1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Digging through the spin spids to find the real story. 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: Or it's Ryan Bridge on Heather Duplicy Ellen drive with 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: one New Zealand. Let's get connected and news talks. 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: They'd be good. 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 3: Afternoon coming up today, Chris Bishop. We're back to one 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 3: hundred on the state highways from tonight. Auckland Hospitals run 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 3: out of hot Water Wellington's Events Center. Events are a flop. 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 3: Dan Mitchison is in the US and Gavin Gray's in 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 3: the UK. Ryan Bridge, so speed limits they're back to 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 3: one hundred from tonight. This is on about thirty eight 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 3: stretches of state highway. And I celebrate this because I 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 3: hate driving slowly, and I strongly dislike other people who 13 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: drive slowly on our roads. Don't like them. And I 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: wanted to come here today and I wanted to tell 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 3: you that lower speed limits are a fraud and that 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: they don't save lives. I wanted to mount a case 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 3: for lower speed limits having little to no effect on 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: accidents and injuries and dead and everything they go on about. 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: I wanted to defend speed this afternoon, but the fact 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: is I can't. You can't not only do those annoying 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 3: evidence people have the evidence, But there's also just plain 22 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 3: old common sense. Right if we all cruised around at 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 3: ten kilometers an hour in our cars, there would be 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 3: no deaths on the roads. So it's true. So the 25 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 3: question is not does slowing down save lives? The question 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: is how many extra crashes are we willing to tolerate? 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 3: Are we willing to wear in order to get places faster? 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 3: How many extra crashes are we willing to tolerate to 29 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 3: get our goods and our exports delivered to supermarkets and 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 3: to ports up and down the country, economic growth, productivity, 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: all of those things. Because let's be clear, people will 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 3: still die on our roads doing eighty kilometers an hour. 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: Does that mean that we drop all of our speed 34 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: limits to fifty? 35 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: No? 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: Where does it stop. At the end of the day. 37 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: Governments draw line in the sand, and it's often where 38 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: they draw this line. The problem with the reductions that 39 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: the last lot enacted was that they took that arbitrary 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: line and they drew it all over roads around the 41 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 3: country that didn't need the reductions, in places where the 42 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 3: locals just scratched their heads in disbelief. Masterton to Featherston 43 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 3: is a good example. It's a road that I drive 44 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: relatively frequently and the journey from Wellington to Marsterton used 45 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: to take you closer to an hour and a half. 46 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 3: Now it will be closer to two hours. That's on 47 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: my clock anyway. And even Kera MacNulty, the Labor MP, 48 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: the local MP and cabinet minister in the government that 49 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 3: made the change, thought it was done. Apparently he couldn't 50 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 3: do anything to change it. So finally some of these 51 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: decisions are being reversed and that is a good thing, 52 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: including that particular stretch of State Highway to All of this, 53 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: of course, ignores the bigger problem, which is the state 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 3: of our roads. People don't die on good roads generally. 55 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: In fact, there's plenty of international evidence. If you want it, 56 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 3: you put the speed up from one hundred to one 57 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: hundred and ten on a good road without more deaths, 58 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: and that is proof that the real problem is the 59 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: state of the roads and that lowering speed limits was 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 3: the half asked way of masking that problem. 61 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: Brian Bridge ten. 62 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 3: After four news talks thereb In the first two weeks 63 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: of this year, batteries have caused five different fires in 64 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 3: rubbish and recycling trucks and that is just in Auckland. 65 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 3: The Auckland recycling facility has one or two small fires 66 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: every week. Justine Hayes is with Auckland Council. She's the 67 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: general manager of Waste Solutions and she's with us this afternoon. 68 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Justine, Good afternoon. This is all to do 69 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: with lithium iron batteries, are we sure of that? 70 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: We can't attribute them the fires directly, but what we 71 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: do know is that the highly explosive material, and there's 72 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: many more of them in our waste stream than ever before, 73 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: and we are experiencing many more fires. So it's a 74 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: very very likely cause of this issue. 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: How many So five fire truck fires in the space 76 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: of a couple of weeks since we started the year, 77 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: that's nuts. 78 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, We've actually had nine in January now, so that 79 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 4: that was in the first two weeks and we've had 80 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 4: another four. So yes, that's our highest number in one month. 81 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: What happens when there's a fire, Like, does the driver 82 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 3: see smoke and then pull over and call someone? Is 83 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: there an explosion? 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: Sometimes they are aware with something like smoke and kind 85 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 4: of can take more precaution. Sometimes there's an explosion. Sometimes 86 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 4: they're literally seeing the footage of flames in the truck, 87 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 4: and unfortunately, the only way of extinguishing the fire at 88 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 4: the moment is to drive to a safe place where 89 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 4: they can tip the rubbish out onto the ground so 90 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 4: that emergency services can put out the fire. And the 91 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 4: problem with the fires it requires huge volumes of water 92 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 4: to put out, so then that creates a whole load 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 4: more waste and environmental spoil, which then requires even more 94 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 4: clean up. So yeah, it's a big problem. So and 95 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 4: of course that relies on the truck being able to 96 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 4: get somewhere safe to offload, and. 97 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 3: That would just presumably be the closest place. So then 98 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 3: you end up then with a bunch of rubbish on 99 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 3: the side of the road that I guess you guys 100 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 3: are going to come and clean up again, that's right. 101 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: And unfortunately many of these fires occur in our recycling trucks, 102 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: so actually that all of that recycling material then becomes 103 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 4: our landfill rather than recyclable, right, So it's a bit 104 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 4: of a double whareme? 105 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: What do you know what the main culport is, because 106 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 3: there's you know, there's the whole ev batteries, there's the scooters, 107 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: there's the vapes. Do you know, do you have an 108 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 3: idea of which of those is the worst offender? 109 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 5: No, we don't really. 110 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 4: Unfortunately the problem is the increasing numbers of all of 111 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 4: those things, so vapes, laptop batteries, phones, electronic tooth brushes, raises, toys. 112 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 4: You know, there's an endless number of things now that 113 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 4: have batteries to operate them, and that's the problem. So 114 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 4: it's difficult to estimate the total number of these batteries 115 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: that are in circulation. So it's actually hard to even 116 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 4: estimate the scale of this risk. 117 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: Interesting, Justine, thanks so much for your time. That's Justin 118 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: havees Or Thus she's the general manager of Waste Solutions 119 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: for Auckland Council. It is thirteen minutes after four News 120 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: Talks EDB. Actually I got some numbers for you on 121 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: and on lithium ion batteries, how many more there are 122 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: in circulation right now and how many more fires we 123 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 3: are seeing from the monk of them to you shortly, 124 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: you're on News Talks CEDB. Sport next with Darcy who 125 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 3: will take. 126 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: The White House results and analysis of the US election 127 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: on Heather Dupless Alan Drive with One New Zealand. 128 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: Let's get connected News Talk Sedb. 129 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 3: It is sixteen after four news talks EDB and Darcy's 130 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 3: here was sport, Dusty good. 131 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 6: Afternoon and afternoon to Utian. 132 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: We've just been talking about the temperature of the studio. 133 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: So the boys in the afternoon have it at about 134 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 3: nineteen degrees and I've put it up by a degree 135 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: to twenty, which I think is sort of doable. But 136 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: you're walking in here like you've got something wrong. 137 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 6: I'm really skinny. 138 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: What do you say? 139 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 6: I have no body fat, so I feel cold. I'm 140 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 6: sitting at about seventy five kg at the moment, and 141 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 6: I think I feel way too much. So I'm going 142 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 6: to go on line in the sun like a lizard 143 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 6: and recharge after this cross not sport, though, is it? 144 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 7: No? 145 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 3: Netflix and Amazon Prime reportedly looking to go after the 146 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: NERL broadcasting rights in Australia. 147 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 6: I'm not sure if they're going after it, and was 148 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 6: the point the landis is go? I think you guys 149 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 6: should buy it. I want a million billion dollars. So 150 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 6: I think though that these massive streaming companies, and you 151 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 6: know that the likes of Netflix and does Zone and 152 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 6: Amazon have already or more than to toe and the 153 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 6: sports broadcast market. They've almost dived into it. This is 154 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 6: a massive area of growth for these major international streaming monsters, 155 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 6: and they look to attract the eyeballs of sport globally. 156 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 6: They're willing to pour a lot of money into it. 157 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 6: And you look at DA and z Orzone and where 158 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 6: they came from. Now the Saudi Arabians have invested a 159 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 6: billion dollars, buying ten percent of the market, if ten percent. 160 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 8: Of their company. 161 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 6: So they're super super ken and they've climbed into everything, 162 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 6: the Saudi Arabians. So you might have some moral objections 163 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 6: to that, but at the end of the day, it's 164 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 6: only a matter of time before they own everything. But 165 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 6: of course you got Netflix on the other side going no, 166 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 6: we want a bit of that.

Now, eventually that story went away through German 202 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 6: courts as they he paid a set sum of money, 203 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 6: so it didn't go through the court, so he pushed 204 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 6: it to one side.

The cost of living crisis is quite clearly 339 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 9: is still there because prices overall are not falling, but 340 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 9: key prices are starting to moderate. 341 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 3: About time for them too. Finally, the city of Greenville 342 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 3: and North Carolina has agreed to allow an RV dealership 343 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 3: to fly a gigantic American flag that's so big it 344 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 3: breaches local regulations. Every Camping World outlet in the US, 345 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 3: including the Greenville location, flies a flag that's almost three 346 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 3: hundred square meters in totally. For context, the four of 347 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 3: the debating chamber in our Parliament is two hundred and 348 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: sixty square mesis, well, this flag is fifteen times bigger 349 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 3: than the maximum flag size you're allowed in Greenville. The 350 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: city has agreed to make an exception for Camping World 351 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 3: because the owner said he wouldn't take it down. 352 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind 353 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 354 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 3: There's got stateside now, Dan Mitchesson, our US correspondent, Dan 355 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 3: Good Afternoon, Hey, Ryan very young, twenty seven years old, 356 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 3: the new White House Press secretary, laying down the law 357 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: on her first day. How'd she do. 358 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 13: Well? 359 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 14: I guess it depends who you ask. I mean, she's smart, 360 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 14: that's for sure. I mean, what we know about her 361 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 14: is she ran for a seat in Congress a couple 362 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 14: of years ago on a pro Trump gun ownership platform. 363 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 14: She lost, but she's been a Trump fan since her 364 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 14: high school days. She is very gen Z style. Given 365 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 14: a shakeup at the podium earlier today, I mean, she 366 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 14: opened the room to TikTokers and she has created a 367 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 14: seawash and I should say she but she and Donald 368 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 14: Trump for new media. So that's you know, that's sort 369 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 14: of a part of the overhaul that I think Trump 370 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 14: wants in this in this new cabinet to. 371 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 3: Said, I mean, how's that gone down with, you know, 372 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 3: with the Report at Times and the and the Jennalist 373 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 3: Because it's a reality that those more traditional you know, 374 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 3: I mean c and N is laying off hundreds of 375 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 3: stuff right now, and the podcasts and all that stuff 376 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: attacking off. So does it does it make sense? 377 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 14: I mean that's a good question too, because you've got 378 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 14: old media and new media right now. I mean, reporters 379 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 14: obviously start putting up their hands right away, and she 380 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 14: started with the new media I mean like Axios and 381 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 14: and Britbart and before going to the traditional news organizations 382 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 14: and a lot of the right wing outlets on this. 383 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 14: So I think that's sort of giving us a clue 384 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 14: about where they're headed. Like you said, CNN had just 385 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 14: laid off two hundred people. But what they're doing is 386 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 14: they're going to their parent company and they're going to 387 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 14: use that money and they're putting that into digital and 388 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 14: new media. So some of those people probably going to 389 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 14: be applaning for those jobs, I would think, But it's 390 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 14: it's you know, will she be around though, that's the 391 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 14: question six months from now. You know, we had Sean 392 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 14: Spicer during Trump's first term here, and then we had 393 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 14: three other spokespeople that followed followed Spicer as well, So 394 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 14: we'll see short runway. 395 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 3: Google Maps is going to rename the Golf of Mexico 396 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: to the Gulf of America. 397 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 14: I find this fascinating today. This has been something that 398 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 14: I've been talking about with a lot of colleagues too, 399 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 14: how you can go ahead and do something like this. Now, 400 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 14: the thing is, when you get into the weeds of this, 401 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 14: Google will say, okay, the location's name will appear differently 402 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 14: depending on where you are. So in the US, we're 403 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 14: going to see it as I guess the what what 404 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 14: President Trump wants to call it, the Gulf of America. 405 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 14: Around the rest of the world, you're going to see 406 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 14: it by the name used by the country where you're 407 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 14: accessing the map. So you'll see the Gulf of Mexico, 408 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 14: and you all may see right next to it, to 409 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 14: the Gulf of America. And you know, the federal government 410 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 14: will formally reference the golf in this mountain they want 411 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 14: to change over here back to Mount McKinley in the 412 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 14: new names. But I mean, just think about all the 413 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 14: history books and the maps that are printed out for 414 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 14: I mean You can't go back and forth with something 415 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 14: like this, now, can you? 416 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 3: Why does Starbucks stop getting a panic buston. 417 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 14: Because they're not allowing people to just come hang out 418 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 14: like they used to. You know, people wanted to just 419 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 14: go in and use the restroom or hang out in 420 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 14: the store. So this is kind of a reversal of 421 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 14: their open door code. And why this is if you 422 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 14: go back to twenty eighteen, they had a couple of 423 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 14: African American men who werearrested in Philadelphia and a Starbucks there. 424 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 14: They were waiting for a business meeting to start. They 425 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 14: didn't buy anything. So you flash forward to today and 426 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 14: the new CEO says, no, we don't want people just 427 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 14: hanging around here. So they've seen some pushback on this. 428 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 14: Some stores are going to have these panic buttons that 429 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 14: will prevent more people from coming in. Employees are getting 430 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 14: some kind of training on how to de escalate confrontations. 431 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 14: And you understand both sides. I think, I mean, it's 432 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 14: nice when you're caught short and you want to run 433 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 14: into a Starbucks to use the bathroom there, But you know, 434 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 14: you see a lot of teens and homeless hanging out 435 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 14: all day taking up space and this is you know, 436 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 14: at the end of the day, a business bottom line 437 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 14: is the companies there to make money and they need 438 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 14: the seats free for people that want to buy something. 439 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Dan, thank you for that. Dan Mitchison, a US correspondent, 440 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: just gone nineteen minutes. 441 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 2: Away from five Bryan Bridge. 442 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 3: So if you've been paying attention to Parliament this afternoon, 443 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 3: which let's face it, I mean I watched question Time 444 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 3: and honestly, the caliber of the debate these days is 445 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 3: just not what it was. And Jerry Baron I had 446 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 3: listened to Jerry this afternoon. He said he's got hearing 447 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 3: aids now so he's actually finding it a little overwhelming 448 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 3: in the chamber because he can now hear all of 449 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 3: the mud slinging that's going on from the back of 450 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 3: the debating chamber. Anyway, it was in a Select committee 451 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 3: today that the departy Mardi MP Muddy Amen or Kapa 452 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 3: Kinghey said this to the Children's Minister Karen Saw.

And 477 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 17: I've got to be really honest, what I've witnessed this 478 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 17: afternoon is showing that even day one, the deterioration of 479 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 17: our behavior and our debate can't be held. 480 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 16: So I thought, oh good, they're going to stay in 481 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 16: They're not going to stay out of pocket things, They're 482 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 16: not going to be too extreme with their language. I thought, fantastic. 483 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 16: They've taken the year, they've taken the summer to assess 484 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 16: alas it took less than twenty four hours for Tiparti 485 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 16: Marti to show their own deterioration in the way that 486 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 16: they're speaking and the way that they're interacting with the 487 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 16: other MPs. Have a listen to what Ti parti Marti 488 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 16: p Mediameno Cappaccini told Karen Shaw during a Select committee 489 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 16: this morning when talking about the boot camps. 490 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 15: So, how in your institutionalized, individualized using your words process, 491 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 15: does your system and institutional system understand that and respond 492 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 15: to it in an enduring way because it doesn't sound like, Look, 493 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 15: I have. 494 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 5: To disagree with most of what you've said, and you're 495 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 5: entitled to say it, and I actually disagree with most 496 00:24:59,200 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 5: of what you've. 497 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 15: S got a gat acknowledgments you don't understand. 498 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 16: So what she said there, that's a that's Marie Manao 499 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 16: Kapakini telling Karen Shaw, who is a Marty MP, that 500 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 16: she doesn't understand the essence of being Mary. And this 501 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 16: is the same MP who accused the Coalition government of 502 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 16: having a quote mission to exterminate Marty and who is 503 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 16: used words like white supremacy, paktiha supremacy when criticizing their 504 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 16: repeal of seven double A of the Tamariki actor. Meanwhile, 505 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 16: sure has been the victim of these attacks before, as 506 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 16: you're well remember Labor MP Calvin Davison. Calvin Davison said 507 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 16: that she saw the world through a quote vanilla lens. 508 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 16: But according to Tipati Marti called leader Debbie Nardi a packer. 509 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 16: She essentially stood by the words of the MP. 510 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 18: I mean, our role is the challenge and you have 511 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 18: seen it in here specifically, we mentioned the day that 512 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 18: we did the Hucker on what it's like to be 513 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 18: cornered and held to ransom. 514 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 16: But Seymour's having none of it. He says that all 515 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 16: people who oppose racism should oppose Tipati Marti. 516 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 7: Well, no, because they don't think they've done anything wrong. 517 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 7: And that is my point, is that they are race fanatics, 518 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 7: racial supremacists, people who believe that before you can talk 519 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 7: about anything else, you've got to talk about your ethnic background. 520 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 7: And that's what I'm wholeheartedly opposed to have. 521 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 16: So we had a couple of minutes of respite yesterday 522 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 16: in the House and we're back to, as I said, 523 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 16: the way things were. 524 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: It's interesting because this has happened for years and years. 525 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 3: They used to say this about Paula Bennett when she 526 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 3: was in government. They say about Simon Bridges as well, 527 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 3: you know, you're not a real milding, I think was 528 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 3: the phrase that they used to throw around. Then meanwhile, Winston, 529 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 3: what's he done? What are the Greens upset about? 530 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 16: Well, the first shots were fired yesterday when Winston Peter 531 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 16: said this in the house. 532 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 8: I know they're laughing. 533 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 19: The Greens are laughing at that because they find that comical. 534 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 19: They find that comical. The very people who are here, 535 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 19: on the very refuge that wiged to them, have come 536 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 19: here with your ideas foreign to our country, native to this, 537 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 19: and they wish two in person, one out of Parliament. 538 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 19: Now you don't, you're not gonna succeed you. You might 539 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 19: be laughing now, but you might be laughing now, but 540 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 19: you have been crying tomorrow come to this country. So 541 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 19: some Vergian no, let me turn out our policy in sunshine. 542 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 16: So that was directed to Green MP's Lawrence Sunnan and 543 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 16: Francisco Hernandez, who are both of Asian descent, which the 544 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 16: Greens are taking exception to well. 545 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 20: To imply that a migrant cannot voice political views and 546 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 20: to dismiss political views because of someone's migrant background implies 547 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 20: a level of the soils to the country and that 548 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 20: is an issue that we take. But more than anything again, 549 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 20: this is about the harm that peace words horse outside 550 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 20: of these four walls. 551 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 16: So obviously they're not happy about that. Winston Peters today 552 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 16: was trying to wiggle out of it. 553 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 8: Well. 554 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 21: I was talking about two people jeering and shouting from 555 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,719 Speaker 21: the back benches, the debates of no moments then, and 556 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 21: I was putting out it in the all historical parliamentary 557 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 21: debating fashion. If you can't take it, go somewhere else. Oh, 558 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 21: are you too soft for the next question? 559 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 16: So, as per usual, he turned the questions back on us. 560 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 16: And that's of course that's not what he means. You 561 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 16: could just go back and physically see what he said 562 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 16: written down. He's absolutely out of line in terms of 563 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 16: what he's implying here and what he said. Meanwhile, the 564 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 16: Greens are also calling out Shane Jones from the same 565 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 16: party for heckling in the house as well. Now it's 566 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 16: a little hard to hear have a listen of. 567 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 5: Human life decreases, but it's not just about human life. 568 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 16: So he yells, send the Mexicans home. See if you 569 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 16: can make it up when I play it again. 570 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 5: Of human life decreases, but it's. 571 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 16: Not just so the Greens say, it's a reference to 572 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 16: the fact that Ricardo Menandez March a Green MP, is 573 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 16: from Mexico. So a little bit more explaining for New 574 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 16: Zealand first to do again, it's like you pick any 575 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 16: day from the political calendar in the last twenty five 576 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,479 Speaker 16: years and we're back to back to the future. 577 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 3: Really fantastic. What is the day two and we're xenophobia 578 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 3: and racism top of the agenda? Jason, as I mean 579 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 3: it as expected, right, I shouldn't have anything different, dear me. 580 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 3: Jason Wall's News Talk seedb's political editor with us from Wellington. 581 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for that. Nine Away from five 582 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 3: Chris Bishop on speeding after well, not speeding. I shouldn't 583 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 3: say that, because you're not meant to speed. Everybody, remember 584 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 3: that is not what you're meant to do. But you 585 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 3: will be able to go one hundred kilometers an hour 586 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 3: in certain parts of New Zealand on our state highway 587 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 3: network from tonight roads that previously the speed limit was 588 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 3: reduced to eighty ks. Now, question for the Greens, so 589 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 3: after they have accused New Zealand first have being xenophobic 590 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 3: towards them, are they also then going to condemn to 591 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 3: Party Maldi for being racist against Act.

We're not focusing on the 627 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 3: right issues. I tend to agree with that. I think 628 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 3: we have very big fish to fry and having arguments. Honestly, 629 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 3: this is day two in Parliament and we are shout 630 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 3: having a screaming match about who's racist and who's xenophobic 631 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 3: on both sides, on both sides. Well, let's talk about 632 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 3: something more positive. Dolphins quite a cool thing. You know, 633 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 3: dolphins normally you'll see them in a small little group, 634 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 3: a little pod sort of ten twenty maybe thirty max 635 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 3: and the central coast of California a very unusual super 636 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 3: pod of wait for it, fifteen hundred dolphins all crew 637 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 3: us together. Can you just imagine, just stop for a second, 638 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 3: think about how cool that would look. And there was 639 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 3: a couple of lucky scientists who were on a boat 640 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 3: who were looking at this. There's a quote here from 641 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 3: one of them. They were just having a great time. 642 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 3: They were breaching everywhere, as tails were slapping, coming right 643 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 3: on over to the boat. They looked like they were 644 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 3: having a big party. And I started to think, what 645 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 3: would fifteen hundred dolphins be doing together at one time? 646 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 3: You know, is the super Bowl on? Is it like 647 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,239 Speaker 3: the swimming championships? What are they doing together? Apparently this 648 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: happens semi regularly. 649 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 14: You know. 650 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 3: Normally they'll have their groups of twenty thirty whatever, they'll 651 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 3: just come together and the more of more of them 652 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 3: will come together, like they're at Westfield and they were 653 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 3: swimming south, so they're sort of migrating apparently at this time. Anyway, 654 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 3: I thought that was quite a nice thing to read today, 655 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 3: so I mentionine that, but fifteen hundred all at once 656 00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 3: probably a bit deafening. News is next yourself. 657 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 11: To the matselfe Pressonal. 658 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: Moley, Liberal. 659 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: Questions, answers, facts analysis, The drive show you trust for 660 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: the full picture. Brian Bridge on Heather Duplicy allan drive 661 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: with one New Zealand Let's get connected news talks. 662 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 8: At be Good evening. 663 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 3: It is seven after five. Speed limits are going back 664 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 3: up again from tonight thirty eight sections of the state 665 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 3: highway network they'll return to their previously higher speed limits. 666 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 3: This will all happen by July. 667 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 8: First. 668 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 3: The first to see the increase State Highway two between 669 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 3: Featherston and Masterton run over the room attackers from Wellington 670 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 3: Transport Minister Chris Bishop is with us. Good afternoon, Good afternoon. 671 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 3: So what's taking so some will start happening tonight. What's 672 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 3: the whole But with all the others, Oh. 673 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 24: It's just so that NZTA can over the next few 674 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 24: weeks as they do sort of routine maintenance and upgrades 675 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 24: and all the other things that they do on roads, 676 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 24: they do them at the same time, which saves some 677 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 24: money and makes it more efficient. But they'll all be 678 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 24: done by the first of July. But we're doing that 679 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 24: wire Apple one straight away because it's the one that's 680 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 24: caused the most community angst and it's also the easiest 681 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 24: to do because it's a long straight section of road 682 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 24: and anyone who's driven it knows it's ridiculous. It's eighty 683 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 24: right now. It's enormously frustrating for motorists there. So it's 684 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 24: going back up to one hundred and that will happen overnight. 685 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 24: So as of tomorrow morning, you can drive on one 686 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 24: hundred on that section of rowd. 687 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 3: Fantastic, fantastic news, because I drive that quite a bit 688 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 3: and they reckon. You'll only get it'll only take three 689 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 3: minutes off your journey. But I have to struggled to 690 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 3: believe that. I think that it added much more going 691 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 3: eighty k's along there. 692 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 24: I was a bit surprised when I read that myself. 693 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 24: I sort of thought it'd be a bit more than 694 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 24: three minutes. That's the official advice, but you know, some 695 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 24: people's journeys will be a bit quicker, little bit slower, 696 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 24: but depending on the time of day and what they're 697 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 24: driving and all that. So, but yeah, look, definitely be 698 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 24: a time saying. 699 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 3: You know, when they come up with this advice, do 700 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 3: they actually go and sit in the car and start 701 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 3: the timer or do they just do a calculation from Wellington? 702 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 3: Because I think that's part of the at least this 703 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 3: is what the locals there think. This is part of 704 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 3: the problem with this whole issue. You've got someone sitting 705 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 3: in an office in Wellington or maybe Auckland mapping out 706 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 3: the road and it's got so many bends in it, 707 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 3: you know it can only handle eighty k's without actually 708 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 3: going and looking at it. 709 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 24: That has definitely been part of the problem, There's no 710 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 24: question about that. So that the last government had an 711 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 24: approach which was basically speed is the only thing that matters, 712 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 24: and we're just going to blanketly lower the speed limit 713 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 24: all around the country, both local roads and state highways 714 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 24: and communities said hang on a minute, that there's bits 715 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 24: of the road that should be a bit lower. That's fine, 716 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 24: But actually this idea that you should just you know, 717 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 24: lower the whole estate highway too over in the wire 718 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 24: Rapper for example, down to eighty and pretend you're making 719 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 24: it safer. 720 00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 3: That's nuts. 721 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 24: And so we've come in and said, exactly right, reverse 722 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 24: what they've done. And it's not to say that there 723 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 24: aren't bits of roads. 724 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 25: You know. 725 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 24: Take now the Napier Taupo Road for example, that's another 726 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 24: one that people get worked up about. There's bits of 727 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 24: that road where the speed limit should go down a 728 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 24: bit on some of the nasty corners and things like that. 729 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 24: But the default to go down to aiming it as 730 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 24: crazy as well. So it's the blanket approach that annoys people. 731 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 3: So we're reversing all of that. So, okay, fair enough. 732 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 3: So it's happening from tonight. What about the forty eight 733 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 3: roads were you're going to consult on? Why do you 734 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 3: need to consult with people? I thought you knew what 735 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 3: you were doing. 736 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 24: Yeah, So there's forty eight roads where there's there's mixed 737 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 24: community views about about the reductions, and they're also more complicated, 738 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 24: so there are some nasty sections of those roads. And 739 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 24: so that's precides the point I made before, where we're 740 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 24: going to consult on them. And it may be that 741 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 24: NCTA says the default will go back up to one hundred, 742 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 24: for example, but there'll be bits where we keep the 743 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 24: speed limit at a particular point. 744 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 3: So they'll take a bit of a horse labour says 745 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 3: if anyone dies on any of these roads from here 746 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 3: on out, the literally what they said is the blood 747 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,720 Speaker 3: is on your hands. 748 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 24: Yeah, well they've got to work out what They've got 749 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 24: to work out what their position is. Becausechris kip Can 750 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 24: started the twenty twenty three I don't know if you 751 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 24: remember this by saying he was going to do a 752 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 24: bonfire of all the dumb policies from just sinder Ardouna. 753 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 24: One of them was the speed limit thing. That's what 754 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 24: he said they would do. Then they didn't actually do it. 755 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 24: And then Karen mcinnaughty who was the local MP over 756 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 24: in the wire Rapper you know, said a few weeks ago, 757 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 24: I looked m ZTA in the eye and they told 758 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 24: me they couldn't raise the speed on it. 759 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 3: Well, I've just done what he's on about. There's no blood. 760 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 24: Well they've got to work out what their stances. All 761 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 24: three different Labour Party people have a different stance on 762 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 24: us as part of the course with those guys. 763 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for your time.

Yes, 768 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: it's a problem and it's something to do with the pipes. 769 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 3: It may take seventy two hours to fix this problem. 770 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 3: Health New Zealand says there are mitigative mitigations in place 771 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 3: to ensure the hospital's usual clinical care will continue, et cetera. 772 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 3: Malcolm Mulholland's Chair of Patient Voice Alt he's with me tonight, Malcolm, 773 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 3: good evening. Okay, Rian, what have you heard about this? 774 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 3: What's going on here? 775 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 26: Yeah? 776 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 27: So I heard that one of the water pipes burst 777 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 27: yesterday and that it could take up to seventy two 778 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 27: hours to rectify the situation. But Unfortunately, it's affecting Building 779 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 27: thirty two and those who are familiar with Auckland Hospital 780 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 27: would know that's the main building in New Zealand's biggest 781 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 27: hospital where most of not all patients are housed in 782 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 27: the wards and this is. 783 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 3: The maternity ward that's affected, right, so. 784 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 27: Well, yeah, amongst others, amongst others. So it's maternity wards. 785 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 27: It's most people who are receiving care in the wards 786 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 27: who are affected by this, whether it be cardiovascular or renal, 787 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,760 Speaker 27: you name it, they're affected. 788 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 3: Right, Is there a I mean, can can they shower 789 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 3: like your new mums have just had babies? Do you 790 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 3: know what's going on there? Or are there? Can they 791 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 3: go somewhere else? 792 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? 793 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 27: So they're going to have to be transported away from 794 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 27: the maternity ward to another part of Auckland Hospital in 795 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 27: order for them to have a shore. That's certainly not 796 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 27: ideal for mothers who have just given birth, keeping in 797 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 27: mind some would have hit suffered a traumatic birth and 798 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 27: so their bodies will be sore and transporting them around 799 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 27: certainly isn't the recommended stendard of care. As well as 800 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 27: that they've got on top of that, whether or not 801 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 27: they take their new born with them because some of 802 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 27: course will require. 803 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 3: Breastfeeling goodness, mate, thank you, Malcolm. Malcolm A holand patient 804 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 3: voice ALTA A chair on the main building at Auckland 805 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 3: Hospital with no running water. I mean it's not ideal, 806 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 3: is that when you don't have pipes that work in 807 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 3: our hospitals to get people hot water, to have a shower, 808 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 3: or presumably to sterilize equipment. I mean obviously Health New 809 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 3: Zealand test said I've got things under control. So I 810 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 3: guess you could have believe that, don't you until you 811 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 3: know otherwise? The doomsday clock. I'll tell you more about 812 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 3: that coming up in a second. Your texts on the 813 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 3: speed limits and the roads.

The three 847 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 3: rate payer funded exhibitions at Wellington's one hundred and eighty 848 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 3: million dollar Convention Center. Yes I did say that correctly. 849 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 3: Nearly two hundred million dollars for this thing have flopped. 850 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 3: The latest failed to break even. The Doctor Who Worlds 851 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 3: of Wonder ran from June to October, displaying props from 852 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 3: the show set. Wellington City cou Council documents show the 853 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 3: exhibit made a loss, but the council is refusing to 854 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 3: say how big the deficit was. It comes after a 855 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 3: Marvel and a Jurassic World exhibition earlier also failed to 856 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 3: break even or they missed their targets. Counselor Diane Colvit 857 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 3: is with me this evening, Diane, Hello, Hi Ryan. This 858 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 3: sounds like a bit of a sad story. 859 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 28: Really Yeah, Well, I mean I think it's sad also 860 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 28: because we're just trying to get information that should be 861 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 28: available publicly, or at least some of it. 862 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 29: I can understand some of the commercial sensitivities about perhaps 863 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 29: some of the visitor numbers, but repairs, you have a 864 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 29: right and to know how much does it cost them 865 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 29: against what was actually originally budgeted for, Because if we 866 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 29: don't deal with it openly, how can we look for 867 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 29: improvements and how can we action those improvements that I'm 868 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 29: sure you know we can do, because look, I went 869 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 29: to the Marvel one and I was bitterly disappointed. I 870 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 29: think it costs was about eighty five dollars ahead, and yeah, 871 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 29: it just it just was not value for money. 872 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 3: Okay, So you're saying the council has put some money 873 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 3: in at some stage to this doctor who thing to 874 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,800 Speaker 3: make it to get it here. 875 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 2: I believe so. 876 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 30: But again, you know, when we saw the news article 877 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 30: this morning, it obviously came to surprise to a number 878 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 30: of us, and so I know and others have gone 879 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 30: back asking for information and we're still trying to obtain that. 880 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was surprised to see that as well. I 881 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 3: mean saying it's commercially sensitive to say how many people went. 882 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 3: I mean, what implication would that have for a commercial operation, 883 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 3: especially one that's already been held. 884 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 31: Look, I can't answer that, But what I'd also be 885 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 31: asking is why why would we be agreeing to something 886 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 31: like that as well, especially when repairs funds, you know, 887 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 31: are a risk. 888 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 3: So who how are they able to do this unilaterally? 889 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 3: Do they not have to ask for your permission? Or 890 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 3: do you are you giving them too big a budget 891 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 3: that they're able to throw money at doctor? 892 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 26: Who? 893 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 28: Well you could you know, Look, I think we just 894 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 28: need to find out how how these things get approved. 895 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 28: I know there was there's generally a small committee that 896 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 28: will approve these exhibitions. And look, sometimes you do take 897 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 28: a bit of a risk, but when you you know, 898 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 28: if things don't turn out, you need to be open 899 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 28: about saying what could we have done differently, what could 900 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 28: we have done better? And if we've had three exhibitions 901 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 28: that have not delivered, we really need to say what 902 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 28: are we not doing right in these things? And we 903 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 28: really have we haven't had that conversation or even seen 904 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 28: the information. 905 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 3: Diane, Thanks for your time doing COVID the Wellington City 906 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 3: councilor on the Convention Center and Wellington doing not so well. 907 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 3: But more importantly the fact that the council thinks they 908 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 3: can just say commercial sensitivity like it's some magic wand 909 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 3: and you don't get to ask any questions about where 910 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 3: the money's going. That's not how it should be working. 911 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 3: Twenty one after five, when we come back the doomsday clock, 912 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 3: I'll give you my thoughts on that. 913 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,800 Speaker 2: Checking the point of the story. 914 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Bridge on Heather Duplicy Ellen Drive with one 915 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected and new stalks. 916 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 3: That'd be five twenty four. Good evening to you. You 917 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 3: will see this story today, if you haven't already, you'll 918 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 3: hear about it tonight. You'll see it on the news. 919 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 3: Atomic scientists have pushed the clock to eighty nine seconds 920 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 3: before midnight. This is the doomsday clock. This is the 921 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,399 Speaker 3: end of the world. And they are citing nuclear risk, 922 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 3: the threat of AI and the climate crisis as a warning. 923 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 3: And this is an example of when you start something 924 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 3: and you have to keep it going. That's what this 925 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 3: clock is. It was started back in nineteen forty seven 926 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 3: and Chicago after World War Two. It was during the 927 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,399 Speaker 3: Cold War, was to warn about the threat of nuclear war. 928 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 3: And the threat of nuclear war is by and large 929 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 3: contained specially compared to what it was like during the 930 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 3: Cold War. And so now they're coming up with everything 931 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 3: under the sun. It's a grab bag of threats that 932 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 3: you might face, you know, threat the possibility that a 933 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 3: palm tree might fall on you as you walk home 934 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 3: this evening, the possibility that AI might some AI robot 935 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 3: might kill you on your way home tonight. They are 936 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 3: clutching its straws. Anyway, they've moved it by a second, 937 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 3: so it's now eighty nine seconds before midnight. But I 938 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 3: come back to this point about nuclear the threat of 939 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:53,280 Speaker 3: nuclear war. Actually, the nuclear threat is not as relevant 940 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 3: today as it was during the Cold War. Yes, we 941 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 3: have nuclear weapons, but they are essentially doing their jobs. 942 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 3: They are deterring wars. You know, this idea of mutually 943 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 3: assured destruction means that nobody pushes the red button because 944 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 3: someone will push a red button back on you. So, 945 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 3: in a funny kind of a way, yes, we have 946 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 3: regional wars, we have proxy wars, but we don't have 947 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 3: world wars. And that is in large part because of 948 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 3: nuclear weapons. So in a roundabout kind of way, they 949 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 3: have sort of worked, which makes a mockery of the 950 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 3: doomsday clock, because they're destroying everything in there, everything and 951 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 3: anything they can in there to justify its existence. Twenty six, 952 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 3: after five lots of texts on the roads, Ryan, if 953 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 3: it's three minutes each way, This is from Steve. He's 954 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 3: done the maths on at the time saved from going 955 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 3: one hundred kilometers an hour versus eighty kilometers an hour 956 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 3: between Masterton and Featherstone. If it's three minutes each way 957 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 3: in time reduction, that's six minutes a day over five days. 958 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 3: That'll save you thirty minutes over a month. It'll save 959 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 3: you two hours of your life, which means over a 960 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 3: year it's twenty four hours of driving saved. Amazing. What 961 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:13,839 Speaker 3: three minutes does? Puts it in perspective, doesn't it? Someone 962 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 3: else saying Ryan, I find that everybody is tailgating me 963 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 3: now that these speed limits have come down, so I'm 964 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 3: glad they're going back up. That's from Ben twenty seven, 965 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,479 Speaker 3: after five on news talks, he'd be Tanya Tatsil after news. 966 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 2: After making the news, the news makers talk to Ryan first. 967 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Bridge on hither Duplicylan drive with one New 968 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 1: Zealand let's get connected. 969 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 2: News talks, he'd be on the just have been with 970 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 2: a woman. I love how much your right leg. 971 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 3: Biding it is twenty five minutes away from sex. After sex, 972 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 3: we're going to talk to Fonterra. It's a going for 973 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 3: electricity over gas for their big boilers in the North 974 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 3: Island and that's going to cost them one hundred and 975 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,760 Speaker 3: fifty million dollars. So this is not a cheap transition 976 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 3: for them to make. Are they making the right one 977 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 3: and doing it at the right time? We'll ask them 978 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:17,239 Speaker 3: after six they huddle in just a few moments. Right now, though, 979 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 3: a political war of words is erupted over a police 980 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 3: operation that targeted trolley theft in thirteen arrests, nineteen trespassed, 981 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 3: forty five trolleys returned. Police have confirmed that some of 982 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 3: those arrested were homeless, and this is the point of contention. 983 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 3: The Multi Party says it's a direct attack by the 984 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 3: government on impoverished people. That MP Tom McClay says police 985 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 3: aren't targeting anyone, They're just focusing on combating theft and 986 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 3: antisocial behavior. That otterd amha Is Tanya tapsil kiled a 987 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 3: good afternoon. Sure to Ryan, do you have a problem 988 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:52,239 Speaker 3: with police doing this? 989 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 26: Absolutely not. In fact, we are incredibly grateful for the 990 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 26: police action in this because honestly, we're a small chown, 991 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 26: so when these trolleys get left around, it looks really 992 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,399 Speaker 26: messy and we've tried a lot as counsel. By the way, 993 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 26: cost us five thousand dollars a month when we were 994 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 26: trying to fix it up. Our businesses have been fantastic. 995 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 26: They're trying their best to achieve trolleys within forty eight hours. 996 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 26: But end of the day, these homeless are stealing somebody 997 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,359 Speaker 26: else's property, using it in an appropriate way and then 998 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 26: just jumping them in places. It's been a mess. 999 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,919 Speaker 3: You don't just not arrest someone because they're homeless, right. 1000 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 26: Oh, absolutely, And actually, to be fair, the police alongside council, 1001 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 26: we've gone really hard on reducing homelessness. So you know, 1002 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 26: the council we've managed to reduce the motels way up 1003 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 26: to eighty percent, so we don't have as many homeless 1004 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,200 Speaker 26: as we used to, by the way, But actually when 1005 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,720 Speaker 26: we do come across homeless, they're given support, they're connected 1006 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,919 Speaker 26: to services that they need. Even we have City Safe 1007 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 26: Guardians that walk around and we've just sent them out 1008 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 26: with nurses as well, because you know, some of these 1009 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 26: homeless do need help and that help is there if 1010 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,840 Speaker 26: they want it, some choose not to take it. 1011 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 3: Why was it costing five thousand a month to pick 1012 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,360 Speaker 3: up the trolleys because there was a. 1013 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 26: Lot, so up to two hundred and sixty on an 1014 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 26: average month. But what the problem was is we were 1015 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,440 Speaker 26: having to employee start well direct, redirect stuff from the 1016 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 26: core business they should be doing, to actually take their trucks, 1017 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 26: pick up these trolleys, drop them off to the right 1018 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 26: supermarkets or you know, kmarts, and it was taking a 1019 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 26: lot of time. You add that up, that's five thousand 1020 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 26: dollars a month that we do not want to keep spending. 1021 00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 3: What do you think of to Percy Mardy who said 1022 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,919 Speaker 3: that this is an attack by the government. 1023 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 26: On poor people, absolutely ridiculous to be honest, and that's 1024 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 26: really unfair on this government who has prioritized reducing crime. 1025 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 26: And if you do the crime, then you should be 1026 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 26: caught and you should have some consequences. And I agree 1027 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 26: with that because in also we got sick of having 1028 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 26: these social issues that came from homelessness. We are very 1029 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 26: lucky to live in a country where there is support available, 1030 00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,840 Speaker 26: either financial or through emergency housing. You do not have 1031 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 26: to be homeless, but if you choose to steal other 1032 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 26: people's property act in intimidating ways. Now, I remember it 1033 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 26: did say in the articles it was made public that 1034 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,800 Speaker 26: some of these people being arrested already had other issues 1035 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 26: for arrests, such as trespass, violent offenses, you know, the 1036 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 26: breaching bail conditions. Some of these people are not helping us, 1037 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 26: but they're not helping themselves either. Will see decisions. 1038 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 3: Tanya taps todo a mere thanks for your time, just 1039 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 3: gone twenty two to. 1040 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:32,880 Speaker 1: Six The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty Elevate 1041 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 1: the marketing of your home on The Huddle tonight. 1042 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 3: Q and a host and host of Saturday Mornings on 1043 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 3: z B, Jack Taim Hey, Jack Kilder, right, good to 1044 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 3: have you on the show. Marris Williamston's here upland counselor 1045 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,919 Speaker 3: as well, Kilda Morris, Hi. 1046 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 8: Rion, Hi Jack. I shouldn't have said that hijack on 1047 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 8: a plane, Morris on a plane, correct, I. 1048 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,720 Speaker 3: Just got that right. Let's talk speeds on the roads. Maris, 1049 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,359 Speaker 3: you look like someone who wants to go fast. 1050 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 12: Well, I was Minister of Transport for some years and 1051 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 12: I argued against this that is Zalots always wanting to 1052 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,799 Speaker 12: go with blanket speed reductions. Look, there are some roads 1053 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 12: where you need low speeds, some of the back roads 1054 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 12: out of Auckland here where there's lots of curly twisty bends. 1055 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,120 Speaker 8: One hundred k's inappropriate. 1056 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 12: But the Zalots and I include the last Labor government, 1057 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 12: decided we'll have a blanket reduction of speeds right across 1058 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,799 Speaker 12: the board. Now, if you look at the Packer Hanger 1059 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 12: Highway here where were three lanes either way it was 1060 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 12: sixty k and they just put it down to fifty. 1061 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 12: Nobody does it, not even the vicar on his way 1062 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 12: to church. And it just created so much anger at 1063 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,120 Speaker 12: just copped an unbelievable and a flat for the stupid 1064 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 12: decisions of putting the speed limits down. 1065 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack, how do you feel about this? Because that 1066 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 3: I mean the left is saying and Labour's saying, this 1067 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 3: is going to mean that people die and then the 1068 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 3: government will have blood on their hands because they're the 1069 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 3: ones that made the change. Revest the blanket bank. 1070 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,080 Speaker 32: I think there's always a tension with speed limits, and 1071 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 32: it doesn't actually matter what the speed limit anywhere is. 1072 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,760 Speaker 32: I mean, if if you have unlimited speed limits everywhere, 1073 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,080 Speaker 32: you're going to have more deaths on the road, and inevitably, 1074 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 32: where speed limits are higher, you have greater risk of death. 1075 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 32: So I think you know you have to you have 1076 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,360 Speaker 32: to balance those concerns with productivity. And I think Morris 1077 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 32: is right in that a blanket approach to reducing speed 1078 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 32: limits doesn't work. 1079 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 8: Ideally. 1080 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 32: You want to go round with much more precision and say, actually, 1081 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 32: this is a well engineered road, this is a relatively 1082 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 32: safe area. We think that we can safely maintain a 1083 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,800 Speaker 32: speed limit at the current level without having a blanket 1084 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,320 Speaker 32: kind of approach. And you know, that's obviously where a 1085 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 32: lot of the pushbackers come. But you know, when you 1086 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,320 Speaker 32: go back and you reverse the speed limits, you know inevitably, 1087 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,400 Speaker 32: you know you do. You do risk the possibility that 1088 00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 32: there could be serious accents, there could be deaths, and 1089 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,359 Speaker 32: you know, and if in the future that comes to bear, 1090 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,359 Speaker 32: and we all hope it doesn't, you can be sure 1091 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,920 Speaker 32: that the opposition is going to come out and say 1092 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 32: this is because the decision your government's made. 1093 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,760 Speaker 8: But Brian, one of those was out of schools. 1094 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 12: They wanted to put a blanket down to thirty k 1095 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,799 Speaker 12: outside of schools full stop. Now, let me just give 1096 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 12: you a quick number here, the number of hours in 1097 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 12: a year where schools have got kids arriving and leaving. 1098 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 12: Given there's six weeks at Christmas they're not there, and 1099 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 12: there's three other lots of two week holidays, and there's 1100 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 12: Saturdays and Sundays they're not there, those hours come to 1101 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,320 Speaker 12: four percent of the year where kids are arriving and 1102 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 12: leaving school. Now, do you want to put a blanket 1103 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 12: down to thirty k for the entire year, or how 1104 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 12: about you have a differential speed zone just for the 1105 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 12: times when the kids are in danger. 1106 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to me why this 1107 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 3: was changed in the first place. But anyway, here we 1108 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 3: are they're doing. They're reversing that change, although they are 1109 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 3: consulting on a whole bunch more. 1110 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 8: Apparently for the rules you have to consult they're not 1111 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,239 Speaker 8: allowed to just make the change. 1112 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:50,240 Speaker 3: Okay, So where do these rules come from? Because Karen 1113 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,320 Speaker 3: McNulty was the Associate Minister of Transport and said that 1114 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 3: he couldn't get a speed changed on his local road, 1115 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,959 Speaker 3: you've got the Minister of Transport unable to change speed 1116 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 3: lim it's because he nd TA has too much power. 1117 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 3: Who gave nz TA power? And can't you just take 1118 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 3: it off them? 1119 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 12: Well you can, and that's what Simeon Brown did by 1120 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 12: changing the speed rule. The minister has to go out 1121 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 12: and consult and then finally table a rule about how 1122 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 12: new speed limits are set and so on, and that 1123 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,279 Speaker 12: you therefore, you can't just sit down and write an 1124 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 12: executive order with a big signature on it and on 1125 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 12: a black book like Trump does. But you've got to 1126 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 12: consult and so on. But he Simon Brown did that, 1127 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,240 Speaker 12: got a whole new set of speed limit rules settings 1128 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 12: in place, and as of the first of July, all 1129 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 12: these new speed limits have to be and I'm just 1130 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:37,360 Speaker 12: delighted about it. 1131 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack, the new press sect for the White House, Carolyn, 1132 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,360 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's leave it or leave it, 1133 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 3: but she left it all out there on the and 1134 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 3: the briefing today and she's I mean, I kind of 1135 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 3: like the style it's takeno prisoners. It's very direct, it's 1136 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,440 Speaker 3: the it's the antithesis of the last one. 1137 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 32: It's well, yeah, of Biden's one year, but maybe not. 1138 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:00,640 Speaker 8: I can't. 1139 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 32: I mean, Donald Trump went to a couple I think 1140 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 32: in his first in his first term. Remember Spicer, he 1141 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 32: was always was it Sean Spicer? He was, He was 1142 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 32: a character, and we went on to a distinguished career 1143 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 32: as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars in the US. 1144 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:14,080 Speaker 14: Yeah. 1145 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 32: I mean it's very it's very on brand for Trump 1146 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 32: right to have someone, you know, go up and stand 1147 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,960 Speaker 32: at the podium and decide to fight back. I mean, 1148 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 32: I have no problem with her age, although for some 1149 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 32: reason people seem to be moaning about that. I have 1150 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 32: no problem with that whatsoever. I do think it's curious 1151 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 32: that she's looking to open up accreditation for various other 1152 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,440 Speaker 32: people in the in the White House Press briefing room. 1153 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,680 Speaker 32: You know, I have no problem with maybe bloggers and 1154 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 32: you know, even even podcast hosts having having an opportunity 1155 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,520 Speaker 32: to apply for accreditation. I do think influencers might be 1156 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,560 Speaker 32: where I draw the line. So someone who does no 1157 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:54,200 Speaker 32: reporting whatsoever and just shills for companies through an Instagram channel, Yeah, 1158 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 32: that's probably not someone I would necessarily want. You know, 1159 00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 32: you'd hope that people could at least apply a little 1160 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 32: bit of scrutiny if they're in that position. But I 1161 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 32: suppose this is the Trump way. 1162 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 8: And that room is so dreadfully small. 1163 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 12: It doesn't look it on TV, but it's so incredibly 1164 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 12: it's really tiny. So when you get your CNNs and 1165 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 12: Fox and all of the mainstream media in the first 1166 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 12: few rows, there's no room for anybody else. If you 1167 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 12: think of how many bloggers there are in the United 1168 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 12: States and how many influences, that you could put it 1169 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,880 Speaker 12: in the Boody Grand Stadium. 1170 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 3: That all the scene in people are being fined, you see, 1171 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 3: so there'll be plenty of room. I would have thought 1172 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 3: the new media. 1173 00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 12: I just think what a contrast to the last one. 1174 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 12: We're Biden would not come out of his little room. 1175 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 12: He wouldn't take any questions from anybody unless he was 1176 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,200 Speaker 12: walking to the helicopter, and then he couldn't hear the 1177 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 12: question and you couldn't hear his answer. I mean, Trump's 1178 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,960 Speaker 12: done more press conferences since he's been elected than Biden 1179 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 12: did in the last year. 1180 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 3: Very true. Jack Taym Morris Williamson on the Huddle back 1181 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 3: in a second to. 1182 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 2: The Huddle with New Zealand. 1183 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,720 Speaker 1: Southerby's international realty, local and global exposure like. 1184 00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,800 Speaker 3: No other thirteen to six. So it's been a disappointing 1185 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:04,080 Speaker 3: start to the parliamentary year. I think anyway this year, 1186 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:08,160 Speaker 3: this week in Parliament we've had to Party Maldy call 1187 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 3: the Children's Minister Karen Shaw basically saying she's not Moldy enough, 1188 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 3: she has a Maldy fucker papa, she fuck up is Maldy. 1189 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 3: And today they said you don't know the essence of 1190 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 3: being Maldy. I mean, how can you say that to 1191 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 3: a Maldy woman. Anyway. Then we've also had from the 1192 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:30,600 Speaker 3: Greens accusations that Winston Peters has been xenophobic towards them. 1193 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 3: So we're all focused on the right issues. Marris Williamson 1194 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 3: on the panel with us and Jack Tame. Marris, I 1195 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 3: just shake my head, honestly, I know. 1196 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 12: I mean, it's just a tragedy that it isn't a 1197 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 12: debate on real issues and things that affects people's lives, 1198 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 12: changes their pocket their pocketbooks, thaty've got some more money. 1199 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 12: I think Karen Shew is a particularly good minister, and 1200 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,520 Speaker 12: I think with her background as having been awarded a 1201 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 12: state and so on, she's a perfect person to be 1202 00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 12: in that role. She knows it's sort of inside out. 1203 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 12: I've got a lot of respect for that Lady Jack. 1204 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 3: A lot of the media, a lot of the texts 1205 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 3: coming in is saying, oh, the media doesn't give the 1206 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 3: Party Mahdi the same hard time that they would give Winston, 1207 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 3: for example, over something he might have said. Do you 1208 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:15,200 Speaker 3: think there's truth in that? 1209 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 32: Well, speaking speaking personally here, No, and anyone who thinks 1210 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,440 Speaker 32: that is welcome to go on to the Q and 1211 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 32: a YouTube page. Look at my most recent interviews with 1212 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 32: to Party Mahdi. My several most recent interviews with To 1213 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 32: Party Mardi going back several years, in which case, every 1214 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 32: single time I've interviewed these party leaders, I've challenged them 1215 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 32: about some of the language they choose to use. You know, 1216 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 32: I think the language is really ugly. I think the 1217 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 32: language today suggesting that Karen Chaw doesn't understand the essence 1218 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,880 Speaker 32: of being Mahdi wasn't as insulting as some of the 1219 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 32: other really deeply personal things that To Party Mardi MP's 1220 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 32: have said to the minister. That doesn't make it okay. 1221 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 32: I'm not suggesting that it's okay for a moment, but 1222 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,480 Speaker 32: I think it's a very very deliberate tactic. It plays 1223 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:05,000 Speaker 32: very well with To Party Maori's supporters and actually sometimes 1224 01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,160 Speaker 32: I wonder if maybe a bit of response from from 1225 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 32: the you know, from those people who are most concerned 1226 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 32: about this language is actually not to give it the 1227 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 32: attention that it is so clearly designed to attract, because 1228 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 32: they know exactly what they're doing when they're using this 1229 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 32: kind of language. 1230 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 3: It's hard, though, isn't it, because then you've got you know, 1231 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 3: remember the Tyger White Tty campaign that said give nothing 1232 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 3: to racism, and you know, call it out every time, 1233 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 3: So it's like, well, what do you just ignore it 1234 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 3: every time? Somebody doesn't you know? 1235 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 32: Well, well, yeah, I mean, I just, I just I 1236 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 32: don't know what the answer is necessarily, But I do 1237 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:42,080 Speaker 32: think that to party Maori clearly like this is by 1238 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 32: design that the language that they choose to use from 1239 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,200 Speaker 32: time to time, whether you like it or not, it's 1240 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 32: it's very much by design. 1241 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 23: They know how to they know how. 1242 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 32: To get that, you know, get their party in the media. 1243 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,480 Speaker 32: They know issues in the media, well, they know they 1244 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,480 Speaker 32: know how to fire people up right, and you know, yeah, 1245 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,760 Speaker 32: I think it's perfectly legitimate from their perspective to be 1246 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 32: attacking Karen Chaor's policies. I think it's perfectly legitimate to 1247 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 32: be attacking Karen Chare as a minister, and indeed you 1248 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 32: wouldn't expect anything less from an opposition party. I do 1249 01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 32: think when it comes to decorum in that forum, we 1250 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 32: could actually expect pretty high higher standards of language around 1251 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 32: attacking people at a personal level. 1252 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 12: And yeah, yeah, well what I find on Brian, what 1253 01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 12: I find unacceptable about it is that they are setting 1254 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 12: themselves up as some sort of an arbiter and seeing, 1255 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 12: we'll determine whether you're mari enough or whether you fit 1256 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,120 Speaker 12: the mold. I mean, she's been attacked before, is not 1257 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 12: being mari enough and all sorts of things like that. 1258 01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 12: That is just disgusting. That is absolutely disgraceful. Go for 1259 01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,200 Speaker 12: the policies and say we don't accept your policy because 1260 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 12: it's causing this much harm, and will do so. I 1261 01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 12: think that's a legitimate role for an opposition to do. 1262 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 12: And while I was in Parliament I had heaps and 1263 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 12: heaps of attacks on policies that I put in place 1264 01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 12: and was fine with it. But once you get into 1265 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,000 Speaker 12: that personal stuff for no reason. I mean, Karen Turea, 1266 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 12: I think is a genuine decent lady who deserves a 1267 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,640 Speaker 12: bit of bit more respect than that sort of nonsense. 1268 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough to Marris Williamson Augland Council. I thank 1269 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 3: you for being on the huddle tonight. And Jack tame 1270 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 3: q and, a host and host of Saturday mornings here 1271 01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 3: on News Talk, said, B it is eight to six 1272 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 3: red or. 1273 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 1: Blue, Trump or Harris? Who will win the battleground states? 1274 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 1: The latest on the US election. It's HEAs a duplicy 1275 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 1: allan drive with one New Zealand. Let's get connected. 1276 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 2: News Talks ed B. 1277 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,680 Speaker 3: News Talk said B it is six to two six. 1278 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 3: After six we're going to talk, well, actually after six 1279 01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:40,920 Speaker 3: thirty we're going to talk to Andrew Curtain from Milford 1280 01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,240 Speaker 3: Asset Management. So that's just before the news at six 1281 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 3: thirty about the stocks and how they're bouncing back after 1282 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 3: the deep seat shock. Not bouncing back in an enthusiastic way, 1283 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 3: not like a big bounce, just a little tiny bounce. Yeah, 1284 01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 3: like you dropped the bouncy ball rather than you threw 1285 01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,360 Speaker 3: it with force at the ground. 1286 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,480 Speaker 33: We've got a producer, Laura to city that it might 1287 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 33: be a bit of what you'd call a dead cat bounce. 1288 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 3: A dead cat bounce, that's what I'm looking for. Thank you. Now, 1289 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 3: the hospital business where the hot water at Auckland Hospital 1290 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 3: in the main building that was potentially going to be 1291 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,360 Speaker 3: off for seventy two hours. They are hoping they can 1292 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,120 Speaker 3: avoid that, so they've sent us a statement. This is 1293 01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,760 Speaker 3: from Health New Zealand. There will be a full shutdown 1294 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 3: now of the water system and Building thirty two from 1295 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 3: six pm tonight. This is for all the cold and 1296 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,840 Speaker 3: hot water, so they're hoping. This is expected to last 1297 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,000 Speaker 3: for up to ten hours and will mean no tap 1298 01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,439 Speaker 3: water will be available throughout the Building thirty two until 1299 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:39,920 Speaker 3: we have the issue resolved. They've got some questions and answers, 1300 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 3: which I'm sure you have. Are there plans to move 1301 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 3: any patients out of Building thirty two to another building 1302 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 3: until the hot water is fixed? If not, will new 1303 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,440 Speaker 3: mums be transported from maternity services to other buildings for 1304 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,760 Speaker 3: a shower when they need one. No patients in Building 1305 01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 3: thirty two will not be moved. We have made plans 1306 01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 3: for new mothers to have access to a shower in 1307 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,760 Speaker 3: an unaffected part of hospital, So there you go. Other 1308 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 3: than the maternity services, the only other services are affected 1309 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 3: are approximately six hundred inpatient beds in that same building 1310 01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 3: and building thirty two. There you go. If you're there, 1311 01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 3: you'll probably already know about it. If you're not, they're 1312 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:20,120 Speaker 3: long and the short is there's no water for ten 1313 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 3: hours potentially tonight. I mean, look, you want to say, oh, 1314 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 3: the hospitals are underfunded and they're overrun, and you know, 1315 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,040 Speaker 3: somebody should have thought about the pipes. But at the 1316 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 3: same time, this happens, doesn't it. I mean, it's a 1317 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 3: big building, it's a commercial building. I'm sure it happens 1318 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,800 Speaker 3: to a lot of places. It just so happens that 1319 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 3: when it happens to a hospital, you know, you think 1320 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 3: the worst. A very good text here on the Nuclear Clock. 1321 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,000 Speaker 3: We are going to have an interview on then after 1322 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 3: six thirty as well with a scientist, just to talk 1323 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 3: about how significant it is, David says on the Nuclear Clock, Ryan, 1324 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 3: all well and good about the ongoing deterrent nature of 1325 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon, unless that is Donald Trump mistakes his 1326 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 3: nuclear button for his diet coke one, because they're apparently 1327 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,640 Speaker 3: the same color, and it's true he does have a 1328 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 3: diet coke button. Coming up after six, We've got news next, 1329 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:32,280 Speaker 3: and then Fonterra, What's Up, What's down? 1330 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,560 Speaker 2: One with a major cause and how will it affect 1331 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:36,200 Speaker 2: the economy. 1332 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,600 Speaker 1: The big business questions on the Business Hour with Ryan 1333 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 1: Bridge News Talks. 1334 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:42,000 Speaker 2: At b. 1335 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 3: Good evening. It is seven after six on News Talks. 1336 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,280 Speaker 3: Hed be coming up Janee Tips Trainee on the number 1337 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 3: of us who are switching banks as mortgage rates start 1338 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 3: to come down. Also, we are with Andrew Kurchaine Milford 1339 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 3: Asset Management on the tech stock dead cat bounce. Right 1340 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,880 Speaker 3: now though, Fonterra is set to invest one hundred and 1341 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,240 Speaker 3: fifty million dollars to convert its North Island gas boilers 1342 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 3: to electricity. It's a move that will lower its total 1343 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 3: gas use by almost forty Chris Caine is Fonterra's director 1344 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:17,040 Speaker 3: of Global Engineering and Technical Hey Chris kira alro on, 1345 01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 3: how are you going? Yeah, really good, thank you. So 1346 01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,400 Speaker 3: until now you've been converting your coal boilers. Why are 1347 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:22,800 Speaker 3: you now moving on to gas. 1348 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 13: Well, we've always had a plan to convert gas boilers 1349 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 13: at a point in time, but downstream security, they are 1350 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 13: rising costs of gas and carbon just makes us an 1351 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:35,480 Speaker 13: opportune time for it to. 1352 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,440 Speaker 3: Get on with that. So it's what one hundred and 1353 01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 3: fifty million dollars to do. 1354 01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 8: This is that right, that's correct. 1355 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,160 Speaker 13: There are the rights across three sites for Edgecomb and 1356 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 13: a small portion at our White Eye site. 1357 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:51,160 Speaker 3: Is this in relation to in reaction to the gass 1358 01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 3: you know, spot price hikes that we've seen in recent times. 1359 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,800 Speaker 13: Well, look, we've got long term gas contracts in place, 1360 01:07:57,800 --> 01:07:59,800 Speaker 13: so we're not so much affected by that. But you know, 1361 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,680 Speaker 13: as I mentioned, it's always no plan to get the 1362 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,919 Speaker 13: fossil fuels and the security of supplies probably top of mind, 1363 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 13: so it just made sense for us to bring that 1364 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 13: forward a little bit. 1365 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,440 Speaker 3: The fact the government's saying they're going to open up 1366 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 3: for oil and gas again, that doesn't change the situation 1367 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:15,960 Speaker 3: for you, I don't think so. 1368 01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:17,960 Speaker 13: There our primary focus is and making sure we've got 1369 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:22,719 Speaker 13: a reliable security energy source for our sites, very critical 1370 01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,080 Speaker 13: to make sure we can process our farment's milk. So 1371 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 13: they'll do what they have to do, but we'll have 1372 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,839 Speaker 13: to make the cause that is the best interests of Fonterra. 1373 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,559 Speaker 3: What'll it cost you to run electricity versus gas? 1374 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,240 Speaker 13: All wouldn't be able to share that with the offline. 1375 01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:43,160 Speaker 13: But look, in the long run, we see gases getting 1376 01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:47,000 Speaker 13: more expensive, we see carbon prices increasing, and we see 1377 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:51,240 Speaker 13: electricity as a reliable and economic, secure source of energy 1378 01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:51,799 Speaker 13: for the future. 1379 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:53,440 Speaker 3: Will it be more expensive? 1380 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,040 Speaker 13: Initially it might be a tad more expensive, but in 1381 01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,479 Speaker 13: the long run it'll be more economic, particularly aout of 1382 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 13: the gas price as are going in carbon taks. 1383 01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,560 Speaker 3: A lot of people say this is ironic. You know 1384 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,280 Speaker 3: your Fonterra it's dairy. The impact that has on you know, 1385 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 3: global warming versus a couple of boilers. 1386 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,720 Speaker 13: Well, maybe the case with an actual fact. You know, 1387 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 13: we're probably fifty percent of New Zealand's process heats, so 1388 01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 13: our scope one and two emissions are very large by 1389 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,200 Speaker 13: New Zealand context, and I think everything we do is 1390 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,840 Speaker 13: actually is great for the environment and great for our carbon. 1391 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,439 Speaker 3: Do you would all worry about the electricity sector more 1392 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 3: generally the fact that we are relying on electricity. We 1393 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:40,000 Speaker 3: have had problems with gas, and you know, we're largely renewable, 1394 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,639 Speaker 3: and then we have winters that don't do the things 1395 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 3: that we need it to do. We doesn't rain enough, whatever, 1396 01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,960 Speaker 3: we start to run into problems. Is that as legitimate 1397 01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:48,640 Speaker 3: concern for you? 1398 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:51,360 Speaker 13: Look, maybe in the short term, I think in the 1399 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,640 Speaker 13: long term in New Zealand is a wonderful country for 1400 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,600 Speaker 13: renewables generation. I don't think we have a problem with 1401 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,000 Speaker 13: I think the immediate and short and medium term problem. 1402 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,759 Speaker 13: Short term problem is transmission distribution. So now these projects 1403 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,840 Speaker 13: of PHACE can then around at the back end of 1404 01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,840 Speaker 13: twenty twenty six and then stage thirt firero probably towards 1405 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,600 Speaker 13: twenty seven twenty eight. So we're pretty confident now we 1406 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,560 Speaker 13: can get the transmission distribution up. We're very comfortable and 1407 01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 13: confident around the country's ability to supply renewable energy. So 1408 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,720 Speaker 13: I think in a long term that's the view we'll take, 1409 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,040 Speaker 13: and we're very comfortable with that. 1410 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 3: And all said and done, once you've done made these 1411 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 3: two major changes, how much of your operation will be 1412 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,640 Speaker 3: run by coal, how much by gas, how much by electricity? 1413 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:34,839 Speaker 13: Well it's a good question. You know, the South Island 1414 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 13: we're getting off coal very quickly, so we've got a 1415 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,040 Speaker 13: mixture of the coal and biomass, and it's framptly swhich 1416 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,880 Speaker 13: are into biomass electricity. North Island we're heavily leveraged on 1417 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,639 Speaker 13: gas because it's reticulated, so this is probably the first 1418 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:51,000 Speaker 13: moving off gas there. So you know, electricity becomes a 1419 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:52,880 Speaker 13: bigger portion I don't have the figures on the top 1420 01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,280 Speaker 13: of my head, but you know, give you some sints. Now, 1421 01:10:55,360 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 13: by twenty thirty will be fifty percent reduction emissions Scope 1422 01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 13: one and two, which means at only fifty to thirty 1423 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 13: fossil fills, and probably at the end of twenty seven 1424 01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,200 Speaker 13: I think will be about thirty three percent of the 1425 01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:07,840 Speaker 13: way There're so that gives you sort of an idea 1426 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,560 Speaker 13: of that sort of trajectory towards renewables. 1427 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 3: Okay, because you had hoped to be completely coal free 1428 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,439 Speaker 3: by twenty thirties, is that still going to happen? 1429 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 13: No, that's not correct. 1430 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:18,360 Speaker 8: Now. 1431 01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 13: Twenty thirty seven is a ceceasion date for coal, and 1432 01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,360 Speaker 13: that was always our targets about a coal by twenty 1433 01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,880 Speaker 13: thirty seven, and we are breaking the back of it 1434 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 13: at present and towards the end of the decade, but 1435 01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 13: it will still some time to be totally off coal. 1436 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 8: Are you? 1437 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 3: Are you but loose on that date? 1438 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 13: Well, twenty thirty seven is a firm date and we 1439 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,320 Speaker 13: have to be before that. But you know, we have 1440 01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,839 Speaker 13: to manage the workload, we have to manage a security 1441 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 13: of supply. So now I think we'll be before that date. 1442 01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,920 Speaker 13: But twenty thirty seven is a drop that date. 1443 01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,040 Speaker 3: Okay, what happens if you don't? You just have broken 1444 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,519 Speaker 3: a promise. There's no agreement, your sign it. 1445 01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,000 Speaker 13: Won't it won't be an option because you know, as 1446 01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,280 Speaker 13: I say, twenty thirty seven there's a secession date. We 1447 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,840 Speaker 13: won't have a conceit to burn coal after that, and 1448 01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 13: we have public commitments and we have you know, security 1449 01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,760 Speaker 13: the supply. So again I'm confident will be before twenty 1450 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 13: thirty seven. 1451 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 3: We have to be all right, Chris, thank you very 1452 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 3: much for that. That's Chris Kane, the director Global Engineering 1453 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,800 Speaker 3: and Technical at fon Terra. They are if you're just 1454 01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,240 Speaker 3: joining us, they're investing one hundred and fifty million dollars 1455 01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 3: to convert their North Island gas boilers to electricity. It's 1456 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,040 Speaker 3: twelve minutes after six. You're on News Talk CB.

It is seventeen after six. 1497 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 3: It seems the mortgage wars are on. People are increasingly 1498 01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:35,839 Speaker 3: shopping around for a better mortgage rate. Banks switching has surged. 1499 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:41,120 Speaker 3: In December, Training is The Herald's Wellington Business editor. Good evening, 1500 01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:44,599 Speaker 3: Hey Ryan, nice to have you on Janay. How much 1501 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:46,000 Speaker 3: is being moved around here? 1502 01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:47,120 Speaker 34: Well? 1503 01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,760 Speaker 5: In December, which is the month that we have the 1504 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:53,760 Speaker 5: latest dart available for two billion dollars of mortgage debt 1505 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:57,800 Speaker 5: changed hands between banks and non banks. So that is 1506 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,200 Speaker 5: actually a record amount since at least twenty seventeen when 1507 01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 5: the Reserve Bank started publishing the start. Now, if you 1508 01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:06,920 Speaker 5: look at that two billion dollars as a proportion of 1509 01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:11,360 Speaker 5: all the new mortgage mortgages written during the month, that 1510 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 5: makes up twenty five percent of that sum. So you know, 1511 01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:20,920 Speaker 5: in dollar terms and in percentage terms, that was really significant. 1512 01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,720 Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, for the month of December. Now, now 1513 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,479 Speaker 5: we had seen it in prior months similarly large sums 1514 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:32,559 Speaker 5: of money switch hands between banks and non banks. Now, 1515 01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,720 Speaker 5: the Reserve Bank data doesn't, you know, give you a 1516 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,760 Speaker 5: reason for exactly what was going through a borrowers' minds 1517 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,800 Speaker 5: and why they were doing it. But I talked to 1518 01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:44,639 Speaker 5: loan market mortgage advisor Bruce Patten earlier today and he said, basically, 1519 01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:48,040 Speaker 5: people were cha chasing lower interest rates. 1520 01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:49,400 Speaker 23: So you know, they were. 1521 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,920 Speaker 5: Happy to pay in some instances, happy to pay break 1522 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,320 Speaker 5: fees at their bank and give back any cash incentive 1523 01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,280 Speaker 5: that they received from the bank. They were happy to 1524 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,559 Speaker 5: do that to get a deal, better deal from from 1525 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 5: a different bank. 1526 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:04,720 Speaker 3: Right, And do we know where they're coming from and 1527 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,680 Speaker 3: where they're going to what does the data not get 1528 01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 3: that into that kind of detail. 1529 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, the data doesn't get into that kind of detail. 1530 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 5: Another factor I think with this is that it has 1531 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:19,160 Speaker 5: been easier for people to switch bank because people have 1532 01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:23,240 Speaker 5: been fixing their mortgages at really short terms, like six 1533 01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,240 Speaker 5: months or a year. A lot of people have also 1534 01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:30,719 Speaker 5: been putting their mortgages on floating rates. So actually, in November, 1535 01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 5: which is the month where the newest data for nearly 1536 01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:37,160 Speaker 5: half of new mortgage debt was floating. So you know, 1537 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 5: if a lot of your mortgage is floating on a 1538 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,000 Speaker 5: shorter term, a lot of it will expire. You know, 1539 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,040 Speaker 5: it's easier to get it all to mature at the 1540 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 5: same time, so you could shift the whole lot to 1541 01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,400 Speaker 5: a new bank, you know, because you can't shift part 1542 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:50,880 Speaker 5: of your mortgage for a new bank and keep part 1543 01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:51,720 Speaker 5: of it at the old bank. 1544 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:54,920 Speaker 3: So I think that unless you want to cut your 1545 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:55,959 Speaker 3: house up, of course. 1546 01:16:56,560 --> 01:17:00,120 Speaker 5: Exactly exactly, So you know, I think that that that 1547 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 5: has definitely made it easier for people to shift than 1548 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 5: if you were say, locked in for two years and 1549 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 5: you couldn't move because you had two years to go 1550 01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 5: or something like that. 1551 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:10,519 Speaker 3: That's interesting. So that might explain some of the big 1552 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 3: the big shift that's going on. Are the banks offering 1553 01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:14,640 Speaker 3: are they being competitive? 1554 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,439 Speaker 5: Well, you know, that's that's the big question at the moment. 1555 01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:23,760 Speaker 5: Bruce Patton thinks it's not not not too competitive with 1556 01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,240 Speaker 5: those rates. You know, banks are maintaining their profit margins, 1557 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,799 Speaker 5: so they're cutting as much as they can, but their 1558 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,800 Speaker 5: shareholders are certainly happy, you know, those bank profits have 1559 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:38,439 Speaker 5: remained elevated. I had wondered as well whether perhaps people, 1560 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,519 Speaker 5: you know, because there's been so much chat about bank 1561 01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,840 Speaker 5: competition and so on, I had wondered whether people who 1562 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 5: had gone to the mortgage brokers and said, oh, there's 1563 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 5: all this you know, chat on social media and in 1564 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,519 Speaker 5: the news about bank competition, can you get me a 1565 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 5: better deal? But again, it's hard to sort of get 1566 01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 5: sort of firm data on that. But but Bruce said, 1567 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 5: you know, people are all over social media on this stuff. 1568 01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:01,800 Speaker 5: So they're in chat groups and they're on Facebook, and 1569 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,560 Speaker 5: they're all chatting about where the best deals are. You know, 1570 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:07,880 Speaker 5: that does prompt a bit more engagement than there would 1571 01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 5: have been, you know, back in the day before you 1572 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:14,000 Speaker 5: could talk about your mortgage rate with your mates online 1573 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 5: or with strangers Gammy. 1574 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,320 Speaker 3: Cases exactly today. Thank you for that fascinating stuff. Jena Trainey, 1575 01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:22,960 Speaker 3: New Zealand here Wellington Business Editor with us talking about 1576 01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,680 Speaker 3: the switcheroo that's going on as people try and get 1577 01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:28,160 Speaker 3: better deals, and so they should and it is good 1578 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 3: that people talk about it, you know, in the workplace, 1579 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,719 Speaker 3: when they say, don't tell your colleague what you get paid, 1580 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:38,519 Speaker 3: because then you'll all start a revolution. It's not that 1581 01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,040 Speaker 3: rule does not apply outside of the workplace. When it 1582 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:43,240 Speaker 3: comes to your mortgage. You should tell people what your 1583 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,479 Speaker 3: rate is, and you should tell your friends, and you 1584 01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,200 Speaker 3: should join these websites and there's groups now where you 1585 01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:52,280 Speaker 3: can go on and tell people your branch, your bank, 1586 01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,240 Speaker 3: and what your mortgage interest rate is. And then the 1587 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,360 Speaker 3: people who live in your neighborhood can go, well, excuse me, Barry, 1588 01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:02,240 Speaker 3: I happen to know that you've given this person this rate, 1589 01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,160 Speaker 3: and therefore you should give me the same rate. Twenty 1590 01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:05,920 Speaker 3: one after six. 1591 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,600 Speaker 2: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1592 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 1: Give a business hour with Ryan Bridge on Newstalks B 1593 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:15,720 Speaker 1: six twenty four. 1594 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,759 Speaker 3: Let's got Andrew Curtain Milford Asset Management. Andrew good Evening, 1595 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,880 Speaker 3: Hi right, how are you. Yeah, really well, thanks, good 1596 01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 3: to have you on the show. Techtoks the kind of 1597 01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 3: coloring back at half their losses today. 1598 01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:28,880 Speaker 30: Yeah, that's right. 1599 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,520 Speaker 23: We had a one point five percent rally in the Nasdaq, 1600 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 23: which is against the three percent full yesterday. What's what's 1601 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 23: good of going on today is people starting to learn 1602 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 23: a little bit more about this Chinese company, Deep Seek, 1603 01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 23: which is an AIA model company and came up yesterday 1604 01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:48,160 Speaker 23: announced and it had models almost as good as Chat GPT, 1605 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 23: sort of the leading model player. But people now started 1606 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:54,680 Speaker 23: to learn that, you know, maybe this is actually good 1607 01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 23: for the AI industry. Maybe this is good for the 1608 01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 23: overall market because if you've got sort of fast improvements 1609 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,160 Speaker 23: in AI model efficiencies, that means everyone's going to be 1610 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:09,000 Speaker 23: able to access generative AI earlier and at a lower 1611 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,800 Speaker 23: cost points. So really the market's starting to consider is 1612 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 23: this a positive thing? 1613 01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:16,720 Speaker 3: Who's most affected by that? And I'm talking negative here, 1614 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 3: who's most affected by this or the tech firms? 1615 01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,120 Speaker 23: Yeah, we think the big loser is the unlisted company 1616 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,919 Speaker 23: Open Ai. This is a company that owns Chat GBT. 1617 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 23: It's sort of considered the model or the AI model 1618 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,519 Speaker 23: leader at the moment in the world, and deep Seek 1619 01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 23: is now showing that with you know, actually a lot 1620 01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,599 Speaker 23: lot lower cost people talking about between ten to twenty 1621 01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,000 Speaker 23: times lower cost. Is built a model which is which 1622 01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:43,000 Speaker 23: is almost as good or. 1623 01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:44,240 Speaker 2: As good as chat GPT. 1624 01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,400 Speaker 23: So they're sitting their loser, they'll be they'll be panicking 1625 01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 23: at the moment and trying to sort of work out 1626 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 23: what to do the next Probably the next biggest loser 1627 01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 23: or the company that say has got a higher risk 1628 01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 23: level now is Nividia. So Nividia benefits from selling a 1629 01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 23: lot of high performance chips to companies like open Ai. Now, 1630 01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,480 Speaker 23: if you've just made models more efficient, you don't necessarily 1631 01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 23: need as many of these chips. So Nividia is, let's say, 1632 01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:11,320 Speaker 23: the risk that people might not be buying as many 1633 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,720 Speaker 23: of these chips from Nibdia has gone higher. We'll get 1634 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,960 Speaker 23: a bit more color from this and when we have 1635 01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,120 Speaker 23: Microsoft and Meta Results reporting tomorrow morning, and they should 1636 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,599 Speaker 23: talk a little bit about sort of outlook for Capex, 1637 01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:23,720 Speaker 23: which basically means how many chips are they going to 1638 01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:24,599 Speaker 23: buy from Niberdya. 1639 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,280 Speaker 3: It's interesting because what Donald Trump's reaction has been is like, well, 1640 01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,160 Speaker 3: this is great for competition. We should have been on 1641 01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,040 Speaker 3: the ball with this. China's actually doing something right here, 1642 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:36,760 Speaker 3: and I guess they'll now be looking at Deep Seat 1643 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,559 Speaker 3: as they did with TikTok for national security concerns. 1644 01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:41,280 Speaker 8: That's right. 1645 01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:44,160 Speaker 23: There's actually anouncement overnight from the White House who came 1646 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,439 Speaker 23: out and said that the National Security Council is reviewing 1647 01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,920 Speaker 23: the implications of deep Seek. And they've also said, and 1648 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 23: Trump's been saying this the last couple of days, that 1649 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,759 Speaker 23: it's a wake up call to the American AI industry. 1650 01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:01,639 Speaker 23: So put this in context, Trump is really pro American 1651 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:06,360 Speaker 23: AI leadership. He wants America to dominate the AI industry, 1652 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:09,000 Speaker 23: so he's going to do everything he can to make 1653 01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:10,759 Speaker 23: sure America maintains this leadership. 1654 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:15,599 Speaker 3: And here at home, the only real big mover was Infantil. 1655 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 23: The inverto was down four percent yesterday, down I think 1656 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 23: another one and a half percent or so today. The 1657 01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 23: reason for that is Invitel's largest investment is a data 1658 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 23: center company called CDC. So yeah, same sort of theory 1659 01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:33,080 Speaker 23: with Navidia having high levels of risk that maybe there's 1660 01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,439 Speaker 23: going to be less growth in data centers over coming years. 1661 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:38,519 Speaker 23: But you know, it's hard to tell us early stages. 1662 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,320 Speaker 8: CDC is sort of the very. 1663 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,360 Speaker 23: Good business and who's doing well, so the market's kind 1664 01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 23: of racked in first and probably digestive information. 1665 01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 3: Good on it. Great to have you on the show, 1666 01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,960 Speaker 3: Andrew Andrew Curtaine, Milford Asset Management, twenty eight minutes after 1667 01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:55,439 Speaker 3: six coming up after the news that doomsday cop Do 1668 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,360 Speaker 3: we bother listening? Are we counting? Are we checking down 1669 01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,280 Speaker 3: and worrying and stressing it about this or do we just. 1670 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 2: Ignore the clock, encroaching the numbers and getting the results. 1671 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:14,400 Speaker 2: It's Ryan Bridge with the Business Hour on News Talks NB. 1672 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:23,880 Speaker 3: Feeling down make you even twenty four away from seven 1673 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,000 Speaker 3: News TALKSB. Earlier we were talking about the lithium iron 1674 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 3: batteries and the numbers are quite interesting. So the number 1675 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:35,040 Speaker 3: of fires that they think they suspected being ignited had 1676 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,640 Speaker 3: been lit by lithium ion batteries In twenty twenty there 1677 01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:41,559 Speaker 3: were fifty one. Last year in twenty twenty four there 1678 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 3: were one hundred and four, so it's doubled over four years. 1679 01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,800 Speaker 3: Not insignificant, especially when the back of rubbish trucks are 1680 01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,599 Speaker 3: exploding and bursting into flames. It's not a great thing, 1681 01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:55,280 Speaker 3: is it. Interestingly. So it's vapes, it's eat scooters, it's 1682 01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 3: mobile phones that have got these lithium ion batteries in them. 1683 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 3: There are at Auckland Council the waste disposal people say 1684 01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:07,360 Speaker 3: that in December alone, this is just Auckland, they had 1685 01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:15,000 Speaker 3: six hundred laptops in the putting the bins. What I mean, 1686 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,200 Speaker 3: that is one item I have to say. I mean, 1687 01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,519 Speaker 3: obviously you should do everything properly, but that is one item. 1688 01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 3: I would definitely go and find a digital place to 1689 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,479 Speaker 3: dispose of it. You know, it's quite a large piece 1690 01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 3: of equipment too, but six hundred of them in one month, honestly, 1691 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 3: I mean, how often are people getting laptops new laptops? 1692 01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 3: Obviously every year, get rid of that one at Christmas 1693 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:39,840 Speaker 3: Boxing Day sales and then you've got a brand new 1694 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 3: one for January? Is that how it works? Twenty three 1695 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:47,360 Speaker 3: to seven, the doomsday clock has inched ever closer to 1696 01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:50,599 Speaker 3: midnight than ever before, and the atomic scientists that set 1697 01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 3: the clock have set it now at eighty nine seconds 1698 01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:58,839 Speaker 3: to midnight. Symbolic it shows us how close that humanity 1699 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,240 Speaker 3: has come to the end the world. Jack Khnemann is 1700 01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,360 Speaker 3: a professor of genetics at the University of Cantaburani's with 1701 01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:06,400 Speaker 3: me tonight, Hijack. 1702 01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:08,519 Speaker 25: Hello, it's good to be here. 1703 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,160 Speaker 3: Do I take this seriously? 1704 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:12,960 Speaker 2: Well? 1705 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,800 Speaker 25: I think you should. I mean, the atomic scientists have 1706 01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:19,839 Speaker 25: been publishing on the Clock for since the late nineteen forties, 1707 01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:25,240 Speaker 25: and while we're still here, they have given us an 1708 01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 25: indication of the kind of stresses on our planet and 1709 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,640 Speaker 25: on our society that are leading us ever closer to 1710 01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 25: our own destruction. 1711 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:35,760 Speaker 3: Don't they. I mean, because it's been around since the 1712 01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,800 Speaker 3: nineteen forties, don't they have to move it every year 1713 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 3: just to justify being the. 1714 01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,479 Speaker 25: Yeah, so that they can earn a living Yeah. No, 1715 01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,960 Speaker 25: it hasn't always moved closer to midnight. There have been 1716 01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,880 Speaker 25: times when it's moved further away from midnight. There have 1717 01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:56,479 Speaker 25: been good news stories like the fall of the Soviet 1718 01:25:56,600 --> 01:26:01,639 Speaker 25: Union moved the clock backwards. It reduced tensions for nuclear warfare. 1719 01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,720 Speaker 25: So it doesn't always go in one direction, which you 1720 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,759 Speaker 25: might expect if they were trying to raise subscription rates. 1721 01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,240 Speaker 2: Why why is it? 1722 01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,559 Speaker 3: Why is it bumped to eighty nine then from ninety 1723 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:17,360 Speaker 3: last year? I mean's what's so precarious about the world 1724 01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,360 Speaker 3: right now? That you know, didn't. I mean, we had 1725 01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:23,280 Speaker 3: the war with the Ukraine, we had Russia's aggression, we 1726 01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,479 Speaker 3: had the Gaza War going on the Middle East. If anything, 1727 01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,559 Speaker 3: what's happened in the Middle East in the last little while, 1728 01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 3: particularly with Iran's weakness, you could argue you might have 1729 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:35,360 Speaker 3: put that to bed a little bit more. 1730 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:39,920 Speaker 25: It's it's a very difficult, difficult equation, and it's not 1731 01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:42,680 Speaker 25: just one or two events that they factor in. 1732 01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 2: It's across the board. 1733 01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:49,400 Speaker 25: So yes, it's it's only one second change, But in 1734 01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,920 Speaker 25: part it tells us that things haven't improved. Nothing has 1735 01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:57,240 Speaker 25: gotten better in Ukraine, and really nothing is a lot 1736 01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:01,640 Speaker 25: better in Gaza. At the same time, in both of 1737 01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 25: those theaters of conflict, there have been discussions about introducing 1738 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 25: weapons of mass discussion destruction, such as nuclear weapons. That 1739 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 25: has increased tensions in many different parts of the world. 1740 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,880 Speaker 25: On top of that, we're still looking at really no 1741 01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:26,080 Speaker 25: substantial progress on controlling carbon and climate change, so we 1742 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:32,840 Speaker 25: continue to put pressure on societies and infrastructure the environment 1743 01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,080 Speaker 25: in ways that get us to a tipping point. But 1744 01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:40,559 Speaker 25: I think what they've drawn particular attention to this year 1745 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 25: is the uncontrolled possibility of further disruption to our biological ecosystems, 1746 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:53,280 Speaker 25: not just through the spontaneous occurrence of a new kind 1747 01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:57,680 Speaker 25: of pathogen that's still a possibility, but also because we 1748 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:03,760 Speaker 25: are developing very rapidly our use of gene technologies and 1749 01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 25: creating ever more opportunity for both accidental and nefarious use 1750 01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:15,280 Speaker 25: of life in either warfare or release into the environment 1751 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 25: through I suppose good intentions that go bad. 1752 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,360 Speaker 3: So we got like something in a lab some lab, 1753 01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:26,040 Speaker 3: and I don't know, China or maybe America, whatever, something 1754 01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:28,640 Speaker 3: leaks and we all get wiped out. They're taking that 1755 01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:29,559 Speaker 3: into account here too. 1756 01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,680 Speaker 25: That's one scenario. The other scenario is that, just like 1757 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:37,720 Speaker 25: New Zealand is discussing right now, we deregulate the use 1758 01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:41,400 Speaker 25: of gene technologies so that they can be used outside 1759 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:45,400 Speaker 25: of the lab by more people, fewer people trained, and 1760 01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:50,160 Speaker 25: more organisms exposed to the gene technology, leading to ever 1761 01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:55,839 Speaker 25: more complicated mixtures of organisms that might already be released 1762 01:28:56,280 --> 01:29:00,160 Speaker 25: rather than in a laboratory and then escape to. 1763 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,400 Speaker 3: The grab bag of horrible things that could happen to 1764 01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 3: planet Earth. What what happens at when the clock hits midnight? 1765 01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:12,680 Speaker 25: Oh yeah, I suppose we won't be here if it 1766 01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:15,759 Speaker 25: actually hits midnight, that's just something you won't know about 1767 01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:21,360 Speaker 25: the You know, the clock can cause people to disengage 1768 01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 25: and to be depressed about circumstances. But I would hope 1769 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,040 Speaker 25: people would look at it another way. It's also telling 1770 01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:33,720 Speaker 25: us that we have a pathway back. We have we 1771 01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:37,160 Speaker 25: have clear indicators of where we should put our priorities 1772 01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:41,280 Speaker 25: to help heal the earth and make it make the 1773 01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:45,800 Speaker 25: earth again a much more welcoming place to sustain human life. 1774 01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:51,120 Speaker 3: Tick tick Jack tick yep, thanks so much having with me. 1775 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,360 Speaker 3: That is Jack Heyneman. He's a professor of genetics at 1776 01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:58,040 Speaker 3: the University of Canterbury. Talking about the doomsday clock eighteen 1777 01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:00,240 Speaker 3: minutes away from seven, A lot of people saying, why 1778 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:02,720 Speaker 3: do they have the climate change? Why do they throw 1779 01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:04,680 Speaker 3: climate change in there? This is what I mean. I 1780 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:07,439 Speaker 3: think they just they've added to it over time, haven't they. 1781 01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:12,519 Speaker 3: It's it's more from just a nuclear weapon, warning clock, 1782 01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:16,640 Speaker 3: warning sign barometer. It's become in everything. It's become an 1783 01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 3: end of the world. Oh well, I guess it's become 1784 01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:22,680 Speaker 3: the doomsday clock, hasn't it. And there are many reasons 1785 01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:26,040 Speaker 3: that the world might be doomed. That's what we've learned. 1786 01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:29,000 Speaker 3: Seventeen minutes away from seven. We've got our UK correspondent 1787 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:30,200 Speaker 3: coming up for Top of the R two. 1788 01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:34,720 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro, micro orgos, play economics, it's all on 1789 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 1: the Business Hour with Ryan Bridge on us Dogs ev. 1790 01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:41,519 Speaker 3: Just go one quarter to seven. We just spoke to 1791 01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:45,280 Speaker 3: a genetic professor of genetics at the University of Canty 1792 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,880 Speaker 3: about the doomsday clock, which predicts the end of the world, 1793 01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:50,599 Speaker 3: High Ryan, isn't the clock cumulative i e. The Cuban 1794 01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:55,479 Speaker 3: missile crisis? The clock jumps forward heaps obviously, but then 1795 01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:59,439 Speaker 3: once it's averted, does it jump back heaps? Yes, it does, Ryan, 1796 01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,560 Speaker 3: I'm an ee near. How of this person talking was 1797 01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:04,200 Speaker 3: just a lot of ball a lot of ifs. Is 1798 01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:09,720 Speaker 3: there a concrete, verified research behind this, asks Harry. I 1799 01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:12,519 Speaker 3: mean yes, they are all experts in their fields, but 1800 01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:14,559 Speaker 3: I mean it is a lot of guesswork. And also, 1801 01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:18,040 Speaker 3: how do you compute all of that vast and disparate 1802 01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:23,840 Speaker 3: information about nuclear war and climate change and AI and 1803 01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 3: put it into a clock. I mean, this just sounds 1804 01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,599 Speaker 3: a bit absurd, doesn't it. It's just gone fourteen away 1805 01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:32,320 Speaker 3: from seven now, and we're going to the UK Gale 1806 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:36,200 Speaker 3: downies with us Hi Gail, Hi, Ryan, lovely to have 1807 01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:38,679 Speaker 3: you on the show. Tell us about the It sounds 1808 01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:41,120 Speaker 3: a bit like our government yours is fighting for growth. 1809 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,960 Speaker 34: That's exactly right. And the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves has been 1810 01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:49,800 Speaker 34: talking about a major announcement for a week now and 1811 01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:53,280 Speaker 34: today is the day she's going to make that major announcement, 1812 01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:57,160 Speaker 34: which is expected to include the government giving it support 1813 01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:00,200 Speaker 34: for a third runway. He Throw Airport to get with 1814 01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 34: expansion plans at Gatwick and Luton, so the government can't 1815 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,639 Speaker 34: prejudge the results of any planning application, but the boss 1816 01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:10,759 Speaker 34: of Heathrow has said the airport needed a clear steer 1817 01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:13,200 Speaker 34: from the government by the end of this year. He's 1818 01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:15,960 Speaker 34: argued the expansion is needed to keep up with rival 1819 01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,599 Speaker 34: airports in Europe which have fewer passengers and more runways. 1820 01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:23,680 Speaker 34: Are given examples. So Heathrow had eighty million passengers in 1821 01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:27,519 Speaker 34: twenty twenty three and has two runways. Meanwhile, Skipple Airport 1822 01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:31,800 Speaker 34: at Amsterdam has six runways, dealing with around sixty million 1823 01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:36,280 Speaker 34: passengers a year. However, any plans for expansion third runway 1824 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 34: have been opposed in the past and probably in the 1825 01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:43,080 Speaker 34: future by environmentalists and residents living near the airport, and 1826 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:48,040 Speaker 34: even some labor MPs. The Tories say, Rachel reeves plans 1827 01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:49,880 Speaker 34: have been hastily cobbled together. 1828 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,240 Speaker 3: Goodness, mate, let's talk about these numbers you've got for 1829 01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:56,719 Speaker 3: us a healthy food, a basket of healthy food versus 1830 01:32:56,920 --> 01:32:59,679 Speaker 3: a basket of not so healthy food. What's the difference. 1831 01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:06,120 Speaker 34: The difference is that a basket of healthy food, so 1832 01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:10,639 Speaker 34: it would cost around sixteen dollars for basically a thousand 1833 01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:14,400 Speaker 34: calories of healthy food, is twice as much as that 1834 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 34: of eight dollars for the equivalent of less healthy food 1835 01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:21,640 Speaker 34: such as ready meals and process mates. And it's analysis 1836 01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:25,080 Speaker 34: that has been done by the UK charity, the Food Foundation, 1837 01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,280 Speaker 34: which is worrying them because it says low income families 1838 01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:32,760 Speaker 34: simply can't afford to eat healthily. So how it calculated 1839 01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:34,920 Speaker 34: it is it took the average price of four hundred 1840 01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:37,840 Speaker 34: and fifty food items that are used by the Office 1841 01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:42,240 Speaker 34: of National Statistics to calculate monthly inflation. It then graded 1842 01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:46,839 Speaker 34: the foods on their nutritional value. And that the concern, 1843 01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:49,360 Speaker 34: of course, as I mentioned, is the fact that so 1844 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:53,080 Speaker 34: many households, it's estimated eight million households in the UK 1845 01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:57,200 Speaker 34: are dealing with food insecurities and have cut back on 1846 01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:58,800 Speaker 34: healthy food because of that. 1847 01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:03,760 Speaker 3: Interesting basically double, isn't it. The bear stuff costs you double? 1848 01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:07,840 Speaker 3: Speaking of expensive for you is a brut and for 1849 01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:11,040 Speaker 3: me as a key we we in basically anyone who's 1850 01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:13,720 Speaker 3: outside of the EU, we're going to have to pay 1851 01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:15,400 Speaker 3: more to see the Mona Lisa. 1852 01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:19,719 Speaker 34: Yes, it's part of a major refurbishment of the Louver 1853 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,880 Speaker 34: where the Mona Lisa is house. And it was the 1854 01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:27,160 Speaker 34: French President Emmanuel Macron who talked about the expansion plans yesterday. 1855 01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:31,160 Speaker 34: In fact, he's running an international competition to find out 1856 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:36,760 Speaker 34: find an architect or planner whoever to design the refurbishment, 1857 01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:41,120 Speaker 34: and he says that he's taking the Mona Lisa from 1858 01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,800 Speaker 34: its current position in the Louver, going to put it 1859 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:49,240 Speaker 34: into a separate exhibition space alongside that, as you say, 1860 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,680 Speaker 34: non EU residents like yourself and myself are going to 1861 01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:56,760 Speaker 34: be charged more. He hasn't explained why we're going to 1862 01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:59,000 Speaker 34: be charged more, but he just said we will be 1863 01:34:59,120 --> 01:34:59,599 Speaker 34: charged more. 1864 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:03,439 Speaker 3: I suppose someone's got to pay for it, don't they. 1865 01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:05,360 Speaker 3: And it looks like it's our scale. 1866 01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:05,760 Speaker 8: Thank you. 1867 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:06,760 Speaker 15: It is. 1868 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:10,120 Speaker 3: That scale down. You have a great day at UK 1869 01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:12,720 Speaker 3: Correspondent with us. Just go on ten to seven on 1870 01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,720 Speaker 3: News TALKSB. Big fuss has been made, by the way 1871 01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:19,120 Speaker 3: about what Jason Walls told us about earlier in the show. 1872 01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:25,840 Speaker 3: This is Shane Jones shouting send the Mexicans home while 1873 01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:30,479 Speaker 3: the Green MP's were speaking a Ricardo Mininda's march is 1874 01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:35,240 Speaker 3: obviously from Mexico. You can't say that well, I mean 1875 01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:38,160 Speaker 3: you can't say that it's the free world. I don't 1876 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,160 Speaker 3: think you should say something like that. It's not a 1877 01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,720 Speaker 3: particularly constructive way to be debating in Parliament as it 1878 01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:45,919 Speaker 3: is ten to seven. 1879 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:49,360 Speaker 2: Whether it's macro microbe or just playing economics. 1880 01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:52,920 Speaker 1: It's all on the business hours with Hinther Dupleicy Ellen 1881 01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:57,519 Speaker 1: and Mas Insurance and Invests, Crew, Your Wealth, Protect your Future, 1882 01:35:57,760 --> 01:35:58,559 Speaker 1: News Talks NB. 1883 01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:02,200 Speaker 3: We've been talking a lot this afternoon, this evening at 1884 01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,559 Speaker 3: seven Away from seven about lithium and the lithium ion batteries. 1885 01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:08,800 Speaker 3: I was quite interested to read so half of all 1886 01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:11,559 Speaker 3: lithium produced in the world comes from Australia. Then you've 1887 01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:14,800 Speaker 3: got countries like China and Chili who produce the rest 1888 01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,000 Speaker 3: of it, along with a bunch of other countries, but 1889 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 3: Australia is by and large the main one, more than 1890 01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:22,599 Speaker 3: fifty percent of output. I was interested to read today 1891 01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:27,880 Speaker 3: that every ton of lithium that's extracted from mining, you 1892 01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:32,560 Speaker 3: generate fifteen thousand tons of carbon dioxide. So although it 1893 01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:35,479 Speaker 3: is going you know, the lithium is going into batteries 1894 01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:38,160 Speaker 3: which are going into evs, which is obviously good for 1895 01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:43,560 Speaker 3: fossil fuel emissions, etc. You are still creating carbon dioxide 1896 01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:46,160 Speaker 3: by extracting it from the earth. And you can do 1897 01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:48,160 Speaker 3: it in two ways. You can do it through hard 1898 01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:50,519 Speaker 3: rock like your traditional mining as we would know and 1899 01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:52,760 Speaker 3: see it, or you can do it what they call 1900 01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:57,280 Speaker 3: through extracting through brine, which it says here is an 1901 01:36:57,360 --> 01:37:00,760 Speaker 3: extremely salty liquid sits underground. The is pumped up to 1902 01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:02,920 Speaker 3: the surface into big ponds, left for a couple of 1903 01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:06,240 Speaker 3: years for the water to evaporate, leaving behind lithium salts. 1904 01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:10,719 Speaker 3: That uses two million liters of water for every ton 1905 01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,720 Speaker 3: of lithium produced. So there you go. I mean, I 1906 01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:16,120 Speaker 3: guess that nothing is going to be good, is it. 1907 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:18,759 Speaker 3: If you want to if you want to produce something, 1908 01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:22,680 Speaker 3: if you want electricity, if you want power, if you 1909 01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:26,400 Speaker 3: want innovation, if you want advancement, then it's going to 1910 01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:28,280 Speaker 3: cost you something. It's going to come at the cost 1911 01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:31,479 Speaker 3: of something. Nothing is free. Thank you so much for 1912 01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:33,160 Speaker 3: all of your texts today. A couple more on the 1913 01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:36,800 Speaker 3: speed limit that I didn't get to earlier. Higher one 1914 01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,400 Speaker 3: hundred kilve minutes an hour is enough for anybody. I 1915 01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:42,280 Speaker 3: set on that speed on our highways and the huge 1916 01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:44,880 Speaker 3: majority of the idiots feel the need to pass me, 1917 01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:49,439 Speaker 3: says Dennis. Dennis. I mean, look, you're going to speed limit. 1918 01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:53,800 Speaker 3: I can't say anything about that. But some people, you know, 1919 01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:55,559 Speaker 3: some people just want. 1920 01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:57,880 Speaker 33: To get And we're running out of time on the 1921 01:37:57,880 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 33: show today, aren't we, Ryan? 1922 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:04,160 Speaker 3: Are we actually no, No, you're fine.
