26: rates down to three. This the official Caesher and Fed 1505 01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,080 Speaker 26: chiapwe he talks on Thursday, He's going to talk about 1506 01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:07,599 Speaker 26: the economy and Markt's going to be saying, so things 1507 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:10,320 Speaker 26: getting worse? Does that menu have to cut faster and 1508 01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 26: earler to get to that one percent down? 1509 01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,439 Speaker 2: Appreciate that update. Shane Soley Harbor Asset Management with US 1510 01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:18,200 Speaker 2: tonight just gone twenty one minutes after six An update 1511 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,719 Speaker 2: for you on Harry Styles, everybody's favorite British pop star 1512 01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 2: doing everything apparently but making music. Will ask why. 1513 01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:30,759 Speaker 1: Closing the numbers and getting the results. It's Ryan Bridge 1514 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: with the Business Hour and Mass for insurance investments and 1515 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 1: Killie Saber You're in good hands Newstalks ed Boks twenty four. 1516 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,200 Speaker 2: We look at this deal for Cole for Huntley after 1517 01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,720 Speaker 2: the news at six thirty. First though, I'm loving all 1518 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,799 Speaker 2: these texts on the speed bumps. Ryan, I'm an automotive engineer, 1519 01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 2: says this text. You will be aware of the waterfront 1520 01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 2: road from the city to Saint Heliers. There are fourteen 1521 01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:57,240 Speaker 2: speed bumps on this road. Every vehicle that travels this 1522 01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,400 Speaker 2: road will burn eighty percent more fuel than if it 1523 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,920 Speaker 2: was a smooth This is caused by the breaking and 1524 01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 2: the acceleration. AT did not carry out any research regarding 1525 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,280 Speaker 2: fuel consumption or damage to vehicles prior to putting their 1526 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,839 Speaker 2: speed bumps. And I have this information via an OAA 1527 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:16,320 Speaker 2: from all can Transport HM. Very interesting indeed, this one 1528 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,160 Speaker 2: in christ Church from JP Ryan firefighter here, I have 1529 01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,439 Speaker 2: measured the delays in christ Church to cardiac arrest due 1530 01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,360 Speaker 2: to the speed bumps and other delays due to slowing 1531 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:28,520 Speaker 2: traffic down the traffic calming measures they call them. Approximately 1532 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 2: three to four lives a year will be lost due 1533 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,360 Speaker 2: to delays. You have ten minutes to be saved when 1534 01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:35,599 Speaker 2: your heart stops. In the last four years in christ Church, 1535 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 2: only one pedestrian or cyclist has been killed, submitted to 1536 01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 2: christ Church City Council. They have said nothing, thank you 1537 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 2: JP for that. So basically, not only are they slowing 1538 01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 2: us down, but where we're going to die as a result. Okay, 1539 01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:48,800 Speaker 2: that's the. 1540 01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:50,759 Speaker 3: Just show bears. 1541 01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,760 Speaker 2: It looks like former One Direction member Harry Styles is 1542 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,800 Speaker 2: anywhere but recording new music, which will be bad news 1543 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:10,840 Speaker 2: to the years of those who love this song. The 1544 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,439 Speaker 2: British pop star will snap this weekend running the Berlin 1545 01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 2: Marathon the Twist. He's actually quite a good runner. He 1546 01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 2: completed the feat in two hours, fifty nine minutes and 1547 01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,960 Speaker 2: thirteen seconds, just below the three hour mark for him. 1548 01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,920 Speaker 2: Plus he's been able to shave off over a minute 1549 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,000 Speaker 2: from his time when he ran the Tokyo Marathon in March. 1550 01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 2: If you want to go to your local marathon to 1551 01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:35,320 Speaker 2: catch a glimpse, you might be out of luck. He's 1552 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,000 Speaker 2: not using his real name unfortunately, he's running under the 1553 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:44,639 Speaker 2: alias Stead Surrendos. But now we know his alias, surely 1554 01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:46,800 Speaker 2: he will change it every race. I don't know. If 1555 01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 2: you're running across the Harbor Bridge with a guy who's 1556 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,200 Speaker 2: obviously trying too hard not to be noticed, he might 1557 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,120 Speaker 2: just be a pop star. You never know, especially if 1558 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,840 Speaker 2: he comes in under three hours. Good on him. Harry 1559 01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,760 Speaker 2: Styles would be nice if you got to music, because 1560 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,040 Speaker 2: I do enjoy his actually just very quickly on Taylor Swift, 1561 01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:07,479 Speaker 2: we got time for this. She did an announcement over 1562 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,479 Speaker 2: the weekend and all of the Swifties love this stuff. 1563 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,840 Speaker 2: But she's going to release her album with a global 1564 01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 2: cinema experience, and I thought, you know what, for all 1565 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,960 Speaker 2: the stick that she gets for being I don't know, 1566 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,200 Speaker 2: is she a standout performer? Would you say that? I 1567 01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,920 Speaker 2: don't know, but she's very popular. She brings a lot 1568 01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 2: of people together. Think of all of her concerts. Think 1569 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,600 Speaker 2: of that generation of kids who you worry are on 1570 01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,599 Speaker 2: their smartphones too often, not doing enough socializing. She gets 1571 01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,760 Speaker 2: them to the cinema together, She gets them to the 1572 01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:44,360 Speaker 2: concerts together. She gets them waiting outside her hotels having 1573 01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,439 Speaker 2: a great time interacting face to face. So for that, 1574 01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:50,719 Speaker 2: Taylor Swift, thank you very much. Twenty seven after six 1575 01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,280 Speaker 2: Huntley and the Coole Afternoons. 1576 01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 27: Whether it's Macro micro or just playing economics, it's all 1577 01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 27: on the Business Hour with Ryan Bridge and Mass for 1578 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,719 Speaker 27: Insurance Investments and Kiui Saber. 1579 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 3: You're in good hands. News Talks ev send seven long true. 1580 01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:24,000 Speaker 12: Nobody knows. 1581 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,200 Speaker 2: You're on News Talksb's twenty five minutes away from seven 1582 01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 2: Great to have your company. We'll go to the UK. 1583 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 2: A UK correspondent will join us before seven o'clock this evening. 1584 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,320 Speaker 2: Lots to discuss the course, including Keers Starmer, who's just 1585 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:42,800 Speaker 2: having a al of a time over there, isn't he 1586 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 2: If he's not losing his two ic to a housing scandal, 1587 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:51,160 Speaker 2: he's losing one of his staff members to an Epstein 1588 01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:55,479 Speaker 2: related scandal, another to an email related scandal for years 1589 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,680 Speaker 2: gone by, not to mention the main Epstein scandal, which 1590 01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 2: was Mandelsson, his ambassador to America. So lots for him 1591 01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:07,040 Speaker 2: on his plate, lots for him to deal with. We'll 1592 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:09,160 Speaker 2: talk to our UK correspondent about that and whether he's 1593 01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 2: kind of going to hang on. Was listening to a 1594 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:16,760 Speaker 2: podcast today, a British politics podcast this morning about I mean, 1595 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 2: he's got three and a half years on the clock 1596 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,519 Speaker 2: to to care Starmer, so it's not like, you know, 1597 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:25,640 Speaker 2: it's panic stations. But then in some ways, I mean, 1598 01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 2: if you think about how often they choose through a 1599 01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:31,439 Speaker 2: leader because of their five year term, you know, you 1600 01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,880 Speaker 2: get it chy, don't you. And here with the three 1601 01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,240 Speaker 2: year electoral cycle, you're more likely to hold on to 1602 01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:40,120 Speaker 2: the same leader and go to the election with them, 1603 01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,840 Speaker 2: because it's a shorter term over there. If you've got 1604 01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:45,880 Speaker 2: to wait another five, four or five years with the 1605 01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,360 Speaker 2: leader that no one likes, then you might be more 1606 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,080 Speaker 2: inclined to roll them. So in a funny kind of way, 1607 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 2: you may may end up with more leaders more and 1608 01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,360 Speaker 2: more changes to leaders more often over there than you 1609 01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,519 Speaker 2: would hear. Anyway, we will talk about that. Just before 1610 01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,160 Speaker 2: seven twenty three to two. Now ran Bridge more coal 1611 01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,880 Speaker 2: on the way for Huntley Power Station, but not of 1612 01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:09,040 Speaker 2: the Indonesian variety. Genesis Energy is locked in a deal 1613 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,519 Speaker 2: to purchase two hundred and forty thousand tons of local 1614 01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 2: coal to keep the lights on there. The move designed 1615 01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:17,440 Speaker 2: to shore up energy security, cutting reliance on overseas imports 1616 01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 2: of Richard take On is the BT Mining CEO with 1617 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 2: us and on the phone, Richard, good evening, okaday Ryan there. 1618 01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,519 Speaker 2: Nice to have you with me. First of all, this deal, 1619 01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:30,960 Speaker 2: how significant is it? 1620 01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,720 Speaker 18: Oh, this is fantastic. We've got Hartley coal going into 1621 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:39,439 Speaker 18: the Hartley power Station. It's been probably a decade since 1622 01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:42,040 Speaker 18: there's been a like a long term supply like this. 1623 01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 18: So we've got one hundred and twenty thousand tons a 1624 01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,760 Speaker 18: year for the next two years. That'll displace about half 1625 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,759 Speaker 18: of what they're importing now on a normal year. Obviously 1626 01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:53,640 Speaker 18: you know in certain years of US dry than I 1627 01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,880 Speaker 18: need more. But yeah, it's significant for us and the 1628 01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,400 Speaker 18: significant for the Hartley district. 1629 01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 2: How why did we need to go to Indonesia in 1630 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:03,679 Speaker 2: the first place. 1631 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:09,160 Speaker 18: Look, it's got to do with the downsizing the mines 1632 01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:12,840 Speaker 18: over the last couple of decades, and you know the 1633 01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:16,360 Speaker 18: coal then really ended up in the making Steel New 1634 01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 18: Zealand Steel Plant public Glenbrook. There was no excess coal. 1635 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:22,840 Speaker 18: And also you know for the for Genesis, they didn't 1636 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:24,280 Speaker 18: really know how much coal they were going to burn, 1637 01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,280 Speaker 18: so it's hard for them to enter into a long 1638 01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 18: term supply contract that US as a producer needs, Whereas 1639 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:31,720 Speaker 18: they can go and get coal from Indonesia and a 1640 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,320 Speaker 18: boat load, you know, with a with a much notice. 1641 01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,840 Speaker 2: So where are you getting this coal from? 1642 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,240 Speaker 18: This is coming from the road to Warra mine just 1643 01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:44,720 Speaker 18: in Huntley itself, just out of Huntley. So it's Look, 1644 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 18: it's part of a long term infrastructure that was set 1645 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:49,040 Speaker 18: up as part of the power station. Originally there's an 1646 01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,800 Speaker 18: internal hall road. It then goes onto a conveyor which 1647 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,000 Speaker 18: feeds directly into the power station. 1648 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,000 Speaker 2: And what were you going to do with this coal 1649 01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:58,600 Speaker 2: had it not gone to Huntley? Do you know what? 1650 01:26:58,800 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 23: You know what I mean? 1651 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,519 Speaker 18: Yep, yep, No, Look at what eventually got sold to 1652 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:07,519 Speaker 18: New Zealand Steel if that plant continues using coal in 1653 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,080 Speaker 18: the same way they have. But you know, there's a 1654 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,439 Speaker 18: lot of coal left in the Hutley area. We've got 1655 01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,679 Speaker 18: a plan for an extension that's actually listed in fast 1656 01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:19,120 Speaker 18: Track and we went the customer for that coal. So 1657 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,800 Speaker 18: we see this as being a really good supply for 1658 01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:24,600 Speaker 18: the next two years, but also it may lead to 1659 01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 18: other coal supply being able to be brought on. 1660 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 2: And is the with the fast track situation, is there 1661 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 2: any indication of for you guys know, whether you are 1662 01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:37,760 Speaker 2: approved where you're along with that process. We're hearing a 1663 01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:41,280 Speaker 2: lot about sort of delays ironically on the fast Track. 1664 01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:45,760 Speaker 18: Look, we haven't got an application and yet we've got 1665 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,880 Speaker 18: two projects listed. We've got the Dennison Buller project down 1666 01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,960 Speaker 18: on the West coast and we've got the Rhodawara Extension 1667 01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,800 Speaker 18: project up in the Hutley area. So we're working on 1668 01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 18: applications for both of those that we haven't presented them 1669 01:27:58,720 --> 01:27:59,880 Speaker 18: to the EPA. 1670 01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,679 Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, what about the two year contract 1671 01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:07,639 Speaker 2: term for this Hunting power station? Is there not much 1672 01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 2: more than that to go around or what's with the term. 1673 01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:16,040 Speaker 18: No, it really just takes us through. That's some exceous 1674 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 18: coal that we believe, well, we know we've got in 1675 01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,080 Speaker 18: this block we're mining now. They maybe a little bit 1676 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:22,680 Speaker 18: more to go past that, but we wanted to be 1677 01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:24,559 Speaker 18: able to be sure we could supply it, so that's 1678 01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,000 Speaker 18: why we've both parties are very happy with the two 1679 01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:27,479 Speaker 18: year deal. 1680 01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:31,080 Speaker 2: All right, interesting stuff, Richard, appreciate your time. Thanks so 1681 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:34,040 Speaker 2: much for it. To take on the taken I should say, 1682 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,120 Speaker 2: who's the BT Mining chief executive. It's just gone twenty 1683 01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:39,240 Speaker 2: to seven your news talks in b We'll get to 1684 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:39,759 Speaker 2: the UK. 1685 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,879 Speaker 1: Next, everything from SMS to the big corporates, the Business 1686 01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:49,280 Speaker 1: Hour with Ryan Bridge and Mass for insurance investors and Kia. 1687 01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:51,479 Speaker 3: You're in good hands news talks. 1688 01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,439 Speaker 2: He'd be seventeen away from seven. You're on news talks. 1689 01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:57,400 Speaker 2: He'd be. Gavin Gray is a UK correspondent joining us 1690 01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:02,160 Speaker 2: this evening. Gavin good a right, flight disruptions. We've got 1691 01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,040 Speaker 2: the cyber attacks and flight disruptions across Europe and they 1692 01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:07,160 Speaker 2: sit to get worse or continue at least. 1693 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,880 Speaker 28: Yes they are, and it's Brussels which appears to be 1694 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,920 Speaker 28: the worst affected. So this was all a software cyber 1695 01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:20,519 Speaker 28: attack which struck several airports across the Europe, including Berlin 1696 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:24,719 Speaker 28: in Dublin and Brussels and London Heathrow Britain's biggest airport, 1697 01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:29,120 Speaker 28: and it's basically a system that allows airlines to share 1698 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:33,080 Speaker 28: check in desks and also the baggage sorting. So it 1699 01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:36,640 Speaker 28: is effectively that that's been we believe the subject of 1700 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:41,160 Speaker 28: a cyber attack, and Collins Airspace, who run that aerospace, 1701 01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,800 Speaker 28: who run that particular software thing, saying well that they 1702 01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:47,040 Speaker 28: have almost resolved the issue, but that hasn't stopped many 1703 01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:50,040 Speaker 28: many flights being canceled across the weekend. This struck on 1704 01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:54,519 Speaker 28: Friday night and Heathrow was looking pretty messy, so was 1705 01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:57,960 Speaker 28: Brussels and Berlin. On Saturday. Things got a little bit 1706 01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,479 Speaker 28: better yesterday. Today we're being told most are getting back 1707 01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:05,040 Speaker 28: to normal, but not so at Brussels, where effective they've 1708 01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:08,960 Speaker 28: been asked. All airlines have been asked to cancel nearly 1709 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:13,000 Speaker 28: half their flights, so really a massive massive problem there 1710 01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:15,840 Speaker 28: and it has led to all these airports having to 1711 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:19,720 Speaker 28: check people in using pen and paper. British Airways incidentally 1712 01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:22,679 Speaker 28: was not doing that. It has its own backup system 1713 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,719 Speaker 28: and that's led to questions about why other airports don't 1714 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:27,519 Speaker 28: have their own backup system. 1715 01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:30,360 Speaker 2: Any idea at this point, Gavin, where the cyber attects 1716 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:31,200 Speaker 2: have actually come from. 1717 01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:32,720 Speaker 4: No. 1718 01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,519 Speaker 28: All sorts of finger pointing again about potentially from Russian 1719 01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:41,439 Speaker 28: hackers and potentially those Russian hackers being linked to Russia, 1720 01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,240 Speaker 28: to the state of Russia. But we don't know that 1721 01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:47,000 Speaker 28: for sure, and indeed the company itself is trying to 1722 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 28: studiously avoid using the word cyber attack, just saying it 1723 01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:53,080 Speaker 28: is a cyber issue, but everyone else seems to be 1724 01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:55,280 Speaker 28: reported that they believe it to be a cyber attack. 1725 01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,680 Speaker 2: All right, Okay, speaking of the Russians in staying in 1726 01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:01,479 Speaker 2: the skies, Estonia is re Christian consultation with NATO members 1727 01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:04,400 Speaker 2: of this after the Russian wall planes violated their space 1728 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:05,080 Speaker 2: Friday morning. 1729 01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:10,040 Speaker 28: Yeah, so for the second time in just this month, 1730 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 28: we're getting news that Russia has flown over airspace and 1731 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:19,839 Speaker 28: Estonia being this time they reckoned some three meg fighter 1732 01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:23,679 Speaker 28: jets flew over their airspace for twelve minutes. Now Russia 1733 01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:27,400 Speaker 28: is saying, no, we're an international airspace. But not according 1734 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:30,200 Speaker 28: to the Estonians who say no, it was flown over 1735 01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,479 Speaker 28: and they're pretty angry about it. Indeed, it's led. I 1736 01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:36,479 Speaker 28: think lots of NATO countries now to get really jittery. 1737 01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:40,519 Speaker 28: They are bolstering that eastern flank, and Italy, Finland and 1738 01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:43,560 Speaker 28: Sweden were scrambling jets and as I said, for the 1739 01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,800 Speaker 28: second time this month when a NATO members airspace was 1740 01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:49,240 Speaker 28: breached by Russia. Incidentally, if you think, oh, this is 1741 01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:52,880 Speaker 28: all getting a bit boring, the Czech president Peta Pavel 1742 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,880 Speaker 28: is saying that NATO should respond by shooting down any 1743 01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:01,880 Speaker 28: planes from Russia or any other country she's overflying without permission. 1744 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 28: Russia saying, you know, it had nothing to do with it, 1745 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:06,600 Speaker 28: it's not illegal, and so forth. But there is a 1746 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,920 Speaker 28: feeling that Russia is testing NATO to see what it 1747 01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:12,080 Speaker 28: is and is not willing to do. 1748 01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't like to agree with something like that, 1749 01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:18,400 Speaker 2: something as drastic is that. But if the idea is 1750 01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:20,600 Speaker 2: that he is testing, and he said at Stonia in 1751 01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,559 Speaker 2: Poland his head, Romania is testing the boundaries of NATO. 1752 01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,519 Speaker 2: NATO's response thus far would seem to be pretty weak, 1753 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:26,920 Speaker 2: wouldn't it. 1754 01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,639 Speaker 28: Yeah, yeah, I think that's exactly. I think the point 1755 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:34,200 Speaker 28: many awake at you and making that there's meetings, it's discussions, 1756 01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 28: it's jiggling around where the defenses are and a unanimous 1757 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:42,600 Speaker 28: sort of statement of intent, but there is actually no 1758 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:44,400 Speaker 28: intent being signaled at the moment. 1759 01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:49,439 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Gavin Gray, UK correspondent. Time is fifteen 1760 01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,800 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven. Actually, just before we leave the UK, 1761 01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:55,320 Speaker 2: I thought I would assume with you this a little 1762 01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,360 Speaker 2: piece from an article that I was reading at the weekend, 1763 01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,920 Speaker 2: sent by a friend. It's about Jeremy Corman and Zara Sultan. 1764 01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,120 Speaker 2: If you don't know who, you know who. He is, 1765 01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:06,759 Speaker 2: former Labor leader. Of course, she is a young, young lefty. 1766 01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:10,759 Speaker 2: She quit Labor in quite dramatic fashion, and they started 1767 01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:12,760 Speaker 2: a new party together. You might have heard of this. 1768 01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:16,719 Speaker 2: It's called your Party, and this was only maybe three 1769 01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,400 Speaker 2: four months ago, but back in July is when they 1770 01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:23,519 Speaker 2: started this party. Anyway, it's collapsed already, it's basically falling 1771 01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:26,680 Speaker 2: to pieces right before your very eyes. And it's I 1772 01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:35,120 Speaker 2: think liberal Moway socialists coupled with conservative Muslims, coupled with transactivists, 1773 01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:39,880 Speaker 2: what could possibly go wrong? This is an article that 1774 01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:43,439 Speaker 2: called the collapse of your party is bloody hilarious. It's 1775 01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:45,080 Speaker 2: by a when you can go and look it up 1776 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:50,080 Speaker 2: by Brendan O'Neill from a website called Spiked. He says, Sultana, 1777 01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:54,320 Speaker 2: this is the young liberal lefty. Sultana embodies the cult 1778 01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:58,080 Speaker 2: of victimology that bizarrely passes for leftism these days.

Mark Ruffalo, the 1798 01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:15,040 Speaker 2: American actor, is well. He's part of a growing number 1799 01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:20,560 Speaker 2: of Hollywood elite who are basically going crazy over the 1800 01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:23,840 Speaker 2: whole Jimmy Kimmel, and rightly so. I think anyone who 1801 01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:27,479 Speaker 2: gets canceled in a situation like that, you know you'll 1802 01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,360 Speaker 2: provoke some strong reaction. Anyway, he's having a cracks. Is 1803 01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:32,400 Speaker 2: that living in the US will soon be like living 1804 01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:33,760 Speaker 2: under the Taliban. 1805 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:40,960 Speaker 29: Because authoritarian regimes, fascist regimes have to degrade our freedoms 1806 01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:45,680 Speaker 29: more and more over time, until we're living the smallest, 1807 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:50,879 Speaker 29: the most frightened, the most secretive lives. Think of yourselves 1808 01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:54,160 Speaker 29: living under the Taliban, because that's where we're headed. 1809 01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:58,280 Speaker 2: Geez, all right, a bit of a long bow, I 1810 01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,400 Speaker 2: would have said, anyway, why do people listen to actors? 1811 01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 2: Why do people care what actors think? I'm getting a 1812 01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:07,240 Speaker 2: bit sick of musicians and actors like you need to 1813 01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,479 Speaker 2: separate politics. There's so much going on in the world, 1814 01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:12,640 Speaker 2: so many bad things going on in the world, so 1815 01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:16,160 Speaker 2: much war, so much hate, so much division. Can we 1816 01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:18,519 Speaker 2: not just go to the cinema? Can we not just 1817 01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:21,880 Speaker 2: put on the radio and listen to some music and 1818 01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,479 Speaker 2: just sort of tune out from all that? And isn't 1819 01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:26,760 Speaker 2: that what arts me to be about for the most part. 1820 01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,519 Speaker 2: So if you could just please, if you're an actor 1821 01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,360 Speaker 2: listening to this, if you're a musician, just keep your 1822 01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,080 Speaker 2: thoughts to yourself and do what you do best, you know, 1823 01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:39,760 Speaker 2: entertain us, make us feel good. That the world needs 1824 01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:41,280 Speaker 2: a bit more of that, I think at the moment. 1825 01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:43,240 Speaker 2: And the more that they open their mouths and talk 1826 01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:45,439 Speaker 2: about politics, no matter what side it comes from. I mean, 1827 01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:47,920 Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm I'm being quite agnostic about all 1828 01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:51,879 Speaker 2: of that, but when they open their mouths about politics, 1829 01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 2: you do tend to just sort of tune out and 1830 01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:58,800 Speaker 2: shake your head. Ryan Huntley Cole going to Huntley power 1831 01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,759 Speaker 2: Station and genius idea, says Jack. Yeah, it is pretty 1832 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:04,960 Speaker 2: cool to see it happening. Jack. I mean, not that 1833 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:06,439 Speaker 2: you want to be burning coal. But if you're going 1834 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,120 Speaker 2: to be burning coal, you might as well be burning 1835 01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:10,240 Speaker 2: Kiwi coal that comes down the road rather than on 1836 01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:16,559 Speaker 2: a ship from over in Indonesia. Ryan, maybe Huntley Power 1837 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,240 Speaker 2: Station should not be allowed to use gas to make 1838 01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,799 Speaker 2: power when it has the option to use coal. Until 1839 01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:26,800 Speaker 2: New Zealand gas supply is secured. This will leave a 1840 01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:30,479 Speaker 2: huge gas amount for companies to manufacture and stop power 1841 01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:33,719 Speaker 2: companies buying up all the supply contracts for gas, blocking 1842 01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 2: other companies and in turn leading to closures.
